Nearly 100 Attend Dedication Os Pierceton Community Bldg.

Nearly 100 Pierceton townsmen- and visiting dignitaries were on hand late Saturday morning to attend formal dedication of the new Pierceton community building located on south First street. The dedication was the climax of an effort on the part of the Lowe Foundation, Inc., to “do something meaningful" fqr the town of Pierceton. It was also in memory of the late Murland V. (“Andy”) Lowe, co-founder of Whitley Products, Inc., Pierceton's leading manufacturer and employer. ‘Dad Would Be Proud' Jack Lowe, president of Whitley Products. Inc., and a member of the Lowe Foundation, said, "Our father had a dream. He always wanted to do something fine for this community and this building is the result. “Dad would be proud of this building." Jack said in an almost tearful afterthought. Jack noted the work of those he termed the “unsung people" of our community — pointing to the town's police and firemen. "This building is in dedication to their service to the community." he added. The program, held in the large public meeting rooms of the new community building, followed a ham and chicken dinner catered to the accompaniment of organ music by Mrs. Betty Hostetler. Leon S. Kubacki, cashier of the Pierceton State Bank, acted as master of ceremonies, and commented on the town's 100year history "The town hall has been in the same location throughout the history of the town." he commented. adding, “This will be its first change in 100 years." Mr. Kubacki recognized visiting dignitaries, as follows: State senator John F. Augsburger of Milford, state representatives Arthur Coblentz of Liberty Mills, Ralph Heine of Coliimbia City, and Warsaw mayor Paul (“Mike") Hodges. He also recognized Clarence S. Baxter, age 85. as “the town’s oldest businessman in years of continuous community service.” Mr. Baxter has operated a 5 cent - $1 store in Pierceton since 1935. He also recognized Walter E. Shoop, president of the Pierceton State Bank, who at 79, “has been in the banking business here since 1921 "

Inc., and a member of the Lowe Foundation, presenting a new American flag to Roy Russell, a member of Menzie-Reece Post 258, American Legion and in charge of the color guard.

Hear Thames Mauzy Before introducing speaker Thames Mauzy, state representative from this area, Leon Kubacki, said Whitley Products was founded by the late Murland V. (“Andy”) Lowe and the late James Adams, both of Columbia City, in that city as a defense industry. A disastrous fire on May 5, 1955, burned the plant to the ground. It was after this fire that the company purchased land south of Pierceton and began to build a completely new plant. The company had a warehouse on south First street in Pierceton prior to the fire. The company employs 215 people here at the present time. The Lowe Foundation. Inc., was founded May 30, 1952. Speaker Mauzy said, “the people of Pierceton can be justly proud of this fine building." He called it "the most well planned and built of any building I have seen in the state of Indiana for a community of this size.” Turn Over Keys Following his remarks. Jack Lowe called Donald Gebert,
