Looking Back
A building permit for the construction of a McDonald's restaurant in Delphi was issued Tuesday by the Carroll County Area Plan Commission. Liberty Township Volunteer Fire Department will be hosting a ground-breaking ceremony for a new fire station and training room on Oct. 26. The end is now in sight for the Delphi City Clerk- Treasurer's office for long, awaited relief from computer dilemmas. In a two-to-one vote, Board of Works members accepted a proposal by ENS for a new computer hardware to be placed in the Clerk's office, with appropriate software. 25 YEARS AGO Smith Construction Co., Flora was one of 116 firms honored by the Indiana Motor Truck Assoc. during the association's 50th Anniversary Convention at French Lick. The company, which became an IMTA member prior to 1950, was individually recognized for its long-time service to the association. Donna Clingenpeel, a senior at Carroll High School, was crowned homecoming queen during halftime festivities at the Carroll-Pioneer football game last Friday. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Don Clingenpeel, Flora. 50 YEARS AGO Sunday evening, beginning at 6:30 at the Christian church, members and friends will gather for a fellowship meeting to honor Mr. and Mrs. Freeman Redding, home on furlough from Jamaica. Redding has been in Jamaica for the past three years building churches. Cosmetic business should have been good in Delphi this week judging from the amount used by Delphi high school freshmen Tuesday. The extravagant and haphazard use of it was in keeping with their ridiculous attire as they submitted to the dictates of their upper classmen on "Initiation Day". Casual observers believed the freshmen were enjoying it as much or more than the sophomores. 75 YEARS AGO The Delphi Journal is celebrating its 92nd anniversary today, being almost a century old without missing a single issue. During all these years it has fought the battles of the people as it has seen them from an unbiased standpoint. While at times some few might have had different ideas, yet standing by the principles of the Republican party, it has been assisting the early pioneers in making the United States the greatest nation in the world today. We have always reserved the right to praise officers of both parties in power as well as to tell them of their faults and short comings and while the Journal will continue to be a Republican newspaper, our policy will remain unchanged for the future. 100 YEARS AGO Flora is to have a regular city park, besides a new ball park next season, if present plans are carried out, and as the promoter is a man of his word, things at this time look very favorable. The beautiful grove is just south of town, half way between Flora and Bringhurst. The place will be an ideal one for family reunions, band concerts, etc. It will prove a great place for large crowds. Another movement will be to select the best players from the Flora and Bringhurst teams and have one that can play Frankfort a close game any day. |
