Looking Back
Ground was broken recently on a 16-foot addition to the back of the Scout Cabin at Flora Community Park. Improvements to the Cabin will include a small kitchen, utility room,ADA accessible bathroom, and Scoutmaster office/storage room. The project is being overseen by Flora Rotary Club. The present building has no plumbing, only electricity and a very old furnace. Residents continuing to use Pittsburg Spring as a source of drinking water should reconsider their action. Carroll County Health Department closed the spring last July. With the assistance of the Highway Department, a warning sign was posted and a cap was placed over the spring's pipe yet use of the spring continues. Water sample tests still indicate presence of total coliform, bacteria. 25 YEARSAGO Due to a record corn harvest, Yeager and Sullivan is building a half million-bushel storage warehouse for the excess grain according to Bruce Buckmaster, director of marketing. PresentlyYeager and Sullivan is drying the corn with an air system that blows the grain 400 feet with a 40 foot rise with a mixture of an ag lime base as explained by Buckmaster. "We're anticipating a two to three percent loss of grain when wemove the corn into the building from the outside temporary storage," noted Buckmaster. "None of the corn stored outside will be used for customer feed. "We'll use that corn for our own animals," he added. 50 YEARSAGO Vital statistics of the class of 1957 include the following facts: Twelve young men and two young women of the 63 members of the graduating class of 1957 have enrolled in college this fall. This is better than 25 percent of last year's seniors. Four girls and two boys have married since graduation last spring. Twelve of the 37 boys have entered military service. Thirty-onemembers of the class are living at home and they are either working at home or are employed in Delphi and vicinity. 75 YEARSAGO Friday night the Camden varsity will oppose the Oracles. Camden has been going like a house afire in the two games played thus far and the general opinion in the neighboring village is that they have the best team that has represented them for a number of years. The more enthusiastic say it is the best teamthat they have ever had and is one that will give a world of trouble in the coming sectional. They are larger than usual, are fast, shifty, and can hit with the best of them. Furthermore they are full of confidence which is a necessary attribute of a good team. 100 YEARSAGO Tuesday, Camden voted for incorporation, the majority being 31. There were 135 votes cast, 83 for and 52 against. The election board chosen wasmade up of J.M. Harrison, U.E. Tesh and O.W. Wyatt, three of the most prominent citizens of the town.
