Looking Back
Carroll County officials sworn in during the Dec. 15 ceremony in Carroll Circuit Court were Dennis Randle, Carroll County Sheriff; James Huffer, Carroll County Prosecutor; Marla Milazzo, Clay Township Trustee; Helen Schilling, Deer Creek Township Trustee; and Joann Vianco, Tippecanoe Township Trustee. Carroll Circuit Judge Joseph Carey officiated. Other county officials were sworn in by Carroll County Clerk Beth L. Myers in private ceremonies. An open house for Camden Elementary's log cabin was held. 25 YEARS AGO Delphi Community School Corporation's board approved a $5.031 million building program for the corporation following a school building project hearing at Delphi Community School's Commons Monday evening. In addition the board contemplates spending $795,000 Cumulative Building Fund to remodel the Camden Elementary School, remodel Delphi Community High School and for razing the existing Middle School. Most of the expenses at Camden and DCHS are for roof repairs. 50 YEARS AGO Young Flora attorney Dick Bishop apparently takes his duties seriously. Arranging for sale of property belonging to an estate which the Bishop law firm administrates. Dick climbed up into a corn crib, dug down deep and came up with several sample ears of corn for moisture tests. We don't know where he took his legal training, but the school must have leaned heavily on the personal service angle. We wonder whether the bar examination included a questionnaire on corn crib climbing. Might prove handy! What does it cost to conduct a successful political campaign? On a countywide basis, slightly over $3,000 would seem to turn the trick. This statement is based on the current financial statement of the Democrat Central Committee. 75 YEARS AGO The new Ford V-8 for 1934 is being displayed in the showrooms of The Delphi Motor Sales, Ford Dealers, on the northwest corner of Main and Market streets. According to Fred Wheeler, of the local dealership, the new Ford v-8 has greater power, more speed, quicker acceleration, smoother performance, more miles per gallon, especially at higher speeds, and quicker starting in cold weather, plus refined body lines and a new built-in system of clear vision body ventilation. We are anxious to have the public inspect the new Ford V-8 because it is the best car the Ford Motor Company ever built, said Mr. Wheeler. 100 YEARS AGO Letters to Santa… Dear Santa Claus, I will write you a letter to tell you what I want for Christmas. I am not going to tell you all I want for I want several things. I will just name a few things and you can give the things I do not want to the poor little children that have no nice home or ever get Christmas presents. Now Santa Claus if you think it is best to send these things to the little heathen children you can but if you will I will be glad to get a pair of gloves. Now this is all that I want so good-bye, from your friend, Miss Ollie Tribbett. Dear Santa Claus, I live in Carroll county. I am eight years old and in the third grade. I want a ball glove and a lace doll and a book and some candy and some nuts. I guess this is all for this time. Your Friend, Paul Hoshaw. |
