6 The Call-Leader, Wednesday, February 2, 1983 Over 50 By BERNARD J. SCHUCK Pretend that it is November 11, 1918, and you have just picked up your Elwood Call- Leader. Maybe this writer tossed it on your porch or in the shrubbery. Across the top the headline "Armistice Signed, Fighting Ceases, Peace in Sight." There is a little American flag in "ear" and the motto "Elwood Business is Good" beneath the banner. We follow the headlines reading eagerly, "Terms Render Harmless." Another story, "Hooray, Old Kaiser Is Still others, "Holland Refuge for the Kaiser," "Today's Draft Call Suspended," and "Raising Funds For Honor Roll'" (The doughboys).
We are grateful to Everett Smith, Elwood native, now residing in Mountain Home, Arkansas, for this issue for your local daily. The big local story was about the parade on this memorable day. Charles C. Henze was appointed marshal. Director Fenelon said his band was scattered but he would find enough musicians to "make a noise." The.
number of participants ran into the thousands including on foot, horseback and in decorated automobiles. Firearms were shot all along the way and explosives sounded from various locations. American flags and red, white and blue bunting was seen everywhere. People waved flags and wore patriotic hats. Factories and schools closed so children and men could join the parade.
The factories included Ames Shovel Works, Indiana Bos, Frazier Packing, Elwood Iron Works, MacBethEvans, Sellers Kitchen Cabinet, Plate Glass, Tipton and Berry Cigar and American Sheet and Tin Plate. Floats included Liberty Bells, effigies of the Kaiser and. even the Kaiser's goat. Liberty guards, police, various units of lodges were represented. President Sellers, head of the Chamber of Commerce, Mayor Lewis, H.P.
Carpenter, Superintendent Konold, Father Biegel, John Hershey, John Mack, John Reagan, Joe Fisher, Harry Miller, John Cox, John Moschel, were the members of the parade organization. There were other stories in that old Call- Leader: "Jess Willard, heavy- weight champion, has no appetite to meet Jack Dempsey." People were asked to discontinue all supper parties and entertainment. "Just eat the three regular meals." "Red Cross will continue its work despite war's end." There were others: City authorities issued order banning the shooting of firearms at night. "Will confiscate guns of those who voilate the order." "Charlie Chaplin, comedian, marries Mildred L. Harris." East Main Street Christian Church extends call to Rev.
A.E. Other stories report: "Knights of Columbus will distribute 2 million postal cards to men in European Territory to be mailed home saying, 'I'm safe and sound." There were many little local items like: Will Polson ill with flu in Wheeling, West Virginia; brought home by brother- inChief of Police Max Hughes; John 'Hosier is buried at Perkinsville; Liston Morgan made Corporal at Camp Purdue, Lafayette; Mr. and Mrs. George Bonham motor to Kokomo; "Mick" Howard McClure has mumps at Camp Purdue; Kelly 0. Chandler, former Elwood businessman dies: corporal Robert DeHority was home to visit his parents, Mr.
and Mrs. R.E. DeHority. The Call-Leader had a cartoon character that issued words of wisdom. His name, Lem Button.
We quote, "Lem Button sed some fellers follow the races because they can't get ahead of them." And also "'The silent partner always has a lot to You can say we read that in the Call- Leader back in 1918. Obituaries Obituaries MARY CARPENTER 1970. Mary Hazel Carpenter, 84, West.

"The others are Mary E.

He is also charged in Madison and Grant counties. Johnson and Brown are being held in the Bartholomew County Jail.

DOG TAGS A MUST The city government offices indicate there seems to be some misconception of what tags dog owners must have for their pets. County, city and rabies tags are required, a release from the offices states. "Our problem is that only 26 people purchased city dogtags in 1982. There are more than 26 dogs in Tipton," the release says. It continues, "With the severity of the problem and no way to identify an owner without a proper tag, the dogs must be humanely disposed of.
This is too bad for some child's pet, but if owners have no more regard for other people's rights, we at the city must enforce the laws of the city and state. "All dog owners must buy a city tag in 1983. These may be purchased at the police station for $1. Any dog we must pick up, which is not properly tagg- ed, will be disposed of in accord with state laws. "Those dogs which are properly tagged will be returned to the owner unless it is a recurring problem in which the owner may be cited into City Court and fined." Owners whose properly tagged dogs are picked up will be subject to a verbal warning on the first offense, a written warning for the second offense and a fine for a third offense.
