Delphi civic notes mark birthdays and local events
Tuesday's election win for the Democrats follows 53 years with Mayor Roy Clauser's administration earlier. Sara Van Sickle, new first lady, celebrates her birthday and teases a May baby. Flora voters elect Jones Morris Watson to three ward trustees and Roberts re-elected as clerk-treasurer. Camden keeps the town board. Delphi residents travel abroad and discuss local issues from space capsule to city sewer plans. A diamond valued at 500 dollars is recovered after a missing ring mystery. Local officials confront dumping on county highways and a tragedy at Indianapolis affects nearby families. Community notices include adopting a child for Christmas through the Knights of Columbus and real estate talks featuring Nixon as speaker. Continuous city projects include sewer, gutter, and curb bids on Vine Street and a new 10 inch water main near a proposed water tower.
