99 years ago in 1922:

• A young man and his 16-year-old sweetheart, arrested by police for spooning in a movie theater and taken before Probate Judge Smith in a delinquency hearing involving two 16-year-old girls, a 24-year-old woman and three men, are wedded sweethearts now.

The girl and the young man took out a marriage license and were united in the bonds of matrimony. Both are happy.

Judge Smith, after hearing charges against three men and one girl on charges of contributing to the delinquency of a 16-year-old girl, reserved decisions until a later day.

50 years ago in 1971:

• Christian women of the Warren area joined thousands of women around the world in a World Day of Prayer observance at First United Methodist Church, sponsored by United Church Women.

The global ecumenical service was prepared by a group of Caribbean women and used internationally under auspices of the International Committee on World Day of Prayer. Featured in the service was “The Lord’s Prayer,” a traditional West Indian chant, presented in Warren’s service by the Charm Notes.

25 years ago in 1996:

• The ripple effect of a General Motors Corp. supplier strike reached Lordstown, washing out car production at the assembly plant and lapping at the doors of the nearby metal fabricating seat-making plants.

Roughly 1,500 union workers on the “C” Crew shift started leaving the plant at 1:48 p.m. after they ran out of brake parts produced at two Delphi Chassis Systems plants in Dayton.

Lordstown was making the popular Chevrolet Cavalier and Pontiac Sunfire compact cars.

Management issued a news release telling “B” Crew workers not to report to work that evening unless told to do so by their supervisors.

10 years ago in 2011:

• Safety forces in Trumbull County were watching for signs of flooding as the Mahoning River rose above flood stage and some local streets were closed due to rising water.

A dispatcher at the Trumbull County 911 Center said portions of three roads in Braceville Township — Eagle Creek, Braceville Robbinson and Nelson Mosier — were closed due to high water.

In Warren Township, firefighters there said the Mahoning River was rising, but there were no reports of flooding.
