Sunday marked the end of an era as the Mangas Cafeteria opened its doors for the last time under the guiding hands of George and Jack Mangas.
The Mangas family has become somewhat of a tradition in the community and it is with regret that we watched them retire. But they have earned a rest after 41 years of continuous operation in Elwood.
In addition to operating an eating establishment that became world famous, the Mangases became deeply involved in the affairs of their community. They were always in the forefront when it came to any civic project or an idea to aid fellow citizens.
We take this opportunity to salute the Mangas family and to express the hope that we can continue to call them friends and neighbors for many years to come.

It was the first significant problem reported during the preparations to begin the countdown and a space agency spokesman said Armstrong, Collins and Aldrin sharpened their flying skills in moonship trainers.
In a final pre-countdown staff meeting Wednesday night, Launch Director Rocco A. Petorne told launch crewmen: “This is the big one we’ve been working on for eight or nine years. We’re going into it with a good posture. Let’s keep everything moving.”
The countdown includes 93 hours of work and 40 hours, 32 minutes of rest periods. These rest intervals could be used to recoup lost time if the helium leak caused a countdown delay.
Pre-countdown operations began Wednesday night and continued through
today.
