Fifty-Years-Ago

Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Thursday,
June 9, 1966
 
Thomas Moore, 10, son of Thomas M. Moore, caught the fishing bug and has become a confirmed fisherman, the most obvious symptom being he will give up almost any entertainment to go fishing. He has caught some nice fish, including a golden trout, and Sunday he caught his biggest so far, a 14 ½ inch trout, on salmon eggs, at the dam. It pulled him off of his slippery rock on which he was standing. We hear Tommy Lane caught a 16 ½ inch trout, also. Stocking the creek will help raise fishing enthusiasts.
 
Firemen’s Parade
Entries wanted for Firemen’s Parade.
This year for the first time the Fire Department will have a Firemen’s Queen and two Princesses in their Parade on Friday evening.
The queen is Miss Linda Reynolds, and the two Princesses are Miss Linda Hockenberry and Miss Kay Landis.
We would like to ask all clubs, businesses and organizations to put in an entry for the Parade to help make it a bigger event. The Parade will form on Court Street starting at the corner of the Graded School Lot.
The Buckeye Presbyterian Church will run the cook stand at the Firemen’s Carnival to help raise money for repair of the church.
 
New Building
The Monongahela Power Company is erecting a new building on Second Avenue near the Tannery. This building will serve as headquarters for maintenance men, with space for trucks, etc. The old brick building nearby, the former light plant, will be torn down.
