Herald of July 1, 1921

The Civic Club and local churches of Woodbury set up a clothing drive for people in central Europe who had received nothing since 1915. With the winter approaching, folks in that area had barely enough to last this season. New clothing and good used items could be left at McMahon’s or the Bechtel store and the drug store for shipment to Philadelphia and distribution overseas by September.

The poultry team from Vocational School, composed of Elvin Bridenbaugh, Ira Stoltzfus and Kenneth Stern, won second prize at the State College judging contest. Seven boys from the school entered the contest and George Rearick was third highest among all contestants.

Farmers along Clover Creek and Roaring Spring roads, whose fences and crops received damage during construction of the new electric line, would be reimbursed by the Raystown Co. Of Huntingdon.
