Memorial Picnic Big Success
Herald of Aug. 19, 1921
The auditor’s report of the Cove Memorial picnic showed it was a financial success. A net profit of $1,213 resulted from gross receipts of $2,328 less total expenditures of $1,115. The picnic attracted the interest of people outside the Cove. Special mention was made of the generous donation of 300 loaves of bread from the Haller Bakery of Altoona and a large quarter of beef from the Home Dressed Meat Co. A three-day event was in plans for next year when the dedication of the grove and an athletic field would become an asset to Cove people.
Dillings Store was filling orders from a carload of Elberta peaches for $4 a bushel.
North Woodbury directors were notified by the state director of education that the Kensinger and Stonerook Schools would be discontinued. The cost of transporting the few pupils to nearby better grade schools would be far less than operational costs of the two schools, since the state would be paying one-half transportation and $200 a year for each closed school
