Court Approves Annexation

Herald of June 1, 1972

The Blair County Court approved Roaring Spring Borough’s annexation of 44.6 acres in Taylor Township. Residents of nine private properties in the vicinity of Route 164 requested the change, but the majority of the property belonged to the Spring Cove School District. The court ruled that the annexation made sense because much of the area was already receiving borough services and would have access to more after annexation. The court also found that there would be little hardship to Taylor Township.

Williamsburg VFW Post 6086 installed the following officers: Robert Waddington, Commander; Franklin Lang, Senior Vice Commander; J. Alton Kifer, Junior Vice Commander; Joseph Rodkey, Adjutant; John Hoover, Quartermaster, and Nicholas Morelli, Service Officer.

Rick Ebersole and Annette Claycomb were crowned King and Queen of Claysburg-Kimmel’s prom. The event was held at the Penn Alto Hotel in Altoona.
