75 Years Ago

Herald of Dec. 23, 1948

Topped by a towering 90-foot evergreen at New Enterprise, every community in Morrisons Cove is decorated for the 1948 Christmas season. The giant tree which has glowed in the southern Cove for a number of years, is located in the yard of Cyrus Furry.

In Woodbury the community tree at the Church of God was again decorated. In Williamsburg colored lights with pine covering the wires were strung at High and Second Streets, and in Roaring Spring the community Christmas tree was located at the Lambert Apartments.

Glenn Renniger, aged 14, of Roaring Spring was injured when his sled collided with a car. He’s in Nason Hospital in critical condition, being taken there in the fire company’s ambulance.

The first of a series of high school all-star basketball games will be played on the Morrisons Cove High School floor with a combined Martinsburg-Cove High team facing a combined Williamsburg-Roaring Spring team.
