villages throughout the area had floats and marching bands in the parade.

Fire Chief Henry Esler of the fire department
will have difficulty climbing laddered during the next few days because of an
injury he received Monday morning when he was wedged between two cars. He was
conversing with a motorist in front of the municipal building at the time the
postoffice truck backed into him.
Robert Miller, five-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Miller, is confined to the hospital recovering from injuries he received when he ran into the road and was run over by an automobile. The tires passed over his chest, but no bones were found broken. It is a miracle he was not badly injured.
