Home from Service

Herald of Jan. 17, 1946

As the last of three brothers who were in the service to return, Cpl. Robert H. McGraw, son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles A. McGraw of Woodlawn Ave., Martinsburg, has received his discharge. He arrived in the states on Jan. 3, after 16 days on the Atlantic, the long journey being largely due to stormy weather.

At the January meeting of the Martinsburg Volunteer Fire Company, members who are to serve as drivers, nozzlemen, engineers and hosemen during 1946 were named by Fire Chief Frank H. Teeter.

The people of the Central section of the Cove who are willing to help in the used clothing drive which is now in progress. During the drive held last year the people of Martinsburg and rural communities did exceptionally well, but the need is even greater now than it had been then. Everyone is urged to go over old clothing that may be hanging in closets or stored away in attics, as it is possible that they can spare a few more articles of wearing apparel to help the suffering people of both Europe and parts of the Far East.
