50 Years Ago

Herald of Dec. 20, 1973

Atty. E.W. Van Horn, of Bedford, solicitor for the school district, administered the oath of office to Dr. Bulger, Charles Hershberger, and Luther Steele, who were beginning new terms as directors, and Arlan Beckman of Woodbury, newly elected member. A meeting followed where the directors discussed the effect of Daylight Savings Time on the school schedule.

Snow-covered highways contributed to accidents in the cove region during the week, which included one at the bridge at East Sharpsburg in which a Six Mile Run woman suffered injuries of the back and was admitted to Nason Hospital.

State Police reported at Mary M. Snyder, 49, was a passenger in a car drive by Glenn Snyder, 52, of Six Mile run. The report states that after passing another car while eastbound on Route 164 Mr. Snyder lost control of the vehicle on the icy highway and the car hit an abutment on the bridge.
