Sun and Highway Crews Clear Snowfall Side

A warming sun on Tuesday aided highway crews to clear snowfall that slowed traffic from Monday. State crews used eight snowplows and ash spreaders plus two motor graders starting at 11 p.m. Sunday and finishing by 9 p.m. Tuesday with twenty men.

Decorations Completed for Christmas Season

Finishing touches on McArthur streets for Christmas were made by crews from the Columbus and Southern Ohio Electric Co and the Zaleski Youth Camp. Last week the camp erected giant candles on boulevard light standards and this week the two crews strung colored lights, pine wreaths, illuminated Santa Claus, and other decor. The Zaleski boys rewired and repainted decorations themselves and supplied pine used in the displays.
