Mud Turns Winter Camporee Into Sticky Day For Scouts
The Hock Hocking District winter camporee at the Skinner farm on Fisher Rd became a quagmire after Friday rain. Keith Butt, district commissioner, noted the mud did not hinder activities such as a Ted Dean trapshooting demo, Bruce Bunch winter camping instruction, fire building display, and a Ted Davis talk on gear. About 100 boys and 12 leaders from troops 56 Athens, 77 Athens, 76 Coalville, 60 Buchtel, 50 Albany, 71 Athens, 65 N.ville, 52 Athens, and post 67 Nelsonville attended.

Towns N Gown Street Work Is Welcomed
Patchy winter damage on Athens streets drew relief from drivers though Service Safety Director Dwight Robinson warned that the improvement is temporary. Asphalt cold mix will not hold until April, and a city program using 405 asphaltic concrete aims to resurface fourteen streets this spring and summer. Mulligan Road and Joneswood Drive will be re‑paved, but curbs and some features will be omitted. Ohio University parking will be restricted during the Alden Library addition, with 47 meters removed and billed to contractor Karr Construction Co., potentially boosting city revenue despite short-term inconvenience.
