Pomeroy-Middleport Humping at Hobson
The Hobson project shows progress with piece work earning about a dollar per hour last week, sixty cents by day work when shops closed. Fifty more men were added Monday, totaling one hundred, with rapid improvement expected. A Memorial Day observance at the school house grounds is planned, including a platform and morning services at all churches eliminated to allow attendance. The piece plan's success contrasts with a broader decline in Memorial Day observances as leisure activities rise.
