Grafton Lumber expands Biddeford plant under contract
Grafton Lumber Co signs five year deal with U S Plywood Corp to supply entire Biddeford plant production of finger board boosting capacity. The move requires 200 new jobs as production shifts into rebuilt facilities after last year’s $1 million fire that damaged building 30 D and the foundry, injuring three firefighters. Fingerboard process uses glued clear wood from low grade pine.

Airlift Begins Removing Americans From Cyprus
An emergency airlift started evacuating American women and children from Cyprus as anti American violence escalates.
