25 Years Ago to 10 Years Ago Bristol Chronicle Highlights
Chronicle excerpts recall Bristol and surrounding events from 1932 to 1947 including officers authorized to finance a new building for Carr Manufacturing, leadership changes at the Bristol Children’s Home and Ivy Guild, a one man motor patrol for the police, salary cuts for teachers, PTA activities, Eagles and church news, weddings, and town plans. Also notes 1947 Fourth of July preparations, theater rehearsals, and local honors, with an aside about white pine being the largest American conifer east of the Rockies.
