Erie Drive for Scout Funds Fire and Community Notes
A grass fire west of town burned a large area impacting pastures on Milford Hall and G. C. Freeley properties and threatening buildings on the E. L. Howard place. Firefighters halted it within 20 feet of a house as Donnie and Melvin Yarnell hauled water. US 59 traffic was routed due to heavy smoke. The Boy Scouts plan a fund drive Monday 6:30 to 7:30 with Kayettes assisting in door to door canvassing. Local social notes report community visits, chapter meetings, and school district entries with multiple towns represented.
