Woodrow School at Sawdust Valley Destroyed by Fire
Woodrow, the showcase country school between Sawdust Valley and Williamsport, was burned Wednesday night. The new building, finished recently at about 2200 dollars, was uninsured for 1600 and destroyed with origin of the blaze still a mystery. The consolidation drive led by Superintendent Graham and Chairman Hatcher is portrayed as a public achievement, and plans likely call for a new, larger structure to replace the loss.
