UC Dam Hearing Sparks Approval and Gripes in Union City
A 650 seat Union City Area High School auditorium heard concerns and praise for a proposed Union City Dam recreation complex. The plan would convert the dam on French Creek into a permanent lake with surrounding recreation sites while facing road, flood, and land-use objections from local residents and officials. Col. E C West and Corps staff addressed questions as local agencies voiced support and worries about taxes, agricultural land loss, siltation, and road disruption. The corps seeks road vacations in Waterford Township to relocate routes, a process ongoing since 1966 with help from federal lawmakers.

Shapp Plans County Health Offices Across Pennsylvania
In Harrisburg AP report Health Secretary J Finton Speller outlines a bold plan to blanket Pennsylvania with county health offices. The goal is to consolidate health functions from Public Welfare Labor and Industry and other agencies under one department. Speller argues for higher state subsidies, possibly 3 to 5 dollars per capita, to spur counties to open offices, with Philadelphia and Pittsburgh targeted for higher support. The plan faces past legislative rejection and would depend on state funding covering most costs.
