Corry Board of Education gains new president at reorganization
Harry B. Smith was reelected president of the Board of Education at last night's reorganization meeting. City Council postponed action on the 1933 tax levy and appropriations while studying a Corry Taxpayers Union proposal to cut the 1989 assessment by half a mill and reduce salaries 15 percent. Corry Hotel Company directors elected officers for the coming year with 5. V. Stewart as president and F. A. Loveland as vice president. The Corry Taxpayers Union will study municipal, school, county, and state costs and probe public service rates. A resident reports chickens stolen from his coop south of Conford Township.

Deer Region Hunts Highlight Local News And Prices
A collage of small-town notes covers a long distance call home from Miller and a hospital discharge for Harold McGray after a gasoline fire in Celoron. The Corry area’s 1931 industrial survey shows milk at ten cents a quart and rents from 15 to 35 dollars, with unskilled labor at 36 cents and machinists at 54 to 70 cents per hour, and 1,700 job seekers. Deer hunting dominates chatter as McKean County’s deer drives boost local towns, with tales of packing weight on Toledo scales and hunters filling stores and markets. Local families mark anniversaries, college pledges, and hunting-season quirks, including a weighty season and overloaded telephone lines as winter sets in.
