Night explosion rumors sweep Warren townspeople
Reports of a midnight blast sparked by many residents in Warren prove unfounded as investigators find no explosion and police have no official record. In Brie, six carloads of tin cans were collected Wednesday and Thursday. Erie county salvage chair Roy T. McDonald commends housewives for their effort. Punxsutawney council discussed a Route 119 highway plan and a new Mahoning Creek bridge on Indiana Street. Youngsville Council passed Ordinance No. 181 setting the 1944 tax rate at millage after third reading.
