Beavers Down McKean 19 15 In Corry Southern Division
Corry High’s Beavers captured their first Southern Division win in the Erie County Basketball League by tripping McKean 19 to 15 at Corry due to a school repainting move shifting the game location. Paul Mould of Euclid Street remained in Corry Hospital with a deep laceration from an axe accident in Columbus while assisting with stump cutting. A second municipal job exam date was not set after City Council rejected the Civil Service Board’s initial list at a Saturday special meeting.

Income tax day and debt limit
The first income tax day of 1954 falls on Friday with a final payment or completed 1953 return due by midnight. Personal income taxes yield about 45 percent of federal revenue while corporate taxes provide about 30 percent with March and June payments at 40 percent and September and December at 10 percent.
