Youth Center Fails as Memberships Go Unsold in Corry
A small band of youths and some adults funded a proposed Corry Youth Center but failed to secure broad support. At a high school assembly, memberships were offered at five dollars, yet not a single membership was sold, prompting the board to end the effort and return the building to its owner. Meanwhile a Washington memo warns of rising softwood lumber prices due to new standards, predicting shortages and possible price gouging.
