Showdown Over Booster Club Funds Divides Springfield
In Springfield the fate of a $550.81 Provident National Bank account will be decided by a district justice at 1:30 p.m. Monday. Robert Joy leads the 1976 football boosters and wants the money for jackets for players, but new regulations cap per player spending at seven dollars for year end dinners. John Shell and Harry Stellfax challenge Joy, claiming ownership of the funds and records, while school officials recount a 1977 directive aimed at fair funding across sports and a consolidated booster umbrella called the Benchwarmers to fund all programs equitably. Joy threatens to give the money to a leukemia fund if the current boosters receive it.

Victim identified as 52 year old Joseph J Igo of Aston. Community leaders cite Cherry Tree Road signals and Clayton Park access as danger points. Despite talks with PennDOT and local officials in 1965 and 1976, no lasting improvements occurred.
