Rockets Grounded in Marcus Hook Fireworks Plan
Marcus Hook officials approved a ground fireworks display at Marcus Hook Junior High after a five hour meeting voting 5 to 20 to grant the permit. Aerial shows were rejected due to a nearby cellophane plant owned by American Viscose Corp which protested the decision. The Marcus Hook Fire Co. must now secure School Board approval. The borough council warned of ordinance liability for damages and ordered parking limits on Green Street to aid fire vehicle movement. Council also considered a survey of borough streets for parking changes and noted ongoing totals investigations of borough residents. An ordinance allowing Philadelphia Electric Co. to lay a propane pipeline from Sun Oil Co. to the Trainer borough line was approved, running along 4th Street toward the treatment plant and PRR right-of-way.

Mrs. Henry C. Patterson, co chair of Friends of Caleb Pusey House, argues a 1693 coin found near the Caleb Pusey House in Up land ties to Alexander Ross and Morgan Bryan, early Quaker settlers who helped open the Shenandoah Valley. Ross, indentured to Caleb Pusey, later joined Bryan in a 1740 land grant and founded Hopewell Meeting House.
