Farmers face potato imports amid hopes of high prices
Lycoming county farmers hoped to push potato prices by storing tubers, but dealers imported large quantities from Potter and Tioga counties and sold them in county markets at reduced prices. Old John the Warren weather prophet predicts a mild winter based on squirrel activity. Mrs. Mary Badwin, nearing 90, rode in an automobile for the first time in her life. George Beaver, 87, famed hunter from Aristes, is nearing the century mark and has hunted daily since youth. In Trumbauersville, tire thefts from Victor Romig's garage led to arrests: William Robinson and son Earl, and James Dautrich, jailed in Doylestown after a hearing.
