Yesterday ThemS From The News Post
A compact note reports yesterday’s items from the News-Post, highlighting brief local happenings and community updates in a concise recap.
Bitter cold slows but cannot freeze Winchester auction
Fifty years ago bitter cold depressed attendance at the second Jaycee Bond-added auction at Winchester Hall yet did not stop the patriotic group from purchasing 8008 dollars in bonds and stamps from goods donated by Frederick merchants. Coffee and bacon drew strong bidding with two half pound packs at 32.50 each, and a pound of sliced bacon sold for 70. About 100 pints of blood were donated on day one of the Red Cross plasma clinic at Calvary Methodist Church, with a 280 pint county target to be reached by 3 45 p.m. Temperatures ran in the teens as lake ice thickened and fuel oil supplies dwindled under bitter wind and frost. The doctor and nurses planned to double day one collection on day two.
