County Firemen Save Straw Stack From Loss
A field fire threatened a straw stack on Howard Flickinger’s farm between Woodsboro and Walkersville on Wednesday afternoon. Walkersville and New Midway volunteers combined to halt the blaze after it spread through wheat stubble and neared the stack. Firemen cited a railroad engine spark from nearby tracks as the probable cause and noted a similar wheat-fire incident nearby last week. Brooklyn Dodgers manager Len Durocher announced Barney Koch would join from the Montreal Royals in exchange for Eddie Basinski, while Eddie Miskis moves to Trenton. Howie Schultz remains on the bench for about a week.
