West Virginia’s 1962 economic year reviewed and forecast

It highlights defense contracts growth to 134 million dollars, rising crude oil output, auto and retail gains, and public works stimulus, alongside concerns about unemployment, retraining needs, and population loss since 1960. The outlook predicts higher wages, improved factory pay, and continued economic expansion into the centennial year while signaling ongoing education challenges for the workforce.

Reward for Buffalo tip leads to bandit capture
The mother in law of alleged partner Bobby Randell Wilcoxson will receive a $10,000 Readers Digest reward. Alfred Nussbaum’s arrest followed tips from Alicia Majchrowicz’s mother, Buffalo resident Mrs. Alice Majchrowicz. Nussbaum aided Wilcoxson’s capture after a Baltimore chase, and Wilcoxson was arrested there November 9. The FBI denied Nussbaum’s involvement at the time. Mrs Majchrowicz plans to use the money to support her daughter and grandson.
