West Virginia items mix gambling talk and campus rules
A West Virginia State Council urged a horse racetrack in Putnam County, while Morgantown campus parking rules threaten car bans and student suspensions. Huntington sewage plans move ahead with state approval needed, and Kenova pursues a water plant as a contract dispute prompts relief. Logan voters back higher teacher pay, flood control is cited for regional reservoirs, and small towns update alarm systems and church building.
State Resident Marked 103 Birthday Tuesday
William Jerry Cooper Smith observed his 1108rd birthday Tuesday with his 75-year-old daughter Mrs Etta Leezer. The pair planned a quiet day at their home four miles east of Winfield West Virginia as Smith enjoys good health and a garden area. He was seen with his son Fred, 74, earlier, while his daughter described them visiting Marmet. The article also notes a regional forestation drive in Gilmer County and includes a public notice for delinquent land sales in Raleigh County with multiple names and parcels set for auction March 10, 1956.
