Sweeney Speaks At Smithers Meet And Mosley Enlists
Marine recruit Roy Mosley, a Glen Rogers native and former Glen Rogers High School student, is two weeks into recruit training at Parris Island. He will transfer to Camp Lejeune after training for four weeks of combat training and later serve a four year term. Thomas L. Sweeney, Fayetteville candidate for the House of Delegates, told a Smithers meeting that Republicans cannot handle governing, urging stable dollars, more jobs, housing, medical care, and youth programs, as Federated Democrats discuss labor and business conditions in Fayette County. Textbooks once common in western Virginia schools included Webster’s Spelling Book, the Bible, Gulliver’s Travels, and Pilgrim’s Progress.
