Dam Trail Work Expands At Huntington County Park
Road project to fix leaks costs about $2000. If leaks persist, waterproofing may be considered. A site visit was made to the dam by John R. Smith of Huntington company, county court president, Clerk Anderson, and E. H. Shriver, park board chairman. A bulldozer will grade a trail through the camp grounds for picnic ovens to be installed later. WPA crews have cleared rock along the trail for ten days. Raleigh County swimmers are already using the lake, and grouting and drilling will not require draining the dam, which will stay full for swimming all summer.

Soviet troops on a 35 mile Kharkov front forced a water barrier breach, split German forces, and moved to occupy positions. Red Star and British sources describe Germans retreating slowly while Russians advance toward Kharkov’s heart. In Kerch, Soviet communiques say Russians withdrew to new positions in a seven day battle, with fighting continuing but Germans not yet at Kerch City. A German spokesman claimed Axis troops crossed the tartar ditch after a rapid six day advance. Also, Roy Reid and Helen Stone seek a marriage permit in Leon County clerk’s office.
