A garter snake, tethered to a Berwick pole, caused a fire on a high tension cross arm and shorted the line. The blaze cut power to Berwick Bloomsburg and Danville until electricians extinguished the blaze and removed the charred snake found atop the pole. The snake’s body created resistance that heated the cross arm enough to ignite it.

Claims on Y M C A building cost disputed
Letters to the editor challenge a Herald article claiming the Y M C A building cost 276000 with a 160000 saving by management. The writer argues initial reinforced plans had bids around 250000 per section, recalls higher bids near 385000, then revised plans produced bids about 180000, and notes use of secondhand materials likely inflating actual costs. The piece notes Paris census figures showing an excess of 500000 workers over men.
