Fire destroys two-story shed at Tom's Greenhouses Goshen
Goshen Fire District faced delays from a switching rain on Erie Lackawanna tracks hindering Dikeman Engine and Hose Co as a blaze gutted a two story storage shed at Tom's Greenhouses on Montgomery Street. Chief Tari planned to file a PSC complaint. Firefighting units fought the flames using hydrants to dredge water as a Minisink tanker fell short. The cause remains undetermined though faulty wiring is suspected. Thomas Esposito, owner, and Thomas Gargano, employee, described smoke and sparks. Esposito, president of Cataract Fire Co, noted no attic contents.

Pine Bush students invest in own education sampling stock
In Pine Bush Central Junior High, more than 110 seventh graders buy two shares each in COMSAT and Squibb Beech-Nut as a hands on social studies project led by teacher Doris Hambly. Pupils fund the purchases with 25 cents to $1, monitor daily quotes, and anticipate stockholder pamphlets later. The project links to Puerto Rico and a lesson on ownership in a U S corporation as COMSAT earns partnerships with RCA ITT and AT&T.
