Palestine man’s hobby preserves rare railroad passes
M. E. Alexander of Palestine Texas builds a large collection of railroad passes dating from the 19th and early 20th centuries. He values items such as a yellowing pass from the Pacific Railway of Missouri and the long sought solid silver Rio Grande Southern issue. He exchanges and hunts for rare passes while his collection grew after personal family events and his Missouri Pacific clerkship aided access to several items.

Construction Completed At Camp Kiwanis Dam Project
Completion of the new dam at Camp Kiwanis on Poestenkill headwaters north of East Pocatenkila completes the lake. The old dam failed in January floods and the site gains a deeper lake with four sluices. Funds came from the royal community Chest Kiwanis Club of Troy and private donors. A new steel dining hall replaces the old structure and Camp Fire Girls project leaders expect their best year in 1950.

Von Manstein Sentenced For Atrocities
Former Field Marshal Erich von Manstein is sentenced to 14 years in prison by a British military court in Hamburg for atrocities committed by German troops during World War II. He was found guilty on several charges including disregarding duty and the killing of Soviet prisoners, while acquitted on others related to mass killings. Manstein, once Hitler’s trusted commander, faced four months of trial before a verdict that he contested as necessary to defend Germany’s campaign.
