West Chester centennial book to be a lively history
The West Chester Centennial Book, chiefly by Mrs. Richard Fisher and her daughter Kathy, will compile dozens of people and incidents from the town’s past with hundreds of photographs. The authors aim for engaging writing and solid research, including a long section on crime, and the book is described as a standout among such publications. Residents are urged to reserve copies, with cost and size yet to be determined. A note asks for any Washington wooden nickels from the centennial celebration.

Wood Foundation Breakthrough In Cold Weather
In Spirit Lake Iowa and elsewhere builders trial a wood foundation system treated to resist decay and termites. NAHB studies say up to 12.5 percent cheaper and 30 percent faster to install than concrete blocks with a 30 year bond backing. First used in Lexington Park Maryland under FHA experimental housing, the wood system reportedly dries basements in floods and eases finishing work while offering thermal benefits.
