Winchester plans new water supply system advance
Plans for a new Winchester water system move ahead after decades of study. A filtration plant and pumping station would be built on the Shenandoah River in Warren County with a 24 inch trunk line for 17 miles along U S Route 11. The city bought seven acres along the Shenandoah North Fork from Arthur G Leake on February 13 as bond funding is pursued. The intake and pumping works would be about a mile below Cedar Creek and a Middletown filtration plant would serve Route 11 residents. A federal loan of 68 880 was secured for preliminary plans from the Community Facilities Service.

Byrd Attacks Colson Over Dodd Release From POW Camp
U S Senator Harry Byrd told 150 Virginia Seeds members in the George Washington Hotel that General Charles Colson acted inexcusable by signing the letter that secured General Francis Dodd’s release from Rose Island prison camp. He urged Colson to be punished by demotion and warned the Carlson letter would be used to discredit the United States. He warned Russia is strengthening while the war drags on and touted Virginia’s tax rate, debt-free roads, and pay-as-you-go highway policy as proof of progress. He contrasted his 1926 gubernatorial aims with current GOP challenger Francis Pickens Miller and praised Virginia’s growth and tourism.
