A tea for Mrs Wass, the new Methodist Church minister's wife, was hosted at the home of Mrs Milton Chaffee.

Mrs and Mrs Lloyd (Irene Wallace) Chaffee with their son Dale visited from Niagra Falls.

A couple other official happenings: A survey for a drainage line on Main Street and repairs were performed on the phone switchboard by Mr Schenk of Wellsville.

A number of you were in town during the 1940s, how about sharing some other news worthy events that you remember?
