No Trace
Dropped
of Chute
From a
Plane Found Here
While two local ladies were doing
tneir bit at our observation tower
Wednesday afternoon of this week,
they noticed what they thought was
a parachute dropped from a pass-
g plane.
The matter was immediately re-
ported to headquarters at Harris-
burg. At the same time an investi-
gation was made by Officer Zerphey
of town, and a number of State
Policemen.
As far® as can be learned no trace
of a parachute could be found. They
investigated the territory north of
town in the vicinity of Mt. Pleasant
Church.
