A new American Legion building on Marion’s Main St. soon will be a reality, according to members of the Legion building committee.

The new building will continue to house the Recreation Parlor and Marion Electric Shop.

The second floor will be devoted to Legion clubrooms and three office spaces along the front of the building.

The Marion Warriors football squad added a sixth scalp to its victory string Friday when the team defeated Hope, 33-0.

The entire squad was treated to a chili supper at Kingfisher’s Inn after the victory. Mr. and Mrs. George King, owners and operators of the popular eating place, were hosts.

Remodeling and redecoration are underway this week on a new office location for the law firm of Johnston and Costello. The firm will occupy a room immediately south of Farmers and Drovers National Bank on 3rd St.

Marion’s water supply has become lower and lower in recent months and now stands at a point that is not only inadequate but dangerous. The city commission is looking at the main river channel above Dogfish Dam as a new source and has hired engineers who are drawing up plans to change the channel.

Boy Scout members of the Pioneer Patrol had a wiener roast, overnight party, and breakfast over the weekend at the Kenneth Wingerd home. Scouts attending were Oscar Davies, Dick Hoch, Dean Kelsey, Robert Meisinger, David Montgomery, Jerry Seifert, and Bruce Wingerd.
