Old Home Town – 40 years ago

Burglars entered the Ober Clothing Store, 821 Mass., on a Sunday morning and made off with more than $7,000 in men’s clothing. Bob Radcliffe, manager, didn’t discover the theft until early Monday.

The Department of Health, Education and Welfare approved $411,500 in Hill-Burton funds for Lawrence Memorial Hospital to finance a 42-bed, long-term care addition to the hospital. Rodger Johnson was the LMH administrator.
