POWER CITY NEWS SPRINGDALE, PA. AND VICINITY * by Edward A. Mattie Branch 296 Plans for the chicken supper that was supposed to have been held on Noiepber 25th were progressing nicely when on the day of the supper it was soon realized that most everybody in this area was snowbound. To add to the confusion, it was impossible to have the chickens delivered, and Arthur Nagy and his orchestra Were snowbound in Coraopolis. So, obviously, the only thing fco do was to cancel the affair. However, the supper will be held probably in January. The many inquiries by telephone about the supper were very much appreciated. One person who missed all the excitement about the weather was our Vice President John Farkas. He, spent the week in the Presbyterian Hospital in Pittsburgh.
