Flames from an overheated furnace caused a great deal of damage to the building occupied by the Newton Falls Savings & Loan Co. The fire was discovered by Cashier J.B. Scot when he entered the building shortly after 7:30 in the morning and was met by a volume of smoke.

The fire department was summoned. They entered the basement and found that the furnace had become overheated , that the rafters over the furnace were already blazing and the flames were fast eating their way through the floor.

Chemicals were applied and later a stream of water was turned on the flames and they were soon extinguished.

The contents and banking equipment were damaged a great deal by the smoke and a large hole was burned in the floor. The loss to the bank was estimated at $500 and the loan to the building, which was owned by Foulk & Johnson, at $1,000, both of which were fully covered by insurance.

Warren, which had won several national awards for its clean-up-beatification programs, added another laurel by winning a Distinguished Achievement Award in the 1971 National Clean Up Contest. The announcement was made in the last week of January 1972 in Washington, D.C.

This marked the city’s fourth entry in the contest in which it competed with hundreds of cities throughout the country with populations between 25,000 and 250,000.

The National Clean Up Contest, which was the oldest and largest such competition in the United States, was sponsored by the National Clean Up-Paint Up-Fix Up Bureau, a nonprofit foundation established in 1912.

The children giggled when Emily Duda asked Mayor Hank Angelo what its like working in a haunted house.

“Saturday mornings you swear you hear people walking upstairs and no one is there,” he said.

Emily also wanted to know what exactly the mayor did for a living.

“A lot of people ask me that,” Angelo said with a smile. “I try to manage a city.”

The young reporter asked that same question to all three Trumbull County commissioners and other officeholders during Public Officials Day at St. Mary Middle School.

St. Mary’s fifth-grade class sponsored the event as part of Catholic Schools Week. Most of the politicians who attended were Catholic or supported Catholic education.

The scales shuddered, creaked, and groaned — much like the 330 Fitness Challengers perched atop them after a week jammed with exercise and healthy eating — but it worked. One week in, 1,502 pounds out.

In first place in the community weight-loss competition to benefit local charities was the previous year’s Fitness Challenge champions, Believers’ Bulge Busters. The five-member team included Bruce Buckler, who swore that he wouldn’t be back to defend the title.

“Yeah, and I told you I wasn’t going to get fat again — so I lied,” he said.

All but 4 1/2 pounds found their way back onto his frame after the last year’s Fitness Challenge ended, he said. So he was back to lose it — the weight — and win it — the competition — again, he said.
