SIDEWALK TO THE PAST: A sidewalk that disappears into the ground and a 75-year-old chimney are all that's left to remind hundreds of Dexter residents of their Alma Mater. Shrubbing and grassing are nearly complete where the town's proudest structure, the six-room Copeland High School, stood at this time last year. A memorial structure to the 1887 school, which was razed because of dangerous structural defects, is planned for the front of the new elementary school.

Pittsfield Township Home Burns Pittsfield Township firemen spent more than three hours this morning battling a fire which ruined this frame dwelling at 171 W. Ellsworth Rd. Sheriff's deputies said Mrs. Helen Richardson and her family escaped to safety. Flames swept through the interior and roof of the structure. Firemen believe the blaze started in a rear section of the dwelling and spread rapidly to the front. The house is owned by Kenneth Havoline, sheriff's men reported.
