Happenings
By Carolyn Adriaansen (926-4436) Days Past: "At night, after the factory work hours were over, kids including Eugene Keukelaar, Morris Schoonerman, Robert DeNearing and Richard DeNearing, would jump into the trough of warm water, used to cool the hot cans of vegetables, behind the main factory building at the Wayne County Canning Company on Buffalo Street.
