Voorheesville Trade Board Slates New Industry Drive Voorheesville's Board of Trade last week endorsed a project which is ex- pected to attract business to the village area. Only the cooperation of the State Commerce Department is needed to get the plan moving. The idea, as set forth by Mayor George Vunck, is to show the' indus- trial and civic life of the community to large business firms in an at- tempt to induce them to locate in or near the village. Instead of a brochure or letter, however, each firm the board is in- terested in wooing will receive a package containing color slides of the available sit.es , scenic spots and busi- ness establishments in Voorheesville, and a viewer. Mayor Vunck said a list of poten- tial firms will be obtained from .the Commerce Department. The board voted $75 to pay for the initial cost of slides and viewers. Harold Schultz, board president, said the fourth annual. Christmas lighting contest will feature $30 in prizes and five honorable mentions. Board members this year will not be eligible for cash awards, Kenneth Tice, contest chairman, announced. About 30 members attended the monthly session in Duncan's restau- rant. Next meeting is Dec. 11. Lizzie Hansburg Jones Mrs. Lizzie Flansburg Jones, wife of the late Elsbree Jones, died sud- denly in her home early Thursday morning, Nov. 14.
