Basic Training

Bad weather failed to sidetrack the YMCA's 21st annual Electric Train Race on Jan. 13, 1968. The event attracted 146 entries and Lewis H. Warheit was chairman. Winners, from left, are Gary Fend, Tim Niggel, John Voelker, Gene Fend, Dan Hanford, Bobby Warheit, Chris O'Brien and Bobby Cochran. The bell in the foreground was donated for the occasion by Bud Freehling of Marwood. Times may change, but classic toys don't. A train and toy show featuring collectible toys for sale will be held from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday at Eracers Go Kart Park, 640 Evans City Road. Admission is $4. Children 8 and younger will be admitted free.
