1978 - Girl Scout Week Proclaimed in Onaway by Mayor Robert Nelson...and...Clancy, the Saint Bernard, Saves the Lives of His Owners From Presque Isle County Advance and Onaway Outlook March 8, 2018

  
CAPTION:  Onaway Mayor Robert Nelson red a proclamation at the city commission 
meeting, March 6, 1978 designating the week of March 12 to 18 Girl Scout Week in
the city of Onaway.  After pointing out that Girl Scouting celebrated its 66th 
birthday, March 12th, the proclamation recognized some of the influences and
accomplishments of the movement both nationally and locally.  Members of Mrs. Robert
Penhale's Girl Scout Troop 57 were meeting to present the mayor with Big Waters
Girl Scout Council patch. In other Onaway news, Clancy, a 7-month-old St. Bernard
pup, probably saved the lives of his owners when a fire broke out at the Melvin 
Baracy residence on Dempsey Highway, Feb. 28, 1978.  His barking woke the family
and gave them time to leave th e smoke-filled house before it burst into flames.
