1966 - Onaway's First Annual Goodfellow Newspaper Sales Successful...and...Fundraising for Onaway Street Decorations and Lighting Bogs Down From Presque Isle County Advance and Onaway Outlook December 22, 2016

  
CAPTION:  Onaway's First annual Goodfellow newspaper sale ended on a high note of success despite inclement
weather that began with cold rain in the morning.  This was 50 years ago this week. A total of $366.08 resulted
from the sale, which saw some 250 special copies of The Onaway News exhausted within the first hour. Proceeds
of the paper sale went to the Onaway volunteer fire department for the purchase of baskets for needed families
to supplement gifts of clothing already purchased and allocated through the school system.  In other Onaway
news, the campaign to raise funds for Onaway's street decorations and lighting fund bogged down with a total of
only $55 having been received, according to chairman "Red" Isom. About $180 was needed to support the program's
expenses for the year.
