STATES Willis, Reichle or Glen Latter Name for the Town Survives . • By Mrs. Dan Piccone Correspondent There are' many ways towns can change. They can grow into cities or they can be deserted and become ghost towns. They can be changed by a highway or rail road either goinj* through them or around them. Reichle is due for a change as of Feb. 1, 1950. Mrs. Louise Boucher, postmistress of Reichle, has received word from the postal department of Washington, D. C., that after Feb. 1 the name will no longer be Reichle but will take the name of the station on the railroad, which is Glen. The change is being jnade as a result .of a petition signed by a majority of the people who get their mail at Reichle. Reichle has had a variety of names. It was called Willis years ago and for a time after it was changed to Reichle the tele phone was still listed as Willis while the depot was Glen. When the station was one mile farther south at the foot of the Apex hill, Reichle was also located there. While Mrs. Reichle, mother of Adolph Reichle, was postmistress the station, hotel, and post office were moved to its present loca tion. The reason it was not called Glen at that time was because there was another Glen post of fice in the state at that time. Now, finally, we call our com munity Glen. But no doubt it will be some time before we will forget our other names. t Ann Malesich Is President of Ladies of Elks NIGHT SCHOOL SUGGESTED BY LEGION POST Blood Bank to Be Formed to Assist Barrett Hospital To Maintain Reserve Ladies of the Elks met Tuesday evening at the I.O.O.F. hall for the installation of officers for 1950.
