Did you hear the story about the man who began construction of a new bar? A local church began to petition and pray to stop the bar from opening. A week before it was to open, lightning struck the bar and burned it to the ground.
The St. James Parish Youth Commission is hosting a hygiene drive this summer to help collect items that will support local youth.
PROGRESS COMES TO LUTCHER: The original, round wooden water tower came down in 1939 to make way for the new Lutcher water system. Senator Rodney Woods, Jr. announced in August of that year that the Lutcher waterworks plan neared reality thanks to 24 Lutcher citizens who agreed to purchase $7,950 worth of bonds to establish the waterworks system. Only $2050 more in bonds was needed to be sold and there were more people to contact. The 24 citizens who helped make the water project a reality were: Paulin Poche, T. J. Foret, Aloysius Bourgeois, Felix Nobile, A. G. Gearheard, Mrs. L. D. Prescott, Dr. Paul E. Johnson, Dr. Irving Gross, Oscar Reynaud, Rodney Woods, Jr., Dr. M. A. Tortorich, Sigur Martin, Durel Woods, A. D. Tramonte, Sam Corona, Frank Szubinski, W. J. Rouillier, Achille Bourgeois, Dr. A. J. Nobile, Gerald Viator, Sidney Bowman, A. L. Faucheux and George Reynaud.
