Emergency Action Plan McClure Volunteer Fire Company McClure Quick Response Service Police & Community Watch WHY PREPARE? Disaster can strike quickly and without warning, anytime or anywhere. Would you know what to do if it happened today? Even though you may not be able to control a disaster or stop it from happening, you do have control over how you will respond to one. Protecting yourself and your family in an emergency requires planning. Being prepared will not only help you respond effectively in a dangerous situation, but it can also help you to lessen the impact of a disaster, and sometimes even avoid the danger completely. Remember, local responders may not be able to reach you immediately, or they may need to focus their efforts elsewhere. Your ability to be self-sufficient may be a matter of survival for you and your family. Don’t wait for help that may not be available or may come too late. Take control of your own safety — it can save your life! Boro Management BE A READY KID? Emergencies and disasters can be scary, but there are ways to help you stay safe before, during, and even after a disaster. Here, you can play games to become a Disaster Master and learn how to build an emergency kit. You will meet our friend Pedro the Penguin, who will teach you all about staying safe. You will even be able to make your own emergency plan with your family. https://www.ready.gov/kids TALK IT THROUGH? If a disaster happens, knowing who to call and where to meet is an important part of emergency planning for you and your family. Use this page to write down all of your family contact information a nd keep a copy with you wherever you go. WHO WILL WE CONTACT? Pick the same person for each family member to contact. Pick someone out of town—they may be easier to reach in a disaster. Text, don’t talk. In an emergency, phone lines may be tied up. It may be easier to text and this leaves phone lines open for emergency workers. WHERE WILL WE MEET? Decide on safe, familiar, accessible places where your family can go for protection or to reunite. If you have pets or service animals, think about animal-friendly locations. Consider places in your house, in your neighborhood, and outside of your city or town so you’re prepared for any situation. PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE! On your own list or using the resources below, write down your contacts and plans. Make sure everyone in the family has copies and keeps them in a safe space, like in a backpack, wallet, or taped in a notebook. Put them in your cell phone if you have one. Hold regular household meetings to review and practice your plan. THE FIRST THREE DAYS AFTER AN EMERGENCY Local officials and relief workers will respond after a disaster, but they may not be able to reach everyone right away. That's why it's critical to be prepared to survive on your own for a minimum of three days in the event of an emergency. This may mean providing your own shelter, food, water, first-aid, sanitation and other basic needs.

- McClure Pool | mcclurepa1867
VETERANS MEMORIAL POOL Contact The Veterans Memorial pool in McClure became a reality through the efforts of the McClure Chamber of Commerce. In 1947, the subject of a swimming pool for West Beaver Township was presented to members of the Chamber of Commerce through the combined efforts of Royal Kline, Wilson Dodd and Joseph Dodd. Minutes of that meeting show an intense interest among the members for the project. At other meetings of the Chamber during 1947 and 1948 the swimming pool was discussed at great length. At first it was suggested that the pool be built behind the schoolhouse, the site was changed later, however. Mr. C. F. Wagner, then president of the Purity Water Company, agreed to provide the water free. In 1948, a committee was appointed to delve into the possibilities of going ahead with the project and action was taken by the Chamber to proceed. The committee was composed of J. H. Dodd, C. C. Wagner, and Woodrow Mattern. P. E. Marshall, W. F. Conner Jr., C. F. Ewing, W. K. Dodd, S. E. Good, R. M. Baker, R. W. Fisher. On February 25 of the same year action was taken to dedicate the pool to the veterans of all wars. It is still Free today and still runs on donations. So whenever you visit the pool remember to help out and donate to the pool. It is the only pool in the state of Pennsylvania that can claim that it is a free admission pool. The McClure Veterans Memorial Swimming Pool Mini Golf Course is open everyday from 1pm - 8pm. Admission to play mini-golf is $3.00 a person. Bring your friends and enjoy some mini-golf. After playing some golf dive on into the pool and enjoy the water tree in the low end of the pool, the diving board and slide in the deep end.

- Early Industry | mcclurepa1867
MCCLURE HISTORICAL SOCIETY Early Industry Photo above shows factory building number 2 with a large group of employees in 1910. This was the Union Furniture and Manufacturing Company of McClure. At its peak of operation 80 men were employed. The virgin forest with its giant stand of conifers and hardwoods would naturally make lumbering the first industry. The Jacob Smith sawmill, which antedates the town, was located in the general area of west Specht street, where it is intersected by Helfrick Street. The Joseph Johnson Steam Stave mill was also located here. Both these mills were later owned and operated by Jacob Howell, an old Dutchman. Mr. Howell was an enterprising person who also kept bees. He had as many as 75 hives at one time. In the spring, he tapped the maple trees on the ridge to make syrup. The sawmill was operated by water power and had an up-and-down saw, as opposed to the conventional circular kind, and in appearance was like a cross cut saw set on end, The mill dam impounded a sizable amount of water on which the boys of early McClure floated rafts and fished for perch, sunfish, and eels. There was a grove of large trees adjacent to the mill and this was the place where Gypsies camped when they came to McClure. Lumbering and the Railroad – Until 1890, the virgin timber – mammoth white pines, three and four feet in diameter, yellow pines a hundred feet high – covering Shade Mountain back of McClure had been untouched by the axe of man, the inaccessibility to markets having been the cause of its sparing. When the railroad came through town, it brought the doom of the forests. In 1890, Marcy and Burtle of Shamokin started operations n which the large trees were cut and removed from Shade Mountain, south of town. They used McClure as a base and shipping point, and continued the lumbering business for the next ten years; the logs were not milled here, but were shipped as they came from the mountain to other points. To speed up production a chute was made of hewn logs. It reached from the top of Shade Mountain down the North side of the mountain and all the way to a wharf located south of West Walker Street and West of the small stream. For one year this method was used and then discontinued because practically all the logs "jumped the chute" and were damaged. One log that jumped out of the chute plunged through the cellar of the Henry Wagner home, located in the area of the present day reservoir, No one was injured and the house has since been removed, Abe Holshue said that he would eat the first log to mail the complete run. It is said that only one made the run from the top of the mountain to the wharf. It is not known whether Abe gnawed on the log like a beaver, or cooked in into a pulp and ate it like soup. For many years, the long narrow chute could easily be seen on the mountain, especially when outlined by the winter snow. Short sections of it can still be seen. At the turn of the century John E. Wagner, in 1967 was 41 years of age, built a stove mill and a sawmill on the same site where the wharf was located. In 1905, John I. Gill purchased the Wagner mill and continued removing trees from the mountain until 1915. Mr. Gill was also a coal dealer and a large coal storage shed was located in his mill yard. Others engaged in the sawmill business were: Dr. Smith, Isaac Middleswarth, George Wagner, Aaron Howel1, Jackson Baker, Amos Howell and Charles A. Wagner. None of these mills are in existence today. With all abundance of raw materials on hand, the manufacturer of furniture became a thriving industry. This industry originated soon after the turn of the century when Henry W. Knepp began manufacturing furniture. His plant, at first a stable, was located on the East side of Stuck Street a short distance north of its intersection with Specht Street, Pal Huffnaugle was general foreman, Jacob Heeter assistant, and W. A. McGlaughlin finished the furniture, which consisted of kitchen cabinets, dry sinks, cupboards, hat racks and dressers. Thomas H. Spigelmyer later became associated with Mr. Knepp. On August 24, 1907, this plant was destroyed by fire. Caskets were also manufactured for a time in McClure. During World War I the Fold Easy Manufacturing Company made thousands of cots and folding chairs. A picture, too laded to be used, contained these employees Cloyd Olt, Pal Huffnaugle, J. Kerns, Beulah Huffnaugle, Thomas Spigelmyer (Manager), and Mr. Corbit. A company to construct automobile and truck bodies was begun by A. C. Weader and Charles F. Gilbert; Herbert Weader became part of the company, and in 1924 assumed full responsibility. The truck making business did not work out and lasted only a short time, Park, his son, then look over and operated a planning mill, coal and cement business for awhile, until 1926 when he accepted the position of rural mail carrier. Herbert Weader again took over and had a hatchery and feed business on the first floor of what was known as the Playhouse. The hatchery was in the front and the feed store in the rear. He carried on this business until he lost his life in a tragic explosion in 1938.
