Modest Beginnings - The municipal and industrial affairs of the "Industrial Village of Champ" are administered from this frame building which was a farm house recently. The 12 voters of the Village of Champ near St. Louis seldom disagree and are now embarked on a plan to make Champ, Mo. a haven for industry and amateur athletics. The village is the U.S. candidate for the 1971 Pan American games.
Marking fourth anniversary of the Village of Champ and is own thirty-ninth birthday, Bill Bangert, promoter of the community's proposed industrial park, cuts a cake on a new board of director's table he presented to William J. Fineup, president of the R. C. Can Company. Looking on is Carl G. Stife Sr., whose real estate firm is handling the development.
