Armadillo harms Gladiola bed and readers seek corrections
Mrs. George Bains reports an armored armadillo damaged a Gladiola bed after a nighttime encounter with the family dog near Allen. Meanwhile readers demand corrections for a misspelled name Bob Sammons rather than Simons in an auctioneers story. Memorial Day notices honor deceased loved ones across the county as home clubs improve cemetery appearances. Towns like Ada and Fittstown respond to tornado alerts with calm, orderly sheltering, though panic in Ada drew criticism for car and pedestrian recklessness.
