Mrs J Coy of Hereford sent a message yesterday offering to sew Tack a homemade girdle to ease his back. She expressed gratitude with multiple thanks and praise for his efforts.
In Tack's office at The News-Globe a foot measuring contest drew a crowd of over a hundred with four contestants. Mrs. Denie Cropp of West Eleventh won, her left foot 11 inches long and about 4 and 3/8 inches wide aided by a bunion. Florence Holland, of North Grant, measured 11 1/8 inches with 4 1/8 inches breadth.
Mrs. Everett Giles reports Virgil Castle resembles Tack, noting earlier encounters with lookalikes from Midland caused surprise and sleepless nights. She decries such supposed resemblances as barbaric, while praising Mrs. Ted Neely whose Queen Elizabeth likeness she finds striking and perhaps more attractive.
