Slugger at work here in the wartime pages
A sensational local report recalls a 15 year old girl Roberta Jones who was slugged on the head and nearly assaulted near her home on North Seventh street as she walked with a friend. She recovered consciousness after the attacker fled and police searched the neighborhood without success. The incident, described with emphasis on the assailant’s dark complexion and average build, leaves her nervous but resting well. A separate note mentions barley feeding trials in hog nutrition and a WWII era aviation map moment involving Lt Poindexter and the Prince of Wales.
