Sandburg Birthday Focuses On Final Lincoln Work
Noted poet Carl Sandburg, age 60, smiles for photographers at his Lake Michigan home near Benton Harbor. He says propaganda and publicity are the rising new American literature as he works on the last section of his life of Lincoln. Milwaukee man John Michael Horan, 100, looks to two anniversaries January 23 and April 17, 1955. Born 1855, he has never missed a day of work since starting in 1855 and rose to boiler inspector, with a large family and a wife who died in 1901. He plans to keep regular rest and work. Also featured are fashion notes and Miss Palm Beach Helen Carter from Palm Beach Florida chosen from 65 contestants as society’s bathing beauty.
