Zanesville divorce plea and a vanished convention tale
A 17 year old Zanesville girl sought a divorce from her 74 year old husband over lack of support. The Point Pleasant State Theater opened with Sundown drawing capacity crowds and manager Filson praised the start. A violent East St. Louis race riot left about 100 Negro deaths. Athens City Council approved a 1967 tax levy of 42339.37. The article then analyzes Article V and the feasibility of a constitutional convention, concluding the movement is tabled and unlikely to gain momentum unless two more states adopt timely resolutions.
