Montanans recall war days and modern quirks
A Montana newspaper essay blends wartime reminiscence with satirical notes on postwar life. It cites misprints causing reader calls, describes efforts to visit veterans groups, and contrasts past shortages with present spending on education and national guard enlistment. It also recalls A-bomb news, parking humor, and a Notre Dame tale. The piece weighs economic stats, with per capita spending on Aquor tobacco education and Jussin’s share.
