Millie Wright and the Census of Snobs in a Town

A satirical column features Millie Wright as a snob to be mocked, noting a Papago perspective and readers’ postcards. It riffs on radio, TV and soap opera culture, with quips about family feuds, cooking, and Grandpa Hedges liking tomatoes. The piece closes with a mock prayer for forgiveness and money.
