The letter ends with a jab at politicians and a nod to a newspaper clipping.

Debt talk and figures echo through press and politics
The letter from Uncle Cal and remarks from Gary of Georgia discuss national debt projections for 1940, claiming $0.3 billion annual interest and $17,700 per minute.

Also included is the Montpelier bridge results from April 30 and May 4, listing pairs and entrants, plus a Brownton reader calling for accountability of the welfare state and heritage.
