Around the town bits mix humor and local chatter
A collage of small town vignettes from a Gazette page. A San Francisco trader misreads Iowa Cedar Rapids, a laminated mat reads Miss Annonimous, helpful husbands spill coffee while debating the Iowa Michigan game, Chief of Detectives Earl Stanley bets on a Cuban cigar, a family convention tale, record notes on Glenn Miller and peers, a boyish quip about a fishing trip, a principal assigns pupil duties, a kindergarten quiz about stories, baby Calder Davis born nearby, and an Indiana coach jokes about football coverage.
