Urge to Quill and reflections on heredity in 1967 Citizen-Times
A mixed column includes a satire on low wattage TV ads promoting Freeble's Hair Oil with a deadpan narrator, then shifts to personal musings about family members and a local circus visit. The writer cites a niece winning a Iowa Bar Association award, a nephew’s misstep, and recalls watering elephants during childhood circus days at the Strand theater.
