Lightbulb feats and town notes from Delphi
A Delphi column reports Charley Deardorff claiming he can light bulbs only by holding them, then giving up the talent except for practical use. Waly Cruise, Northwestern star, resides in Delphi and works for an oil firm, while Albertus Williams revisits a union derby milestone. Local youths plan annual Delphi to Pittsburg fair hikes as politics grow dull. The Wa bash rail tower and station buildings get a fresh coat for the first time since 1924. Paw-paws natural in Indiana appear near Dr Judson Shultz’s former office, with Joe Sneathen observing the trees and grounds.
