Special Session Called December 16
Reports from the statehouse discuss a possible December 16 special session to address reform at Iowa mental hospitals and the flexible income tax proposal. Governor Blue riffs on a sliding surfeit based rate, while Rep Avery opposes a session, suggesting 100 percent income tax in 1948 to fund bonus bonds and avoid property taxes. Grapevine notes the statepsychiatrist focuses on qualifications over party, angering the new personnel office.

Blanket sizing guidance and herb drying tips from a vintage guide
The article notes blankets should fully cover the bed with enough length to tuck under the foot and around the sleeper, recommending at least 72 by 84 inches for doubles and 63 by 4 inches for singles. It also covers raw onions containing water and vitamins, stating cooking or water disposal reduces vitamin value, while raw onions and shallots provide B and C vitamins and carotenoids. Drying herbs requires rapid, light-free drying for tender leaves to preserve color and flavor, with sun-drying suitable only for less succulent leaves like sage and rosemary.
Young workers under eighteen face long hours
Though the 40 hour week is real for many adults, most workers under 18 still endure 48 or more hours weekly. Many young workers toil in small local industries without federal wage and hour protections, and union gains through collective bargaining often do not apply to them.
