Richards Returned from Norway After War Years
Local residents Mr and Mrs N B Richards and their family, long-time Mallard natives, have returned via New York and Boston after a three and a half year stay in Christiana Norway. Their daughters Sebille and Phyllis will attend Harvard, Bradford will study there briefly. Richards may visit Norway again to check property. He once ran a Mallard several-year selling business, saved patrons, and faced health hardships including blindness in one eye and infantile paralysis in his daughter. They owned a sanitarium near Christiana, built by Doctor Fred Thaulow, with Norwegian royals visiting. The feature recounts Norway’s wartime prosperity and liberal government, then shifts to a local assessor note and a painter decorator letter criticizing county expenditures.
