A peculiar weekly page from Hall-Heileman in Forest Park pokes at current events and culture. It riffs on education, politics, fashion, and society with satirical jabs at universities, leaders, beauty contests, and books.
Local column ponders the tall blond aviator nickname Slim Lindbergh and a possible visit, noting confusion with another local “Blim” and separating rumor from fact. The piece acknowledges no town funds or direct aid to the flight and stresses communal pride without claiming credit.
A vivid reminiscence lauds Slim Lindbergh’s crossing from New York to Paris. It recalls the triumphant wartime imagery, the perilous sea voyage, and the public adulation as he nears Plymouth and Paris. The piece reflects on the awe and the enduring memory of his five day crossing and the perilous hours at sea.
Readers express mixed feelings over Ruth Rnyder’s diary and Lindbergh coverage while recalling his dramatic safe arrival. The community plans a small Forest Park Lil Ue event in his honor as locals remain hopeful and proud of the daring aviator.
