Labor Day Origins and a Pair of Clever Fishing Tales
A brief historical note traces Labor Day to 1882 with McGuire proposing a September first Monday, adopted by New York unions and later nationalized by Congress in 1894. The column then relays two quirky anecdotes: a Lost Island Lake angler loses then finds a cane pole with a sheephead, and a housewife’s threats to her noisy children end with a pop of humor as the screen door opens.
