Whistle and car talk fill town in Times notes
Notes recount a misprint mix up in Mites batting figures at the Times office and a noon whistle incident at the Grachtinger volunteer fire department. It also covers O Hansen family visits in a black Thunderbird, a found dollar bill and a Labor Day ad, and sheepish humor about accuracy. The piece ends with a plea for college activity notices from hometown papers.
