A reflective piece cites 1918 echoes and Armistice phrases, warning that leaders then failed to secure a lasting peace.

The Washington Merry-Go-Round discusses Senator Reynolds of North Carolina, his roles as a nationalist legislator and head of The Vindicators Association, and a letter to a contractor about expanding circulation of The American Vindicator. It also covers editor Geoffrey Crowther and British trade unionism, noting attempts at arbitration and the U.S. approach to labor disputes during wartime.
The Armistice of November 11 1918 went into effect at 21 a.m. Paris time or 6 a.m. Eastern Standard Time. London is on daylight saving time, so a broadcast from there at 1 a.m. would be heard in this city at 7 p.m. the previous day, a six hour difference.
In a Pittsburgh rolling mill eighty two years ago a worker named Dale forged a moment of innovation. Bernard Lauth pursued a hunch that cold iron could be rolled to a bright finish, sparking the cold finished steel industry.

It mentions Lana Turner’s secret romance guarded in D C, Wheeler’s brother Ernest resignation rumors, DiMaggio hospital return, Fidler vs. Cobina Wright wedding chatter, Miriam Hopkins eloping buzz, and stage workers disputes. It notes Nabors of Noose gossip, Conde Nast’s Virginia Cowles at premieres, and various celebrity flirtations, legal notices, and industry feuds with a brisk, gossip-mill tone.
A collage of sensational chatter spans Broadway lives and political buzz. Rumors touch custody cases in Keene New Hampshire, relationships and refugees, Met opera stars, Times and Post bids, and social feuds amid an era of immigration scrutiny.

Local brief notes recount a cat from Mrs. E. S. Barnes of Fast Green Street wandering away April 1, 1930 to her father in law’s home near Asheboro and returning days later to Mrs. Barnes in town. Armistice Day events fill Main Street with a 5:30 a.m. parade and a 4 p.m. VFW procession.
In Washington a smaller elite tests power by how many government posts one person holds. President Truman, Henry Wallace, Jesse H. Jones and others wear multiple titles and lead a web of interlocking agencies. Jones holds 17 jobs across the Federal Loan Agency and related boards.
