The Doghouse Debate and the Little People
In a Ster composing room, Clarence Weakley and Tommy Jobe quarrel over a doghouse project with odd details and a drooping Tudor look.

The piece honors ordinary Americans who sustain war effort through small acts, praising the resilience of “little people.”
