Easter Sunday in Town Breaks Attendance Records
Yesterday was a beautiful Easter Sunday with church attendance shattering records in the old home town. Sailors and soldiers filled pews, rationing and war production did not hinder Easter bonnets, and even a gardenia cost soared as an army officer bought a $25 orchid at a flower shop. The canning factory expanded, peas and beets contracted, and Italian prisoners were discussed to aid plants. School salaries rose 14 percent, and New York Governor Tom Dewey dominated politics as Willkie withdrew from the race.

April 10 1944 election notes and local community items
Ralph Achning reelected in the first ward by a large plurality while Dick Stevens benefited from a write in push for I F Eberhart after last month’s primary. In North Lawrence Sixth Ward J H Hill narrowly led Roy Bushey by a single vote in a hush hush write in race, the result altered by ballot initials mix up. About 50 horsemen leased a 60 acre tract west of town from Champ Jess Willard’s former property for a riding club. Officials plan an $8 000 dike from Kaw bridge to the U P fill to avoid sandbagging during floods. Dogs disrupt gardens as town contends with strays. Selective service will send 144 men to Leavenworth for physicals, the largest group yet, amid unclear rules on delaying induction for men over 26. Obituaries note the death of Fred J Harris the Rollerdrome operator. Lt Col Mark Alexander received the British Distinguished Service Order direct from King George. Lt Eddie Stout has drawn praise for talks before Rotary and Legion. Major Lathrop Read, undersheriff, travels to a new camp station, and Lt Albert Learned, once a carrier, now a P 38 pilot, downed his first German plane. The writer closes with a personal note inviting replies.
