Wood barrel makers fear postwar shifts and protests
A rambling letter laments postwar policies harming wood barrel makers in Georgia and other regions, urging support for traditional wood barrels over metal drums. It also notes a North Carolina contest to test walking 25 miles by man or horse and criticizes Congress and party politics. The piece concludes with social notes from Howland Owl and the America Belles Club, including event details from February 14, 1959.
