Old column notes two smiling POWs released at Freedom Village. The piece weaves in wartime vignettes from Beaver Dam Ohio, a WAC exchange tent tale, and a barber shop moment as a soldier’s hair is trimmed. It also cites Los Angeles CHP anti crash drive, Chicago heat, and quirky local anecdotes including a Jeep hood egg fry and a fortune teller license tale in Asheville.
