Mills County news recalls fire loss and mill lore
Malvern fire loss for the year totaled 3 dollars, a figure hometown firefighters note as high given 1935 risks. The Leader reports officers installed across county groups, mentions a Ku Klux Klan reemergence in Emerson, and recalls White Cloud and Silver Creek mills, with old mill stones moved to a lawn and repurposed as garden benches. The Fire House contract bridge event at the week’s end saw two teams, led by Arthur McCullough et al, edge into a close duel, trailing by 600 points.
