Reprint of Congressman Wearin’s maiden speech from the March 22 Congressional Record is contrasted with local commentary. The column, quoting editorials and town happenings, blends political snatches with reports on student eggs thrown, sidewalk cleanliness, and Malvern’s push to lower electric rates as communities react to civic life.
Loyal Malvernians cherish the iron water tower seen daily for 25 years. Critics debate its color scheme while residents recall past color posters from the classes of the 1920s. The piece likens the tower to European cathedrals and extols its cleansing function over religious symbolism.
