Smethport Editorial Reflects on Music in Surgery and Local Civic Life
The piece recalls early Kane hospital trials of phonograph music in surgery crediting Dr. Burdick of Kane, then shifts to local boasts of Smethport progress. It discusses Juanita Miller and gypsy themes with social commentary, praises the Canopus Club for civic revival, and ends with political notes on Pepper and Kerr in Pennsylvania elections.
