Almanac editor softens jokes about women for 1973 edition
Lewiston Maine AP The Farmer's Almanac marks 156 years of jokes about women but editor Ray Geiger says attitudes are changing. He wrote a two page article for the 1973 edition praising women's equality and noting women control 80 percent of consumer purchases. The piece follows a Maryland woman's complaint about 1972 jokes deemed insulting. The 1972-73 winter is forecast milder and an early spring is predicted.
