Panama Canal anniversary editions reach towns
A number of people received special editions of a newspaper commemorating the Panama Canal anniversary. The public library, sent by George Louden, was seen by Joan Templeton Jr visiting Erie, who filmed a landing of a two masted sixty foot ship from Poland with an auxiliary engine. About 150 people greeted the visitors and the ship set out from the park of Gdynia with a crew of around ten. Hunting license tags next year will be large and red like Mandator’s flag to deter shooters, with white figures on red backgrounds. The piece notes guns and hunting dangers, urging caution as a school detail continues on page two.
