A local man showed a streetcar ticket to the motorman, the first of its kind seen in years. The iron weather vane atop the county courthouse tower remains among the few, as the church vane was removed. Winter golf courses and city playgrounds lie dormant, with detour signs guiding East Washington traffic to Butler road via the new Butler avenue. Limestone dusts the New Castle Ellwood road berms to hinder mud. Two men carried limp pheasants on East Washington Street. The East Side branch library, in the Christ Evangelistic Lutheran church basement at Beckford and East Washington, is open two days weekly for readers to borrow books. A man sewed grass on the Palmer property along East Washington Street, where most foliage was removed last spring.
