Ancient Rome Seen Through Frederick County Eyes
A letter from Leon M. Pastabrook of Frederick recounts Italy and Rome with observations on cigars tobacco prices and native Toscano tobacco, then describes a juvenile Red Cross parade in Rome with thousands of children, bands, and red cross uniforms. The writer notes the crowd’s joy and reflects on Italian civic ideals and the World Red Cross appeal.
