Ottawa residents on Pinky Lee show and local notices
Yesterday Mrs. Robert Engles and daughter Renee appeared on the Pinky Lee TV show from Hollywood while visiting there. Mrs. J. F. Heckman reports her sister Mrs. J. B. McClellan is now at the former S. A. hospital with other refugees from the Topeka Methodist home fire. Residents miss easy access to shops as the new Osage county lake nears completion and motor boats will be restricted to fishing with engines under ten horsepower. A proposal for a navy cannon at City Park drew opposition as war equipment in a public space. The Ottawa National Guard’s Headquarters battery, 127th Field Artillery, returns from Camp McCoy, and Lamar Phillips notes a Salida tavern sign about mining deal thresholds.
