Side Swipes and Odd Finds Across Cities
In Cincinnati Miss Matilda Krohne, 77, died last week after relief began in 1940. Welfare workers found nearly $30,000 in cash and stock. A suit will be filed in Probate Court to reclaim years of aid. No will, a lone cousin was the only known relative. In Boston Dr. Edwin Sturgis touted audio analgesia at a dental meeting, promising relief via music and noise therapy. At Quinset Point the Wasp crew kept a dented ancient punch bowl from 1898 as a trophy, then sent it to a New York jeweler to restore the dents at their expense.
