Windmills need full crates and stubborn cowboy grease
A Texas writer jokes that windmill viability hinges on complete parts in each crate and cowboys who grease towers in 10 degrees below zero winds. He recalls Delco and Rural Electrification, notes varied windmill experiments, and cites Hermanemus plans for 14,700 offshore turbines, warning of practical storage and reliability questions.

College freshman tries life as monk in Wenatchee
Chester Robson, a 19 year old Wenatchee Valley College freshman from East Wenatchee, tested the Franciscan life by begging for food, washing with melted snow, sleeping on a church pallet, walking, and reading by candlelight. He wore a brown robe and tied sash, and faced stares and a police question on his first day. Robson hoped the experiment would reveal why some have more and happiness differs with material wealth. He studied St. Francis and Western Civilization and noted differing accounts of the saint's life.
