January THAW Lifts Town Spirits and Reports Errors

The Progress blames a headline error on Nancy Norquest’s engagement and recalls a 1921 Polk High team that scored 415 to 19. Ralph Kahler led a Gavins Point rescue of the AWK houseboat as fishing season nears. Asa Smith visits from Pacific Junction to pick up his wife en route home.
