Polking Around A Night of Vandalism And Wedding Paradox
A party call to a police station recounts a vandalism claim where the caller avoids naming suspects. A bride driving her father’s car collides with a steer, totaling the vehicle and causing $600 damage, yet the wedding proceeds with the groom as owner of the steer. The column touches on Washington gossip about Senator Curtis and the Ray-Hays publicity, plus a note on the U S Postal Service and a Jefferson quote about governance. It closes with a Lilac plant identifications discussion from Crete and Columbus residents contesting plant names.
