Public aviation plots and education drive urged in de Ouincy
A page of the de Ouincy Whig advocates securing a public aviation landing field, backing a Build Now program to erect 200 dwellings, planning a modern high school, and a new early morning Owl car service. It also urges constructing a road to Taylor Missouri and keeping river terminals in mind for a new barge line. The speech notes Senate passage of Kenyon’s Americanization bill funding 6.5 million dollars to educate illiterates and aliens, framing it as a core anti Bolshevik measure and arguing education defeats Bolshevism and IWW ideas. The piece critiques advertising’s power and rhetoric, contrasting vivid ad copy with dull editorial writing, and laments the state of modern magazines and marketing.
