It notes postwar recovery, then shifts to safety topics, railroad accidents, and fire hazards. The page includes anecdotes on accidents, public warnings, and quirky local items.

Life In the Good Old Days Not So Good A Look Back
National Republic writer William Turner argues that strict blue laws and limited liberty marked colonial life before progress. He cites 1662 fines for drunken Indians, a 1680 water power grant, 1720 watermelon theft, late night transgressions, harsh punishment for swearing, and corporal penalties for drunkenness, showing fewer freedoms than today.
