Notable centenarians and oddities from the era
Translated Jane, the centenarian German translator in Merlin, celebrates her birth centenary. A Minn man M Scurr at 103 still runs a farm and proudly sports red hair. James Crude, 92, commutes to a New York coffee shop daily, while Wittaw Enstorr, 97, has lived under every U S president since Adams and through Kentucky governors. Reports from Knox and Athens counties mention no cigarette dealers in Pion Autut and a Pesth election ban. A blood detection device for minute stains aids murder cases, and Swedish steel balls imitate ivory in weight, with suicide-oriented use noted.
