Fragmentary verse longing for Home Town faith
The text expresses a longing to return home and find faith and hope. It mentions drugstores and sundae offerings as vague symbols, then speaks of attending church and choosing. It reads like a reflective refrain about home, town, and belief, with garbled phrasing and obscured meaning.
Minor Blaze At The Country Club
A late party at Fioria Country Club led staff to discover a fire that could have caused heavy damage. The blaze was confined to a small area around a chimney between the kitchen and pantry on the first floor, due to a short circuit not involved in the wiring. Firefighters arrived by 1:35 am and found fire burning. Quad Company No. 1 also responded. The fire damaged floor joists around the chimney caused by an overheated chimney and hot water heater during the day. No exact loss figure available.
