In 1930s Rittman the editor J B Hickinspr readied poetry for The Rittman Press. An ear infection sidelined him yet he wrote a full column about illness. He recounts a doctor’s remark claiming a healing in the block and his ensuing verse.
The clipping surveys a bustling period in Rittman with Marginal items: local theater at the Opera House and a Cartoon feature, stores offering bargains on coffee milk and bread, barber shop price shifts, a flu and grippe scare, a recent fire in Doylestown, and social events. It notes civic topics from a water works vote in Creston to community fund drives, local politics, and notable residents like Miss Ida Brenneman and Miss Minnie Lendy. The piece also recalls 25 years ago anecdotes, postal and rail notes, and a parade of names tied to local business and family ties, illustrating a vivid snapshot of small-town life.
Marine Private Glenn R. Hobbs, son of Mrs. Estes Booth of Doyles town, completed recruit training at Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island South Carolina. Indoctrination covered military law discipline and physical conditioning with three weeks on rifle range firing the M 14 rifle and infantry weapons instruction.
