Roy Chautauqua notes six day event and town bonds
The Roy column reports Chautauqua events from June 16 to 20, mentions debates over school bonds, and notes a partisan drift in patriotism. It covers Judge Foster’s roof preparation, Homer Holmes plowing, a potential relocation by Jesse Beck, and a Denver trip by G Kitchell family. Memorial Day was largely observed by the American Legion and a strong Fifth Sunday SB convention at the Christian Church drew a large district audience. Pat Patrick bought Elmer Neill’s Chevrolet and reflects on changes from coal mining days.
