A humorous local note explains how Mrs. Hanson of New Lenox Road guards her cherry tree with a cheesecloth tent to keep robins from eating the fruit. The piece shifts to a World War II diary excerpt describing a tense convoy encounter with Red Army soldiers, a barrel of bottles revealed under tablecloths, and a lighthearted view of Russian soldiers and music.
