In a reminiscent column the writer recalls a townwide blackout from 2 PM to evening. Candles, kerosene lamps, and a lantern manned the darkness while a lamp wick chewed by mice and a breaking gas mantle heightened the scramble. A souvenir candle from the St. Louis world fair stands as a symbol of resilience against modern conveniences.

Wide Cracks and Wit from a Kansas Editor

A Kansas editor riffs on Charlie McCarthy and ventriloquists while lampooning politics. The piece jokes about Republicans, a Nebraska emblem for 1940, and rural chores as time passes. It frames social quirks, farm life, and public figures with humor from a Bridge luncheon committee context.
