Week in Washington Aunt Ngatha February 20 1971
Dear Auntie recalls a volatile February with storms in the West, a near fifty degree spell, and local notes. Local women displaced by Advance-Ross seek job training aid. A grocer may open a bakery, YMCA hosts a March 3 gathering for newcomers, and the Blum family marks a 65th wedding anniversary on March 1. Planned Parenthood hosts study meetings on family living. Kids matinee at the theatre features Snow White. Basketball and wrestling seasons close, with state tournament looming and three area contenders. Weather shifts back toward chilly conditions.
