Admonitions on electricity and life echo in Mt Pleasant column
A Mt Pleasant column muses on electricity, its unseen force, and its daily impact. It praises Dr. Everett Jarvis's adoption of a boy named Mike, urging readers to consider fostering. The piece then warns against backing cars without ensuring a clear path for children, and recalls George McDaniel’s long running business column, comparing it with Joe McElhinney’s 35 years of daily notes. It ends critiquing Taft Hartley debates and labor legislation.
