A May 1, 1947 column blends faith notes with a home garden diary. The writer recalls unity over differences, jokes about a bandaged finger, and a living garden project with neighbor Melvin Houck. It also surveys Marshall on Moscow talks, Iowa education funding, and a historical sketch of Delaware County schools in the 1870s.
