Fragments recount Glenn Punk from Flattsbury and sister-in-law Mrs Boyd Berdo visiting a Lexington farm. A strong wind tore off a barn roof like a mini tornado.

Motion Picture Aid to Army Camps Highlighted by Rotary Talk
Irvin E. Deer of the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America told Rotary members that six hundred thousand men in uniform see free motion pictures nightly at training camps and abroad. He noted industry shortages in military personnel, especially technicians, and outlined six information types in films including Allied life and enemy ration depictions, with Wake Island and Desert Victory as examples. He also cited home-front help and potential use in schools and churches after the war, plus reduced training time via slow-motion footage. James A. Casey and Ralph W. Youns attended as guests.
