Local notes survey town life and wartime talk
In a patchwork of items, the piece reports births and moves, road repairs, medical and legal notes, travel to Crete and Long Island, a fire scare, a Monon culvert failure, a jail sentence tied to a murder charge, and community programs on Y M C A, the six six plan, and war news. Victor at Waco Texas faces discharge after earlier service, while civic leaders discuss local schooling needs.
