The Reflector recounts a humorous anecdote about a student claiming a sneeze from the Statue of Liberty, prompting disbelief until a loud sneeze confirms the tale. The piece switches to a brief note on Pearl Harbor era business.
A U S citizen phoned the FBI to claim spies ran underground offices in central Manhattan. Agents found several people sewing scarlet rising suns on incomplete lap flags for a War Department war bond show but left without arrests after interviewing the business head.
The article extols Annin & Co. maker Cameron Beard and their flags used in war films and at national ceremonies, citing historic productions and a nylon flag for FDR. It shifts to social advice about dating, warning against groups of dateless girls, defending discretion, loyalty, and avoiding gossip to protect reputations.
A playful, speculative note questions common beliefs about school, language, weather, and daily life. It imagines a world where typical facts and roles differ, inviting reflection on norms and expectations in education, agriculture, and community life.
A Midwestern senator receives a farmer note countering union complaints about rising food costs. The farmer states that for one fat hog, a carpenter can be hired for two days, illustrating skewed price burdens and labor value contrasts.
A historical ad-like passage notes that one fat lamb plus $3 buys a plasterer for six hours, eggs from 720 hens plus $3.60 hire a painter for eight hours, and a 14 month old steer at 25 cents a pound yields ten pieces of 1x12 inch board ten feet long, second quality.
A dating advice column explores why a well dressed polite woman struggles to attract romance. It asks if keeping a steady double date partner affects dating success and explains social dynamics around couple sharing.
