...thankful here in this South Georgia county that we have had a few light showers of rain in the last several days. It's the first rain we have had since about the 15th of August, 1931. So much dust and such heavy smoke and dense fogs each morning, staying so gloomy all day, and so unpleasant to breathe natural, especially at night. Forest fires have raged continually in all sections of the country, in dry swamps destroying millions of lovely long leaf pines. The Forest Rangers had water hauled from deep wells in cities, trying to stop some...
...account of the rain on the days preceding the West Point game, the Band did not get a chance to practice spelling out "Army". so that the formation had to be learned on the top of the Hudson River Boat on the way to West Point, one letter at a time due to the limited space.

Although critics might liken his routine to year-round-swimming or marathon tree-sitting, Dr. Brock is not publicity-hungry. He is smart enough to know that his Specialty Optical Co. does not suffer from his own conspicuousness (he was recently received by President Hoover...
...snow, wind, and rain of Virginia and the doctors at Mount Vernon, in their cruel wisdom, had done well by George Washington." With this sentence Mr. Fay closes his book on the first President of the United States. It is his belief that, had Washington lived another year, he would have found himself in a very tragic political conflict with Jefferson, and he would have inevitably seen those principles inculcated in him by birth and by breeding swept boldly aside to make way for certain more popular democratic doctrines. George Washington was a landed Virginia baron whose life was guided...
