...towns as small as Susquehanna, Pa. (pop. 3,203) have a daily paper. No U. S. small town has a daily paper more militantly enterprising than the six-page, 48-year-old Susquehanna Evening Transcript. Last week the Transcript's 280-lb. Editor Ulysses Simpson Grant Baker successfully passed a major milestone in his three-year fight with the Canawacta Water Supply...

...last year's trials throughout the South, pointers won so regularly that the old pointer v. setter argument seemed academic long before Edward R. Coleman's pointer Susquehanna Tom won the Grand National. In minor meets this winter, setters have won almost as many firsts as pointers but pointers have won the more important prizes.
