Daily News for Sunday, June 26, 2022
Phillip Coffey - Take Up Mathematics Take Up Mathematics - By Phillip Coffey (Writing is fun, let the mind wander) All the 'what ifs', 'buts', 'however(s)' suddenly with a whim tossed into the seas and oceans. While off in the distance to the north and south the glaciers accelerate their rate of melting. Climb high up into the mountains, maintaining the unnatural balance of deforestation and construction. No more flat fields in the "Breadbasket of the world"-Midwest of U.S.A., all covered with water. Roll up your denim sleeves, leave the thickets-purchase a harpoon-take up fishing for the white whale Of indifference, call up Captain Ahab, ask him for directions on how to skin and cook up all this blubber. No more thickening gravy formed by a tablespoon of flour, mixed with milk, maybe salt and bacon drippings. Sift through all those conjunctions, prepositions-shelf them for a while then to the moon-take up mathematics. 2022-06-26 21:43:17 | Comments | Printable version

Mr. O.E. Huddle had just been elected as superintendent of the Columbia city schools; Dr. Mercer announced the schedule for typhoid fever inoculations; and Ben Green, manager of Lerman's, and Tom Brown, owner & pharmacist of Brown's Drug Store, headed up a drive to get a Chamber of Commerce "or some similar body" established in Columbia. Meanwhile, on and near the square, no fewer than six Columbia grocery stores advertised in the June 30 edition of the Adair County News, to-wit: Article continues... click title or click here to read whole article. 2022-06-26 12:32:40 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Jim: History
