Home

In Roseau, Minn., Leon Plant, 65, indignantly refusing State and Federal relief, retired to keep house in a big, snug butter churn with a tight-fitting trap door (see cut), which he inherited four years ago from a former employer.

Romance

In Cleveland, on his 60th wedding anniversary, William W. Britton, 78, recalled that before his marriage: "I used to pass Sarah's house every day on the railroad. She lived one block from the tracks and I could hop off the front of the freight train, sprint that block, snatch a kiss and then catch the rear end of the train. Used to do it all the time but I had to move fast. I met Sarah at a train wreck. I crawled out from underneath a pile of tank cars and saw her when she walked down to look at the wreck."

Groom

In Three Lakes, Wis., Ezra Worden, 74, whose advertisement for a third wife got on national press association wires, pawed through 411 applications, discarded Southern women because "by the time they'd get clear up here a man might be out of the notion of marrying them," picked Mrs. Maggie Cornwall who lives 22 mi. away, passed the rest of the applications to his unmarried son Marvin, 36, and accepted the thanks of Charles Olson, chairman of the Ezra Worden Wedding Day Celebration Committee, for "all the publicity Ezra's given Three Lakes, Wis."

Babies

In Longmeadow, Mass., citizens counted up a half-year crop of 100 new babies, giving the town a sufficient increase in population to legalize another liquor store.
