Letter: Agrees with Mary Knight

George Kolbenschlag writes:
I agree with Mary Knight. I sat in the parking lot at Walmart for a few minutes the other day and counted masks. Of the 30-some people I saw entering and leaving, four were wearing masks. It makes no sense to me. If people don't want to self-protect that's up the them, but I will never understand why they don't want to protect those around them. Please wear a mask, if not for yourself, then for those of us with whom you are in contact. --George

June 10, 1980 Around Adair with Ed Waggener

The article below first appeared in the June 10, 1980, issue of the Adair County News. Topics included the high price of gas, Carson Wheeler's and Terry Shively's propane powered pickup trucks, a prank played on unsupecting station attendants, and a honeysuckle cake baked by a graduate of Ellen's House School for Little People. --Pen

By Ed Waggener

Windwagon Smith, where are you, now that we need you? The $1.35-cent-a-gallon gas situation has gotten out of hand. It's gotten to where you can't get to where you're going without an awful lot of planning, and then, quite often, you have to say "I didn't want to go, anyway."

Windwagon Smith was a character in one of our books at Columbia Grade School. He was an inventor who planned to build prairie schooners powered by the wind, using sails like the ones used on Yankee Clippers

I think he had planned to set up a freight line from St. Joe, Missouri, to Fort Smith, Arkansas. Or maybe it was to somewhere else. I don't recall exactly.

1 don't remember how the story of the trial run of his invention went, but I do know, today, that the plan never got franchised and that there are no Windwagon Depots in this town.

It mey be that is for the best. It's hard to envision a wind wagon pulling Jamestown Hill.
