April 25, 1947: Diary of a Johnstown Housewife
From the diary of Mrs. Elizabeth Oldham of Moxham
Friday, April 25, 1947
I cleaned up the house down here. Then workd on the attic all afternoon. I carried stuff down in the cellar and scrubbed the back part of the attic.
Boy am I tired this evening.
Clifford come over and carried a box of books and papers down and John and Alice carried some stuff down. A chair and some other stuff.
Note for you readers - some of you might not realize that at this point - Elizabeth is 69 years old - it's no wonder she's tired today!

Some Feat With Frozen Feet - 1950
Neither snow nor sleet nor frozen feet could keep Judy Kolar, 8. from her appointment with fellow students from Washington School on the quizdown show. Judy, after trudging through the deep snow in sub-freezing weather, arrived at the studio with a pair of frozen feet. She was taken to Lee Hospital for treatment, but she refused to be taken home until after the broadcast. Patrolmen Kurtz and Boldin took Judy to her home, 206 Morgan Place, Prospect, in a cruiser after the broadcast.
