Twenty-five Years Ago
Twenty-five Years Ago
Twenty-five Years Ago Winter clamped a crippling grip on the nation from coast-to-coast, with record snows and freezes in Colorado, Illinois, New York. People digging out. Shoveling. Niagara river shoked with ice. Destroying riverbank homes in the process. Dust storms scourged northwest Texas and Oklahoma. View of farm house and barn during storm. People in the news included J. P. Morgan, testifying before a senate committee; evangelist Aimee Semple McPherson leading a parade of her four square gospel followers; Mr. And Mrs. Charles A. Lindbergh exiting cargo ship with son. Rumors of another kidnapping are threatened, as the execution date of Bruno Hauptman draws near. An improbable invention tested in Kansas City, a sort of wind-tunnel atop a car, was a remote forerunner of currently proposed convertiplanes.
