News YESTERYEARS FOR MONDAY, APRIL 20, 2009
79 Years Ago April 20, 1930 Those perfect in spelling this week are, seventh grade — Tommie Robertson and Dorothy Mills. In arithmetic, seventh grade — Oneida Veazey, Dorothy Mills and Gracie Ewton. JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Today’s Pullman berth is on its way out. Tomorrow — The women will have all the hip and arm room they need for wriggling into girdles and the men will be able to make with the pants without doing a neck-stand. This is because the railroads have ordered more new passenger equipment — $500,000,000 worth — and all sleeping cars will have bedrooms or roomettes. 44 Years Ago April 20, 1965 The City Council last night passed an ordinance raising the prices of grave space at Graceland Cemetery. The new price for a grave space will be $100. Formerly, it was $50. From now on, you are officially prohibited from wandering away from the grocery store with a shopping cart. The shopping carts stay at the store. The ordinance passed provides for a $50 fine for anybody convicted of taking a shopping basket away from a supermarket. |
