Above, time to get ready for barbering the lawn … Below, the Korean community voices strong criticism of Durham W. Stevens, an American adviser to Japan, who was assassinated in San Francisco. Feelings against Stevens are so strong among local Koreans that he might have faced a similar attack here, The Times says …
The city is quickly building a stockade to house homeless men … Advocates who want to keep flies out of schools run into objections from the Board of Education, which notes that the problem is not so bad unless the schools are next to a stable or a corral … And Ben, the seal from Westlake Park, is having trouble fitting in with his fellow creatures on Santa Catalina Island.
Quote of the Day: “Stevens must be shot and killed. He is not only an enemy to my poor country; he’s an enemy to the civilized world. I am a Christian boy. My religion commands me not to kill. My pastor teaches me the lessons of forbearance. Yet I do not believe God would forbid me to kill this wretched scoundrel.” –P. Cynn, Korean student at USC, on the shooting of Durham W. Stevens by a Korean youth.

I grew up cutting the lawn with a push mower like the one pictured. I complained to my dad that the blades were dull and we should get a power mower. He took the mower to Sears that was on Culver Blvd – they had a special machine that sharpened the blades. Problem solved…
While I was in USMC boot camp I got a letter from my stepmother. She wrote that my dad was shocked how hard it was to cut the grass with the push mower and he bought a Honda gas that was self propelled. I had good laugh that cost me a bunch of push ups.
