    100 Years Ago: Man fined $5 after improper garbage disposal results in chicken burning its feet – Greeley Tribune

    100 Years Ago, for the third week of June 1922, from the pages of the Greeley Tribune-Republican newspaper:


    The Greeley School Board voted to re-instate the summer school program after they had canceled it earlier. They stopped the summer school this year so more young people would be available to work the beet fields. However, they were told the summer school reduced retardation of young people. It will open July 24.

    In Florida, an Air Cadet was lost in The Evergreens and was starving. He survived by eating all of the grasshoppers he could catch.

    A Greeley man was fined $5 in city court this week for throwing garbage into an ash pit. The ash pits are there for the burning of trash, not garbage. Because of the garbage in the pit, a nearby farmer's chicken jumped into the pit to eat the garbage. The owner brought the chicken to court so the judge could see its burned feet.

    It could have been a motion picture thriller, but it ended nicely. In Eaton, a 3-year-old girl got her hand trapped between two rails of a railroad track, and the train was coming. A passerby rescued the girl, but her hand was badly cut. Her mother picked her up and started running to a nearby hospital. A man stopped the mother, took the girl and started running with her, chased by the mother. Others saw what was happening and began chasing the man they thought was a kidnapper. However, he delivered the baby to the hospital and she's all right now.

    The Johnstown Light Company Office has become the most popular place in town. That's because the offices are open to the public from noon to 1 p.m. and 7:30-10 p.m. every day, so they can be entertained by concerts on the radio.

    Everybody's wearing them: infants, young maids, old maids, matrons. Of the 100 women who walked past the First National Bank on Thursday afternoon, 69 of them were wearing silk hose. Owners of women's fashion stores are very happy about the increased sales of silk stockings.

    It's been very hot this week in Greeley, with temperature in the 100s. One resident told the newspaper their thermometer reached 107.








    This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity (futility) of their mind, having the understanding darkened...
    (Ephesians 4:17-18)

    Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly...
    (Psalm 1)
