Apparently it doesn't take much to graduate from LA City College. :aerb:

strange thing to write in a newspaper about something so unspectacular like a marriage and moving to LA of two ordinary citizens, not celebrities or such.

I've been wondering about that before, and even more so when we had newsclips like about a children's-birthday-party.

Well, it's The Daily Oklahoman in 1950's. I reckon even tumbleweed rolling through the town was news in those days.

something so unspectacular...

They have space to fill, I guess...

unbelievable.
If these papers recorded every single visit of parents, children's birthdays, weddings, births, three-week-holiday absenteism and flea bite of every citizen, they must have been volumes the size of a phone-book each day.

Facebook wasn't invented yet so the The Daily Oklahoman had to fill in th blanks :D

Interesting how local papers wrote about boring events back then. At least they did'nt post photos of people's dinners like people do on Facebook. :D
