'The News from Lake Wobegon'

The Whippets lost a game — but another one is coming up next Sunday. Otherwise it has been quite the sleepy week. If you sit on the porch and do a lot of napping, the time just slips by. Going back generations, the Lundberg family has produced restless sleepers. During the day, they are very calm and placid folks. At night, they thrash about with a lot of yelling and sleepwalking. Betty (Mrs. Lundberg) was an Olson; she sleeps quietly while her husband twists and turns. The boys sleepwalk — even wandering out, going into people’s homes, and traipsing through vegetable gardens. They don’t take well to be awakened either. The Chamber of Commerce is getting ready for Toast and Jelly Days. The band is rehearsing and the toast booths are being set up for the festivities next weekend.
