Of course they had to christen the cars with Billy Baxter Ginger Ale as 
Prohibition was the law of the land.  Not that there were not bootleggers in 
the New Kensington area, long noted for an association with "The Family".
The current editor of the Valley News noted none of the girls had "foreign" 
names.  The time period did not permit, no grant, any recognition of 
foreigners.

Yes, I and the staff at the paper are enjoying the research.  I finished 
1932 today. By the way, Roosevelt won despite the fact Tarentum went for 
Hoover.
