March 29, 1954, Appleton Post-Crescent
The villages the students are building remind me of those figure sets sold on the backs of my comic books from boyhood. If it wasn't soldiers in battle, it was cowboys and Indians. Those came with teepees and corrals. There was also a Revolutionary War set and one featuring Roman Legions, if memory serves me. I never succumbed to those mail offers- it was enough to find bags of green Army men in the dime store for my antics, and likely, they were cheaper that way. But once G.I. Joe came to the forefront, those little green Army men just didn't cut it anymore for me.
