In the Driftway
October 1, 1930 issue

The daily newspapers contained more hair-raising tales to the square inch than any drug-store thriller or six penny shocker ever written. For every romance of unrequited love, dare-devil escape high adventure, wild-cat speculation, for every story of heroism or tragedy, for every fictional happy ending, the newspapers print a true story documented with dates, ages, and addresses. A Bona fide advertisement appeared in the columns of the Freeman offering the Ashokan Reservoir for sale to the highest bidder. It is the most important part of New York's City's water supply.
