Back in the 20’s, the News Star ran a comic strip called “Everett True”. The plot of each strip was always about Mr. True bringing punishment down on someone who had a severe lack of manners! The usual lesson involved a severe beat down! The News Star even wrote an article once stating True was needed in the local theaters due to people putting their jackets and hats on while standing up in the front row before the play was finished (blocking the view) and parents letting their kids run wild in the aisles. My, my…times haven’t changed, have they? Mr. True, where are you?!
