My wife found a New York Post Home News Magazine section of the newspaper from 1949 in her father's house which appears to have been saved because of a story about an Ed Thomas who lived in East Orange and was a friend of the family. Mr. Thomas was the superintendant of Lackawana Railroad Police.
As I turned the pages I noticed the funny pages had only four cartoons that I recognized, Superman, Pogo, Mary Worth, and Nancy. Does anyone recall these others? -

Then of course there was the silly stuff...Pres. Truman reverses economic stand; British send troops to defend dock strike; Henry Julian Wadleigh tries to explain his part in the Alger Hiss trial; Soviet Seizes Moscow's Catholic Parish (try appealing that one!).
