Here's a familiar sight to those of you who read the Journal back in the late 60s and 70s. It's a typical Page Three layout, with its unusual mixture of local, national and international news. 

This page, from the January 27, 1973 edition, has some particularly interesting bits. 

There's a photographic progress report of Lorain City Hall; an artist's rendering of what American Billionaire Howard Hughes was believed to look like at that time; "The World Over" column, with some Hollywood news, including Merv Griffin's impending divorce; a preview of Lorain's Peace Celebration in honor of the end of direct U. S. involvement in the Vietnam War; and perhaps most interesting, the story of how a former Vermilion man and his family met President Lyndon B. Johnson when they were forced to land on the private airstrip at his ranch due to inclement weather.
