June is our highest precipitation month at an average 3.59. It would be nice to expect this amount each June but it doesn’t happen this way as all of you know. For example, Ipswich has only received 1.33 thus far during June, 2022 which is not even half of 3.59. So where does the average of 3.59 come from? It comes from the 20 months of June out of 47 that has exceeded the average as it builds up. Last week I mentioned six months of June that had extreme rainfall. I will continue this week with five more: 2005: Abundant precip. spread out o...
June is Ipswich’s highest precip. month at an average of 3.59. The average of 3.59 is maintained because there has been many months of June that have had extreme amounts of rain.

The following are some of these extreme amounts: 1975: Above normal of rainfall at 5.29 from 13 days of recorded precip. The biggest amount of this moisture (3.58) occurred during the middle nights of the month all in thu...
From the Ipswich Tribune September 13, 1928 edition MASCULINE PREFERRED If ever it was deemed a handicap to have been born a girl, that can no longer be the attitude of mind of any one who sees how wide open to women are all the doors of opportunity.

When told that it meant to be born again he made it clear that he was not in favor of it. When asked his...

From the Ipswich Tribune January 10, 1929 edition READER'S COLUMN As Ipswich is becoming quite favorably know for its civic pride, as evidenced by the arch over the Trail, the swimming pool and its trees, shrubs and well kept lawns, it seems to me that if they care to maintain that reputation there is nothing they could do that would merit more praise than to take some steps to provide for the care and protection of the cemetery. As the state highway No. 45 passes it and many from a distance pass that way, I often wonder if when they see weeds...
