Karl Kae Knecht Cartoon

Description:	A heat wave hits Evansville. A group of people sit in an underground bomb shelter. A man with a thermometer says it is always 10 degrees hotter on the street than on the roof of a building where the official thermometer is. Think cool to keep cool--a boy thinks of an ice cube. A man soaks in the bathtub. A woman golfer is hot and sweaty, but says she would be hotter at home ironing clothes. A newspaper shows higher temperatures in several cities around the country. A man takes care of a horse. Image Access WideTEK 25 You can be glad that you are not spending hours in a bomb-proof shelter. No Smoking. I know Id be hotter at home over an ironing board.
