Inscriptions Printed in image on recto, BC: CG1 - CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. - Nov. 19 - WELL? - Polly Baker of \ Chattanooga seems a bit impatient as she waits for \ a stubborn leaf to make its Indian Summer swan song. \ Soon the leaf will flutter to the ground and Mrs. \ Baker can put a match to her last backyard bonfire \ of the season. And the tree? It will be, as \ William Makepeace Thackery put it, "leafless all \ the winter time and pining for the spring." \ AP WIREPHOTO hg31805tms gb 1963
