(Mary) Hammang, secretary in the office of the University of Wisconsin buildings and grounds, posing with an umbrella that was blown by high winds into a high voltage line, short-circuiting the power and causing a dim-out over Madison's west and south sides. The umbrella belonged to Betty Solum of Baraboo, a freshman in home economics at the university. |
