Mary Worth. Allen Saunders and Ken Ernst, 1966.

This kindly, silver-haired widow dispensed advice both welcome and resented to a seemingly endless progression of troubled relatives, neighbors, and strangers—and she was always correct.  Mrs. Worth’s moral compass never wavered, even through the tumult of the 1960s, providing a reassuring voice for those out of tune with the time’s social changes.
