Uye nhasi nukes, izvo mune dzimwe nguva Times 7 times ane simba kudarika akadonhedzwa munguva yeWWII, ita kuti mabhomba ekare aite sematoyi evana.

Kuburikidza nemamaneja ayo emidziyo, Philadelphia Pension Board iri kuisa madhora emutero ePhiladelphia muzvombo zvenyukireya, ichisimudzira indasitiri yakavakirwa pakuita pundutso kubva murufu uye inoisa vanhu vese panjodzi.

Kwete chete kudyara kwePhiladelphia muzvombo zvenyukireya kunotyisidzira kuchengetedzeka kwedu, asi chinhu ndechekuti, ivo havana kana pfungwa yakanaka yehupfumi. Zvidzidzo zvinoratidza kuti kuisa mari muhutano, dzidzo, uye simba rakachena gadzira mamwe mabasa - muzviitiko zvakawanda, mabasa anobhadhara zviri nani - pane kushandisa mari yemauto.
