The Amarillo Globe News Publicnie Co announces publication details under The Amarillo Daily News with offices at Sixth and Femline. Subscription rates are listed: daily and Sunday editions, with various yearly and half year prices, and carriers’ charges.
The Globe outlines a platform for Amarillo focusing on city expansion, traffic reform, downtown cleanup, and enhanced facilities. It calls for permanent water study, hospital and terminal facilities, expanded park space, cultural welfare, and updated school facilities with salary considerations.
The piece argues only about two dozen of the 2000 plus writers are truly fine and condemns modern movie plots that misrepresent court procedures. It cites Amarillo screenings of Boomtown and Miracle on 34th Street, noting witnesses praising defendants and politicians giving trial guidance as implausible.
A satirical profile of press agents who shape fame for big corporations. It recalls Harry Reichenbach as a pioneer, with tales of hotel stunts and sensational headlines. The piece cheers craft while mocking the hype around publicity and space-stealers in show business.
Sumner Welles argues the Irgun killings in Palestine undermine Zionism and urge an end to terrorism as illegal and immoral. He cites British justice as flawed and notes anti Semitism in the occupation administration while praising Jewish victims seeking freedom. He dismisses violence as counterproductive to UN efforts for a peaceful solution.
A fragment cites repeated acts of persecution by the British police in Palestine and details the Rubowitz case as evidence. It alleges a 16 year old abducted and tortured by a squad led by Major Farran on Jericho Road, with officials escaping to Syria and later returning amid publicity.
A jumble of across and down clues appears, listing numbers and partial words. The text includes symbols, abbreviations, and references to foods, places, and titles, suggesting a newspaper crossword puzzle page fragment with scattered entries and partial solutions.
The piece estimates global gold holdings at about 28 to 40 billion dollars, notes uneven distributions among nations, and argues for a return to gold exchange. It warns that barter and gifts distort trade and calls for limited U S aid, renewed production, and cautious credit rather than open-ended gifts.
A narrator describes a family figure labeled a tightwad who pays his own way and helps others despite mockery. He endures jokes and social exclusion yet stays self controlled, continues to support his kin, and is occasionally praised when in trouble, only to be forgotten again.
