Fear the unseen foe that haunts progress and hope
A meditative piece contrasts fear with understanding, describing fear as a multiplier of doubt that blocks achievement and masquerades as caution or conservatism. It asserts understanding as the only master and notes fear vanishes when truth is revealed. The text references a local tree preservation effort and community support for Whitcomb heirs.
Sparks fly over politics and war fears in a cleaved era
The piece rails at German aggression and threats of explosives crossing the Atlantic while recounting figures like John M. Phillips in Queens who lost fortunes to gambling and bootleg liquor. It cites Congressman Sabath criticizing Mrs. Willebrandt and questions salaries for political speech. Admiral Fiske plans to vote for Hoover.
