Modern Grandma Reflects on a Changing World in Postwar Era
Hal Boyle surveys shifts in American life after MacArthur's dismissal, contrasting political strains with a culturally transformed image of grandparents. He notes grandparents as glamorized, jet-age figures, more likely to be seen in ads and social scenes than quilting by the fireside, and jokes about their evolving roles in a modern, restless society.

Warped Judgment on Crime and Citizen Responsibility
A public opinion piece argues that crime conditions worsen as officials admit the problem yet citizens refuse to act. It contends public apathy cripples law enforcement and leads officials to compromise with criminals, risking a polluted future for children.
Strength lies in taxpaying private enterprise and growth
The piece argues government and taxpayers benefit from private business thriving, citing a 1950 independent telephone system with $70 million income, $3.48 million in dividends, $8.5 million in taxes, and $15.8 million collected as excise taxes. It stresses that workers often get the largest share, governments the next, and calls for supporting basic industry to expand and pay more taxes. It ends with reflections on religion and leadership, mentioning Madame Chiang Kai-shek and Abraham Lincoln.
