The page presents a range of editorial and political opinions. Except for the column directly below, these pieces do not necessarily reflect the newspaper's views or stance.
A verse from II Timothy highlights endurance and divine rescue, reflecting on witness, steadfastness, and faith amid persecution. A quote from Phillips Brooks urges earnestly pursuing one’s true calling to enrich the world through personal growth and purpose.
The piece accuses Sen Edward W Brooke of Massachusetts of tax fraud and perjury in divorce related asset concealment and urges self removal or Senate action. It contrasts with Sen Herman Talmadge over gifts from constituents and argues both disqualify them from service. It also cites Prop 13 and calls for renewed state power and reduced federal tax funding.
Washington analysis recounts how anti Panama Canal treaty groups spent well over 3 million dollars with ACU and Conservative Caucus shouldering the bulk. ACU says 1.4 million on letters ads polls and broadcasts while Conservative Caucus spent at least as much. The piece notes limited pro treaty funding and questions why opponents failed given vast White House lobbying and broad public indifference until Reagan's 1976 primaries.
Letters to the editor attack Rev. Settle over Mercer County Humane Society. Patricia Prowse of Cottageville praises the shelter, criticizes the Reverend’s view on protests and animal welfare, and notes a planned county shelter. Other letters protest bird poisoning in Grundy, thank hospital staff, and commend a Bluefield paper carrier Jeff Phillips for his service.
Martha Angle and Robert Walters discuss President Carter's choice of George McGovern and Paul Newman as U N public delegates. The piece cites McGovern's stance on Soviet behavior and the idea the United States helped trigger postwar fears. Newman defends an independent arms race view learned through his Information for group work.
Secret cabinet minutes detail Idi Amin's brutal rule in Uganda and the ways he sees plots against him. Exiles, security betrayals, ministerial feuds, and purges are described, with Amin's rage and paranoia driving deadly decisions. Additional notes cover Carter aide Strauss, HUD probes, Young's Africa trust effort, and Bell personnel corrections.
