A bill to rewrite Iowa juvenile code would end handling aid discrimination cases in juvenile court and create a new Families in Need of Assistance category. The measure aims to formally acknowledge truants runaways and incorrigibles as recipients of state aid under the new framework.
The editorial urges Iowa to transfer noncriminal youth cases from juvenile courts to social services, citing evidence of reduced detention and the need for treatment by caseworkers and psychologists. It contrasts Rep Pelton’s court‑centric view with Higgins and Lipsky who push for specialized intervention outside the courtroom.
The Grant Wood area education agency again reviews life insurance offers after tabling a single proposal. Board fears a conflict of interest due to a member’s ties to the bidding firm as the field swells to about 40 proposals. Some wonder how thoroughly the initial search was conducted.
A column reflects on Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger, warning that abuses of executive power abroad echo at home. It notes the Cambodia bombings, Watergate cover up, Kent State, and CIA surveillance of Micronesians, stressing limits on authority and accountability.
A reader defends the Cedar Rapids zoo noting early morning care by a dedicated keeper and daily cage cleaning. They argue food sufficiency is shown by animal lifespans, acknowledge occasional harassment, and suggest relocation would be difficult for animals that have spent their lives here.
An editorial quotes The Humanist January issue, published by the American Humanist Society, to illustrate bias and faulty thinking. The piece argues the organization holds atheistic agnostic views and applies them to current events.
The text argues that many competent biologists reject Darwinism as untenable, citing figures like Dr. Pierre Grasse and the Creation Research Society. It contends that evolution is not scientifically verifiable, links creation to thermodynamics and probability, and criticizes teaching evolution in schools. It also critiques Transcendental Meditation and ends with reflections on Richard Nixon’s return to public life.
The piece discusses a grammar dispute between British and American usage over "help but" with examples from readers. It notes that British grammarians prefer "help trusting" while American usage often accepts "help but trust" though caution is raised about negative implications.
