Editors note Emporia keeps a healthy business district despite a thriving new mall and discount centers on the town’s edge. Prosperity and a merchants association with parking, beautification, promotions, street events, and decorations draw shoppers to both old and new stores.
A reader letter critiques Chanute city leadership over declining streets and rising utilities. The writer argues officials hide failures, warns of severe winter impact, and suggests common people bear unfair costs while mayor and city manager salaries adjust. The piece closes with a somber note on Chanute's future and calls for accountability.
The notice lists 85th year issues and rates for subscriptions in and outside trade territory, Chanute post boxholders, and carrier delivery. It specifies UPI news rights, tax details, and monthly carrier charges with varying terms.
An editorial letter rails at Chanute decline and youth migration while a second piece extols ECKANKAR and Soul Travel via Darwin Gross. The column improvises from local discontent to spiritual musings and a quirky postscript about seed gifts and a lost forwarding address.
Washington notes legalized gambling often aids organized crime more than it suppresses it. Report by Rick Sokolow from New York explains how off track betting parlors and state legalization attract mob bosses who now operate with polished, corporate-style influence and political slush funds.
The article reports that legalized wagering boosts illegal gambling and empowers crime figures in New York. It contrasts a sterile state parlor with a cozy neighborhood bookie joint where Frankie Numbers brokered bets, illustrating risks, addiction, and the social reach of bookmaking. It also notes a University of Michigan study linking legal betting to higher illegal gambling and White House flu shot details.
Letter argues for nine hour workdays and weekend rest for White House staff to curb elitism and restore connection with the public. It condemns excessive secrecy and long hours, urges officials to ride buses, curb parking perks, and adopt civil servant humility to reduce frustration and restore accountability.
