In a pointed editorial stance, the piece argues against expanding government by annexing county into city, citing Erie’s example and praising Corry’s small, transparent governance. It contends larger government breeds complexity and inefficiency, urging Mayor Louis Tullio to resist extending Erie’s reach to Corry.
The essay notes a revival of interest in Americana, antiques and homely items from Barlow knives to outhouses, with Oscar Nielsen of Picidilli Hill observing younger couples restoring old clocks and furnishing homes in antique styles. It warns some relics should stay buried while praising enduring virtues and simple pleasures of American life.
Spurred by banking lobbyists, Congress faces a closed Senate session on S-3652, a tax bill drafted for banks by the American Bankers Association. A confidential staff memo says the measure could slash state tax revenues by up to a few billion annually while shielding banks from equal tax treatment. Separate notes describe McGovern’s VP search, with Humphrey and Kennedy declining and Eagleton offering private views on Larry O'Brien as a possible choice while DNC divisions loom.
A vivid account set in Jackson links the Sally Reynolds School to racial segregation and the white school, detailing conversations with Black mothers about transfer, fear of white schools, and lingering echoes of the Montgomery bus boycott. The piece contrasts black pride and the demand for equal access with white opposition and social tension.
A fragmented editorial voice reflects on cost of government, racial attitudes, and tax burdens. It quotes Indiana novelist George Ade and a black woman’s perspective on integration, then notes that for every $100 earned, $74 is hidden tax and a year’s pay is taken in taxes.
In Corry, 20 years ago, a dinner party at Cabin-in-the Pines honored Paul A. Ryan of Sharon who has served with the state employment service while Philip McCray is on military leave.
