An opinion piece argues for tighter gun laws citing Tom Jenkins killed during a campus robbery and contrasts it with a sensational extortion plot targeting Airwest billionaire Howard Hughes. The essay critiques NRA influence, calling for action against gun criminals while detailing airline security responses and the broader social stakes.
A roundup of political headlines notes the Thieu Kissinger dispute after a Saigon report, Donald A. Nixon working for Vesco amid White House anxiety, and Ehrlichman urged caution. Also covered are safety calls for bomb hazard rules, a coal lobby sting in environmental directories, and a California taco chain executive named in a racial discrimination suit while serving on a minority enterprise council.
A reflective New York AP piece on waiting as a constant in life from birth to old age. It maps waits for care, growth, recognition, love, parenthood, schooling, and marriage, ending with the anticipation of seeing the newborn. The meditative prose ties together common life pauses and hopes across generations.
A nostalgic Christmas reflection recalls a home filled with scent of pine and feast, a child’s visions of Santa, and Kitty O Donnell receiving little while the narrator’s family shares gifts. The piece ends with Kitty recounting she sees Santa yearly, the manger gift, and a lasting belief in the Christmas spirit.
Two years ago in Corry the Pennsylvanian Gas Company Carter Hill well received a nitroglycerin drop that nearly doubled gas flow. Today the output is listed at 715000 feet daily as officials report. Meanwhile 60 Rainbow Girls met at the Masonic Temple with Sally Ruffner presiding to plan toy drives for the Masonic Orphanage in Elizabethtown. St Pauls Lutheran Church held a Christmas bazaar yesterday, raising about 2335 for church projects with Mrs Robert Catlin as chair.
Historians note Corry as the center of the Indian medicine boom led by the Oregon Indian Medicine Co. The firm, headed by Col. T A Edwards and later Donald McKay, marketed KA-TON-KA Splendid Tonic until federal inspectors condemned its ingredients as mere alcohol and sugar. The operation, housed on East Washington street, thrived from 1820 for decades before medical progress faded its mystique. The piece urges preserving this frontier history as a reminder of early American pseudo cures and their allure.
