Union City Faces Renewal Amid Apathy And Decay
This feature examines Union City, a pre Civil War town in Erie County, facing aging housing and a failing business district. Officials cite slow legal processes and resident indifference, noting only four of 27 merchants attended a recent meeting. Comparisons are drawn to Corry and Doylestown, where civic actions spurred redevelopment. The borough seeks a town facelift through code enforcement, merchant involvement, and community pride.

Peace Talks Watch for North Vietnamese Moves
US and South Vietnamese officials expect three moves from North Vietnam and the Viet Cong during Paris peace talks. They anticipate military pressure to embarrass US and Saigon forces while talks continue, aiming to tilt public opinion against the war. Hanoi and the Liberation Front may use the forum to boost the NLFs status and push for a position they deem legitimate in South Vietnam. South Vietnamese observers warn of a shift in Hanoi’s rhetoric and targets as negotiations proceed.
