A reflective column argues that products from cigarettes to underwear should be proven safe before sale. It calls for stronger manufacturer responsibility and government action, citing FDA limits, investigational drugs, and a 2 House sub committee study led by Rep. Fountain comparing U S and British safeguards.
A Foundation report contrasts British and American practice, noting Brits report adverse drug reactions more openly and label dangers more readily, while U S doctors underreport to the FDA and the AMA Journal favors advertisers. The study laments weak post marketing safety monitoring and notes a reaction may be statistically invisible in small studies.
The piece profiles Allan Drake and other comics, noting their humor born of pain. It portrays Drake as darkly muscular, self aware, and devoted to wife Wanda, recounting jokes about marriage, a lavish yet troubled home life, and his stage partnership with Engelbert Humperdinck.
Grass Roots Opinion in La Porte Herald Argus argues freedom of expression is vital but warns against constant protest marches and revolution minded agitators. The piece says a balance is needed between honest dissent and destructive actions to avoid sad, fatal times for the nation.
A 1950 Corry report notes a plan to add a basement and two story parish hall at the rear of St. Pauls Lutheran Church for education and social use. Erie County Crippled Children's Society launches its Easter Seals campaign to fund services for another year. No Bar Riding Club hosts a hob o party at Grange Hall in Jarren with about 100 members. Corry City Council will tackle a 1,000 foot fire hose contract after bids from seven firms were received last month. Chapin and Sons move their ready to wear department to the Washington street wing during remodeling at their North Center street store. The Corry Evening Journal is published daily except Sunday by George R Sample. The paper carries AP content plus local notices and ads.
A reader suggests unmistakable signs of declining status, from misaddressed coatracks and being called by the wrong name to social snubs at parties, a failing barber routine, patched luggage, and the zoo elephant’s wary reaction. The piece playfully concludes you may be a rodent dropout and notes submission rules for correspondence to The Corry Journal.
