Stick to your pulpit critique of politically active clergy
A droll column railing at religious leaders who mix faith with politics. The writer mocks clerics who espouse political causes, cites historical figures, and questions the integrity of rabbis, priests, and ministers while contrasting spiritual wealth with worldly power. The tone is sharp, skeptical, and irreverent about clergy involvement in public life.

Corry Store Closes After Final Day of Business
Corry Montgomery Ward on North Center Street closed its doors today after months of dwindling stock and a skeleton crew. The Corry Community Chest sent $1500 to the Erie County Cancer Society to aid local and national research. Twenty girls formed a junior auxiliary at Corry Memorial Hospital open to ages 16 with a small assessment. A minor collision occurred between Pennsylvania railroad trains in the west end yards with no serious injuries. Six or seven teaching vacancies in Corry Public Schools were filled at a board meeting while drastic reforms loom over school operations and funding. Shop Your Corry Store.
