A columnist laments winter hazards from slick streets and reckless pedestrians in Corry. He recounts near misses on East South Street and East Main Street, urges caution, and notes Scammon residents periodically fill potholes with gravel and oil using local fundraisers and county supplies.
A nostalgic, chaotic recount of a pothole filling effort with broom and shovel crews, mixed with mischief, volunteers, and late 20th century political names from Pennsylvania. The piece details makeshift town labor, frayed resources, and community improvisation amid urban wear.
Faced with looted Bureau of Indian Affairs files, a 1970 memo shows Vice President Agnew forwarding a proposal by banker General George Olmsted to create an American Indian National Bank. Olmsted would fund and train tribes to run the bank, holding stock in escrow until ownership passed, while seeking modest fees and profits. The effort, aligned with Nixon administration aims, faced internal reservations but continued with federal support measures. Also noted are government documents on water rights, and a separate EPA intervention over military pollution involving DDT and other chemicals at Sierra Army Depot and in Hawaii and California.
The discussion underscores ongoing investigations into the Hale Boggs and Nicholas Begich disappearance and argues that this tragedy will prompt stricter aviation rules. It cites pilots’ licenses, type ratings, and required instruction, noting a crash in Sacramento and Alaska tests human limits and the need for disciplined training to improve safety in an increasingly crowded sky.
Bankers and economists predict Nixon will push the economy toward overseas markets in a second term. A tariff elimination proposal and tax-law changes could alter investment flows, with focus on fixed exchange rates and expanded foreign aid, possibly benefiting Southeast Asia.
