Reporter Jim Bishop surveys Aruba, noting Dutch influence, the island’s orange and yellow churches, Esso’s oil refinery, and a sea-water purification plant. He describes Beth Israel temple, Roman Catholic churches, and the One-Way Tree, while contrasting island life with visits from New York to Curacao and local governance before segueing to Waynesburg mayor resigning.
In Our Opinion the piece contrasts Congress approving a $10,000 raise for itself with past fast actions that cut GI family allotments.

A 1960s era review shows Catholic groups receiving a growing share of government surplus property after John F. Kennedy’s election. HEW data reveal Catholic institutions gained 15.8 million dollars in property from 1944 to 1961, rising further in 1963 after Anthony Celebrezze became HEW secretary, including the transfer of hospitals, bases, and other buildings to Catholic bodies, with notable free gifts and discounted sales. The pattern drew scrutiny from lawmakers over church aid laws and constitutional questions.
The HEW administration reports surplus property transfers: the Congregational Christian Church received forty acres from Whipple Barracks for Prescott College in Arizona valued at 10 300. Sunshine Bible Academy received two buildings valued at 11 300 at Big Ben Dam and Oahe Dam in South Dakota.
Five day negotiations with the Seneca Indians at Red House concluded with agreements on 235 additional Allegany Reservation tracts to be taken for the Allegany Dam project. George D.

Allottees may take 90 percent of offered amounts once their property rights are determined, or may leave funds on deposit to participate in future rights.

Gambling raids in Monessen result in five people released on bond after being charged with operating a lottery and gambling premises.
