Offbeat snippets from a historical page include a note on Silver Dollar City stores using silver dollars, a candid remark on power and morality, a joke about hypochondriacs and medical lectures, and a quip about the good old days. A closing vignette shows two beatniks on a road where one is hit by a car as the other keeps snapping his fingers.
A mixed page includes a crossword with word clues and a humor column. It features short jokes about marriage, commerce, and daily life, plus a Dutch barber traffic signal gag and a pun about a thermometer and fashion theft. The tone is light, period-appropriate.
