Fourteen senators oppose the super navy bill planning a fight to the last ditch with a debate likely two weeks. Walsh leads questions hard to answer as the Navy seeks larger ships and eleven more auxiliaries, fueling an arms race. In Kenosha Wisconsin a yearlong junior ROTC project in the high schools ends with a curtain bang.
The Kenosha School Board split 3-3 on mandating military training, placing the question to a public referendum. Nine thousand opposed and four thousand supported training, as residents rejected compulsory ROTC in high schools. Proponents offered uniforms rifles and instructors, but parents preferred shopping for clothes over military education, warning that universal military training could undermine democracy and pave the way for dictatorship.
A Baltimore Social Security Records Division exhibit shows nearly 38 million workers with unique Social Security account numbers. The filing cabinets and wage ledgers detail each worker’s name address and employment, with employers reporting earnings to the wage records. Eligible workers include most nonfarm, nondomestic private sector employees under 65 as of January 1 1937, excluding government and certain exempted services.
The article explains which jobs fall under old-age insurance law. It cites examples: a steel mill worker and a linotype operator work in covered employment, while a farm hand and a private family cook do not. It notes future changes could trigger Social Security contributions and mentions where to send questions for answers in the paper.
In a letter to Timothy, St Paul warns that those who seek riches fall into temptation and traps. They indulge foolish and hurtful desires that drown men in ruin, urging readers to seek virtue over worldly gain.

A brief exhortation quotes scripture urging thoughtful living and forgiving one another as Christians, emphasizing kindness and mercy as outward signs of faith. The verse from Eph. 4 32 anchors the call to compassion in daily conduct.
