Death and mercy slayings stain wartime moralities
A Massachusetts lawyer sentenced to death for the mercy killing of his infant son sparks debate over loneliness and parental duty. In California, Louise Mack receives a year in prison with five years probation for abandoning her six year old daughter. The piece condemns lax judgments and stresses vigilance during wartime separations, while noting polio cautions and medical guidance. Later, wartime dispatches recount a robot bomb near Southern England, with civilians and servicemen scrambling through a dust-filled street, rescue efforts, and a frightened crowd awaiting news of survivors.

Orchids and Onions by Florence McGehee
Florence McGehee mocks a bride to be who questions a salad fork in a bridal store. A shop clerk cites caution about permanence, triggering a chorus of outrage for cynically undercutting wedding joy.

Your Birthday Today By Stella
Born today you will be restless and seek heights of achievement. You wander, rarely settle, and hold high ideals but may lack tenacity to finish. You are intuitive but need more realism to compete in a hard headed world of facts. You dislike insincere politics and will refuse cooperation with such behavior. Plan on a large scale but let others handle details. Be careful in partner choices as harmony is vital.
