The article traces Wendell Willkie's unconventional path to the Republican nomination, from a flavor of match sticks and chewing gum strategy to a nationwide, growing campaign.

The idea of a town owning a forest for pleasure and profit is not new. In 1910 Newington New Hampshire planted a community forest and Troy Missouri recently opened a 1000 acre woodlot on tax-delinquent land, marking the 1500th US community forest. The American Municipal Association notes over 3 million acres owned this way, with some 40 large enough to hire a forester.

The Washington Merry Go Round notes Henry L. Stimson’s appointment as Secretary of War under Franklin D. Roosevelt, pairing their long political feud with shared belief in peaceful democracy.

A historical etiquette quiz explains travel rules on planes and cars. It states smoking is allowed except shortly before takeoff and landing, luggage limits are by weight not pieces, ask before lighting a cigarette due to others' discomfort, settle shared travel expenses before the trip, and telephone friends before staying with them when visiting towns.
