A fragment from Sunshine Magazine quotes Elbert Hubbard and extols American ideals. It promotes the Busy Man's Creed stressing honesty, hard work, initiative, courtesy, and self belief as guiding principles for personal success.

It conveys sincere congratulations and urges graduates to continue studies if possible, while noting churches plan vacation Bible schools and the value of Bible education through the summer program.
A fragmentary column lists social chatter and dances, mentioning Jin, Jo, Eoline, and Pat. It notes a house party theme, couples like Maude and Em, and various song titles, plus a brief reference to a 1927 British labor law debate and proposed changes.
The piece weighs reform driven by public health needs against revenue strategies, notes a defeated reorganization bill, ponders a Supreme Court push, and analyzes Walsh Healey Act amendments shaping Labor Relations Act revisions. It argues the current act is lopsided, and compulsory compliance with NLRB orders could bolster business support for change.
