Large draft signups begin with protests in Lawrence
In Lawrence the draft registration starts slowly with 25 of the 1960 birth cohort registering early and about 4,000 expected to sign. Quaker Friends Meeting and Kansas Anti-Draft Organization protesters appear at three post offices while nationwide signups proceed with few incidents and general calm. Nearby counties show population changes since 1970, the Lawrence hospital plans a health facilities study, a new post office is set to open, and a river flood crested then subsided before track repairs near Lecompton.

A Boston case joins four similar incidents where parents convicted for child deaths after seeking only prayer, raising issues of religious freedom versus state duty to protect minors. The judge imposed 10 years’ probation with medical consultation required for seriously ill children. Readings contrast faith healing with medical care, citing history and ethics, and warn that protecting children may override beliefs.

Public forum questions church value and tax assessment
Letter writers contest the English Lutheran Church valuation in Douglas County. The Assessor set building value at 96 500 and land at 46 900 in 1989, later the building was valued at 0 and land kept. A 1990 hearing lowered land to 5 400 and raised building to 100, with taxes of 207.58. Ralph Crowder suggests sale to preserve the church and questions fairness of assessments. Also letters defend Consumer Affairs Assn’s work over 18 years, noting 116 000 saved in 1989 and ongoing service without CDBG funding.
