A frequent photo feature shows compact low power airplanes hailed as popular but analysis reveals they lack stability in rough air, insufficient power for adverse conditions, and fragility, rendering them mostly novelty items rather than serious machines. Garfield Tea ad and a lighthearted vignette about a doctor and a child add typical miscellaneous content.
Forty years ago a stonemason's apprentice carved on a lake cliff the line The New Year Will Be Good. Since then readers have found hope in the crude, boyish message as years pass.

A compact excerpt reflecting on time’s fleeting nature and the Christian call to faithful service. The text celebrates patience, hope, and love, urging personal diligence in spiritual work and readiness for Christ’s return as the millennial year approaches.

It offers croquette recipes from leftover poultry with rice and tomato cream, Roquefort salad dressing, potato and ham croquettes, and gingerbread custard. It also includes prose verse by Edgar Guest and a playful slice of domestic humor.
A compact sermon-like verse set blends quotes from Phillips Brooks General Armstrong and Charles Gordon with biblical lines from Colossians and a prayer for New Year guidance. It centers on truthful living, seeking God will daily, and finding peace in faith as one year ends and another begins. The collection prompts humble, purposeful living and gratitude.

A historic sketch notes fewer robins in the South during winters over four decades due to market hunters using a two barrel shotgun.
