MacArthur and Monticello Echo in Wartime Nonsense
In a Monticello column the writer rebukes Douglas MacArthur’s call for leadership over direction and skewers presidential backers. The piece shifts to local notes about a Monticello dentist planning school year squads, housing counts, a Fifth Grade Recorder contest, and a Corset lace find, ending with a Chicago weekend visit by local residents.
Farm program rewards if one loves agriculture and detail
The piece highlights Lloyd Peters 16 of Bellvue as a Future Farmers of America and 4-H member who excelled in state contests for field crops and soil conservation. He earned a National 4-H trip to Chicago and a $50 bond, produced crops on a four acre barley plot and three acres of hybrid seed corn, raised beef, and created wildlife areas on his father's 225 acre farm.
