Strength For Today by Earl L Douglass SISYPHUS
Sisyphus is used as a parable for unfinished efforts, urging readers not to be like him. The essay notes many people start tasks with good intent, but never finish, visible in incomplete home repairs and unfulfilled promises to contribute to projects. The piece contrasts Greek myth with modern perseverance. Office bomb blast reports from Catania, Sicily, April 27 describe an anti-Communist movement office explosion, with fire and fire brigade response.

A reader asks how to stop a former coworker from sending love letters to her husband and如何 to respond.

It includes further letters about marriage, parental in laws, and a 21 year old dating a 16 year old, with responses urging caution and attention to family dynamics.
