The piece argues steel workers gain at pennies per hour while mills gain on $10 per ton, predicting higher retail prices across autos and nails. It warns wage earners, retirees, and those on fixed incomes will shoulder the cost as living expenses rise, and questions who pays for the strike.
The piece muses on how quickly time passes from Christmas to summer holidays. It notes the drift of bills for purchases, vacations, lawn care, and car expenses, with a humorous nod to magazine deadlines and the relentlessness of newspaper work. A longing for a vacation remains unfulfilled by August.
An August 1 1873 notice notes the filled hole before Eslabrooks easing public pressure while blaming no specific party for the initial dig the engineer acted under council instructions. Dr Estabrook is ill and under medical care. School bonds traded by W F Swift. Presbyterian church reorganizes with officers trustees elders and plans stronger management. J H Chandler promotes pianos and organs as agent for premier manufacturers.
The text suggests a lighthearted take on holidays and finances, noting that after a short time Christmas arrives and then the new year brings bills to pay. It references people staying home, some painting houses, and the universal burden of upcoming expenses.
A collage of light remarks on maternity sales and summer budgets. Notes on campaign lore, Bridey Murphy, and labor boards, with comic asides about inventors and domestic tech. Ends with a jab at party wealth and Adlai Stevenson’s riches.
Analysts debate the value of whistle stop tours versus front porch campaigning as television broadens reach. Historical examples McKinley Harding Harrison and Cox show porch power, while Truman’s porch and the White House rear porch spark modern irony.
Searing winds affect Kansas corn prospects but officials say most major producing areas show crop quality from good to very good. Moisture is urgently needed, with early plantings producing well sized ears while drought-damaged fields outside main areas are cut for silage. As of July 28, 81 percent of the crop has tasseled, 71 percent is denting and 65 percent is silking.
Ponce de Leon Park in Atlanta and Rickwood Field in Birmingham each accommodate up to 14,500 spectators. The figures place both venues among notable Southern parks.
Widely used booklet on Sex Problems in Marriage by Dr. George W. Crane. Clinicians report doctors and clergy use the material to save time and educate patients, with plain outside mail to protect privacy. The non profit booklets cost 20 cents to cover printing and paper costs, and readers are urged to request via The Hopkins Syndicate.
A dense OCR style listing combines programs, hosts, stations, and guests across morning to late evening blocks. It notes TV show titles and performers like Captain Kangaroo, Desert, Jimmie Pierson, and Bob Cummings alongside weather, sports, and news segments reflecting a busy broadcast schedule.
Retired yesterday at age 70, Frank D. Kinnie was chief engineer of eastern lines for the Santa Fe Railway. He supervised many grade revisions in Missouri, Kansas, and Oklahoma and served the road 47 years. He plans to move from Topeka to Prairie Village after September 1.
A fragmented listing shows KTJO KMBC WDAF and KMBC programs for the day including news, sports, music, variety shows, religious segments, and open house. Entries mention baseball games, jazz programs with Stan Kenton, and discussions like Laymen's Hour.
A 1951 survey of Social Security recipients shows the main retirement motive is being unable to work, with 40.8 percent citing incapacity. Other factors include job loss or reduction, reaching retirement age, employer judgments, and voluntary retirements in good health. Median retirement age was 67, with 61 percent aged 66 or older at retirement.
The text blends a religious prayer with a social security retirement survey noting most men drawing early payments are truly retired, while some rejoin the workforce. It cites that about a fifth of men worked full time after retirement and that those who returned were usually those dropped by employers rather than those who chose retirement. Readers are invited to write Ray Henry with a stamped return envelope and 25 cents.
Norma di Sandro, four, youngest victim of last week's collision of liners Stockholm and Andrea Doria, was buried Tuesday at St Ann's Church in Providence. Her parents, traveling from Milan to start a new life in America, stood with mourners as her tiny casket was carried by six cousins.
