McNary Views On Farm Problem in Aurora Speech
Senator Charles L. McNary, Republican candidate for vice president, urged enlarging the American market for farm products and tying farm prices to American rather than world prices. He attacked the New Deal's farm policy as failing to solve problems and called for parity prices, reduced bureaucracy, and better administration.

A discussion on standardization contrasts its safeguards with its limits. It cites Jesus and Mary Baker Eddy on perfection as the ultimate standard, urging that true progress comes from infinite, universal good rather than finite human measures.

On Chirikof Island in western Alaska a herd of about 600 cattle roams wild and belligerent, making travel risky without a rifle. Travelers W. B. Goss and Adolph Rogers reported narrow escapes during a 1939 photographic expedition, describing the cattle as ferocious and camera subjects needing caution.

New Jamestown Bridge Replaces Historic Narraganset Ferry
The $3,000,000 Jamestown bridge will span Narraganset bay from Saunderstown to Jamestown and retire the centuries old ferry service. The ferry, founded before 1670 by Gov. Caleb Carr, has operated continuously with a Carr family member serving in the Jamestown Newport service, now Lucy Carr. A separate note recalls Union Pacific’s aluminum fleet introduction and the rise of streamlined trains with 30 streamlined unit trains and 60 modernized standard trains since then.
