He warns the missed call for a June 4 1943 bond election risks limiting Raleigh County to a feeder airport instead of a major air transport hub, as federal support for regional airports grows nationwide.

Beulah Danese and Navy Talks in Postwar Reflections
The column recalls how Beulah Danese in Fayette County inspired a post office name while recounting wartime notes. It notes the selective service draft number 158 associated with a father in Italy, a WAC daughter, and a Seabees sailor. It also mentions Ensign Roger Griffith aboard Solace and a reflection on language and time perception during war and travel. That reflective voice ties local people to broader wartime events and phrases about saving time.
