Sunday Morning published by Beckley Newspapers Corporation and entered in Beckley West Virginia post office as second class main matter. Managing editor warning and related filing noted.
West Virginia faces large annual bond interest costs while roads and sewers lag. Beckley should consider municipal utility funding for sewerage and a paving certificate plan to spread costs among property owners. These methods reduce taxpayer burden while boosting city improvements and property values.
Massachusetts Institute of Technology acts to address conscientious objectors in military training by offering an alternative two year course in international law and diplomacy. The plan, to take effect next September, includes possibly arbitration history and allows eligible students like Kenneth Arnold to continue toward degrees through partial coursework and reporting. Other colleges may follow MIT’s approach.
Observers note the experiments may yield useful results by placing trained objectors on international commissions. Their calm balance could curb the hot-headedness of generals and admirals.

A column riffs on Lincoln and Gettysburg, mocks Everett, and lampoons prominent citizens. It jokes about a new jail atop the county courthouse, its security, and a possibly dubious flagpole, then parodies a local man named J C Riffe and a farm tale about a cunning hog. The tone is satirical and critical of local figures.
Washington column notes floods dominate front pages eclipsing Capitol Hill debates and major events like Pan American talks and Edward VIII romance. It argues floods’ impact rivals war losses and will prompt reclamation speeches, while Roosevelt’s Supreme Court message finally breaks the flood news surge.
A satirical collage satirizes politics sports and world affairs. Notes include Braddock planning warm up fights before Louis and the cost of river projects. A quip about Mussolini Lindbergh and the League of Nations reflects wartime humor and international tension.
England's oldest factory in Havant Hampshire ends after more than a millennium of operation. Originating in parchment for illuminated manuscripts then supplying American universities, orders dwindled, prompting closure.
In a suspenseful chase through New York streets, Bigelow and Anne evade a silent shadow dogging Bigelow’s moves. A mysterious spy tracks him, raising danger as they seek Lorna Dryden and a missing pair of letters connected to Vronski's blackmail. Tomorrow’s twist promises further danger.
