A concise biblical reflection cites Genesis 19 10 urging peaceful departure and burial in a good old age. The devotional line frames personal aging and honoring final days as a peaceful departure. The verse emphasizes timeless themes of faith, mortality, and dignified closure.
A commentary argues against nationalistic flag displays urging a shift toward global human unity. It recalls Sen Barry Goldwater on war and economy and notes wartime debts. It also recounts a Kennedy Jr. airport departure incident and ensuing public reaction.
A recollection traces the origin of an official Boys State song. The author recalls being asked to write a hurried official tune for Summers County’s Boys State session at Jackson’s Mill. He notes prior work and a later inquiry about ownership.
A writer recalls composing the tune Men Of Tomorrow for the American Legion Boys State program. He works from a rough melody, has it sung by Mrs Leidig, and notes later edits by Ward. He questions copyright and credits the assist to Leidig, wondering what happened to her.
Reader letters discuss whether private clubs may discriminate and if the National Little League should include Black players. The piece argues discrimination is harmful, notes the Human Rights Commission has asked Elks representatives to discuss the issue, and cites historical editorials on Little League policy. Dennis H. Cooke of High Point College signs off on a separate note.
The 1945 army truck tale marks Miyoshi Umeki’s rise with Tats Nagashima, a brilliant interpreter and later Tokyo’s top theatrical agent. Capt. Kline’s thirsty soldiers led Tats to a brewery, a hotel club, and the club’s entertainment role, launching Miyoshi’s path to Sayonara and an Oscar. Nagashima guided her rise, adopting the GI scene and reshaping Japanese show business. Capt. Kline’s prompt sparked a chain that made Miyoshi a star and Tats a legend.
President Kennedy’s peace speech to graduates frames world security as achievable through law and ends the arms race. He urges Khrushchev to abandon conquest, backs test bans as gradual steps, and promotes the US stance of security without denying dialogue. The piece notes a US Moscow hotline and ongoing Geneva talks as progress toward disarmament.
