A reader wonders if moving from West Virginia to Florida changes school work. The response notes schools vary by district and state. Local control means some Florida districts may be better or worse, and grades may adjust based on individual factors like curiosity and adaptability.
The piece argues that West Virginia’s weak educational system and tax resistance hinder progress. It notes national aid for Appalachian schools, shifts in coal industry wages, and a legacy of absentee wealth shaping low taxes, leaving residents frustrated and cautious about leaving or reforming the state.
A collage of quotes on conviction and fear shows how beliefs shape views of Communists, pacifists, and national policy. Professor J. W. Landmead Casserly notes that what people are convinced about depends on the content, while others argue differing opinions label foes or traitors.
Louis Cassels cites Anglican theologian Landmead Casserly arguing that strong belief in God requires tolerance not doubt. He says enduring faith should honor others freedom to doubt, as God creates liberty and models patient respect for human liberty even amid misuses.
Medicare affects younger adults beyond those aged 65 and over. Many children aid aging parents financially, with about a quarter of over 65 policies paid by offspring. Part B offers voluntary supplementary coverage for a $3 monthly premium, helping plan ahead for medical costs.
The note outlines that males and others 65 and older must enroll in Medicare Part B by March 31 or wait until October 1967, otherwise losing eligibility. It discusses hospitalization limits, daily costs after 60 days, and asks what Medicare covers for nursing home care and prescription drugs. It notes advising parents or in-laws with information and considers additional private insurance.
Report by Phil Newsom on Indira Gandhi facing early crises in independent India. Riots and secessionist tensions arise in West Bengal and Punjab as Sikhs seek a separate state. The piece notes 1955 state boundaries, leadership fears after Nehru, and rising Hindu nationalist currents.
William D. Laffler notes littering costs exceed one billion dollars annually as Keep America Beautiful and allied groups press anti litter programs. Banks, insurers, utilities, manufacturers, and chambers back campaigns arguing clean, attractive areas raise property values and lure business. KAB operates across over 7,000 communities nationwide with corporate support from about 100 firms.
KAB estimates it costs at least 500 million dollars annually to clean streets highways and public recreation areas. Seed says an ideal anti litter program should instill pride and responsibility for appearances with enforced laws and adequate disposal sites.
Indications show the Indonesian army hesitated to oppose Sukarno's pro-Red moves and briefly aided suppressing anti-Communist student protests. As Sukarno strengthens the pro-Peking bloc, student youths persist, pressuring army leaders to oust Sukarno and continue Communist purges. History suggests student groups could rally others again, with Communists using demonstrations to influence politics World-wide. The U.S. Communist Party reportedly plans to push student-led action here, attracted by media impact, while non-Red groups increasingly resist.
A prayer requests repentance and return to God through Jesus Christ, asking for mercy and the robe of honor, kiss of forgiveness, ring of authority, and shoes of sonship. Signed by J R Brokhoff, Atlanta professor of homiletics at Emory University.
Ward Cannel New York reports a critique of a $1.45 manual by Area Books on passing personality tests. The piece argues tests invade privacy and that advice to game questions is misguided. It concludes the only way to beat tests is to refuse to answer.
A fragment from Beckley notes a March chill at 11 below zero and mentions plans for a 150 bed Medical Center of Beckley on the Hume property. The piece weaves in reflections on society, questions, and a Plato-Dionysius anecdote about virtue and fortitude in a Sicily debate.
