Engagements and a long road to a degree in 1938 era notes
Parents announce the engagement of Vicki Holmes to Ed Dibble of Marion. Vicki is a Deaconess School of Nursing graduate and will work at Doctors Hospital in Carbondale. Ed is a senior at Murray State University majoring in physical education. Another engagement: Sandra Elaine Slack to William W. Walker Jr. Miss Slack taught in St. Louis after graduating from Oakland University. William studied at EKU and SIU and works for Powers Regulator in St. Louis. An Aug 12 wedding is planned on farms. The piece then shifts to the life of Shupert, who pursued education late in life, earning a BA in anthropology from SIU after years of work in oil transport and multiple marriages, reflecting on the value and propriety of education.

Rehabilitation after heart attack guidance by Dr. Lamb
A 54 year old man with arteriosclerotic heart disease recovers at home after two weeks of bed rest. Walking is advised as the primary exercise for about three months to aid circulation, with gradual increases and avoidance of fatigue or chest pain. Smoking cessation, reducing calories and saturated fats, and careful frying practices are recommended, with limited caffeine. Some arterial closure may be reversed with proper self-care under medical supervision.
