A devotional reflection cites Hebrews 1 2 about speaking through the appointed heir of all things and praises God for the unspeakable gift of Jesus Christ. The message closes with thanks from Malibie Babcock.
The feud between Winslow F Burhans and Kenneth Mackley over water and sewer provision for Maugansville is wasteful and undermines public trust. The Suburban Sanitary Commission was created to serve areas outside Hagerstown after disagreements over terms. The question now is which agency can supply services at the lower overall cost as Hagerstown can leverage its existing plants and lines. Cooperation between city and county governments best serves taxpayers.
A brief column extols chess players as models of calm deliberation amid space age living. It imagines a world where quick action yields less reliability and questions whether broader society should slow and think before acting. It ends with a playful warning not to panic.
A nostalgic reminiscence celebrates bygone habits and social quirks from a rural town. It recalls modest luxuries, public manners, family rituals, and ancient slang, contrasting childhood joys with older ways of life, from milk shakes to gossip and dime store humor.
A glance through local recollections shows a 40 year ago scene with a large bass near Dam No Four, a Chewsville mill reopening under new management, and timber clearing at the Blue Mountain House site. Residents recall Civil War sights, a fatal hit and run near Gettysburg, WAVES inducted at the Maryland Theater, and officials addressing backlog causing afternoon closures. An automobile crash fragments a restaurant screen, two Zonbro children die after electric shock, and promotions and posts within the Maryland State Police and American Legion are announced.
A reader criticizes editorials on race and equal rights, defending pride in color and urging better housing and job opportunities. The writer, declining to sign name, claims white society denied equality for 100 years and asserts Black residents seek true parity in Hagerstown communities.
A brief readers’ letter reflects on the U S Senate’s rejection of a response about a partial test ban on nuclear arms. The writer compares water to life for leukemia victims, urging concise submissions to the Voice of the People column and noting names can be published if supplied.
A brief verse reflecting motherhood as the core of a mother’s care and fear for her child. The speaker recalls a mother rushing to comfort her crying child and bearing personal hurts to shield her offspring from harm. The poem portrays universal parental devotion across all mothers.
A column reviews gastric freezing as a treatment for peptic ulcers noting 45 minute sessions that relieve pain and may halt bleeding. While 90 percent report short term relief, failures and risks appear with deep or perforated ulcers. Diet, antacids, and acid suppression remain safer options.
Three Minutes A Day presents Prof Abraham Bernstein of Brooklyn College on how smart questions distinguish a wise teacher from a mediocre one. He argues forethought and preparation create challenging questions that stump learners and inspire deeper thinking. The piece urges readers to strengthen education now and hints at moral guidance from Proverbs to motivate both teachers and students.
