Disjointed prose from a 20th century newspaper column touches on geography and politics in Asia, social advice, and civic observations. It references the Associated Press rights, public notices, and a string of aphorisms about money, labor, traffic, and governance.
The piece reflects on the 162nd birth of the U S flag noting its origins with 13 stars and stripes and the later additions to 48 states in 1912. It warns of “moths” corrupting reverence and contrasts patriotism with political critiquing while discussing 1938 U S gasoline tax totals and state receipts led by New York and Pennsylvania. It also condemns harsh treatment of citizens during police questioning as an aside.
A heated dispute over a state economy committee and a third degree questioning method fuels charges that officials misrepresent facts. Critics say the governor and lawmakers overstate guilt while teachers await payrolls and schools face potential bankruptcy.
Daybook reports a bronze Will Rogers statue unveiled in the Capitol rotunda amid remarks likening the nation’s humorist to a crowd pleaser. It notes the scene a few days before the King and Queen met Congress, with quips about U.S. wartime costs and diplomacy.
Dear Oscar notes a hamburger joint on Sixth Avenue using a quotation from a dining essay. The letter-writer mocks the ad copy and references Robert Neff of United Airlines and a ride on the DCA. The piece captures urban chatter and playful epistolary tone in New York.
A sponsored essay from Thomasville and Thomas County citizens defending traditional fiscal policies and states' rights. It rails against New Deal policies, calls for skepticism toward federal expansion, and urges readers, especially women with wealth and life insurance, to consider the broader political economy while warning of creeping despotism.
A dated editorial argues political depressions arise from reformers and politicians, urging removal of those who promote them. It attacks New Deal policy as unconstitutional government direction of business, notes debt and unemployment, and cautions against quack economic management.
Denver man Joan Albert Williams, an admitted burglar, withdrew his probation plea and asked Judge Robert W. Steele to sentence him to prison. The judge approved, noting Williams will receive a new set of false teeth in the dental ward.
Hartington Nebraska and Wausa staged a charity baseball game for Charlie Ho. Lind, the town’s 70 year old fan, attended with cheer as merchants donated about 190 dollars for his care. Lind died of heart disease a few hours after the game.
