A neighborhood Boy Scout troop tale features a committee member noting his pride in all the boys while revealing he has five daughters. Graduation gifts and fashion chatter fill the Squire Shoppe ads as Memorial Day wear shifts to sportswear. An eminent surgeon unveils a bust at a university and is cheekily reminded a young lady traveled 500 miles to see it.
