The page mixes a thought for the day on love with a light comic, a sportsmanlike remark by Washington State's Jim Sutherland, and reader letters. It then recounts a United Press feature from 1934 about historical quintuplet and sextuplet birth cases, including Dionne and other noted families, plus a Texas mother anecdote.
The author recalls the Walnut Rural School history club meeting and Chuck Hotle continuing as president. He reflects on debating at the academy, a memorable cart ride, and longing to revisit the school. He notes the death of Rev. Guy P. Morris at University Hospital Iowa City and their shared ties as Oakdale neighbors and hospital companions.
The International Union of Operating Engineers Local 234 reports over half of the Mount Pleasant State Mental Health Institute employees signed authorization cards to gain representation.

Hughes saying he has no objections.
