Navy retirement board weighs officer retirements before July
The plucking board finished preliminary work to select officers for retirement on June 30 and will reconvene July 1 to tally voluntary retirements. The number of forced retirements will hinge on vacancies needed to reach 40 retirements above lieutenant junior grade after voluntary retirements. Selections are tentatively made, but fewer applications for voluntary retirement are expected due to potential legislation on automatic advancement under current law.

Evicted veteran couple endure cold days in shanty
Rowe, a wind-broken Civil War veteran, and his sister were evicted from their home after an eviction by a real estate broker. They lived in a tent for days, surviving on chickens and meager jobs, while clinging to hope that the federal act will settle land ownership and allow them to return to a home they cherish. They rent a shanty now and rely on daily newspapers for a sense of normalcy.
