...have just returned from a month of travel among the ruined cities of Germany. When I look at the photograph of these young St. Louis ruffians ... I remember that 15 years ago the same type of German youth was beating Jews in the streets of German cities, burning synagogues and carrying on street fights against their own government. What has happened to American civilization, the American home, the American church, and our educational system, that it produces or tolerates this sort of conduct? And why should the St. Louis law enforcement agencies be so lenient with such rioters? Is closing...

Sometimes when I go home late...
...Divan. This week Lloyd, convalescing from a serious gall-bladder operation, stood at another satisfying apex of his life. He had given himself unstintingly to Shrine activities. He had been Al Malaikah Temple's Potentate. For the past seven years he had worked among the Shrine's crippled children's hospitals, had been a director and trustee of that program, which is a substantial and sober part of Shrine activities. It maintains 16 hospitals, annually raises millions of dollars through its circuses, East-West football game, annual dues and local contributions...
