Even with their problems of money and morale, Youngstown's steelworkers and their families are neither angry nor restive-not yet, anyway. "We've had a steel strike in the Mahoning Valley almost every two years since the war," said Union National Bank President Asael Adams Jr. "There's very little clamor or bitterness.

Within two hours, Dr. Simonetta, assisted by Dr. Henry Jacobs, had completed his surgery: cleaning and setting an elbow fractured when the patient was pinned under a tractor. Then, as he was about to be wheeled out, the boy's heart stopped...
Last week, with the patient making a normal recovery, the citizens of Spring Valley (pop. 5,000) found a way to show Dr. Jacobs their gratitude. They chipped in to help buy the hospital a $350 defibrillator so that other patients' lives would not have to depend on an electric cord, a coffee spoon...
