54.	Problems Not New / Wichels, Ernest [783] [WICHELS-1964-783] Too frequently we read of some "new" development to improve the economy; or hear someone wonder what has happened to modern youth; or see a reference to the shipyard "crisis."

Christmas In Vallejo / Wichels, Ernest [777] [WICHELS-1963-777] Christmas is the same over the years--the family reunions, the joy of the children, and the turkey on the table--but the manner of reporting it has changed.

60.	Horseless Carriages / Wichels, Ernest [776] [WICHELS-1963-776] This past week we learned that another American-made automobile passes from the scene. Studebaker has been a by-word for over 60 years. But this has happened to automobiles in America just about 5,100 times in the past 65 years!
