- Description:
- A content analytic study examines the coverage of conflicts within, between, and among nations of the West African sub-region by three of Nigeria's leading national dailies and three major weekly news magazines. The aim of the study was to find out how far the newspapers and news magazines made efforts to contribute toward the resolution of the conflicts, in terms of the extent to which they covered the conflicts, and how they went about presenting their news stories, writing their editorials, and making their commentaries on the conflicts. The results showed that the dailies and the weekly news magazines made fairly good efforts to report on the conflicts, and that they gave relatively appropriate emphases to conflict stories, and exhibited such other professional standards as balance, constructiveness, and responsibility in story writing and presentation. However, these standards did not apply to all the nations of the sub-region to the same degree, except for emphases and constructiveness. Nigerian conflicts took a large majority of the media's attention in terms of absolute coverage and balance and responsibility in story writing and presentation, as against conflicts in the 15 other West African nations.

- This letter, written to Christopher L. Lordan, Esquire, was asking for a revision of a private letter which was distributed. The revision speaks highly of volunteers and how kind words from those in charge can increase the moral and work ethic of volunteers. It also states that leading by example is the best way to encourage volunteers and soldiers to work hard and do their best. Nightingale apologized for any inconvenience in editing the private letter and thanks the recipient for their attention to the matter.

- Temporary pillars in Fulton Park Memorial to Gold Star heroes of World War I. The more elaborate pillars erected by the American Legion were begun in 1926 (see image no. 255). These two pillars, which flank an entrance to the park, are tall, square, slightly tapered and unadorned except for the lettering “They Gave Their Lives” (left pillar) and “That We Might Live” (right pillar). Underneath each of these mottoes stands a single star; then the list of names. An American flag is suspended between the pillars above the park entrance. A few people can be seen through the entrance, sitting on benches.
