“TRUMAN REJECTS NATION’S HIGHEST HONOR” – Former President Harry S. Truman will not accept a Congressional Medal of Honor award should proposed legislation make it possible for the President of the United States to bestow such an honor.
In a letter to Rep. William J. Randall of Independence, Mr. Truman said, “In the first place, I do not consider that I have done anything which would be the reason for any award, Congressional or otherwise.”
“Next, the Congressional Medal of Honor was instituted for combat service. This is as it should be and to deviate by giving it for any other reason lessens and dilutes its true significance.”

“HEALTH HAZARD CREATED BY OVERLOADED LAGOONS” – The smell of raw sewage in the air is a common happening in the southern sections of the city. So common that the stench created by effluent from two overloaded lagoons and unsanitary procedures practiced by business establishments in Kansas City are causing residents to become ill, some violently.
The health hazard is existing in the area generally bounded on the east by Phelps Road, on the south by U.S. 40, on the north by 46th Terrace, and on the west by Hocker. But the stink knows no limits and drifts as far as an evening breeze will carry it.

Gone but not forgotten: Ceremonies honor Missouri officers who made the ultimate sacrifice
There are now 716 names that can be found along the walls of Missouri’s Law Enforcement Memorial outside the state Capitol in Jefferson City. Those names are sitting on the Wall of Honor to pay tribute to officers who gave their lives to protect and serve others.

Eight names of officers who died in the line of duty in 2020 and seven others killed between 1907 and 1946 were added to the wall as part of annual ceremonies to remember Missouri’s fallen men and women in blue.
Six Missouri law-enforcement officers and two corrections officers who died in the line of duty in between in 2020 were honored on Saturday, May 1, during Missouri’s annual Law Enforcement Memorial Service for those who have paid the ultimate price for their service protecting their fellow Missourians.
Officers, their families and friends from across the state gathered as the service returned to the Missouri Law Enforcement Memorial on the grounds to the state Capitol, after being held virtually last year due to the coronavirus pandemic.
In addition to the officers who died in 2020, the names of seven law-enforcement officers whose historical line-of-duty deaths recently confirmed also were added to the memorial’s “Wall of Honor.”
