Text of an article from the September 1956 issue of The Landmark summarising the Muintir na Tíre Rural Week in Killarney, 11-19 August 1956.

Report (in Turkish with English translation) written by Dr. Tarık Ziya Ekinci, brother of Yusuf Ekinci, discussing his brother's murder. Dr. Ekinci notes his brother's lack of existing personal, professional, or political disputes with anyone. He writes that the killing of Yusuf was one of hundreds of so-called “unknown perpetrator” killings in 1994. The principal victims included prominent Kurdish businessmen and intellectuals. As pointed out in the report, Yusuf was an intellectual of Kurdish origin from the town of Lice. At the time Yusuf was killed, the focal point of the campaign against terrorism was Lice and its surrounding villages. Moreover, the method used in the killing of Yusuf Ekinci was identical to that used in the murders of intellectuals and businessmen of Kurdish origin in the main Turkish cities in 1994. Ekinci arrives at the conclusion that his brother 'like the others, was killed by a secret organisation nesting within the state.'

Pages 1, 3 and 4 of an article written in French by Canon Brys of the Union internationale d'études sociales (International Union of Social Studies), Brussels, which warns of the dangers of state intervention in the social insurance system ('Social insurance, arising spontaneously from the intelligent will of self-help combined with a fraternal feeling of mutual aid, and guaranteed on the basis of personal responsibility and trust, runs the danger of being emptied of the active play of these moral and social values') and advocates for the ability of free choice in insurance, particularly health insurance.
