3 June 1959 Afterburner

The 3 June 1959 issue of Yokota's base paper was almost completely devoid of graphics -- banners, cartoon, space fillers. However, the paper did change its flag with this issue, so that's noteworthy.
New flag. The move to this Germanic font seems strange and incongruous to me, like it's the Christmas issue. But this was 1959 so I have to be careful not to project my sensibilities onto a different era and mindset. 
Ah, Rhymes of the Times. So boring, so lame. Note the Navy Dixie Cup hat on the owl.
