Old school bonds never die

I've got the solution to the school problem in Nebraska City, but officers say it's agin the law to tar and feather anyone.

How does that saying go? "Old school bonds never die, they just aren't floated?"

After hearing Harry Hines, state director of Services for the Blind, tell of budget cuts and future hardships, a delegate at the Workers for the Blind convention quipped, "How about the legislators cutting their salaries?"

News photographers at the Miss Nebraska pageant shot pictures regularly during the three day program at Fairbury, but when the beauties appeared in bathing suits there was so much flashing of bulbs the neighbors headed for the cellar, that is, with the exception of a Lincoln newsphotographer who worked up such a sweat (humidity, that is) his flash wouldn't flash, but his eyes lighted up.

The hen that rode the Morton House Kitchens truck and refused to leave her roost reminds me of a mother-in-law who came to visit for a few days . . .

I believe.

—Nebraska City needs more paving, another tennis court, fewer know-it-alls and do nothings, an extensive Riverview park improvement program, a larger Community Chest to absorb other fund drives, a sewage disposal plant and school building improvement. Many of these things would cost the taxpayers extra loot, but I have as yet to see any community, or person for that matter, get anything without paying for it.
