There was a time when hair rinses with a touch of color were a big secret and perhaps such things are today with some people.
But rightly so, it seems that most people use the rinses for good grooming and a handsome job is done.
I never heard of the good grooming technique applied to whiskers until the Nebraska Centennial of 1967.
My, my, I never knew men were so conscious of those gray hairs.
Mary Lindell, the youngster from Douglas who drafted the seal now declared the official county seal, will accompany the Centennial caravan to Washington, D. C., for the tree planting.
The Centennial committee was tickled pink Mary could accompany the group on the trip. Mary will pay her own expenses, too . . . after she sells a calf.
How's that for enthusiasm?
The highway from the City limits past Arbor Lodge State Park and to the new U. S. 75 east of Kimmel orchard will be vacated soon by the state and taken over as the Centennial Avenue, thanks to the efforts of Vern Livingston and the other members of the Arbor Day committee.
Seems to me Centennial Avenue would be a dandy place for some new home sites.
The City planning commission was pleased to learn that the legislature approved a bill providing for malls and landscaping of Cities in a system similar to a paving district, the costs assessed to the property owners.
That ought to be a pretty snappy indicator of what could be proposed for Central Avenue in Nebraska City.
Otoe county must be the home of the "marrying men."
At least Marvin Hoffman, the county agent, must feel that way. Home extension agents Maribeth Sell and Paula Strong left their jobs at Syracuse to wed Otoe county men and now Connie Hulsebus will be married this summer to an Otoe county man.
Betcha Marv will be calling on Connie for some 4-H leadership help this year.
Petitions will be circulated soon in Nebraska City with the hopes of obtaining 60 per cent or more of the signatures of residents in favor of a watershed district.
It's called the Squaw Creek-Camp Creek Watershed and it has possibilities that mean soil benefits to our neighbors surrounding Nebraska City . . . and podner them thar is our folk!
North Platte will build a four-year liberal arts college on the Cody Ranch.
This education business surely must be a good investment for a community. It seems more colleges are being built than closed . . .
Let's go Nebraska City. Peru State is no competition. The state would be tickled pink to get class load relief.
