Nebraska City's newest "merchants," an organized group of little Misses, will make deliveries soon of their product — Girl Scout cookies.
The cookie sale, a staggering undertaking, is a mainstay in the Girl Scout program. It's dollars and cents that add up to large figures.
It is really a sort of contribution you can taste . . .
Sam Metcalf is spearheading the celebration for the first towboat up the river this season, hopefully Saturday afternoon.
There will be a program presentation of Admiral certificates and a general welcome kicking off the navigation season for 1967.
Reminds me of the time Charlie Williams and I awaited a towboat . . . it finally arrived about 4 a.m. P.S. Sam, call Colonel Ryan out of bed if a similar situation should develop.
A community school program for Nebraska City on a smaller scale than the program at Flint, Mich., may be a coming thing.
All ready there is a father-son basketball night once a week at Sixth Street school. Indications are that community school programs would be popular at Nebraska City and could be scheduled in one building to accommodate everyone.
Sounds great. Let's give it a whirl.

Hotel Grand is getting a face lifting and A. M. Stephenson, owner, has all ready completed extensive remodeling and painting of the interior.

Football fans will be pleased when the stadium job at Hayward park is completed. It'll be pretty snazzy, complete with a new track and new seating for 1,500.
Voters authorized the money for the job in a special election last fall and the schoolboard is keeping its promise and getting the job done. The board has learned that the job will be quite expensive although just how much has not been determined. It was estimated that a complete job including enlarging the track to 440 could run near $50,000.
The track work may be delayed, but the football facilities, light moving and what have-you, will be completed for fall games.
And with the Apple Bowl coming this fall, Nebraska City will host fans in spacious facilities in historic Hayward park.
Nebraska City volunteer firemen are relaxing now after several nerve wracking weeks of dry ground and especially strong winds.
The shower a week ago and the one Thursday night pretty well combined with the spring greening-up to relax the fear of disastrous grass fires in strong winds.
The much-talked about fight of Cassius Clay and ex-champ Floyd Patterson ought to be one for the books. Patterson is a battered old champ in ring circles. He's 32 and reportedly a millionaire. He held the heavyweight crown in 1965.
Clay wants to squeeze in a quickie fight before Uncle Sam substitutes boxing gloves for an M-14.
