The North 40 Development Corporation offers you a choice of the property and style of building if you locate on the hill.

As a special bonus, you'll get the HighCountry's special observation post to watch the geese movement each year.

The T-V commercial about the "cold" coming into the house and taking over the easy chair, is not so funny now . . . s-n-i-f-f-f.

If you are one of the 1,500 people who received notices from NC Federal Savings and Loan concerning monthly deposits on homes, rest assured the mechanics of the increase will work out.

Savings and Loan says changes in escrow have, in a number of cases, necessitated increasing those monthly deposits to keep the accounts out of the previously too-often, red.

In effect, S-L officials say that if taxes and insurance stay the same next year, you'll have a surplus.

A new computer accounting system has enables S-L to update those accounts, the fellas say.

Scimitar Shriners in Nebraska City who form the "T" patrol are considering changing to some other type of parade vehicle.

There have been suggestions of sport convertibles, motorcycles, six-wheeled amphibians and golf carts.

The little Model T's used so many years by the Shriners are reaching the retirement point, but just what the replacement will be, if any, remains undetermined.

The movement of the river ice this year, at least so far, has not been as spectacular as it was a year or two ago when Clayton Graham had his eyes opened by what seemed like an explosion.

This year the temperature rise has permitted smoother thawing. And that should make the farmers pleased. That fast ice movement takes out just about everything in its way and forces lowland flooding.

Legionnaires of Adam Schellinger Post No. 8 will be tootin' their horn in a couple of weeks marking the 50th birthday of the Legion.

Post Commander Chas. J. Gude, Jr., has several committees working to plan a special salute to veterans. Legionnaires are working with the auxiliary to make the day something special.

Mrs. Tom (Myrna) Powell has been compiling the history of the post in cooperation with Adjutant Jesse Parker. Anyone with any material to contribute is invited to contact Commander Gude, Adjutant Parker or Mrs. Powell.

To — Good Ole' Mister Wilson in Denver:

The sign on the east wall says, $7,950.

Someone asked: "How can rescue squadsmen stand the sight of blood and the horror of pain?"

It's pretty tough. Rescue squadsmen are just plain citizens with a little Red Cross training. We always work in pairs. Maybe we need the support of a partner, I don't know.

Many of us often feel like vomiting before starting mouth-to-mouth on a lifeless body or while removing a broken and bent body from the twisted steel of a car.

But, somehow duty beckons more than a wishy-washy stomach.
