"Dutch" Haley was spirited into a meeting room recently in Yankton, S. D., where his character was an open discussion for a few humorous moments.
When it was all over, Dutch had a chance to defend himself and was received into the "Ancient Order of River Rats."
Evan Nolte, former Nebraska City Chamber manager and now the Yankton Chamber executive, joined in the fun and greetings.
Sid Metcalf at Pioneer Theater said signatures are being sought on petitions to keep television free.
Pay TV has been authorized by the Federal Communications Commission effective June 12 and "unless Congress enacts legislation prior to that date, prohibiting Pay TV, it will become a reality and mark the beginning of the end of the public's right to free TV viewing," he said.
Shut - ins, the aged or sick may not be able to pay for TV programs. In other cases, parents would be hard pressed to pay the TV viewing bills for their children, let along their own, he said.
"People have a right to free airwaves which should not be usurped for the benefit of special interests," Metcalf said.
Commander Bucher and the crew of the Pueblo were commended practically the moment they were returned from communist hands.
This, despite the fact, that an American commander handed over his ship to the enemy.
The board of inquiry wanted to crack the whip and recommended so — the Navy boss, however, ruled that out . . . there's been enough punishment.
Well, he may be right. Any man who has been in an enemy prison deserves every consideration.
But there is another thought.
It seems to me that the captain of a ship is like a great warrior in command of troops. And in this case, the warrior hoisted the white flag.
One Naval officer wanted to know why the Pueblo couldn't have been scuttled (destroyed) by pouring diesel fuel on that secret gear and lighting a match. I wonder also.
Commander Bucher has had enough strain. He's only human.
Only, don't let him command the battleship New Jersey . . . it's the only one left in the world and the communists don't give Green Stamps.
The acoustics in the Junior High auditorium are about as ridiculous as any we've experienced.
There's plenty of sound, but at the band concert the other night it was questionable just what kind of sound.
Perhaps its trouble in our own making.
There was a time when the Junior High (previously used as the high school) auditorium was the best we had . . . and then came the chop-chopping.
What was once an auditorium and study hall has now been chopped into . . . one corner for a (ha) library, another for hot lunch and another for a paneled and carpeted guidance office (we didn't have a guidance director this year).
The stage is one big mass of lumber, a wall built to enclose the stage as a band practice room. (The old practice room is now a science room).
You've just had the tour.
Senator Fulbright of Arkansas said the other day that he is not too alarmed about student movements. He said Americans would have a lot more concern if those same students were raising their hands and saying 'Hell Hitler.'
Good Lord, I should hope not.
The Vatican's abolishment of St. Christopher from the many saints is also felt by Protestants.
St. Christopher medals adorned cockpits of bombers and fighters manned by Protestants, Catholics and Jews.
The medal also has a sentimental place for me.
I still have a St. Christopher medal given to me during my years in the service. And it is still attached to the chain along with my dog and blood type tags worn around my neck for four years.
