Aberdeen, S.D. is Mrs. Tine Harbaugh's hometown, but she is not acquainted with the famous Fischer family, parents of the quints. Mrs. Harbaugh, who works at St. Mary's hospital, took her nurse's training at St. Luke's hospital in Aberdeen where the quints were born. She also knows the now famous Doctor James Berbos.
One day on a regular visit to St. Mary's hospital I mentioned to the gals in the office that it had been some time since twins were born at St. Mary's and suggested something be done about it.
Sure enough . . . the next day The Holland twins were born.
I've really been pouring it on now what with quads and quints born over the world.
Wonder if Nebraska Citians would shower a mother with gifts if she should give birth to triplets at either hospital?
Kenneth Clinefelter, editor of the Lincoln Telephone News, stopped in Nebraska City the other day for a visit and a look-see at the dial plant construction job and other telephone activities.
Kenny and I used to whip up a couple of storms in the news and photography business for the Fairbury Daily News in 1948 when I was attending junior college and working nights at the newspaper.
We learned developing film and making prints in do-it-yourself fashion in the Fairbury police department's darkroom in the wee hours of night after work.
Just think
If the city sells Nuckolls Square, the city can have money to improve parks (which I hope includes adding on to Steinhart park and hard-surfacing the drive) and the Housing Authority will have the best location for the senior citizens' housing project. In addition, if the school board sells the Junior High property, the school may get the elementary unit needed and the new owner will put property on the tax rolls and create another payroll.
Stir a little Steinhart Terminal in that bowl and mister, we've got a pretty fine mixture of activity.
Thanks to Irvin Griepenstroh, Dunbar, and Henry Kreifels, Syracuse, I'm on the air with my citizens band rig.
For you folks not interested in shortwave radio gear, you're missing a lot of enjoyment. I have a 10 channel unit in my home and a five channel unit in my car.
Five watts is the maximum power allowed under FCC regulations. I'm getting eight to nine miles distance and am working for 20 which will be about the best expected.
My temporary call letters are KGH 1327 Units 10 or 12. I'm operating on Channel 3.
