I think (Toastmasters say don't "think" — "Know") they should give TV awards for the best commercials.
Here is my vote.
— PLAYTEX LIVING BRAS. Where else can a youngster gaze upon something of such exquisite taste? How wonderfully educational for children. Moreover, those bras have that certain something that give "lift."
A. F. Woodard, field representative for the state tax commissioner, said in Nebraska City recently that his mother crossed the Missouri river at Nebraska City in 1871 and settled in Thayer county.
Mr. Woodard's late wife was related to the Frank Olmsteds of Nebraska City.
First Christians will have a new pastor soon and will build a brand-spanking new parsonage and church office on two lots in Greggsport . . . Understand the Rev. Paul Schmidt family will be leaving soon . . . As we approached the tornado hit area in Kearney Hill the other day, I looked first at St. Benedict's Catholic church. The large cross atop the church (built by Ralph Boerner), was not damaged.
What does a pastor do? He teaches, though he must solicit his own classes. He heals, though without pills or knife. He is sometimes a lawyer, often a social worker, something of an editor, a bit of a philosopher and entertainer, a salesman, a decorative piece at public functions and he is supposed to be a scholar.
He visits the sick, marries people, buries the dead, labors to console those who sorrow and to admonish those who sin, and tries to stay sweet when chided for not doing his duty. He plans programs, appoints committees when he can get them and spends considerable time in keeping people out of each other's hair. Betwen time he prepares a sermon and preaches it on Sunday.
Then on Monday he smiles when someone roars, "what a job — one day a week."
Bill Dawson stepped out of the city commission just in time — before the dogs start running.
Congratulations to Gary Kruger for winning the state distributive education award. Wm Abernathy, DE teacher, deserves a pat on the back for working his class not only into jobs in Nebraska City, but into top awards on the state level. That's a fine compliment for Nebraska City.
