Holy Toledo! A stolen item: What happens when Batman and Robin get smacked by a truck?
You get Flatman and Ribbon.
Vice President Humphrey said the other day he started to make a career as a newsman, but gave it up because the standards were so high.
That might be a bit debatable.
What probably really happened was when the editor saw the first byline — BY HUBERT HORATIO HUMPHREY, JR. — he said . . . o-u-t . . . out . . . out . . . out!
Now, if that newspaper had been printed by offset method, tiger, that would have been a snap.
If we want to get rich, we ought to form a corporation, get a loan from Lady Bird and do what the nation wants — clean up the junk.
If a person could come up with an inexpensive way of destroying a junked car, there certainly would be a market for cheap metal.
The other day you read a story about a man who killed an eight-year-old child, was sent to a mental institution, released in a couple of years and was picked up in California-as a rabble rouser in an anti-Viet Nam war policy picket.
That just doesn't ring right.
There must be something wrong with us or with our way of life. That makes me a believer in capital punishment and makes me think about the parents of the child.
It might be well worth mentioning how the man murdered the child — he dropped her from a six-story apartment building.
It was a gorgeous day for a parade.
Arbor Day 1966 in Nebraska City out-classed the previous years for weather and certainly a fine program.
They tell me Mort Porter was shaking in his boots when he first read the "showers" forecast.
But that parade . . . and those Shriners. They just about occupied the whole parade with their dozen Red Mustang convertibles, motorcycles, race cars and gold Chrysler Imperial convertibles.
But for all the show, there is something very special about Shriners — they are dedicated to helping crippled children and podner, in that field they are perhaps the leaders across the nation.
Nebraska City has its Shrine circus, there are other circuses across the state and the state group holds the North-South football game.
And every penny goes to hospitals to help children.
