It Happened in Hollywood In Hollywood, a street sponsors a radio program. The street is Holly wood boulevard, which sponsors a program over KMPF. called Holly wood Boulevard Quiz. It's a man-on-the-street type of broadcast, but as can be expected of anything emanating from. Holly wood, the Hollywood "man-on-the-strett" isn't apt to be much like the ave'sge citizen. For instance, we've heard inter views with a Filipino movie star, a Cherokee Indian princess , a gag writer for Bob Hope, an employee of Sran Laurel, a champion lady vr9"ter. a long distance bicycle champion, a movie director and writer. Such are the-man-and-wom-an-on-the-street of Hollywood, al though we must admit we did hear a Mrs. Sorenson from Omaha, once. Hal Hodge, the announcer, says tradition has it that if one stands on the corner of Hollywood and Vine, long enough, everyone one ever knew, will pass. Soooo we expect to hear somebody from Plattsmouth on Hollywood Eoulevard Quiz, any day. ion Olson and Jack Barton (there arc probably others since this was writ- iten) as recent recruits to the fast- growing Plattsmouth colony in Washington, D. C. We think Floyd shames this col umn's roving reporter department, after reading that he has visited Jim and Lois Mead) Comstock of Bar berton, Ohio, and Midshipman John B. Livingston, .ir of Annapolis. As befitting the city from whence all defense orders stem, Washington is highly keyed up. Floyd writes: "These are certainly hectic, fast movjng days in Washington. The population is swelling about as fast as a bruise on the head. The city is crowded witn government worKers and the extra thousands of tourists make it worse. They 'staggered the working hours of the different departments in an attempt to lessen the traffic." Ed. note Just the same. Floyd, we'll trade you the Lockheed afternoon traffic blitz, sight unseen, for the jam in Wash ington. Floyd's letter sort of sent the writer of this column into deep thought. We got to thinking of the Plattsmouth contingent in Philadel phia, working on defense orders; of the countless Plattsmouth boys work ing for Lockheed, Douglas and other aircraft companies building a strong air defense for our nation; of the many Plattsmouth people in the na tion's capital, helping to coordinate our actense enoris. Yes, we thought of all that, and then multiplied their efforts by all the other small towns in the U. S. that have furnished similar man and woman power to meet the national emergency. We came to the obvious but heart-warming conclusion that when Mr. Lincoln said this was a government of the people, by the people and for the people he darn well knew what he was talking about. 470 N.

Take for instance, the ilion farm at El Monte. Or, the alli gator farm, the butterfly farm, the chinchilla farm, or even the ostrich farm. If a Nebraskan told people he was a lion farmer, they would say: "Yep, you are a lyirt farmer, all right." For in Nebraska, farms are really farms.
