Thirteen fiillfan dollars the s sum the Treasury must raise Wit in the Second War Loan drive. is only one sixth of the eeti. mated cost of the war for tb 'iiscat yea of 1943, Just Talk l From the recent flood waters evolved a discussion concerning the waters of that record breaking year in 1881. The exact cause of the wa ters in the other century is a bit nebulous. Some say ice in the gorge a few miles down the river backed the waters up to the unparelled depths. Others refute tbis elaim, say ing the flood was due to a June rise and that ice could not have been in volved that late. Emil Weyrich first suggested the possibility of ice in the gorge. We followed Mr. Weyrich's suggestion that we call Oliver Dovey, resident since 1863, and find out what he had to say about the matter. Mr. Dovey had no recollection of ice in the gorge. It was his idea that the waters were due to a regular June rise. Of course is this were the case, it would have been a bit late for ice. But later we came up against those persons who said the flood was in the spring. The whole con troversy may be settled soon, though, for MrM. Weyrich has asked a Burlington engineer to consult the records in Lincoln and enlight en us on the subject. From merchants and customers alike we hear the complaint that the new pennies are too easily mistaken for dimes. WTith that same silver color and a size comparable to the dime, persons are liable to pounce upon it in their haste, and carry it away for the piece of higher value. We are told that the extent to which the new penny can deceive was re cently tested in Omaha. Here an in terested person made the rounds buying cigarettes which cost 15c. He laid a penny and a nickle on the counter, and according to reports could have walked away with the cigarettes in most cases if he had been dishonest. A butcher was recently amazed to find that a woman customer had not beard of meat rationing. The customer put in a big" order for meat, and the butcher told her she couldn't have it because it was froz en. "Oh, that's all right," replied the lady, "I can thaw it out." .
