We will not claim, however, it is . a backbreaking endeavor. The writer makes errors and likes to hear about them. They can be discussed intelligently and often help us determine the tenor of public thought. As an example the recent story about the Plattsmouth-College View football game stated that Brook houser made the final touchdown which brought the count to 26-13. Actually, Jim Alkire carried the ball across for Plattsmouth. But with mud coating numbers and uniforms it was difficult to identify players even to teams. As a matter of fact, it was broadcast over the public address system avers even to teams.Asyn-.ew. .tC. a matter of fact, it was broadcast over the public address system that Brookhouser had scored. That caused some amusement on the Piatt bench because mud-covered young Brookhouser was sitting on the sideline at the time. His team mates jokingly congratulated him on his ability to be two places at once. Equivocally, it must be said that , overlooked comment of the week included the juicy barbecued pork served at the 40 and 8 club on Am istice evening. The hog was donated by Phillip G. Lepert, fath er of the first Plattsmouth man to lose his life in World War II. The '.reat committee responsible for the affair's success included Ralph und Bronson Timm and Bernard Kubicka.

Grosner held no brief for the cotton skirt makers and the way they'd .hoisted the price of their products, but he did say the suit and overcoat makers had done an excellent job, despite the shiny pants situation.
