r NO 9 VOLUME 62 Casscades e never knew there were very many readers of this column until it failed to appear on the 26th. The resultant inquiries establish ed a conviction that the effort is worthwhile. The word effort is hastily re tracted because wo never consider putting word? on paper difficult. A column of this sort should be commonplace and fashioned to meet the thoughts c readers. Pro duction should be in an easy fash ion. Uppermost in our mind at the start of the New Year is a verse irom Isaiah LI wo read yester day. We cai not dismiss its sig nificance without writing about it. The verse w;;s "AH Flesh is grass and all the goodlLiess thereof is as the flower of the field." Some time we would like to be capable of writing n novel entitled "Flow ers of the Field." Such a book would have to be set in a small community because r.iral settlements pre the flower beds of America. From rural ar ras our national growth has tr.ught, com-! the bouquets of ros es or the orchids that have made our America beautiful. Without recognizing the fact small cities towns and farm com munities are principally concern ed with brotherlv interest " some thing: akin to brotnerlv love. Youn Tters within their enviroment see paraded bi'ire their eves contin ual examples of neighborly kind ness. The destitute are cared for. ihe youne mother is a mattr of i oncem to evervone. When some tne dies the.- ar many nighbors jsr.d friend3 to lend their sympathy, (".i forinds t lend their svmnathv. n'vir0' in such things as food shel ter elothinf? and companionship is an accepted custom. Children who grow nn in thes Amenofn flower gardens becomr fi"- t"'i" great rteople. Counled with their capabilities is a sense j of repnsibiiitv to their fe"ow men. They often become leaders jn their re "pectiveelds. but oth ers recognize them, for their hon ty and sincerity. 7n cities where the grass stows ri?h in world lv lusts small town crs are as obvious as beauteous roses dotting a hillside of tumble weeds. They are deeply im bued with an American way of life that can not be blotted out. Since the start of the war there has been an alavmimr migration from farm to citv. Consequentlv ruics fre now in ?n iwoar of ov erpopulation. The stability of homes and moral standards has been overshadowed by insecurity. Aside from the commercial an cle our pmall towns and cities should recognize their importance in the future developmnt of a 'great nation But. if they thirst for commercial support and local enthusiasm that too should iven serious consideration. be Civic proiects churches schools business institution." and everyday small town life should be eiven overv support. Rural communities have every mora weapon at their command. .ouisville Fiv Flays bpringtield LOUISVILLE The high school basketball team plays at Spring field Friday night The team de- feated Gretna appearance. 17 16 in its last Strictly Local- Holiday Season Brings Many Activities For Families Here Mr. and Mrs. Robert Tucker left Tuesday for Amherst.

Plattsmouth Lad Scores In One Of Many Bowl Tilts Hy The Cub Dear Boss: The football bn't games aren't exactly local news but they're not entirely unlocal. Tais is on account of things called "pools" of the waterless variety. There was at least one local person who picked a lily lrom one of these pools ami a couple of others came close. Coming "close" however is like catching the fish you don't land. Besides evervone hereabouts al so wanted to s.-e Illinois larrup I the sox off ''('LA s-i.d that is what happened. The score was 45-14 j which sounds like a basketball runaway. Midwestei ners can again .hold their heads hich when thev ! visit fog?v California.
