(111 isms "Flowers for the Living," seems to be the policy of our good friend Mike Lutz who journeyed through our front door last Wednesday morning with a great array of gladiolus, getting us all in readiness for our Farmers' Day visitors. Mike has been a great lover of flowers for many years, spe cializing in Glads. He has reached the peak of perfection if we are any judge of floral beauty and we, here and now, bestow upon him the great leather medal, hand carved, and our deep appreciation for his thoughtfulness. It was interesting to note while making way for the new front at the Swatek Hardware store that castings for iron pil lars and posts in the old front that has graced this place of business for so many years, was cast by the old Cass County Iron Works located where Stander's constructed their new building two years ago. Few local people remember this foundry that was a part of the industrial section of the city for so many years, but they at one time did a large business in special castings over the mid west. After removing the front and preparing for installation of new frame work for the new, Herman Tiekotter, contractor, noticed considerable black sand pouring from a small hole in the side of one of the large iron posts. Investigation revealed that it was the original sand used for moulding the cylinder and had never been removed following casting. He stated I that in all his buiidi ence he had never before found a casting from which the work man had failed to remove his moulding sand. Vve doubt that that kind of workmanship had anything to do with the folding of the old Cass County Iron Works, but it brought back memories to many old timers in this area who had dreams of the city becoming a great industrial center Few are left that can recall this en terprise as well as the old en gine works that was housed in this building. Both were thriv ing manufacturing concerns un til the advent of the electric motor and fabricated steel that spelled finis to many like con cerns over the country M A few of these old timers may yet live to see their dreams come true if some of the announce ments and rumors of the past few weeks are not to be dis counted. With the reopening of the old Graymor plant here Monday by Style Craft of Oma ha that will put some 50 to 75 local women to work, the splen did prospects of the great Nitro gen Division of Allied Chemical and Dye Company locating their major plant at Platts mouth's door, a renewed inter est in housing that nromises to bring upwards of 100 new homes ' and duplexes to the city, there are indications that a lot of life is left in the old girl yet. Our good friend K. P. Pence didn't forget us while enjoying a two week's vacation from the insurance business in the Black Hills with his family. Opening our mail here Sunday morning, out rolled a copy of the Black Hills Pioneer, an exact replica of the first daily newspaper pub lished in that area. News items are reproduced without change I t.'JW' " 11 H'WmP'Miiiiiii nmi iiiii urn iihum i nn nym i Q Inii in i mf i -- ' -r.-....':.y.-i..v.A. ,it.,...,..,....i'. : I South Ashland Mrs. Ivan Armstrong FRFRH.FROZFN SUBMICROSCOPY Using a new freeze- ; drying technique he developed, Dr. Robley Williams, professor of j biophysics in the University of California at Berkeley, made these .'pictures of the submicroscopic world with an electro microscope, j At left is an organism freeze-dried and at right is a similar one air-dried, by the conventional method.

Headlines announced the big battle of the Little Big Horn and the confirmation of the death of General Custer, together with a picture of the famed army of ficer, and the wiping out of his command. Calamity Jane came in for more praise in the an nouncement of proof as an "Angel of Mercy" when she res cued Pete Sinzky from the wrath the world or the atomic age, he preferred to pass on to his just deserts naturally. We went through one of those California Cocktails early one j morning a few years ago while spending a winter out there and can appreciate his laxity in rushing for the camera. It took us three hours to catch our breath and three days to clean ourselves up following three '"shocks" as the natives refer of a bull-whacker who had I to them.

Nursed back to health by Ca lamity, Pete probably lived to a ripe old age, well pickled in C. Jane's Deadwood concoctions of that day. C. E. Ehellenbarger, the Sin clair Tycoon over at the corner of Sixth and Avenue A, got his family safely home from a two week's motor cruise on the west coast Sunday, having lost some of his enthusiasm for the Cali fornia sunshine after experienc ing the earthquake of last week from a vantage point only 10 miles distant from the center of the 8.0 seismograph recording. "Shelly" is still somewhat bug-eyed and stammers a little while relating some of the high lights of the event that killed 11 people and did untold millions in damage. For four and a half minutes the Missus and he huddled with Mike and Jerome with the land waves and watch ing dozens of high-tension transformers explode in flashes of blue flame over the country side. Camera enthusiast though he is, Clair failed to get a shot of this remarkable exhibition of Mother Nature and told us con fidentially that if that was an example of the coming end of candle to a good old California earthquake.
