'HE PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA, SEMI-WECKLY JOURNAL PAr.E SIX Thursday, September 24, 1053 Bomemeser's Credited With Top Job Cass County Commissioner Herman Bornemeier, Elmwood, and his road building crew are credited with building a maxi mum of service at a minimum of cost into mail routes in that area .according to the October "Nebraska Agriculture", official publication' of the Nebraska Farm Bureau Federation. The illustrated article, dealing with the Cass County Commis sioner's achievements, declares that in a period of two years with a crew of. half a dozen men, a total of more than 80 miles of grades nnd 35 to 40 miles of gravel and rock surface has been built. These mail routes were described as little more than ' cow trails" when Com- ! missioner Bornemeier and his j crew began work January 1, ! 1951. i The general plan of the west- j ern Cass county operation Is to j allow newly graded mall routes j to '"weather"' for a year or so , before gravel is applied, but even without gravel, the center of the roads are built up so that 1 rain runs off and even the dirt I roads are reasonably all-weather.' One aim of the program is to lift grades high enough so that snow will blow off. The western Cass county road builders, depending upon the amount of trees nnd under growth to be cleared from the roadside, build a road in two to T3SS23 Edwin T.

In the main, work consists of cleaning out the ditches, after removing trees and undergrowth that has grown in with the years, and elevating the accumulation into the roadbed. Commissioner Bornemeier gives credit for the success of his program to his crew. He says that his half dozen men do more work than was formerly done by a twelve-man crew. The crew members reflect Borne mfier's pride in doing a good job. The western Cass county dis trict comprises 40 percent of the county area. Members of the regular crew are: Al Latchley, foreman; El mer Seeman, Wallace Riechert, Frank Turner and Ronald Tun nison. County Engineer Glenn Johnson works closely with the Bornemeier crew in planning route development. NATIONAL PARKS A total of 45,000,000 tourists visited America's national parks last year and the Park Service predicts that business this year will exceed last year's record intake of $30,000,000. Both the number of visitors and the gross business done by concession aires in the 181 areas adminis tered by the Park Service, in cluding 28 parks have grown rapidly during the past ten years.

See your GAS Appliance Dealer tomorrow! But I'm wond?rins if we haven't left something out. A very important factor in our lives yet often left out, and more often misunderstood. "Oh, I know what you're thinking about preacher, God." Yes, friend, you're right, I am thinking of God. He's the one who brings us the rain and fur nished the sun that makes this the richest area in this part of the country. Why do you know where I come from the folks haven't made a crop in three years. If they had had half of the rain you folks have had in the past year they would have put oh a demonstration that would have made old King Korn look sick. But they would have left God out too. But you know I'm not so in terested in just talking about God I'd like to have everyone in this area know Him personally. He says He'll grant any request we make to Him in the name of His Son Jesus Christ. You know that's. not bad insurance to have in times like these. Here we have to key that will give us a rich and full life with all the ioy we can hold, and that key is Christ. This is how it works . . . "He that hath the Son hath life and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life," we read that in I John 5:15( then Jesus (the only Son of God) says in John 14:6, "I am the way, the truth and the life no man comes to the Father but by me." Now the key unlocks the door when we have faith to take God at his word (the Bible) and believe on His Son, then our insurance is in effect and we can go to God direct and ask what we will and He'll give it to us. Read Mark 11:24. - OK. I'll let y ni go as soon as I make this suggestion: next I year when you and I plan to get together aroui.d old King Korn what say we make room for God. Maybe we could take time out each day of the celebration to look to God Li the name of His only Son to five Him thanks for a wonderful crop. , Just a thought, am I too far but of line?
