THE PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA, SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL tg PAGE EIGHT Thursday, April 15, iy&4 "Do you handle f tameless lighters?' .n ri . uuuimML ,sms Death of Senator Dwight Gris wold Monday in Washington came as a severe shock to his many friends in Nebraska. We have known him for many years long before he succeeded in becoming Nebraska's governor after three attempts. He was always a man of character honest and dependable during his many years of service to his state and nation. His loss will be keenly felt in Republican po litical circles of Nebraska. Death of Griswold caused a great stir in the ranks of Ne braska Republicans. Even be fore his body could be lowered into the grave, there were under, currents of attempts to put a finger on his successor. Platts mouth even entered the picture Wednesday through one of the state papers carrying a iist of names of prospective appointees, listing Henry J. Schneider, for mer president of nattsmouth State Bank and now Chairman of the Board of Directors, and a long time political wheel-horse in Republican circles. -K While we wouldn't be adverse having a Senator from our home town, knowing that Henry would be on the job, carry out his du ties without fear or favor, and always have his "listener" tuned in, wre think Nebraska Republi cans will make a great mistake if they fail to name Mrs. Dwight Griswold to fill out her late hus band's unexpired term. Mrs. Griswold is a lady of extreme wisdom, has campaigned with her husband for years and can be depended upon to follow the party down the line. This would surely meet approval of the rank and file, would throw the Sena torial spot wide open to the field and let the people decide who shall represent them for the next six years in Washington. What a campaign that would be. With Plattsmouth's annual clean up campaign drawing near, we liked this little item that appeared in Art Sweet's column, "Community Chatter' in the Nebraska City News-Press: "Al though the neighbors on both sides of them and those across the street have neatly kept yards, the X's yard always looks like a junk yard. Maybe the X's don't care, but the neighbors get tired of looking at the one yard in the neighborhood that is an eyesore. Evidently the X's never heard of the old Polish proverb: 'If everyone swept in front of his house, .the whole town would be clean'." There is a good chance kids in Plattsmouth and this area will have, a roller skating rink for their summer enjoyment .this year If present plans go through. Owner- of an outdoor rink was in the city Wednesday, has made application for a license and is seeking a location. This is one wholesome recreation most par ents will welcome with open arms. We hope those who are contacted relative to licensing and location will cooperate. Plattsmouth can use this enterprise. Y THROWING HOME Chi cago White Sox shortstop Chico Carrasquel gets well off the ground to throw home dur ing a recent practice session. The American League team is in spring training at Camp Pale Hose, near Tampa, Fla. day along with a nice letter commending us for such a nice newspaper and wishing us con tinued success, which 'makes us very happy. The lady from Mill Valley (a pretty sounding name) says that all is forgiven. She thinks that Miami night club stole their stunt from Mary Lasswell's book, "Suds, etc.," as wTe informed her that we had never stolen any thing in our lives but a kiss or two, and at our age, and the state of matrimony we're in, probably never would again un less, of course, we should ever come to Mill Valley. She. continued: "Well, if you want to kiss Grandma when you come to Mill Valley, you may. You remind me of my session with the Social Security. It was necessary for me to go to S. F. to the Federal building after my husband died, to get the matter straight. (It took 2 Hrs.) The last thing was, "Now if you get married again you must let us know at once." I said, "My hus band died one week ago today, we had been married for 54 years and this is my 79th birthday. When I marry again I will send you engraved invitations." My checks come: "Mary R. Rand an unremarried widow." I still am wondering where they found that word. It is not in the dic tionary. "UNREMARRIED My Land!" That's just our luck. About the time we enter a correspond ence with some unattached fe male we learn she's a gray- ! haired , grandma and 79 years old. However, in our condition, we would probably explode kiss ing one younger than that. Too, we learned a long time ago, "Where there's frost on the roof, generally there's a fire in the furnace." RRF Having sold supplies to local government institutions in Ne braska for a time a good num ber of years ago, we're always inclined to cast a suspicious eye on any order that has been di verted to an outside concern without giving local merchants, manufacturers, or supplies at least an opportunity to submit a bid . We've seen a lot of suit cases, clothes, entertainment chits, and even cash on occasion, change hands in our time. M That "Suds In Your Eye" lady out California way (the one ac cusing Bob Walling and this WTiter of stealing that little par agraph that appeared in Read er's Digest at the turn of the year) sent us the book the other Two Weeks Left To Complete FCIC Applications Only two weeks remain for completing applications for fed eral crop insurance, according to Albm E. Chovanec, Cass county agent. Deadline for completing ap plications is April 30, just two weeks hence. To assist farmers in complet ing their applications.
