Stranger Comes By Margaret DinRnian Journal Woman Fditor A stranger on Main Street stop ued and asked me the other day "What do you think of Platts mouth as a whole i"' wcu &n, I just up and told him right there and then Plattsmouth wasn't a "hole" at all! Now, this here fella' looked like an up town guy with his fancy travel ing togs and all and his big car. - - But I wasn't about to be outdone by his 50 cent words. Why, I told him about my friend who moved here from an other state when his doctor gave him just six months to live, he wanted to get a little taste of heaven among friendly folk. I told him about all the corn we grew in Cass County and the reason he saw so many healthy looking people in this town was due to all the vitamins we get from our home-grown vegetables and fruit. I told him about my farmer friends and their flocks of hens which lay only double yolk eggs, and the bumper crop they'll have this year and he was informed of the 4-H Clubs. You should have seen him stare when I pointed out all the business houses up and down Main Street that have all put new fronts on their places of business. - - and I said see that bench over there in front of the Shining Parlor? Those men sit ting out front are lonesome for their friend who runs the place who has taken a little vacation. They come there to that bench every day, hoping for this pro prietor's return, who has already had another vacation this year. Not only that, I continued, not many places can you still buy a cup of coffee for a nickel, but you CAN in Plattsmouth- Yessir - - a small town is the place to raise children-and then I told him about the summer re creation program which is plan ned for Plattsmouth youngsters, teaching them many crafts, baseball, and how to be good citizens - our future Plattsmouth leaders. We boast of thirteen churches, and five new elementary schools, many are building new houses here, because thy intend to stay in Plattsmouth forever. Suddenly, I realized this stran ger here had been getting it from me with both barrels, so in due respect I asked him where he hailed from! Over that nickel cup of coifee which I invited him in for, he confessed he was a former Cass County boy, had his stomach full of big city life and was com- sure wo So Right For School 1 I w w r :!
