D I T ORI AL S Saving Nature's Beauty An interesting development took place near Stowe, Vermont, recently in volving highway .signs and the beautiful .scenery that prevails in this region. It seems that Hob Bourdon, a resident to Stowe, decided to take action against the growing number of highway signs in the area. Bourdon, like so many others, feels that highway signs are marring the natural beauty of our countryside and thinks that something should be done to limit their presence or have them removed, on oc casion. Thereupon, Bourdon began a one man crusade. lie began with a list of some forty signs within the town limits of Stowe. Prac tically all of those signs were put up by local lodge or motel operators (Stowe is a famous skiing resort town.) With the list of signs, Bourdon call ed upon the owners of the lodges and mot els., He explained that the scenery the bill boards were blocking was more valuable to the community than the billboards. In almost every instance, the business men agreed to take down their signs if their competitors also took down their signs. With this accomplished, and with the aid of other town citizens, Bourdon led a group to the site of the various signs and tore them down as fast as he could. We point this incident out because it could be used to advantage in other sec tions of the country. Or, learning the lesson from it, limits could be put on the erection of signs in certain areas areas of na tural beauty where the scenery should not be marred by more and more commerciali zation. The Commando The adventures and exploits of the greatest commando leaders of World War 1 are back in the limelight, so to speak, as a new world threat bears down upon the United States. Those who remember the White Babbit, in France, Otto Skorzeny, of the Musolini rescue, and the SAS of the British Eighth Army, in Africa, under Co lonel Stirling, or U. S. commando leaders and operations, will appreciate the grow ing importance of this type of warfare. In the past, the leaders who touch off Wars have largely gone unharmed by the enemy commando. The British tried to cap ture Field Marshal Erwin Rommel with a daring desert raid (in 1911 or 1942) but missed him. But Hitler, Churchill, and other war time leaders never faced a determined company of parachute commando raiders bursting through guards after dropping by parachute into their residence. It may not be so next time. Books re cently published on the exploits of the great commando leaders (note-ably "Com mando Extraordinary") give the frank view that enemy headquarters, leaders and top staffs, will be the object of fast raiding parties in the next war if there is one. Bad that been the case in World War I, and could the Allies have succeeded in killing Adolph Hitler, millions of lives might have been saved. For it was the will of this one man that kept Europe and the world at war after 19 13, and Italy's sur-. render. -- i&'ff&l The Plattsmouth Journal Official County and City Paper ESTABLISHED IN 1881 PubMitd Semi-Weekly, Mondays and Thursdays, at 410 Main Street, Plattsmouth, Cass County, Nebr.

The year 1958, like 1938, could be the year before the storm breaks. People like to be told how smart they are, even if they know they're dumb. Frankness, even though commend able and courageous, usually boomerangs. The man who is shy can count on be ing run over by the "uncrushed" genera tion. Gossip, and those who know how to use it, are frightful things in small com munities. Our nomination for fighter of the year: Ezra Benson, who is going to take on several hundred Congressmen in the next few months. The United States, if its world pro grams do not constitute dynamic thought and modern thinking, may lose more than the armaments race. Only twelve and a half years after World War I we face a military threat far more ominous than that of Adolph Hilter. bv,,,v.v.v.v,v.w Down Memory Lane :::::::::::?? yr YEARS ACO Cass county suffered a distinct loss as Fred II.
