Dr. Everett Jackman reviewed the history of the Methodist church in Nebraska at a recent meeting aimed at providing enthusiasm to the delegates to a Methodist BiCentennial in the east.
In his remarks, Doctor Jackman cited a story about a rather chunky bishop who spent the night in an upstairs bedroom at the home of Nebraska farm friends.
They rushed into his bedroom when they heard a loud noise and found the weight of the bishop had collapsed the bed.
"If you hear any more noise during the night," he said, "look for me in the cellar."
There was a new face on the election board at Second ward at City hall this election year. Mrs. Ernest (Vesta) Overton, who began service on the board in 1950, stepped down this year because of ill health.
It would be interesting to know the many years of service of our election workers. George Bremer, Irma Speckhals, Mrs. Henry Chandler and Victor Bremer are among the many who have served many years.
Grundman airport at Nebraska City is getting all fixed up for a whiz-bang of an opening and Jaycee fly-in.
The new runway is mighty popular and there is a new hangar.
One of the newest additions is the snazzy 150 h.p. Cessna two-place. Curt, son of Mr. and Mrs. Walt Fetty, was among the first Nebraska Citians who had the opportunity to fly the new ship. (What'd I tell you, Andy?)
It isn't depression or drought time, but you'd never know it to read the welfare cost report in The News-Press.
Wasn't too long ago when it cost $25,000 a month to do the job. Now, that figure has jumped to $40,000 per month . . . and we still like to think Nebraska City and Otoe county are prosperous.
Kent Neumeister, son of Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Neumeister and a senior at the University, was pictured in the March issue of the Nebraska Alumnus as the first president of the Association of Students of the University.
One of the students pictured attending a meeting of the Senate looked like Kent's sister, Nesha.
