Off the record, they say . . . Elmer Branson will be the deputy sheriff under Harold Johnson, who won the Republican nomination over Eddie Kreifels. Johnson had no Democratic opposition so as far as party politics, he's in! . . . And then there is the present Deputy Sheriff Bill Miller who seems to be a sure-fire write-in candidate for sheriff . . . Must be something pretty snazzy in the sheriff's job although to hear Sheriff Ralph Hall talk, it's a lot of work and long hours and surely money has some . . . small part.
What you've heard about Woolworth may be true, but until the meeting next Friday it's just talk . . . Yup, Ron Gladstone will manage an Omaha shopping center store, Herzberg's, at the south Omaha location . . . Must be something sound business-wise in this corner of the state else, why would Omaha build a super-duper-pooper outlet on the south side and Lincoln a new whizbang on the east? . . . Don't kid me Charlie, this is a budding community and it's known outside the shopping area.
The North Carolina program of letting inmates out of prisons to spend weekends at home may be right in the books of the social reformers, but . . . The boys aren't in the state pen because they didn't attend Sunday school and weekends off is plush living. Reckon there are men who wouldgive much to stay away from their wives five days at a time.
One of the greatest systems we have in this country is the telephone system.
It's probably the biggest industry in the nation and for a buck you can call the folks any place in the U.S. (except for Alaska and Hawaii) and talk for three minutes.
Undoubtedly there will be ideas of people communication that someday will outdate the telephone like the horse and carriage, but for now it's a dilly.
Ever stop to count the number of times each day you use your phone? The number of times you hear a telephone ring . . . The number of phones you see in factories, offices, stores and on street corners?
Well, podner we're living in a mass communication era that is second to none.
When was the last time you called the telephone office and asked that a phone be installed in your home, or office? In many countries telephones are for the government folks only, but in the good ole' U.S.A., getting a telephone is about as easy as anything we have.
A call to the telephone office will get you a courteous voice, an inquiry of where you want the phone in the home, when you want it and what color. Service is guaranteed, you may call anyone you please and the cost is reasonable. The good old days may have been fine, but I like to dial . . .
