Well son of a gun! Just when law enforcement was getting along fine handling criminal cases, Attorney General Clarence Meyer says that stories on criminal proceedings must be limited else they might wind up like the Doctor Sam Case, once convicted of murdering his wife and now to be retried.
Rather than bow to the high court and let it go at that, Mr. Meyer and all prosecuting attorneys should straighten their backs and work toward laws favorable to law enforcement.
This discrimination bit is about to eat up the nation.
And speaking of "discrimination" . . . NOTICE to all milkmen . . . I bought a cow.
We'll miss her.
We're going to miss Betty Peterson Sharp as the Otoe county attorney, but we are looking forward to working with the new attorney, Richard Hoch who won the primary and at present will have the job in January.
Mrs. Sharp did not seek reelection for another four-year term and will step down as the "law" in Otoe county at the end of this year.
If ever there was any doubt about woman handling the job of county attorney, Mrs. Sharp has removed all skepticism. After working with her for several years, I'm confident she could also handle the sheriff and county judge jobs competently.
Off the record they say . . . Howard Baltensperger may (or may not?) get a "temporary" job as postmaster in Nebraska City. The boys (excuse me, Nellie) or girls must take tests to make it look like a fired up civil service opportunity, then the appointment will follow from Washington . . . Don Holtz will NOT leave Nebraska City. Mr. Holtz told the school board he turned down a move offer from the company to stay at home . . . Understand First Lt. Frank Malzer, Company A commander, won't be a "louie" very long. Those captain bars are coming his way for an early promotion.
Congratulations to Bob Hohman, new manager of Hubbard Milling company succeeding Frank Tomlins who has joined the Grace company and will live in Minnesota. Bob has been with Hubbard (formerly G. E. Conkey) at Nebraska City for 20 years.
