The decision by the State Board of Education that rules and regulations be established for sex education courses in local schools is wise.
In the language of the kids, the board is "doing its thing."
We should be able to trust the wisdom of the people in the school system who are experts in their fields as to the specifics in the classroom.
I'll betcha a pair of boots neither you nor me would want to teach a class.
Here's how it is today. If you're over 30, you've had it!
And to some, you're just a "dirty old man."
At the football game.
The Harry Vondraks are back in the reserved section this season. That's not so unusual . . . except this year, for the first time in 24 years, the Vondraks don't have any youngsters in the schools.
Someone said before the game that something wouldn't work . . . the public address system was it! Ernest Janssen got things going again.
Hayward park is a pretty foxy athletic field, perhaps the best in this part of the state what with the stadium, fieldhouse, asphalt track, completely rebuilt field and extra seating on the east side.
Sport enthusiasts claim Nebraska City will now be the location of many great athletics events.
I don't know how you vote, but I'll take Jerry Hall as football announcer any time.
He did a bang-up job . . . even his impromptu officiating.
The only challenge I heard all evening Friday at Hayward by Jerry's friends was whether this was to be a football game or a stock car race or a saddle club show . . . that Jerry gets around.
Sure hope he shares a few of his jokes with the fans during the season.
We get a lot of newsletters in the mail from various manufacturers, but about the cleverest and attractive we've seen is the Pendleton Woolen Mills of Nebraska letter.
It's really a dandy. There's no question about the product. The front and back pages are printed in red and black depicting plaid wool, a product made famous by the Pendleton people.
Mrs. Ray (Arlene) Schreiner's column is printed on page 1 of this month's letter entitled, "Nebraska City By-Line." The cartoons add much to the stories.
I'm not much of a golfer, but I do have an appreciation for people who know how to play the game.
And today, this appreciation goes to Gary Blakeman, winner of the championship flight and the Clemmy Holmes trophy.
Gary has had a good year, winning also at Syracuse and in the Early Bird Open.
And he's a busy man as manager of Nebraska City's American Meter company. You'll never meet a more courteous golfer on the course and a pleasant guy on the street.
Best of luck to you, Gary, for many more championships.
Someone said the other day that a good mechanic never seems to have the time to fix his own car . . . or an electrician never gets those new outlets installed in his own home?
My wife reminded me that our family doesn't have any printed stationery . . . I was gonna do that, Millie, but I got busy.
