Hiya Neighbor-Have been sit
ting here looking at the calendar
and taking stock of things to
come. Our calendar indicates that
the fishing will be poor over the
weekend but good all next week.
Let that be warning to you if
you're planning anything big with
the rod and reel There are 14O
days until Christmas which, Incl
dentally, falls on Saturday this
year -. A week from today is
Friday the 18th School be-
gins in just little more than four
weeks. That means summer is
about over and outside of the
memory of a good sunburn or
that present crop of freckles, what
have you to show for it? Did you
go all the places and see all the
people you hoped to see? Did you
get to the beach and have as many
picnics as you thought you would ?
Did you get all the things done
inside and outside the house that
you had planned to do? If so,
you're lucky, because for the
average person the good old sum-
mer time flies by so fast, that,
come fall, there are always a good
many things left over to be writ
ten off as unfinished business. For
tunately there's always another
summer coming up and maybe,
just maybe, next year you'll get
around to accomplishing all those
things left undone. Who knows?
Having Unintentionally put the
Bon Ton Beauty shop out Of busi-
ness last week it behooves US to
clear up the error by telling you
that you're favorite beauty opera
tors are still doing business in the
Island House Annex. And to get
the record straight, DR.. Poe is
moving in to the rooms formerly
occupied by Korndorfer's store,
same annex. Could be we were
looking at the locations with our
eyes crossed when reporting the
item last week. Hope all is for
given.

drop them a line.
Members OF The East Building
Mothers Club are planning a bake
sale to be held Saturday, Aug. ID,

be used to help pay for the merry
go-round which is being purchased

time school opens in September.

Nature Has Given us blue skies
and an abundance of blue flowers
and birds, but for some reason or
other has never produced blue
food. We talk of blue plums and
blue berries and other fruits hav-
ing "blue" skins but the part to
be eaten is never blue.
Among The Many visitors at
Lakeside this week to see the Dia-
mond Jubilee pageant, was John d.
Curtis, S3, of Bucyrus. A retired
banker, Mr.. Curtis recalled riding
bicycle from Sycamore to Lake
side on July IA, 1895. to hear DR..
T. Dewitt Talbot, one of the great
est preachers of that time. Mr.
Curtis owned the first bicycle in
Wyandotte county and well re-
members the poor roads he en-
countered on the 140 mile round
trip.
