NOTES FROM AFTER THIRTY GOOD INTENTIONS Last week brother Dick was returning from some function and traveled past the Lincoln school. He noticed the lights were on. and many people streaming out,, and also saw a lady with a car load of girls who had a flat tire. Dick stopped his car and offered his assistance. The lady showed him where the jack for the car was, and Dick went to work. He placed the jack and got out the lug wrench. After pumping on the jack for quite a while, he told the lady he didn't think the jack worked. She answered that it didn’t work that way because it was the kind that you crank up with a winding, motion instead of pumping. Al Beavers then arrives on the scene, and Dick turned the frustrating job over to a professional. <• — 30 SOUTHWEST We still receive our weekly copy of the "Brewery Gulch Gazette from Bisbee. Arizona, and look forward to reading this interesting paper. Some of the weekly items carry clever heads; Mountain Mule Moonshine, Down In Cod" s6 County, and With Pick and Knapsack.'are a few. Others include Around the Bars by Al K. Hollick, At the Beauty Parlors by Lotta Hare, With the Tourists by Moe Tell, and Country Club Events by B X. elusive. The most interesting features in the paper though, are the editorials. While the writers don’t particularly agree with our personal opinions, they make no bones about their stand. In this day of watered down opinions' in an effort to make everybody happy (a task that’s impossible, anyway), these are really refreshing. The latest news story from Brewery Gulch has to do with the town mashal of Tombstone allegedly clobbering a motorist with a black jack and then shooting at him when he hit back and ran. The wild west may be dying, but it’s not dead yet.
SHADES OF CORDELL. Spring brings out the friendliness in most-everyone. and one of the joys of the warm weather (if it ever gets here) is to chat in the back yard with neighbors. Gerry Timmons and his neighbor in Berne, Gilbert Stucky, were whiling away some of the warmer evening moments last week. Mr. Stucky Ited the u. hedge clippers with him, and while the pair talked, he proceeded to trim up the grape arbor. When darkness fell, the two men went back into their homes, and Stucky proudly told his wife that he hacjl finally trimmed up that old arbor at the side of the garage. Mrs. Stucky looked puzzled, and informed her husband that they hadn’t had any grape vines in the back yard for five years. Gilbert realized what had happened, and hurried over to the Timmons’ home to apologize to Gerry for cutting the Timmons' grape vines. Gerry assured him that it was perfectly alright, as he had wanted to trim the arbor for a couple of years, but didn’t know how to do it himself. CHANGING PANORAMA While it's sometimes hard for

Mike Kohne. who has been away from Decatur about two years in the army, decided to spend some of his leave reading. He went into the library, and naturally went upstairs. He noticed the changes, but didn’t think too much about it, and headed for the card file. After looking through it a couple of times, Mike was asked by the librarian if she could help him. He said he couldn’t find anything on the subject he was looking for. The children’s librarian recognized Mike, and explained the new <to him) setup at the local Carnegie. Mike made his apologies and went downstairs, an innocent victim of progress in Decatur.
DEAR FEATHERED FRIENDS I hope my friends control their shock In case they see me, armed with a rock, Sneak around the shrubbery end Intent on bombing feathered friend. It's not that I dislike the birds, In fact. I love their tuneful words That float on sunny morning breeze And mingle with the rustling trees. And still, it fills my heart with fire, Accentuates this Scotchman’s ire, To see the little rascals feed On costly, newly planted seed. . I broadcast crumbs and suet and such To try to help them out this much, Yet they ignore such mundane rot And concentrate on brands by Scott. a Miss Lois Suman On Olivet Honor Roll KANKAKEE, 111., — Miss Lois Suman, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wilbur H.

Siem Criticism By U.S. Against Cuba WASHINGTON <UPD — Stem new U S criticism of Cuban Premier Fidel Castro’s regime today was viewed a* evidence of increased concern over Communist infiltration. The United States Friday charged Castro and other Cuban officiate of a "betrayal" of the ideate of the revolution which catapulted the regime to power 15 months ago. The charge was made in a letter to the Federation of Students of Chile, written on orders from President Eisrohower but sent over the signature of U. S. Ambassador in Santiago. William Howe. Secretary of State Chrisitan A. Herter. at a news conference Friday, said the United States was "disturbed" ovef recent attacks on anti-Communlsts in Cuba. He said the Cuban press, apparently supported by Castro officials, had labeled anti-Communists as "antiCastro" and "anti-revolution." Herter viewed the statements as a deliberate attempt to discourage any anti • Communist sentiments. His stand was seen as indicating new U. S. concern over the leftwing drift of the Castro government.
