Thought i would drop a letter to let you Know that I haven't re ceived my copy of the Herald for Thursday, April 10th. I was won dering if it had been sent or lost In the mails. It sure Is possible that it could have been lost as there has been a lot of excitement out in this part of the country, not thtft we have enjoyed it though as you have' no doubt we have hewn having floods. The Missiour Kiver is usually about 10 mljes from here but now its less than a mile in some places. We ha^r-n't had any water right in town but about all the farmers got out of the bottoms almost a Week ago. I sure never thought there could possibly be enough water to flood the whole valley but it sure is full. I'm sure glad that our town Is In the bluffs in stead of the flat country. The population of the tdwn . is .over doubled now and will be that way tor another week or two as its expected to be that long before I he wa ter goes buck down and the" folks can get back home. I have alWays heard a lot of talk about how the Red Cross operates and people critlze every move It makes.- They sure have done nothing but good here. They keep emer gency d Is a s t e r headquarters here open 21 hours a day and have been for over a week now. They haVe also given orders for groceries, dry goods and every other type of goods that was needed. They have also served meals to the men working on. the levees and dikes. There also has been units of the National Guard, Army and Coast Guard here to help patrol the dikes and get persons and livestock out of the flood. I'm enclosing the front page of our local paper, thought you might like to read it. I note that Jack Early is play ing ball with Minneapolis, Minn., again this year. I Was listening to a game broadcasted from Kan sas City today and he was catch ing for the Minneapolis Millers. Sure hope' I'll be able to get to K-C to see him this season when his team is playing there. I didn't get to hear, the whole game but the part 1 heard Jake did right well. He got a double and a Walk the 2nd time at bat while I was listening." BUY EXPERTLY Be your own judge SEE! DRIVE i COMPARE! Attractive Prices! Liberal Trade-ins! Long, Easy Terms !

ERVIN ELLISON (Paid Pali Ural Advertising) SPRING CLSAN VP AT HOME Safety experts say every farm family should have a spring clean up campaign at home, inside and out. Such a campaign would goa long way toward eliminating fire artd accident hazards, make a healthier place to live, and result in happier work days and more production. . Farm families alone lose about 3,500 lives and 100 million dollars worth of farm property annually by fires. About 18,000 farm resi dents are killed and a million and one-half others are injured each year in accidents. Look into every nook and cran ny. Get rid of any winter accumu lation of trash, Junk and discard ed equipment from all buildings, and get rid of the dead grass and "weeds near (he buildings. In the farm home and . other farm buildinga clean up all de bris, trash, paper and other haz ardous waste material. Oily rags and old paint brushes may cause spontaneous ignition. . In barns, shops and machine sheds get rid of old metal equip ment. Discarded machinery may cause falls and other accidents. Rusty metal- can cause tetanus (blood poisoning). Waste scrap! metal, urgently needed for de fense, will bring a cash dividend.

But the problem is to put that energy to work. So Buick engineers aren't content just to mix that drop with air and touch it off. They've designed an engine that brings it catapulting into a cylinder head where it strikes a turbo-top piston? gets whipped into a churning, swirlirtg ball of tight-packed energy. 124 Railroad Ave. Then it's fired. And when that happens, a drop of gasoline certainly lets loose power. This isn't something that happens in a "car of the future." It happens in a Buick Fireball 8 Engine today. It's a high-compression engine. It's a valve-in-head engine. But it's also a Fireball in performance as well as name. And it puts extra power under the hood ?and extra miles in the fuel back in the gas tank. Now, power is great, but what goes with it? Mister, that's something you ought to find out? and soon.
