On the front entrance of the two-story white house, set quite far back on the lot, are two octabound gon-shaped planters redwood with copper identically filled with salmon-colored geraniums. Doesn't it sound nice? Then on County Trunk just before it intersects County Trunk west of Winneconne, is a new one-story house, this one also set quite far back on the lot with a nice expanse of smooth lawn in the foreground.

The house, new, has horizontal white siding at the base, and deep red vertical red siding above the white.

A Little Leaguer, who has just come from a game, accepted the challenge, gave the elephant a hefty clout on the rear with his bat, and the elephant sat down. The next year came the parade with the same elephant and the same trainer, who this time challenged anyone, for a $100 prize, to make the elephant nod.

We have been essentially a religious and God-loving nation: we need to remember it is that fact more than anything else which has put character into our statesmen, courage into our soldiers, justice into our government, and conscience into our people."
