GREAT NEWS!! Jerry Weber is finally coming home this Tuesday. Welcome Home Jerry.

The 4th of July activities at Sheridan Lake have been cancelled due to the dry conditions. May try to have them over the Labor Day weekend. Will keep you informed.

Sheridan Lake and Plainview school lost their electricity due to straight line winds that hit Friday evening and took out around 40 poles. Southeast Colorado Power did a great job of getting electricity back to most everyone by Saturday evening.

Arlington Boy Aids in Airman's Rescue

From the July 5, 1968, issue of the Kiowa County Press.

The following story appeared in a Service newspaper, and is of interest to local readers as it pertains to the role played by an Arlington service­ man in the rescue of an airman in Vietnam.

CAMP EVANS - An unknown Marine A-4 pilot, now back in his cockpit after a near fatal mid-air collision, probably feels that 1st Air Cavalry Division helicopter pilots have an uncanny sixth sense - they rescued him almost before his parachute hit the ground.

·      USDA Update-Rod Johnson: What a difference a year makes. I have heard producers say they can’t get in the fields to finish planting because it’s too wet and some spring planted crops were lost because too much rain.

FOURTH OF JULY REMEMBER;

“It is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor.” George Washington

“Ahhh! Coffee!” said our resident cowboy, Steve, raising his cup at the philosophy counter. “Let’s raise our cups to whichever Brazilian came up with this stuff.”

Very slowly, Herb Collins stood with his cup of coffee there in the midst of culture and education at the Mule Barn truck stop.

“Actually, Steve,” Herb said, in his most professorial tone, “his name was Kaldi. He lived in Ethiopia.”

And here Herb grinned fiendlishly at Steve. “And he was a sheepherder!”

“No way, Herb!”
