ty If you‘ve had the same type of splendid treatment always given this writer at our excellent liâ€" brary, I‘m certain you‘d agree the friendly folks on the staff are most pleasant and helpful . . . . Fast, reckless driving is still present on our local speedway, Green Bay Road . . . . THINK AND GROW RICH . .. I‘ve been reading an inspiring book lately. It‘s called "Think and Grow Rich". It‘s packed with inâ€" teresting stories about the great and how they got that way by hard work, creative thinking and positive planning . ... Incidentally, it‘s no longer true that laborers work long hours. It‘s the bosses that put in the 16 hour days now. Bits From Here And There This column will be about a lot of things . . . .

Syd Harris, by the way, is vaâ€" cationing in â€" California, Hope when he gets back he‘ll get on the local beam again. His articles from overseas lacked his usual punch . . I know a North Shore builder, for example, who works his men 40 hours a week. But he himself puts in 100 hours a week. "I‘ve got to make a living!" he told me last week . . .

K o You don‘t hear much about "Ike" Eisenhower nowadays. But those fellows who pull the strings backstage surely are grooming "Ike" for ‘52â€" . ... s ALL ABOUT THE TOWN . .. Don‘t know about you folks out front, but I think the Daily News surely is an interesting newspaper. I Ii‘a John S. Knight‘s ‘"The Publisher‘s Notebook"; I like the features, the editorial, the colâ€" umnists. You can‘t beat the fine printing done by the Olson Printing Co. Here‘s a company that takes perâ€" somal pride in turning out excelâ€" lent work. And their work is tops, too. Try them and see. Their job printing work shows real skill . . . m e it C dn Sn o niealn S c m n Nessn ie Highland Park‘s recent second annual home show was an interesting and crowded event.
