The Sidney Telegraph publishes editorials on a schedule of Monday Wednesday and Friday. It is produced by The Telegraph Printing Co Inc at 830 11th Ave in Sidney Nebraska.
The notice urges every reader in the Sidney region to recruit for the Western Nebraska Vocational Technical School at Sidney. It notes many high school graduates skip college for skilled trades, invites locals and parents to promote enrollment, mentions a first term starting in October with room for 150 students, and promises top instructors and quality facilities at reasonable rates. It also hints at local job opportunities for skilled workers and the value of keeping talent in the territory.
A retired remark by Cary Grant on marriage longevity sparks mixed critique. The actor, noted for four marriages, is described as a capable performer rather than a persuasive sociologist. The piece questions how his views influence his broader thesis.
The piece notes President Johnson pushing a cost of living report focused on doctors as rising charges cited by other sectors are blamed on federal policy. It recalls wider wage hikes and inflation trends while mentioning General Falkenhausen's wartime actions and his restraint in contrast to Nazi conduct.
The five member Nebraska State Board of Equalization and Assessment adjusted values in 87 of 938 counties, raising real estate taxes closer to the 35 percent legal requirement. The move highlights systemic inequities as debates over property tax fairness continue, with possible impact on the November Farm Bureau amendment and broader tax pressure. The editorial notes the board’s courage, while blaming the underlying system rather than the board.
Compiled from old files a snapshot of mid century life with items on a new attorney in Lou Thorpe’s office, Mrs. Blair handling social news, a lower mill levy in the county, Gurley school bids under study, and Eisenhower en route to the Republican National convention. Also noted are airline pledges, a school levy of 74 mills for District 1, and an August 31 education day.
The author recalls a lively period with neighbors and their daughter in school days. The final bell marked nine months of activity, friendships, and late drives to games. They reflect on how parenting, rules, and the energy of youth shaped their outlooks, with a wish to rejoin that age in spirit.
