Rex johnson is the boss there. Musseling affords employment for some of our fellows, while girls cut buttons. It looks as if we've just about covered the town-so let's go down to the dam tofficially locks 52j. Maybe we'll see one of those big barges go through the locks. Nice town y' know what I mean? Nobody very remarkable comes out of it- s' far as we know. Of course, way back in the early days Our Town was the biggest tie shipping center in the world and the docks were always the scene of big river boats and barges like the Dick Fowler and the George Cawling: then there was Ownes Ferry back in 1870. Naturally Our Town has its share of romances, too. Take the Barton home f'r instance-there's Nancy Anne engaged to Mac, the boy next door- 'bout like Emily and George-schoolday sweethearts. Then we've had just a heap of weddings here lately-but you can hear about them later and see the wedding pictures-they're really beauties. It's really been a big day- after talking to so many folks in Our Town- hearing about all the new babies and walking from dawn 'til sundown-yes, there's stars doing their old, old criss-cross journeys in the skies. Scholars haven't settled the matter yet, but they seem to think there are no living beings up there-they're just chalk-or fire. Only this one is straining away, straining away all the time to make something of itself. The strain's so bad that every six- teen hours everybody lies down and gets a rest-Hmm-bed time in Our Town- you get a good rest, too. Goodnight.-
