Editor’sColumnOUR NEWS WRITERSREALLY COME THROUGH!

Seems like this year there Isavobeen a doggoned number of Monday legal holidays, when themail does not go out. What thatdoes to a weekly paper is nobody’sbusiness 1

What it does is gum up the mailing schedules of all rural newswriters, and we are proud to pointout that the Messenger writers always seem to come through--” Norrain nor sleet nor dark of night,”as they used to say about themail’s being delivered.

We are deeply appreciative ofour news writers, and their complete co-operation on these legalholiday dates when their usualmailing days are no good.

Some send the news to town byrelatives, friends, husbands, orbring it themselves. All co-operate completely, as when we callfrantically and ask when we canpick up the news letters by driving

‘round and getting it ourselves.We always did say the Messenger

though long years has had themost competent and faithful roster of reporters a weekly laperever had.

We thank you, and offer oursincere appreciation, news writers!

Mildred is no stranger to theseterrible storms, as one passedover Fort Myers and her homethere in recent years. In fact,the eye of the hurricane passedover Fort Myers.

WHO-ALL REMEMBERS TI-US?It’s the Weidman School of 1933in the old school house acrossthe river to the east of town.

Town kids used to wallc toschool in those days, and for

many it was a walk of a mileor more. Many walked in fromnearby farms.

We’re asking our readers tomake their own identificationsin this picture, as we’re gettingold, and can’t make out morethan a few of these children,now in their 30’s, 40’s and 50’s,most with spouses and childrenof their own.We do recognize one or two: Wesee Walter Smith, who loanedthe Messenger this priceless reminder of old days; and we seehis small sister, Helen, and webelieve we see Joan Middles-worth, now Joan Charnes, theCommerce instructor at Weid-rman Community School.

Anyhow, it’s wonderful to seethis picture, and figure out theSchool of 1933.

Like those of us before them,these kids walked across the ancient bridge at Weidman’s eastapproach (there was a walkway,then, on the north edge of thebridge).Walt says the boy in the darksweater holding the placard saying “1933” is Carl Thomas.

Walt says the pictures cost 50cents apiece, and he saved uphis money for a long time, tomake sure he’d get one.

He has a couple of other fascinating photos, also, one of thefirst class to graduate from thenewly-consolidated ShermanTownship Agricultural School,as the Weidman Community
