Spring

I like to watch the leaves that
swing; ^
I like to watch the butterflies
Fluttering in the clear, blue skies.
Tis Spring, Spring, Spring!
Klugh Connor, 6th grade.
Fishing
Fishing can be lots of fun
If you catch many
Or if you catch none;
It’s fun to dig the squirming
worms,
To wade in water that ripples and
turns;
Then to go home for supper and
rest;
It all is fun, the very best!
John Langley, 6th grade.
Spring
Birds flying in the air,
Bees humming everywhere,
Flowers and trees and everyt'.ing
Well, what do you know,
It must be Spring!

Greyhound buses and Greyhound people have
served our city and our state continuously for
more than 15 years ... through depression and
boom, through war and victory to Peace!
Fifteen years is a long time in anybody’s life—
and especially is this true of the bus industry,
which has an entire lif*c span of little more than
a quarter of a century,
tl *
15 years of vital, uninterrupted service—15
years of steady wages for Greyhound employees
V{ho have helped build this prosperous-commu
nity—15 years of intimate, friendly association
.... is a history in which we take pride.
It shows that Greyhound truly shares in the
life and interests of the people it serves.
More Buses, More Service
Needed and on the way
Today people are on the move as
never before! With every bus
working regularly, with everyone
at Greyhound doing his utmost,
travelers still are sometimes
inconvenienced.
Hundreds of new buses are on
order. When they are delivered,
you can expect finer, and more
frequent service, additional com
fort . . better travel in all respects
than America has ever known.
