exceeded $1.5 Million mark for the first time. In 1952 and 1956 the mark was
almost reached but 1960 it was achieved. The figures were released this week by

industries adding on additions. Home building permits in 1960 were four more
than 1959. The greatest numbers of new homes were built on the south side of

Kaukauna’s snow less
winter so far this year is a boom for motorist and the Mailman, but a sad time
for Joe Schouten. Mr. Schouten, the
proprietor of a fuel oil business, has been offering a chance for a lucky
person to get their winter’s fuel for free if they are closest in guessing the
first snowfall. “The ads in the Kaukauna Times are costing more than the free
oil”, he lamented, but stayed true to his bargain. A few flakes have come down
now and then but it must be enough to track a rabbit. Last year the contest,
which always starts in October, lasted one week. When will the first snow fall
be this year?

to the Eagles 13. Coach Vince Lombardi

come out with something. I lost the game not my players.”
