They’ve got class

The fourth grade at Aviston Elementary, located in southern Illinois, is learning about the U.S. and the different environments, climates, resources and highlights found in each region. The kids in the class think it would be fun to receive postcards, souvenirs, resources or any information about our great country from each of the 50 states.

We hope that people who read this letter will be interested in mailing our class items pertaining to their state.

Our address:

4th grade at Aviston Elementary

350 South Hull St.

Aviston, Ill. 62216

A sincere “thank you” to anyone who is able to contribute. We appreciate the excitement you will add to our learning experience.

Mrs. Niemeyer and class

Aviston, Ill.



Service “Hassle” Station

I know things are at a hurried pace these days, but being hassled was just too much Saturday morning. I love using my debit card at the pump, gas, and a wash all at once.

I noticed my tires were low and put quarters in the air machine. Upon picking up the hose, I noticed the air nozzle was missing.

I entered the service station to tell the young man about the air, and to put a sign out. He stated he was only one person and he said it with attitude to boot.

I’m a little tight on cash these days, and probably would have let it go if it hadn’t been for the attitude. So I asked for my quarters. He said I’d have to call the air machine company. I asked for the number, and with a huff he looked at the counter and walked to the back of the store office.

On the way back he said he didn’t have the number, so I asked for the manager. She came out from the back and yelled at the young man to give me the quarters and slammed the door shut.

Now, Mr. Attitude gave the quarters to me along with telling me how I can’t follow orders and bothering the manager.

Oh no, he didn’t! Now that’s another story.
