Organizations around the village have been meeting recently. The Waseca Playground Committee made plans for an Easter Extravaganza to be held at the Waesca Hall March 24 from 1 to 4 pm.

Unless you're a carpenter, builder or devoted hobbyist, you probably think that a nail is a nail. Nail producing institutions are few and far between. One of these is in Massachusetts and has been producing nails since 1819. Cut nails have been produced there since that time. The machines in that factory rumble and chug away as they did from the beginning chewing up plates of steel and flinging out nails. Before 1850 all nails were cut nails, but then round wire nail was invented and was so much cheaper in price and so much easier to produce that it quickly became the type of nail which most of us are familiar with today. The cut nail is no longer the major market but seems to be favoured for use in hardwood floors and such things as tongue and groove boards. There are many different types of cut nails which are used for different purposes.
