MONDAY, DECEMBER 19, 1938. PAGE FOUR PLATTSMOUTH SEMI - WEEKLY JOURNAL Christmas Day Eighty -Four Years Ago Account of Early Day Observance as Staged in Frontier Town of Om aha, Nebraska Territory. , Christmas day, 1854, hung warm and pleasant around the dozen or so crude shanties of new-born Omaha. Trees still had their leaves; in the dark earth the flowers bloomed. Men wore light clothes as they worked outdoors cutting up meat and stuff ing sausages in miniature flour sacks; for this was k"illing time," when families put up their meat. There were scarcely enough set tlers in Omaha to celebrate the day. Among the families were those of Dr. George Miller, Samuel D. Rogers, Al fred D. Jones, and II. J. Poppleton. These future leading citizens spent the day setting off fire crackers and entertaining each other in their rude homes. At night, the whole town turned out to see some fireworks dis played. Mr. William Snowden held a dance in his large log house. Almost everyone in town attended. The log house was not yet finished. Quilts kept out a part of the cold at windows and doors. The dance went on to flickering candlelight. This was a most enthusiastic gath ering. From Council Bluffs had come Jim Orton with an antiquated fiddle. The "French Four," a dance then popular, began the program. When Mr. Orton tuned up and struck the first notes, Hon. Alfred D. Jones caught his partner and led the crowd in the mysteries of the dance. At midnight refreshments appeared. There were no chairs, no tables, and the guests sat on Cottonwood benches along the cabin walls. Aside from the dance at Snowden's quite a number of young people came over from Council Bluffs to dance at a farm house. Now, the city ex tends for miles around this site. Then, it was prairie. The young people played old fash ioned kissing games, among them the "Needle's Eye," singing: The needle's eye, It does supply The thread that runs so true. There was another game, in which they sang at the- tops of their voices: I won't have none of your weevily wheat I won't have none of your barley, For I must go and get some dough, And bake a cake for Charlie. Another was called "Measuring Tape." Boy and girl fared each other clasping hands. First they stretched their hands to the right, then to the left. Every time they stretched they kissed. About 11 o'clock the party broke up. Thus, according to the Federal Writers' Project, WPA, ended one of the first Christmas celebrations iii Territorial Nebraska. FINLAND. PAYS UP WASHINGTON, Dec. 1G (UP) Thirteen nations, owinpr the United States more than $11,000,000,000, were scheduled Thursday to make another installment payment on their war debt, but little Finland, as usual, was the only nation to pay up. Finland forwarded $232,933 as a semi-annual payment. The installment due today amount ed to $lf0,217,334.37, and the pre viously due and unpaid installments amounted to $1,891,489,900.73, bring ing the total arrears of debtor na tions to $2,051,707,241.10. T he total unpaid principal amounts to $11,231, 000,000. Great Britain notified acting Sec retary of State Sumner Welles that it was prepared to reopen discussions with the United States on a possible debt settlement, whenever "circum stances are such as to warrant the hope that a satisfactory result might be reached."

Research workers of the Federal Writers' Project, WPA, find numbers of these. In 1879 Ogallala authorities pro hibited, cowboys and herders from wearing revolvers in town. A law passed in 1894 in Beaver Crossing limited to two the number of hogs a person might keep in the corporate limits. Beaver City in 1894 had an ordi nance that boys should not play marbles for "keeps." Tobias, during the 1890's, allowed no barbed wire fences in the cor porate limits. Queer ordinances were not always found in small towns. Hastings in the 1890's prohibited riding bicycles on Sunday. Lincoln also had several odd or dinances which remained on the statute books until the 1930's, among them: horses should not be hitched to trees in the city; the owner of each building should provide an iron ring in the sidewalk before his building. or furnish a suitable hitching post. It was also unlawful to engage in any sports or amusements on Sun day. A state law in 1S97 imposed severe punishment for violation of the Sab bath. Included in this statute were working, fishing, quarreling, and sporting. GOVERNMENT SPENDING WASHINGTON, Dec. 15 (UP) The treasury announced today that government spending this fiscal year has passed the $4,000,000 mark. There already was considerable speculation in the capital when the announcement was made as to whether Vice-President Garner will attempt to organize conservative democrats to curb federal spending. The vice-president and Mrs. Gar ner are expected to return Satur day for the forthcoming congres sional session and Garner soon there after will join the parade of legis lative leaders to the White House for conferences. The treasury announcement placed exact expenditures between July 1 and December 13 Inclusive at $4,002, 400,733. The net deficit, the treasury said, was $1,165,129,830, more than twice the sum by which the treasury went into the red in the corresponding period of the previous fiscal year. DISCUSS TUBERCULOSIS LINCOLN, Dec. 15 (UP) Fatigue, night sweats, lung hemorrhages and loss of weight standard symptoms of tuberculosis often do not appear in active pulmonary cases, Dr. John F. Allen of Omaha told an audience at the first of a series of public health meetings last night. Dr. Allen, a director of the Na tional Tuberculosis association, said X-rays of the lungs in the hands of skilled diagnosticians would disclose pumonary tuberculosis months be fore the ordinary symptoms appear. He said tuberculosis remains a more deadly disease than infantile paralysis, cancer or syphilis. The next public health lecture at the Chamber of Commerce in January will deal with milk and meat. Oth ers will follow until May when a de bate on "socialized medicine" is to be held. FRIDAY'S BASKETBALL RESULTS By United Press State Colleges Commerce Teachers, Texas Kearney 24.

Hail Rising Star of Young Heavyweight Lou Nova in Smashing Battle With Tommy Farr Looms as Danger ous Foe in Boxing Ring. By HARRY FERGUSON Unitef Press Sports Editor iCEW YORK, Dec. 17 (UP) It's ha;l and farewell today hail to the rising star of young Lou Nova who seems on his way to a shot at the world heavyweight championship, and farewell to tough Tommy Farr who deserves something better than the obscurity into which he is going. They fought it out last night in side the red ropes at Madison Square Garden, fought it out before 10,000 persons who sensed that this hour of blows and bloodshed was the turning point in the lives of two. men, one going the high and one the low road. There was honor enough for both when they stood there, sweaty and tired, in the breathless moment be fore the decision was announced- But the decision went to Nova justly so and today his star blazes brightly. For Farr it probably meant the end of his career on the big time, with nothing ahead but tank town fights and a cottage in Tonypandy, Wales. Nova, who looks and fights like Gene Tunney, is headed for a match with Max baer. Beyond Baer stands Douis ind the championship, and what Lhey're saying today is that if any body is going to take Louis, Nova is the man. He had evrything but experience last night. His short right needs to ;ravel only a foot to explode like TNT. His left hand was in Farr's face almost every time you looked at them. And, in the wild 14th round, Nova had Farr out on his feet and the crowd . Jvas yelling for the referee to stop the slaughter and save the brave man. If this was Farr's farewell to the big time, then he left an unforget table picture. His face was a mask of red and the blood rolled to his neck and forked into rivulets. He was reel ing and Nova was after him, slam ming him with a left and right and a left and a right until his head bob bed like a cork in the breakers. Farr's heart and what a great heart it is told him to go on but hi3 legs said no. lie sagged against the opes near his own corner, and Nova measuerd him for the kill. Referee Eddie Joseph took a quick look into his eyes and stepped between them. Nova, think ing he had won by a technical knock out, raced for his own corner. But Farr's heart was doing some thing besides pumping blood out of the cuts in his face. It was telling him to get up out of his half crouch on the ropes and throw punches. So he did, or rather tried to in his foggy way, went out to take some more of that short right and that crushing left. The bell clanged and saved Farr from what probably would have been the first knockout in his career. They patched him up between rounds and he hung on through the loth, but there was no doubt that he had lost the fight. Until the 14th round, it was any body's fight. Farr, ducking his head behind his left shoulder, ploughed in and took two to land one. Even after the awful beating Farr took in the 14th, referee Joseph called the bout a draw, but the two judges gave the decision to Nova. Gene Tunney and Jack Dempsey are only two of the wise men of the ring who had said that Nova was too inexperienced for one as tough as Farr. But last night proved that Nova, 23 years old, knows his way around the ring even if he does miss so badly at times that he slips off balance. It also proved that he coud go 15 rounds, a distance he never tried before. Nova and Joe Louis shook handsin the ring before the fight, Nova in his purple trunks and Joe in an elegant pin-striped suit. Come another fight months or so, they probably will be shaking hands in another ring. This time both of them will wear trunks. Nova weighed 199; Farr 203.
