It has been a custom of their friends for years to celebrate these two im portant events at some convenient time in between them, preferably Sunday, but this year the celebiation was given Up as both “grandma ’ and “grandpa” were not feeling their best, having heavy colds. However, Mrs. Cruickshank enjoyed calls from a number of old friends and messages of cheer and congratula tions through the mail and over the phone. She was pleased t« receive a fine Scottish cake from her old home in Scotland and has many other rememb rances of the happy occasion which she values highly. Mrs. Cruickshank has always been interested in the rational and polit ical affairs of our country and has kept up with the worth while things of the time3.

There is not a thing in the world the matter with Nebraska, except the one fact that there are too many ask ing, “What is the matter?” Few though they be, compared with the whole number, they make up in vocif erous calamity howling what they lack numerically. The great trouble is that the outside world does not judge Nebraska by the great majority working away with cheerful hearts and willing hands, building for bigger and better things, but does judge the community by the calamity wails and the sobs of grief Business in all lines is on the up grade. Conditions are steadily grow ing better. The people are taking hold with renewed courage and greater hope. Nebraska was not builded by ca lamity howlers and retailers of sob stories. It was not builded by men of little courage and less faith. It was not builded by men and women who sat down to whine and repine at the first backset. We of today may think we have endured sore trials and tribula tions, but what were they compared with the trials and tribulations of the pioneers who lacked every comfort and convenience that we of today enjoy, and endured hardships and privations of which their children and tneir child ren’s cildren know nothing. Faith in the future is the enduring cornerstone upon which Nebraska has been builded. Faith in the future, faith in the commonwealth’s resources, faith in the ultimate rewards of toil and sacrifice and service What Ngr braska needs most at thiB time is citi zens who will Tace the future with confidence instead of facing the past with discouragement. Nebraska needs men and women who will devote more time to talking about what the st#te has and less time to whining what the state has not secured; more talk about what can be done by united effort, and less talk about what migh| ' ave been. The sob and wail of the calamity howler should be drowned out in ap overwhelming chorus of thanksgiving for what Nebraska has and may have if its people will do their part. The faith that inspired the pioneers will, if instilled into the minds and hearts of Nebraskans today, accomplish greater things than the pioneers ever dreamed of accomplishing. Have faith in Nebraska Faith ip the state’s unlimited resources an4 possibilities, faith in Nebraska’s citin zenship, faith in your neighbors, faith in the future and faith in the father whose guiding hand has always led through every doubt and difficulty. Nebraska’s future was never brighter. Prosperity was never more assured. Rewards of honest endeavor were never . nearer at hand. Know youi* state better, and knowing it bet ter, love it more. And loving it more you will imbibe a stronger faith that will lead you on to greater endeavor O’NEILL “SCHOOL MAN” WOULD ABOLISH FOOT BALL IN THE SCHOOLS An annonymous “School Man” writ ing to the Omaha Bee from O’Neill would abolish football in the schools. Following is the communication sign ed “A School Man,” which appeared in the Bee Wednesday morning of this week: , Too Great a Price O’Neill, Neb.—To the Editor of The Omaha Bee: Every fall the papers are full of the tragedies of football. Today we see where a boy was killed at Chardon in a game between Chad ron and a neighboring town. But we are informed that the game went on and that a victory was won to the tune of some 56 to 6. Wonderful “nerve” it must have taken to continue that game! And it may be, as the sjports will tell us, that the boy died while grandly fighting to make that victory possible—for the glory of the team. We will grant that the boy was a red-blooded American and that he died while bravely fighting. But what of it ? We still contend that too great a price was paid for the victory And if we, who never knew the boy, 200 miles away from the scene of the tragedy, feel thusly about the matter, how must that old father and mother have felt that evening as they gathered about the table for the evening meal and looked ufpon the vacant chair They and they alone can properly estimate the price that was paid for the victory upon that sad day. We don’t want to be an old fogy, but we do wonder sometimes how long the fathers and mothers and the tax payers of our country are going to stand for such foolishness. Football is a college game and has absolutely I no place in our high schools. Boys of high school age are too immature to participate in a game of such a stren rous nature as football. fab all v.e go one step further at the risk o' being octracised from the pres ence of all “sensible people.” Well, we’ll tread softly, but here goes: 'We would suggest that our next legisla ture take the matter up and pass a >ruy prohibiting football in our public schools.

James, about seventy-five of their friend and neighbors assembled at the Gem Theatre to help celebrate the occasion. To but comparatively few married couples is given the privilege of traveling life’s pathway together for fifty years, but notwithstanding the hardships and privations of pioneer life, time has dealt lightly with Mr. and Mrs. James, and their pep and vigor is the envy * of their many younger friends.
