SHIELDS A very entertaining event took place Friday evening, Dec. 21 in the school house of Dist. 145, under the direction of Miss Louise Sul livan, who teaches the school. In these days of moving pictures with so much fiction reproduced on the screen to entertain the public, with their metallic monotone and lifeless machines to imitate the whims of the day, it is only once in a while that we have the privil ege of seeing the actual players to produce the realism that makes the joy come to the surface. Miss Sullivan completed a course in elocution, and astonished the audience the way some of those young amatuers put things over in the way of amusement as actors and actresses. The school building is fairly large and was filled to its capacity. It was a treat to attend this social event and pass a delightful even ing among well known characters, as it undoubtedly proved for all of those present. In connection with the program a pie sale took place. Erwin Givens was unanimously chosen to auction off the pies. He gave a short talk on general conditions and said that owing to the agricultural adjust ment act and its crop reductions, it would be a good time to eat up this surplus pie, but at the same time to gather up the fragments. Because of the general depression he did not expect and fabulous prices that evening. The bidding started right off the bat and con tinued until every pie was well sold. The proceeds were $7.50, and average of about 40 cents per pie. This goes to decorate the in terior of the school room. The list on the program was mislayed, so the names of those taking part in the play are lacking. All in all we had a good time. E. E.

Farmers Union Elevator Co. O’NEILL, NEBRASKA The New Ford V-8 for 1935 is the biggest and roomiest Ford car ever built. It is a strik ingly handsome car, with mod em lines and new, luxurious appointments. But most important of all it is especially designed to give you smooth, easy riding over all kinds of roads — "a front seat ride for back-seat riders." This ease of riding is achieved by the use of three basic prin ciples never before combined in a low price car. 1. Correct distribution of car weight by moving engine and body forward eight and a half inches. 2. New location of seats by which the rear seat is moved forward, toward the center of the car —away from the rear axle and away from the bumps. 3. New spring suspension which per mits the use of longer, more flexible springs and increases the springbase to 123 inches. The result is Center-Poise — which not only gives you a new riding comfort but adds to the stability of the car and its NOW ON DISPLAY A New Ford V*8 That Brings New Beauty, New Safety, and a New Kind of Riding Comfort Within Reach of Millions of People ease oi handling.
