Over the County
SOUTHWEST BREEZES
By Romaine Saunders
Howard Berry made a trip to
Amelia Monday with a team and
wagon, breaking a track thru that
filled from another downfall of
snow that night.
Alfred James, of Atkinson, is
^helping at the ranch out here dur
nig these frost-bitten January days.
His father is confined to the house
much of the time.
To an old timer in Holt county,
not to the Italians, belongs the dis
tinction of the original black shirt.
Our old friend Senator John Rob
ertson was wearing them long be
fore Mussolini was ever heard
from.
Senator Burke, one of the few j
with the courage to oppose the
bonus, denounces it as an outrage.
He entertains the notion, lurking
in tiie minds of millions, that those
clamerjng loudest for the bonus
are least in need of it.
Some are extracting the promise
of a fruitful season from the snow
and cold. From observation and j
experience of some few seasons in I
Nebraska, July rather than Jan-1
wary weather determines what the |
autumn ingathering shall be.
With the activities of an anti- j
Roosevelt democratic organization j
to contend with and a 400 thousand i
dollar deficit to wipe out with the j
Jackson Day banquet profits of 250 j
thousand, the democratic nationa11
peommittee has troubles of its own.
John Hazelbaker and, son, Art,
were “stalled" on their way home
from Atkinson, within a few miles
of home, previous to the heavy
eiiow of Thursday. Borrowing a
8coop and jack at the nearest hu
man habitation they extricated the
car so as to proceed homeward in
the gathering darkness.
When a supreme court decision
is made not to their liking, resent
ment is expressed at "a few old
men telling us what to do.” There
are gray-tached men of nearly four
score years—Glass, McAdoo, Borah,
Norris and many others—making
our laws in congress to which the
same objection might apply but
seems to be overlooked by the court
critics.
The southwest’s mail service has
been demoralized. Ed Turner made
his last trip Friday down the reg
ular route. Since then he has been
going the highway and getting
mail or sending out letters is a
sort of “catch-as-catch-can.” If
the Breezes arrive it will not be
via regular route. Sentiment has
been transferred from Whittier’s
beautiful “Snowbound” to Long
fellow’s “Oh, the long and dreary
winter! Oh, the cold and cruel
winter.”
Thirteen citizens of Swan work
ed their winding ways thru the
snow across meadows and pastures
to the Kennedy school house to at
tend the annual township meeting.
Clerk Victor Howith presided and
within a few minutes all business
was disposed of. Treasurer How
ard Berry’s report, approved by
vote, showed a cash balance on
hand of $257.52. Art Doolittle,
road overseer in district 53 and
Ray Wardon in district 69 were re
elected. But one voter from the
third road district was present so
no vote could be taken for an over
seer in that district. A levy of 3
mills for all purposes was voted.
