We learn that Grandma Fix had
one foot frozen during the severest
of last week’s cold storage install
ment.
Mr. Beckman has a sense of
humor as well as recognizing the
value of advertising. We trust
his stock of flyswatters was ample
to supply the demand.
William Carpenter helped at the
Young ranch while Mr. Young
found it expedient to nurse and
nurture some frost-bitten spots ac
quired while out in a storm.
The president has done many
thing during his administration.
The biggest thing he has done is
his conclusion to accept the fate of
the new deal program like a true
American sportsman.
Mechanically perfect, a thing of
art and last word in comfort em
bodied in the up-to-date transporta
tion vehicles, streamlines, zephyrs
and so on are even more helpless
than the prairie schooner of pioneer
days when the borean elements of
midwinter cut loose.
Did you get it—a little para
graph in the congressman's col
umn from Washington? In one
division of Capitol Hill’s large body
of white collared and silk hatted
farmers th^ week had been spent
installing telephones and new desks
for the control of soil erosion out
here where the wind blows.
A young Russian woman told a
conclave of atheists in the soviet
capitol that she had made many
baloon ascensions above the cloud 3
and dropped with the parachute
and had seen neither God nor
angels, hence those in the assembly
need have no concern that such
exist. So that is athiestic think
ing. —
This community is still cut off
from mail service and from get
' ting to town for supplies. Neigh
bors share with neighbors such as
they have and though some of the
vitamins may be lacking in the
food rations hungry ones are able
to fill up—and at 10 to 30 below
battling without in the angry ele
ments can one eat!
A group of University youth of
democratic ancestry formulated a
set of rules setting forth their
ideas of qualifications for governor,
no individual it has been my pleas
ure to be acquainted with measur
ing up to the requirements. With
the candor and loyalty of a clan
the boys proceed to proclaim that
Nebraska’s present governor meets
the requirements. Partisan preju
dice lives on.
The Saunders boys walked to
Amelia the evening of the 10th and
GALENA LUMBER COMPANY

returned with some forty pounds
of Tom Salem’s grocery stock nap
sacked on their backs. They
were from 6 o’clock until 11 mak
ing the trip. For half a mile east
of the boys’ home there is no get
ting thru with team, car, horse
or wheelbarrow. One may walk
on top of the 6-foot drifts if not
too heavily loaded.
E. E. Young went to Amelia
with a team Thursday of last week
to secure needed supplies, the
weather showing signs of better
things early in the day. Before he
got back a blizzard developed with
the more or less familiar 10 or 12
below and he was quite badly frost
bitten. Halls got as far as the
township line with a team and
wagon, also headed for Amelia,
but had to turn back because of
the storm.
Eight wayfarers found refuge at
the Fryear home on highway 11
just west of Amelia the night of
the 13th. On the road headed for
their homes the blizzard became
such that the cars could proceed
no further as the drivers were un
able to see. Those to find a shel
ter from the storm were Mr. and
Mrs. Floyd Adams of Amelia,
Maurice Kennedy, Art Doolittle
and Delbert Edwards from out in
Swan precinct, and two from the
Bilstein home and one from the
Kiser home down by the lake.
I see my old friend John Gaugh
enbaugh is backing a Townsend
Club for O’Neill. The college
economists teU us it will not work.
They also told us of a lot of things
that would restore the commercial
life that haven’t. Warning is also
flashed out from certain quarters
that it will take twenty billion
dollars a year to pay the pensions.
What of it? Putting out about
that much now to maintain the
federal army of supernumeries at
Washington and elsewhere. Why
not let them take a turn at the
husks while the old folks revel in
plenty for a while? The amount
of opposition is plenty swift, but
good luck to you, John.

SHIELDS
Miss Bonnie Briener, a daughter
of Mrs. Briener of Pleasantview,
was married to William Murray, a
son of Mr. and Mrs, Henry Murray,
of Shields on February 6th, the
ceremony being performed by the
Reverened Pastor of the church.
It is evident that some were in-1
formed of the coming nuptials
and quickly spread the alarm and
invited quite a few of the newly j
w*ds friends to help celebrate the
event and help devour the huge
wedding cake with all the other nc
sessories.
The guests came early and the
committee in charge selected, a var
iety of stunts for the program,
knowing that their guests would
expect something to do to baffle
tne cold wave that must have orig
inated in Siberia. The different as
signments were arraigned to enter
tain every one in the house. Min
now Beller and Mrs. Tom Murray
furnished excellent music for the
occasion. Those desiring to trip
the light fantastic had nccess to a
large double room and the melee
was on and the cold wave was for
gotten until morning.
Another room was arranged for
those who would rather discuss the
topics of the day. John Ernst, the
toastmaster, who has captured
audiences whereever he has spoken.
Such is his ability in that line that
he threatens to set a record in that
particular role and who is now
looked upon by many as having in
herited the mantle of eloquence of
the late John Harmon. Mr. Ernst
was as good as ever and that is
some compliment.
John Cleary gave a short review
of the pioneer days, when real con
tentment existed without uny public
relief such as the WPA is dishing
out. He said that we ure all in
the same boat, but today where a
lot of the well-to-do are making
applications for relief, who in nor
mal times obtained without a ques
tion home and support from their
nearest of kin. Resorting to such
practice and trying to bring pres
sure upon the taxpayer until the
large per cent of them are compel
led to resort to Government loans.
Last Bummer he said he could not
hire a man; the relief caused a lot
of shirkers, when man power was
at a premium. The species of
social erosion by those who teach
limitations as a remedy for econo
mic distress are lacking in men
tality.
Other minor topics were thresh
ed out and it looked like the repub
licans decided to take the middle
%
path this fall. The announcement
for supper interfered with this
section and the Dilemma was closed
with a question mark.
After partaking of the bountiful
spread, the newly weds, who were
presented with many useful gifts,
announced the donators after which
Mr. Murray gave a short talk,
thanking their many friends for
the kindness bestowed upon them.
A deep affection and appreciation

for Mr. Murray and wife was indi
