Cronin, Editor and Proprietoi Entered at the Postoffice at O’Neill Nebraska, as Second Class Matter One Year, in Nebraska $2.0C One Year, outside Nebraska 2.2E Ted North Players Coming To O’Neill After an absence of more than five years the ‘Ted’ North Players will return to O'Neill next Wed nesday e%’ening, Sept. 8, for an en gagement of five nights, when they will present five of their best plays. On the opening night the entire strength of the company will be seen in the latest comedy success, “Girl meets Boy.” This play will feature Marie Peters, Virginia Cul len and Foy Witherspoon in the leading roles, other members of the company will include Ethel Regan, Mildred Battin, Frank Chid dix, Roy Hilliard, Barney Wolfe, Bloyce Wright, Billy Baucom and Ted North. "In the Wrong Bed” is one of the feature plays of the engage ment here. This is said to be about the funniest play ever written. Other plays are "Blindness of Youth”, “Up Popped the Devil,” and “Politics and Petticoats.” Each of the plays will be staged with special scenery. There will be one performance each evening starting at eight thirty and both before the per formance and between the acts there will be a number of high class vaudeville features which will be changed each evening. Farr Goes Route With Brown Bomber Joe Louis, holder of the heavy weight championship, and Tommy Farr, who is the heavyweight champion of the British isles, met in the Yankee Stadium in New York last Monday night for the title that Louis won a couple of months ago from James Braddock. The fight went the limit, fifteen rounds, and was a surprise all the way. American sport writers, not having received a lesson from the Schmelling-Loius fight, made little of the British challenger and the average lover of sports, acting upon the matter took what he read as the dope from people who should know and were convinced that the Welshman had no chance at all and looked for his elimination in four or five rounds. So what was their surprise when the chal lenger Tarried the fight to the dusky champion in practically every round, having decidly the better of the contest in many of the rounds. Farr put up a great fight and practically all of the O’Neill fistic lovers, who listened to the account over the radio, were con vinced that Farr could get noth ing worse than a draw, but the judges decided otherwise and gave the fight to Louis on points. In the fifteenth and last round Farr socked Louis with rights and lefts and had him hanging on trying to evade punishment. Had the fight gone to a finish it might have had a different result. One thing cer tain Louis lost a lot of his pres tage as a result of this fight and he may be an easy mark for the next good man he enters the ring with.

Session Ends The first session of the Seventy continued on page 8, column 4.) Striking Force Exerted in a Collision NO ONE would be foolish enough to drive an automobile off of a precipice into a straight drop of 120 feet, but the driver who fails to slow down when an approaching car is on the wrong side of the road is running as great a risk. If the driver of the on-coming car is asleep, as sometimes happens, the car will remain on the wrong side of the road. In the event of a collision, with both cars trav eling but 30 miles per hour, they would strike with the force of a 120 foot drop. If corpses could speak, they would warn us not to take for granted an obstruction will be removed by the time we reach it. When a car is ap proaching on the left side of the road it is wise to slow down to a speed so that you can drive into the ditch if necessary to avoid collision. If forced off the road at 40 miles per hour you would strike a solid object such as a tele phone pole with an impact equal to a drop of 53.5 feet. At a speed of only 20 miles per hour the impact would equal a drop of 13.4 feet. Few people would willingly attempt that small a drop in an automobile. (Copyright, 1937, P. L. Cummings, Des Moines, la.) — Traffic Violations are increasing daily—motor vehicle accidents also are greater as the speed mania grips the nation and carelessness in driving remains unchecked.
