SHIELDS
A miscellaneous shower was giv
en at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
James Earley for the benefit of
Miss Gertrude Conway, a very at
tractive daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Martin Conway, who announced
the engagement and approaching
marriage of their daughter, Ger
trude, to Mr. Charles Thomson of
Chambers, who apparently is a very
likeable young man. The wedding
took place at St. Patrick’s church
in O’Neill Feb. 15.
Games and dancing and the even
ing program were enchanted by
the presence of several visitors
from O’Neill, who gave the boys
some timely advice by introducing
the Big Apple, that a great many
enjoyed. The general program wa«
a complete success under the man
agement of the committee in
charge, consisting of Mrs. Tula
Currans, Pearl Grutsch; Elizabeth
Donohoe, Miss Mary Gokie, Mary
M. Earley, Lorraine Murray and
Mrs. James Earley. The dance
music was furnished by the newly
organized orchestra composed of
Martha Murphy, Sallie Murray and
Cora Murray, assisted by Mrs.
Thomas Coyne and Gerald Dono
hoe on the piano and fiddle. The
live music added considerable pep
and we all enjoyed this classical ad
dition, and it sounded a whole lot
better than this canned stuff that
comes over the radio.
Our group of young and old al
ways have a splendid time at these
rural affairs. However we nytice
that a great many stood around
and naturally the gentlemen do
not like to ask girls with whom
they arc not acquainted to dance,
and what can the girls do? The
purpose of these socials is to meet
one another occasionally and have
a good time exchanging different
views on the general topics of the
day. But actually very few intro
ductions take place. For the suc
cess of the future I would suggest
that they appoint a receiving com
mittee to act as host and hostess.
A Paul Jones or two would bring
the group together and insure a
general good time. Those who took
part in this event are too numerous
to mention, and I don't feel quali
fied to recall those that made very
valuable donations towards the
shower.
After the gifts wen opened, and
donators name announced by the
groom, Mr. Thompson made a few
brief remarks extending his thanks
and appreciation of the esteem in
which Gertrude is held by her num
erous friends in this locality.
A bountiful lunch was served,
after which the guests all settled
down to the general routine of
business until daylight, a time that
the participant wrill always remem
ber. Whenever Tom Coyne won a
game you could tell by his gleeful
actions that he was tickled to get
a scratch. Tom will likely admit
we have a few sharks left that
know a thing or two about cards.
This concluded the evening pro
gram,all extending congratulations
to the prospectives and thanking
the Earley. family for furnishing
such a commodious place to cele
brate. E. E.
(Continued from page 1.)
What’s going to happen to the
1939 federal road money which the
states have apportioned to them is
squarely up to the congress. It
looks, however, as if the house com
mittee will take some affirmative
action and recommend to the house
that it back up its original law and
let the states continue their 1939
road work status quo. If the house
committee does not act on the two
bills sent to it by the two cabinet
officers, then some resolution may
come up in the house to either fol
low the President’s recommenda
tions or to affirm the intent of the
1939 road law.
The federal and state road pro
gram is on a two-year advance
basis. Most of the program for
1938 has been completed and it is
possible that sortie states have
made some submissions of pro
jects for 1939. So the house com
mittee has two big problems. One
what to do about the 1939 money
already allocated to the various
states under the existing law and
what to do about the President’s
recommendations to cut the
amounts in the 1940-41 authori
zation bill which the committee
is now ready to report out.
One of the last witnesses before
the committee was Thomas Me
Donald, chief of the bureau o
public roads, who told the commit
tee some curtailment in expendi
tures on roads can be made with
out seriously impairing the genera
highway program. The hearing
on this matter will become a valu
able text book for everyone inter
ested in our present and future
highway program.

needs in our drouth districts and
believe they have made some head
way toward securing recognition.
The grasshopper control program
of this little group of farm memb
