Oil Company
Starts Pension Fund
Ponca City, Olka.—The Contin
ental Oil Company announced today
the establishment W, a retirement
and pension fund for all of its em
ployees who reach the age of 65 in
the case of men and 60 in the case
of women.
The plan, according to Dan
Moran, president of the Company,
will be cooperative in character,
employees making regular month
ly contributions which will be sup
plemented by a contribution on
the Company’s part. It will provide
a minimum benefit of $20 a month,
and in the average case the total
retirement income including the
Federal pension will amount to £
figure somewhere between one
third and one-half ,of the employ
ee’s salary. For the older employ
ees the Company is providing a
benefit in recognition of service al
ready rendered.
“The new retirement and pen
sion plan”, said Mr. Moran, “was
adopted by the directors of the
Company after authorization by the

THE NEBRASKA
SCENE
(Continued from Page 4)
in independent candidate for con
gress in the First district. She
will oppose Congressman H. C.
Luckey and republican nominee,
George H. Heinke * of Nebraska
City.
Mrs. McGerr was a candidate for
the nomination in 1934. She lost
out by 400 votes. Two years ago
she was active in support of Mr.
Luckey, and her friends passed out
the word that Mr. Luckey would
not file in 1938, but would support!
Mrs. McGerr.
At the Lancaster county demo
cratic convention Mrs. McGerr told
C. L. Clark and others that she
meant to file as an indenpendent.
Partisan pressure was brought to
bear, but Mrs. McGerr persisted.
The independent candidate has
issued a statement supporting the
administration on the main issues.
The policy to be followed by the
Administration in dealing with
members of congress who have
escaped the purge remains a
mystery. In Nebraska several
months ago, word came that Editor
James E. Lawrence of the Lincoln
Star had close contact with the
White House. He conducted pre
primary editorial campaigns again
st Congressman Coffee and Luckey.
At the democratic state conven
tion at Columbus, John C. Mullen,
brother of the late Arthur F. Mul
len, commanded the forces that
heretofore worked under the di
rection of the late chieftain. The
policy of the Mullen forces was one
of affability and kindness. Editor
Lawrence, as author of the plat
form, encountered no opposition.
The first tug of war is expected
soon after election when a United
States Marshall is named to suc
ceed J. C. Byrnes. The latter was
a personal friend of the late Arthur
Mullen. Before his death, it has
been stated, Arthur Mullen made
a ‘‘last request”. He asked that
one of his friends be named to fill
the place. There are more than
twenty candidates for the position.
Senator Norris has always dis
avowed interest in patronage. Since
the death of Arthur Mullen and
Senator Burke’s alienation from the
administration, the senior sena
tor may be compelled to take part
in the naming of appointees in
order to protect the administration
against the inroads of the Burke
forces in 1940. There is a possi
bility that he might be induced tt>
cooperate with Editor Lawrence m
patronage matters.
YOUTH
Youth is not the age of pleasure;
we then expect too much, and we
are, therefore, exposed to daily
disappointments and mortifications.
When we are a little older, and have
brought down our wishes to our
experience, then we become calm
and begin to enjoy ourselves.—Lord
Liverpool.
FRIENDSHIP
A good man is the best friend,
and therefore soonest to be chosen,
longest to be retained and indeed
never to be parted with, unless he
ceases to he that for which he is
chosen.—Jeremy Taylor,
Miss Joan Pharris of Long Pine,
Nebraska, spent the week-end with
Mrs. Goldie Liddy.
Mr. and Mrs. Melvin Kurty, Mr.
and Mrs. Await Spangler and
daughter, Lavon drove to Martin,
South Dakota, Sunday to visit the
new baby born to Mr. and Mrs.
Melvin Clyde. Mrs. Clyde was
formally Beulah Spangler.
