Northeast Holt Pioneer
Remembers Rev. Plain,
One of the First Min
i isters in The County
In reading the Norfolk Daily
News of May 25, I note that Page
held a celebration in honor of Rev.
Bartley Blain, who was the first
Methodist minister of Holt county.
I would like to say that Rev. Blain
also organized a church at Pleas
ant Valley school house, near what
is now known as Meek in the year
1881, and made the trip on foot
from Middle Branch to preach at
the school house, often coming on
Saturday night and staying over
night at the home of my parents,
Mr. and Mrs. A. F. Rouse. Later
on he procurred a horse and came
on horseback.
In the year of 1894 Marquette
Chapel was built and dedicated and
Rev. Blain was one of the leading
pastors to attend that dedication.
Rev. Blain was in the ministry 62
years and saw all the hardships of
a pioneer country.
The writer has many pleasant
memories of Rev. Blain, as have
many others, who were living at
that time in the locality.
—Mrs. F. H. Griffith.
City Officials Make New
Contract With Interstate
Power Company
The City Council met in special
session last Thursday evening to
take up the matter of street light
ing, the present contract expiring
on June 12, after five years.
A new contract was entered into
for a five year period and the city
made a saving on the new contract
of about 21 per cent, over the sum
paid the past five years, a siv
ing of $619.40 per year or a sav
ing in the five year period of
$3,097.00.
The matter of the pumping of
the water for the city was then
taken up. The present contract
the interstate Power Company had
with the city had still two and a
half years to run, but the com
pany agreed to cancel the present
contract, which called for a straight
3 cents per kilowatt and would en
ter into a new contract with the
city for a five year period at a
reduced rate. The new contract
provides that between the hours of
9:30 p. m. and 7:30 a. m. the city
shall pay two cents per kilowatt
hour and from from 7:30 a. m. to
9:30 p. m., three cents per kilo
watt hour, the same as the old
rate. City officials are of the
opinion that the new contract will
mean a saving of at least 15 per
cent on the cost of pumping water
for the city. Both of these new
contracts mean a substantial sav
ing to the city of O’Neill.

European War Is Still
Raging in France
The war in Euprope still rages
and Germany is now in possession
of Paris and over half of France.
France has sued for peace, but the
demands made by Germany and
her ally, Italy, will probably be so
severe that they will reject the of
fer. It seems though that F’rance
is lost to the allies for the present.
England says that they will still
continue to fight and believe that
they will eventually be victorious
in the struggle.
In this country the congress is
still appropriating money for
national defense, to build a larger
navy and hundreds of airplanes. It
came to light yesterday in Wash
ington that the government, the
leaders of which are afraid that
Germany and her ally will raid the
United States, has been turning
over to the builders many air
planes and vessels which have been
transferred to the Allies, or to Eng
land. If we are in such danger of
a war, why are we turning our
means of defense over to a for
eign power?
The Weather
Last Monday was the warmest
day of the year, 1940, when
the mercury climbed to 96 during
the afternoon, but it cooled to 92
on Tuesday and this, Thursday,
morning it is really chilly as a re
sult of a thundershower in O’Neill
when it rained eight hundredths
of an inch. However in the north
part of the county, they had a
good rain, about two inches falling
in the vicinity of Phoenix. May
was the second driest month in the
history of Nebraska, for the state
as a whole, and during that month
Holt County received only .03 of
an inch, while so far, during the
month of June 2.81 inches has been
recorded by the official weather

State Officials of FHA
Held Meeting in O’Neill
Last Monday Night
Federal Housing loans for con
struction of new homes, or refin
ancing were explained at a meet
ing at the K. C. Hall at O’Neill
Monday night, June 17, to an aud
ience of material dealers, con
tractors, bankers, real estate men
and others.
Holger Holm of Omaha, State
Director of the Federal Housing
Administration, and Albert E.
Long, Field Representative for the
same organization were the speak
ers.
State Director Holm predicted for
Nebraska the biggest Building ac
tivity seen since 1929, and express
ed the firm belief that O’Neill would
do its share of this residence con
struction work when the people and
the material men understand fully
the opportunity the FHA offers the
public to borrow cheap money for
long terms of years and on exceed
ingly low monthly payments. He
pointed out that under this plan a
25-year loan may be obtained and
that on a $1500 home is is possible
to borrow $1,160, making the pay
ments of principal, interest and
mortgage insurance as low as
$18.81 a month foT a $1,100 loan.
He called attention to the fact that
this is vastly less than rent the
owner would be obliged to pay for
a similar new house if someone
else owned it.

charge, a six foot Serve! Electrolux
Refrigerator, either gas or kero

Nebraska 4-H Club Week
By Patty Schaffer, O’Neill
Three hundred and fifty boys and
girls and leaders of Nebraska’s
4-H clubs had a very enjoyable time
at the twenty-fifth annual 4-H
Club Week in Lincoln.
We were treated very royally all
during our stay and were taken to
| see Omaha and Lincoln. On our
j trips through Lincoln we had pri
vate busses which were for the sole
purpose of carrying 4-H’ers who
were at Club Week, and wherever
we went we were escorted by Po
licemen who rode ahead on motor
cycles. While in downtown Lin
coln we were given our preference
of visiting the stores or a museum.
As we were taken through the cap
ital building, we were given the
privilege of going through the Gov
ernor’s private offices.
The group was taken through
Antelope Park and in the evening
the agricultural college 4-H club
served us a picnic supper.
For vespers we went to the First
Plymouth Congregational Church.
There we sang to the accompany
ment of the carillion bells.
On our trip to Omaha we had a
special train all to ourselves. We
were allowed to walk all over the
train and practically ran it.
While in Omaha we visited the
livestock industries of South Oma
ha. At noon we were served a very
nice dinner in the large dining hall
of the Omaha Exchange Building.
There we made a radio broadcast
and after dinner we were entertain
ed at the Orpheum Theatre.
One day we visited the agricul
tural college campus. The girls
were taken through the home ec
onomics buildings and then the
dairy building. While in the dairy
building we were standing around
a large tank of milk which was
soon to become cheese when a girl
standing near thought there was a
glass plate on the tank. She slap
ped her hand down—Splash.—giv
ing everyone a milk bath.
We were entertained at num
erous banquets given in our honor
by the Chamber of Commerce of
Lincoln, the Chamber of Commerce
of Omaha and the agricultural col
lege. The one given by the agri
cultural college was a leap year af
fair, but I’m afraid it didn’t go
over as such. The girls were too
bashful or shy, I think, because the
boys after waiting until the last
minute finally asked the girls to go
with them.
All in all I had a very nice time
and am looking forward to another
year of 4-H Club work.
Mrs. Frank Froelich and daugh
ters returned Saturday from Aud
abon, Iowa, where they have been
visiting at the home of Mrs. Froe
lich’s parents.
