National Defense
Aluminum Drive
Plans foV collection of National
Defense aluminum were made .in
O’Neill Thrusday, when Lieutenant
Governor Wm. E. Johnson flew to
O’Neill to meet with the county
planning committee on the alum
inum drive.
The county with Coynty Super,
visor W. E. Wulf of Ewing as chair
man is composed of county agent
Lyndle R. Stout as vice chairman
and the mayor of each town in t)te
county. The drive in each town
is to be carrien out by such groupi
ng the American Legion and auxiti
ady, 4.H club members, Boy and
Girl Scouts, and Women’s clubs.
Aluminum collected is to i>e
brought to the pump house, where
it is to be held until it can be
graded and shipped to the smelter.
The aluminum drive is to be n<}n
profit as far as any individual is
conrerned and the fund resulting
will be turned into the U. S. trea
sudy for National Defense.
There are three important fajtohs
concerned with the drive; the pix>
ceeds will be used for National
defense, this is to be a ffree will
offering, and no person will |>e
asked to give any aluminum which
is needed .and people are urged not
to donate aluminum which must be
replaced immediately with othei
metals.
This is the first time that the
government has called on the people
directly during the national emer
gency and we know that Holt
County will do more than its share.
Local P. C. A. Have Great
Increase In Business
First Six Months
Farmers stockmen of Holt County
helped to swell the loan volume
of the O’Neill Production Credit
Association up to July last this yeai
to the largest six-months figure
in the credit co-op’s history, accord,
ing to D. C. Schafer of O’Neill, a
director and president.
Reporting $225,000.00 loaned dur
ing the first six months of this
year, Mr. Schaffer said a good
share of it went to finance seasonal
operations of Holt County farmers
and stockmen. The 1941 figure is
$23,000.00 over the 1940 figure
of $202,000.00 for the same period.
Some of the increase, he said, can
be attributed to farmers’ increas
ing production of certain farm com
modities to aid the national defense
program.
Reports from all over the nation,
the Production Credit director de
clared, indicate that some time
during July^ some farmer or stock
man somewhere in the United States
will receive the two billionth dollar
to be loaned by a I “reduction Credit
Association. Since the O’Neill
Association was organized by far
j mere and stockmen ki the fall of
1934, it has loaned $1,807^,525.00 ,to
finance livestock and general farm
ing operations in Holt, Boyd,
Wheeler and Garfield counties.

NO BEER
AFTER
f HOURS
r
• • . . ,
The great majority of Nebraska beer retailers observe the
closing hour regulations in their communities. Patrons who ask
them to violate that regulation are asking them to take the grave
risk of losing their retail license—and their livelihood.
By their conscientious law observance, retailers are cooperating
with the Nebraska Brewers and Beer Distributors Committee in
its program of sincere assistance to law enforcement officials to
keep beer retailing on a plane as wholesome as the beverage it6elf.
YOU, the public, are also asked to cooperate in this program.
Yon can do so by not asking the retailer to sell after legal hours
. . . and by refusing your patronage to the few who do. Give
your patronage to the law-abiding retailer. He’s the one who’ll
stay in business permanently, anyway.
