Miss Jo Ann Burgess of O’Neill .sAi nt Saturday visiting Lois fdl ;■ The Guy Cole family enter tained on Thursday to celebrate the New Year and in honor of Grandma Cole’s eighty-ninth birthday. In spite of the bad weather all the guests but one ar rived. There were twenty-eight present. Guests included the Pat McGuinis, the John Conard fam ily, Esther Harris and children of O’Neill, the Pete Brion family of Ewing, Mrs. John Anspach, Shir ley Bates, J. B. Ryan and Patsy Kruse of O’Neill and M. B. Hoff man of Elgin. On New Year day Mr. and Mrs. Guy Cole received a letter from “Scotty,” Harry Wark. As so many Emmet folks and O’Neill folks know him the letter has been given to us to publish Harry or “Scotty’’ as every one knows him has been in the Army since the start of hostilities in 1939. He is now a captain in the British forces. His letter follows: HOMEPARK, ABERDOUR, N. B. SCOTLAND. 9th December 1941. Dear Guy and Ethel: Its a couple of weeks since I got your letter of 16th October and haven’t answered it so far. as I was waiting to hear from Mary that she had got the Silk Stockings. Up until four days age they had not arrived, so 11 guess you’re right about the Censoi having some Girl fnonds whe also require Silk Stockings. Any way I feel I must write now an. commiserate with you Friends now up to the neck in the Shoot ing War with those little yellow B__s. I’ve had a lo. of ex perience of them in business, and believe me they are the biggest lot of two-faced Twisters unhung Thre’s only one consolation I can find, and that is that everything that I’ve ever seen them produce for commercial competition is ab-j solutely pure rubbish. They cut us out right and left with this cheap junk, but the customers soon found out the worth of it and came back for something substan tial in the long run. Well now I’m hoping that there Battleship, Equipment, etc., are on a similiai scale—just cheap rubbish. I’ve certainly heard it said that thei Aeroplanes are only good foi about one good trip here’s hoping anyway. Now you Boys get your sleeves rolled up and between us we’ll lay that ‘'YELLOW PERIL’’ Bogey for good and all. In your letter you forecast that Hitler will be in Moscow before 1 receive it. At the moment of writ ing there’s no signs, and he’s on the run from Tananogrod in the South. Actually its rather mira culous because for some odd rea son Winter in Europe has not really arrived. We’ve had a few little Frosts you know, but real winter has held off. Its bound tc come, and after having tasted five and ten below in Nebraska once or twice, there’s no man or Earth going to convince me that Germans or anyone else car handle Iron Tanks and hold Steel Machine Guns, etc., when ZERO weather is around. I remember the Spring of 1940 in France we had a ten day cold snap when Wea ther was about Zero. I was in an old Stable with no doors and win dows and eight other Chaps. We pooled all our Blankets and just selpt in a heap, and I’m telling you if any enemy had come along with a machine gun, I, for one would have told him to go ahead and for God’s sake be quick about it. Fighting in the Pacific (what a name for that Cauldron!) won’t be so unpleasant from that as Charter No. 6770 Reserve District No. 10 a REPORT OF THE CONDITION OF The O’Neill National Bank of O’Neill, in the State of Nebraska, at the close of business on December 31, 1941 ’ublished in response to call made by Comptroller of the Currency, under Section 6211, U.

Member Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation pect, but I suppose the old Enemys Tyhoid, Typhus etc., will lend a hand to the Grisly business L>y the way, all this kind of Canned Grub from the States is mighty welcome, but maybe now it won’t be so plentiful. I got r tin of ‘‘SPAN” the other day. and also MOR, put up by Hormels of someplace in Minnesota. By jovc it was lovely. You see there was a time here when things were.pretty bleak, and there was a joke going around that there were three kinds of Bread—Black Bread— kinds of Bread—Black Bread— Brown Bread—and Sausage. Well, there was a lot of truth in that and you’ve no idea how good your Tins of Pork Sausage Meat Taste. We’re rationed of course still, but there’s plenty Grub to go around now; in any case I was getting a bit of a “Kite” on me and thats all gone now. By Jove, you make me envious when you talk about Hunting foi Ducks and Pheasants. One of these days I hope I’ll get a crack at that game again. I ought to be a better shot by this time! Cer tainly Guy can have nothing or his conscience when he goes out to shoot Pheasants, because I re member very well, in 1924 1 think it was, he was instrumental, through the Izaak Walton League in getting the first Chinese Phea sants released in Holt County. Poor old Ward Cosgrove was a great enthusiast too; extraordin great enthusiant too; extraordin ary how he chucked away the chance to enjoy the Hunting of them. Fine I remember Hammy Allen and sorry to hear he was ill. He’s had a good Innings anyway, and I mind how he always was yarn ing about his Trotting Horses. For years I had to go to the Races when traveling around the World on business—really just to “Show my Face”, but I always thought of Hammy then. Never forget Dugal for buying my fine Saddle off me for $15.00 one time when I had been hitting up the Moonshine. Now that I have Tweedales ad dress I am writing as the Canad ians get moved about the Country quite a lot and we might be close together. We never could be very far apart in this Country, as you know. Your Zane must be 19 past now, and I do hope you will man age to keep him out of this War game. Its no good for anyones peace of mind either now or in the future. Just look at the rest less wandering life I’ve had over the last War! Of course, there are compensations; for instance I should never have met you if I hadn’t gone to the “Great War’’— I wonder what they will call this one? Please write again.
