SOUTHWESTERN
BREEZES
By Romaine Saunders
Automobile and tire dealers will
have to make a living some way.
Say the WPA w$ll continue
lo fuunction.
Nebraske citizens would be
just as happy without a lot of
things, among which is a game
and fish commission.
The mistress of the White House
regrets that women were not in
cluded in the registration. Most
of the young gents would be glad
to step asnde and let the ladies
put on the uniforms.
After the fanfare and show
manship, the resplendent strut
ting and wraving of plumes; after
the bubbles of bombast and super
latives have exploded and tfie
last play made to the galleries,
where there is the biggest crowd,
a Lincoln somewhere among us
will stride into the picture and co
ordinate the American might for
effective blows, or we are no
longer worthy the heritage of our
fathers.
Someone mailed one of the
94-page Tapeline editions of the
Hastings Daily Tribune of Febru
ary 9th. I can make a good
guess on who sent it and am not
unmindful of how such courtesies
keep fresh the fragrance of
friendship’s memories. It is a
remarkable achievement in jour
nalism to come out of a city the
size of Hastings, which could not
be surpassed in the newspaper
plants of the country’s great
cities.
Many state papers have been
content with a mediocre existence
while the Tribune has attained
national recongnition as the best
in its class. Forty years ago the
Tribune was a notable among Ne
braska weeklies, Adam Breede’s
cheerful bits of verse glittering
in brilliency at a time when Doc
Bixby and Walt Macon were writ
ing jingles. Among the group of
pictures of the force of workers
employed by The Tribune I see the
smiling face of Mark Miller who
I knew as a pressman down at
Lincoln. He has apparently aband
oned the noisy rumble of press
es for the pleasanter occupation of
a compositor.
Winter clouds obscured the
prairie sunsets for many days. It
was mid-February, with the com
ing of biting winds blowing an
icy breath across the land, before
the mists and fogs and clounds
were blown from the sunlit blue
of azure skies. On that first clear
evening the sunset glow spread
its reddened flame across the long
prairie rim and reached high its
paler tints to the darkening pur
ple of coming night. An hour lat
er a bright strip of new moon
hung in, concave beauty above the
point where the sun was last seen.
Stars glow like far-off-lights as
the calm night settles once again
over the prairie. In early morning
the planet Venus is seen like a ball
of fire through the treetops to the
east. And then we are given a
cloudless day, drenched in sunlit
beauty. To shut out the noise
and confusion of a world gone
mad; to feel the spirtual inspir
ation in a bit of quite contem
plation away from the multitude
of maddening voices, get out in the
open alone, with eyes lifted to the
heavens. A lot of life’s vexations
will then seem less important.
Behind the counters in a well
appointed saintary little store
dealing in food stuffs immaculate
ly groomed girls waited on cus
tomers with dept and dainty fin
gers, never once touching an ar
ticle of food with those fingers,
but first placing a bit of sanitary
paper over it before handling the
couslomer’s order. A more com
mon experience is to enter a food
store where everything is handed
out with bare, unwashed hands.
Factory wrapping, on much which
comes from grocery shelves is a
measure of sanitary assurance to
the public but not everything is
so wrapped. A cheerful faced cuss
juggles a quarter of beef, cuts off
a hunk and wraps it for a cus
tomer. Goes to the next who is
waiting at a candy case and paws
the sweet morsels out of a tray
with unwashed hands, sacked up
the purchase and goes to the next
who happens to be a fellow wait
ing for a pound of cheese and a
dozen of doughnuts. Then he has

another assortment to soiled
hands. An old scout calls for a
plug of tobacco, then a lady is
served with a couple of fish
from a box of ice. And so it goes
through the day handling a hund
red things that go into the mouths
of adults and children. In the
first instance the serving of the
immaculately groomed girls be
comes a gastronomic inspiration,
while the latter has to be taken
with eyes closed.
War takes its toll alike of noble
and depraved souls. Poet and
rowdy go down in the mighty
crash of nations. There has been
lost to America a bright star that
flashed for a brief moment and is
gone. A nineteen year old citizen
of the United States, John Magee,
Jr., was reported killed in active
service with the Canadian Royal
Air Force. Listen to these lines
the young American scribbled on
the back of an envelope after one
of his first flights:
“Oh, I have slipped the surly
bonds of earth
And danced the skies on laugh
ter silver wings;
Sunward I’ve climbed, and joined
the tumbling mirth
Of sunlit clouds, and done a
thousand things
You have not dreamed of—wheel
ed and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence.
Hov’ring there
I’ve chased the shouting wind
along, and flung
My eager craft through footless
halls of air.
Up, up the long, delirious,
burning blue
I’ve topped the wind-swept
heights with easy grace
Where never lark, nor even
eagle flew—
And while with silent lifting
mind I’ve trod
The high, untrespassed sanctity
of space,
Put out my hand and touched
the face of God.”
In one of those cheerful centers
of democracy and social equality
where neighborhood living is the
simplest and at its best, a coun
try grocery store, a customer or
two stood at the counter. Others
hovered about in a radious of the
warmpth drifting in Waves from
a stove and discussed the price of
cattle or spoke of the big wages a
son or nephew was making in a
factory turning out airplanes. A
lady came in with a pail rounded
full of eggs which she deposited
on the floor to be counted when
a clerk could get to it and then
moved to the stove to thaw out.
With the easy familiarity of a
group in a country store even
though strangers, a gent on the
side lines taking in the scene re
marked to the lady she had
brought in a pail of nice eggs.
“The hens are doing very well,”
she replied to the compliment. “I
bring three pails full every week
to the store now.” “You will have
to get a larger pail, as they are
about to roll off that one,” observ
ed the sociable gent. “Yes, or come
oftener,” said this pleasant farm
woman. The 1942 goal set for the
nation’s hens is fifty billion four
hundred million eggs, if you care
to count them. Nebraska hens are
supposed to have a part in meet
ing this goal to the extent of one
billion four hundred sixteen mil
lion eggs. To meet this demand
the three pails a week contributed I
by the lady’s flock will have to be
multiplied many times by the,
barnyard flocks throughout the
state.
St. Mary’s lx>scs
Two More (tames
Saint Mary’s Cardinals lost two
more basketball games this last
week; they jusst couldn't seem to
get going. On Friday night the
Cardinals lost a hard game to
Plainview in a overtime 27 to 25.
Saint Mary's played good ball the
first half but the last half they
couldn't seem to get going and
Flainview tied it up in the last
few miruites and in the overtime
went out and won.
Saint Mary's has played three
overtime games this year and they
have lost all of them. They just
seem to get tired and they don't
have enough reserves to send in
for replacements.
Sur-uay, in the last game, the
twenty-sixth of the season, the
Cardinals were hosts to
the Sacred Heart (Norfolk)
quintet and the Sacred boys won
easily 28 to 10. Grady and Jano
seck, two forwards of St. Mary's
couldn't play. Grady was sick and
George Janoseck had his eye hurt
in the Inmlan game and he has
yet to recover from it. Grady will
be able to play in the District
Tournament but Janoseck won't.
The Cardinals felt the lost of three
forwards when they just couldn’t
seem to get going. With half the
first quarter gone in. the Card
irvils lead on Harty free throw,
then Sacred made a basket and
a free throw to forge in front 3
to 1. Then Harty made a one hand
er to tie it up, but this was short
lived as the boys from Norfolk
made two baskets in a row to
lead at the half, first quarter 7 to
3. During the second quarter the
Cardinals played what can be call
ed rotten ball as the cagers from
Norfolk made three baskets and
two free throws while holding the
Cardinals scoreless, and the half
ended 15 to 3.
After intermission the Cardinals
made a basket right away to make
it 15 to 5 and for a few minutes
it looked like the Cardinals might
tie it up but Sacred Heart made
two more baskets that quarter and
the Cardinals made one more and
the third quarter ended 19 to 7.
The fourth quarter was all in
favor of Sacred Heart; they start
ed it out by making it 22 to 7.
Then the Cardinals made three
points to make it 22 to 10 but
Sacred Heart made two more bas
kets to end the scoring 26 to 7 in
their favor.

"Dick” Murray is one of the real
pioneers of this county. We have
known him for about sixty years,
and during all that time, while
we differed radically in political
matters, we wer ^ always close
; friends. Dick Murray, in the days
of his youth was a real man, and
' even today, although years young
er, we would hate to tackle him in
combat of any kind or character.
He was one of the men that built
up this county and made it pos

today to enjoy the freedom that
they enjoy. Long life to Dick
Murray and here’s hoping that he
lives to be over 100.

American Legion
Auxilliary Meets March 3
There will be a meeting of all
those interested in the organiz
ation of a local unit of the Auxili

at the Assembly Room of the
Court House on Tuesday evening,
March 3rd at 8:00 P. M.
All wives, daughters, sisters and
mothers of veterans of the first
World War are eligible to memb
ership and should not only con
sider it a privilege, but their pat
riotic duty, at a time such as we
are experiencing, to become a
member of an organization of this
nature. There is a great work to
be done and the need for the work
is urgent.
An application for a charter for
a unit to be known as Simonson
Unit Number 93 is being submitted
to headquarters, but all those who
wish to become charter members
still have an opportunity to do so
at the very small membership
fee of $1.00. We have a number
of applications signed up, but hope
ot secure many more.
