SPORT NOTES By Bystander This week I thought that I would give you my idea that I think would help both the Saint Mary’s Cardinals and the O’Neill Eagles to become better known in the state and which would also decide which is the best team in this section of the state. My idea is that O’Neill teams ought to get together and form a football and basketball league. In football O’Neill could get six or eight other teams together and they could have a good league and I think it would make the game more interesting to the specta ores. St. Mary’s could get together with Stuart, Long- Pine, Page, Chambers, Verdige and they could arrange games and have the one who won the most games become the league champion. In basketball they could do the same thing. Here are the teams I think could got together and form a swell league: Saint Mary’s, O’Neill High, Page High, Inman High. Ewing High, Atkinson High, Spencer High, St. Joseph Acad emy (Atkinson) and Orchard. This would make a ten league team; you could have each team play; each other once and the winner of the most games be the league champion. And if it ended in a tie you could let the officals decide where to have the play off for the championship. A lot of these teams play each other anyway and all these towns are pretty close together so there would not be such great dif ficulty reaching their destination. Way back in 1933 to 1936 their used to be a Niobrara Valley con ference of which O'Neill was a1 member. The conference was; held in two sports, football and 1 track and O'Neill won the con ference in both more than once. I do not see why they closed the league and I surely think it would be a great thing for the two schools in O'Neill to form leagues. There is the North Central Con ference, Atkinson, Spencer and three other teams belong to that but I do think they could get together and have a bigger and better league. And if it is at all possible the coaches and superin tendents of both schools should get together and decide if they could form a football, basketball, and track league or not. It would be backed by the people of O’Neill I am sure of that and the people of the other towns around here would also be in favor of a league, for it would not cost any money and the games would probably draw larger crowds. So until Next Week I’ll say See You Next Week. Look After Your Refrigerators i The freezing of production of family-sized mechanical refrig erators by the War Production Board mean that every homemak er will want to operate her pres ent refrigerator so that it will last longer, serve better, and con serve energy, it was pointed by Miss Maude Mathews, Home Demonstration Agent in Holt County. Check the location of your re frigerator, she advised. See that it is not next to a wall which is warmed by the sun and is not too close to the stojre.

Six inches and pre ferably twelve inches above the top, so there will be good circula tion of air. A gas refrigerator needs two and a half inches at the back, from ten to twelve inches above the top. Check the temperature of your refrigerator. You’re wasting en ergy if you keep the temperatures anywhere in the cabinet below' 40 degrees. The coldest spot in the cabinet should be between forty degrees and forty-five at all times for keeping milk and raw meat. But the temperature should never get above fifty degrees anywhere in the cabinet. Defrost the refrigerator before the ice on the freezing unit gets IV4 inch thick. This usually is one a week, but will be more often in summer or humid climates. Keep the refrigerator clean. Put only clean foods and clean containers into it. Defrosting time is a good time to give it a through cleaning. Bring all warm foods to room temperatures before you put them in the refrigerator. Cover all foods except those that have thick skins. Store only foods that need refrigerator temperatures to keep them. Don’t overcrowd the re frigerator. Do not open the door oftener or longer than necessary D. B.
