VOL. LX11 O'NEILL, NEBRASKA, THURSDAY, APRIL 30, 1942 NUMBER 51
SOUTHWESTERN
BREEZES
By Romaine Saunders
Claude Lierman canvassed
Swan precinct last week for
pledges from the patriots to buy
bonds and defense stamps, which
is a reminder that all out war
penetrates the remote places also.
Neighbor Berry has been rein
forcing pasture fences of late
with black creosoted posts a step
apart and tightening wires, thus
indicating they are putting in a
herd of elephants or are expect
ing an army of invasion.
The food and commodity ration
ing as a war measure is no child’s
play—it is one of the most stupen
dous undertakings in the whole
program to preserve our liberty
loving hides—an undertaking that
will entail a bit of self-discipline
to bear humanly with a lot of
blunders, bungling and useless
restrictions.
By slightly less than a two-to
one vote, students down at the
State University arbitrarily make
it compulsory for students to
subscribe for the campus sheet,
whether or not the student wants
it, can afford it or has no use
for it. That’s one way to build up
a sagging newspaper subscription
list—sort of Hitlerized method.
While on business in his part
of the county, L. G. Gillespie of
O’Neill stopped for a visit at the
home of the Breezes last Thurs
day. While not authorizing m-:
to say so, Lloyd has about de
cided to become a candidate for
the legislature. He served in a
session of the legislature and by
strict attention to the business for
which he was elected 'secured
greater recognition of this district
than anyone since Dennis Cronin
got a state aid bridge billll enated
into law. L G.’s friends know he
is no mere chair warmer.
When the Mormon trains of
weary men and beasts came to rest
in the Rocky Mountain wilderness
they went to work cutting ditches,
building highways, laying out
cities, and productive farms, and
nobody thought of waiting for
“government aid.” That was a
hundred years ago. When dad,
your dad and mine, came to the
prairie wilderness they did like
wise. Nobody anywhere now can
save their necks or their property
from floods and the identical ele
ments that have always prevailed
without “federal grants.” With
the country being raked with fine
tooth combs for nickles and dimes
for more and more war material
we need a revival of initiative,
self reliance and the ability to do
things for ourselves.
Footfalls echo with subdued
thud through the lobby as you
plant a booted foot on the floor
at the entrance to the court house
and your attention is drawn to
an inscribed tablet on the wall.
Here, in rhetorical heroics, is a
spot which “forever enshrines”
to posterity the memory of the
pioneers. How much of this is
sincere, how much flamboyant
jesture? Community interests,
community respect—or more, a
decent tribute by fraternal and re
ligious associates, as measured by
the attendance at the funeral of a
fallen pioneer—one who in early
youth or maiden years had a
part in forging the future of a
home on the lone prairie. And
tpow, in death’s cold embrace,
another lifeless one is receiving
the rights of burial—surounded
by many of the community? No,
often a mere handful who still
have a gracious thought. This
tells the story rather than that
tablet hung in cold dignity on the
wall of the court house.
Many would deplore to see the
Red Cross descend from its high
callling as an agency of mercy
to put those universally respected
nurses on a level with the bar
tender by dispensing liquor to our
armed forces. To a field now
well occupied with solicitors,
another recently formed group
puts in its bid for funds from the
public to provide “entertainment
for the boys.” Is that the stuff of
which soldiers are made? Is that
the way the powerful foes have
massed their millions? There is
one vacant bed in our home. The
boy is in service with other boys.
We would not want him coddled
by “talented” entertainers and
naked dancing girls. Is war a
plaything or a hard, serious busi
ness? Can it be won with movies
and dancing parties and brewery
products? The men in uniform
and fathers and mothers and sis
ters across the land will have to
forego the play, grit their teeth
and wade in with unfaltering de
termination to overwhelm the
mighty foe. Newsy, encouraging
bright letters from home and
friends—that’s the sort of enter
tainment that helps the men in
uniform.
If You Wish Articles
Published, Sign Them
There is hardly a week that this
ffice does not receive a letter for
publication that does not give the
the name of the writer. We have
repeatedly stated in these columns
hat the name of the writer
must be attached to the article,
not necessarily for publication,
but so that the editor knows from
whom the article comes from.
This rule is adopted by all reput
able newspapers throughout the
country, as a matter of self pro
tection. Where names are not
signed, and we do not know from
where they come, they are not
published.
A week ago we received a very
nice article from a person signing
herself a Frontier reader, respond
ing to the request of the Draft
Board for advice on what they
should do. The letter is very
good and we concur in most of the
sentiments expressed therein, but
as the writer did not sign her
name we have been unable to
publish it. Remember, when you
Write anything for publication
sign your name to it. If you do
not want your name used, indicate
that fact after your signature and
your wishes will be complied
with, but the editor must know
from whom the article comes.
Conoco Oil Company
Installs New Service
The Coninental Oil Company
has installed a new service in the
stations, now handling their Con
oco products. Hereafter when a
customer drives in to one of their
gas stations the attendants check
the tires and will take their num
ber, that is the serial number
and make of their tires, a copy of
which will be handed to the cus
tomer and a copy of which will
be retained by the garage. In case
the tires are stolen and the own
er losses the slip given him at
the Conoco station he will be
able to get their number from the
Conoco dealer who services his
car. In these days of tire shortage
and the desire of people to pilfer
those belonging to someone else,
this will prove of valuable assis
tance in locating stolen tires and
result in the apprehension of the
thieves.
Young Music Contestants
Need Transportation
Several of the students of the
O’Neill High School and St.
Mary’s Academy who won super
ior ratings at the recent music

sirous of attending the contest at

to the citizens of this city and
community to see that these
young folks are able to get to
Omaha.
Any of our citizens who are
willing to furnish transportation
to some of these young musicians
to Omaha are requested to get in
touch with one of the members
of the committee who have charge
of the transportation problem.
The committee members are: Mrs.
W. J. Froelich, Mrs. L. E. Barrett

willing to help out get in touch
with one of these committee mem

REWARD NOTICE
The City of O’Neill will pay a
Reward of $10.00 for information
leading to the arrest of those who
destroyed property of the City in
the City Park last Sunday, April
16, 1942.
JOHN KERSENBROCK,
Mayor
Spending Money To
Make Decent Park—
Kids Try To Destroy It
The members of the City Coun
cil and other citizens have been
busy the past two years in trying
♦o fix up the City Park so that it
could be enjoyed by the residents
of the city and it is surprising
the number of the people of the
city who were there every Sun
day. weather agreeable, having
lunch and enjoying the outdoors.
Last summer several hoodlums
did considerable damage to the
property in the Park and they
have already started it this year.
Last Sunday a bunch were down
there and destroyed property that
will take some time to replace. It
was probably done by boys, but
they should have known better
and if they have not been taught
that the property of other people
was to be respected it is time for
some one to teach them, even if
it has to be the Courts. Mayor
Kersenbrock says that they are
ready and willing to pay a reward
for information leading to the ar
rest of anyone damaging City
Park property, of any City prop
erty and the chances are that
those responsible will soon be ap
prehended and punished. In this
movement the officials will be sup
ported by all of the citizens of the
city.
This office is in receipt of a
letter from Mrs. Kate Mitchell,
better known here as Katie (Flor)
Sullivan, who now lives at Jeffers,
Mont., extending her subscription
to The Frontier Her aunt, Nora
Sullivan, who was a resident of
this city and county for over
forty years, makes her home with
her and Mrs. Mitchell says that
despit her 85 and a half years
that she still retains a remarkable
memory and loves to get The
Frontier each week so that she
can learn the happenings in her
old home town, where she lived
for so many years. Nora has
many friends in this city and
county who join with us in extend
ing congratulations to her on her
long and peaceful life and hope
that she will go many years past
the century mark and be happy
and contented all the time.

to Old Holt, which has been his
home for so many years, that he
cannot be weaned away from it.
Frank has passed his 83rd birth
day but is as spry as many men
twenty-five years younger. He
gets around as spry as many*
younger men and can find hi
way where many younger men
W'ould falter. He has many friends
