SOUTHWESTERN
BREEZES

By Romaine Saunders
Maybe the gents with the Herr
Hitler style of moustache should
be looked upon with suspicion.

The Japs have no monopoly on
cruelty. The records of our di
vorce courts read: “Decree grant
ed on grounds of extreme cruelty.”
* f The biggest fool in the world
if was jailed over in India. Now if
two or three of the axis cut
throats can be stowed away calm
will settle over the globe.
Peace to a troubled world may

help us if some of the proposals
eminating from ecclesiastics and
others are brought to concrete and
approved form.
Mr. and Mrs. J. Roblyer of At
kinson were in this community
the first of the week, Jay counting
out a sizeable roll for the pur
chase of a calf at the headquarters
of the Breezes. ,

Mr. and Mrs. Howorth are on a
trip to Idaho and Oregon to visit
their son, who was to join the
army, and other relatives.
Has America’s genius for pract
ical achievement, its matchless
executive heritage, its traditional
statesmanship been blown to the
wind in favor of a glib radio
tongue that is pledged to respond
“yes.”
If you are an expert—maybe
just handy—with tools, not under

’Twas night—a wild rough
night; dark angry storm-clouds
veiled the sky ’mid lightning’s
flash and thunder’s sullen roar.
Don’t know just where I borrowed
the words, of if correct, but such
a night last week a new terror
sprung out of the dark—the dull
glow of a prairie fire starting
among the hills to the west, flash
ed into bright flame, spreading
with burning tongues ever wider.
And then a downpour of rain, put
it out.
Again it has been demonstrated
that our primary is an expensive
joke. Out of 100 votes in Swan
precinct fourteen availed them
selves of the ballot, five of these
being those on the election board.
It is estimated the votes in this
precinct cost the county $5 each.
The primary is the child of the
mugwump—that group that have
no political principles but who
desire to dictate party nomina
tions. If we can’t throw off the
primary maybe a way can be
found for those whp want to re
tain it to bear the expense of
holding the election.
After a residence of fifty-six
years in southern Holt county, the
life span of Mother Gillman clos
ed last Friday at the age of 75
years. Mrs. Gillman was the
mother of one of the leading pion
{ eer families of the Amelia
country. Her husband died a few
years ago. The funeral, attended
by nearly all in the community,
was held Monday at 2 o'clock at
the hall ^n Amelia, Rev. Mr. Con
rad of the Methodist church, of
which the deceased was a mem
ber, bringing words of comfort
and instruction to the family and
neighbors who crowded the hall
to capacity. The funeral proces
sion strung out for a mile on the
way to the Chambers cemetery,
where deceased was buried.
That day when O’Neill had its
greatest celebration, a 16-karet
demonstration over the driving of
the last spike in a railroad tie at
the end of Center precinct a half
mile west of town, nobody looked
down the corridor of half a cen
tury to the crepe hung on the door
of Donald McLean’s dream. The
blow has fallen. After an hectic
history, involving receivership,
transfer of ownership and much

Legion Auxiliary Want
Many More Pictures
The American Legion Auxil

grateful for the fine co-operation
of parents, relatives and friends
who have brought in pictures of
their loved ones in the service,
to be displayed in the window of
the Consumers Public Power
District office. We have a very
fine display and a goodly num
ber, but there are still many more
men from O’Neill and vicinity
who are in the Service and we
will be proud to see their pictures
in this fine group. Every possible
care to guard against loss or dam
age is given the pictures. Pic

LOY TO CHEYENNE
Donald Loy of O’Neill left
Kearney the first of this week for
the United Air Lines in Chey
enne, Wyo., where he will be em
ployed as a radio repairman.
Donald has been receiving his
training at the Kearney NYA
Resident Defense Project. He en
rolled in the radio shop on May
23, 1942. Boys at the Kearney
Project receive valuable training
in not only the radio course but
in welding and machine shop as
well. In order to prepare young
men between the ages of 17 and
25 to take their place in defense
industries, the National Youth
Administration has made ar
rangements for the boys to re
ceive their training, board and
room, and a small wage each
month for their personal expenses.
Additional information may be
obtained by writing to the NYA
Resident Project, Kearney, Nebr.
George, Sam and Dick Robert

spent last Friday in Plainview.
night with the old Short Line!
There was John Morgan juggling
the express and baggage, old man
Crowe with a cob pipe embellish
ing withered features, and Will
Woodruff handling the mails.
There was tragedy, too, connected
with the train’s early operation.
A brakeman, living in O’Neill,
was killed at South Sioux City
when he got a foot caught in the
‘‘frog” at a switch and stood
in transfixed horror as he saw a
locomotive back toward him
bringing certain doom. Bits of
human flesh were strewn along
the Short Line track a few miles
east of O’Neill when two young
men from Inman were on their
way in a buggy on a wild, windy
day to the county judge’s office
for a marriage license, were hit by
a train and hurled into eternity.
The abandonment of passenger
service does not effect O’Neill
seriously but means a lot to other
towns in the garden spot of Ne
braska.
Rev. J. Clement Ryan
Has Been Selected As
Instructor At Harvard
—
The Rev. J. Clement Ryan, S. I
J., Catholic army chaplain, has
been ordered to the new Chap
lain’s School at Harvard Univer
sity as an instructor, according
to an announcement of the War
Department.
The Chaplain’s School has been
transferred from Fort Benjamin j
Harrison, in Indiana, to Harvard.
A class of 145 clergymen were
graduated last week from Fort
Benjamin Harrison, representing
most denominations of the three
major faiths.
Father Ryan is a native of this
city, a son of J. B. Ryan, and has
been an army chaplain since last
May.
Steel Creek Calf Club
Wins Third Place In
State Salvage Contest
The Steel Creek 4-H Calf Club j
was revealed as third place prize!
winner in the scrap metal salvage ;
contest for 4-H clubs sponsored!
by the Ak-Sar-Ben. The group
will win $30 for its achievement
in the state contest.
Collecting 104,015 pounds of
scrap metal and rubber, the club
earned 44,192 points in the con
test and were outpointed only by
a club from each Dundy and Ne
maha counties. Their achieve
ment has been outstanding and is
the result of hard work and a
well organized drive by the club
leader, Ray Siders of Opportun
ity, and the assistant leader, Fora
Knight, and the other families.
Each member of the club re
ceived the proceeds from the
scrap collected by his own efforts
and much of this amount was
used for the purchase of war
bonds.
As a reward for the fine efforts
of the club, it received a trip to
Norfolk last Saturday to see the
Angus steer, Loyal Alumnus 4th,
which was the grand champion
at the International Livestock
Show in 1941. The steer is being
shown over this territory by the j
Firestone Company, which pur-;
chased it last fail.
Several other 4-H clubs in the
county which have reported scrap
collections, although they were:
unabe to qualify in the state con
test, their work has helped put
Holt county up in the final re
sults. Clubs doing good work
were the Emmet Elkhorn Valley
Club, the Sandhills Club and the
Roundup Club.
Squeeze Play Eliminates
Harry Coffee; Foster
May The Next Victim
New Deal democrats so anx
ious to beat Harry Coffee, they
vote for May. Next move is to
get Senator Norris into the race
and drop May like a hot potato,
says the Valentine Republican,
which stated further last week:
“Tuesday’s primaries saw the
start of an interesting political
play. New Dealers in the Demo
cratic party who hate Harry Cof
fee because he refused to be a
rubber stamp and yes-man in
Congress, used the candidacy of
Foster May, radio gabbler of Om
aha, to kill off Coffee’s candidacy.
Having done so and loaded the!
Democratic party with the least
qualified candidate for that high
office in a generation, they will
now proceed to dump May into
the ash can and trot out poor old
Senator Norris and give him
their support, as they did six
years ago after Terry Carpenter
was nominated. The only thing
which will spoil this play will be
the refusal of the Senator, now
81 or 82 years old and feeble, to
be the goat. Six years ago the
plan succeeded—this time it is
believed by the Republicans that
it will not. The split in the Dem
ocratic party in Nebraska is too
wide and deep, and the state is1
now Republican whereas six;
years ago it was still in the Dem- j
ocratic column.
‘‘Northwestern Nebraska stood
by Harry Coffee, including Cherry
county, but there were many
Democrats who voted for May,
even though it left a bad taste in
their mouths, just to beat Coffee.”
TO THE PUBLIC
On account of so many forger-1
ies and worthless checks being
given throughout this county by
drifters and draft evaders, I feel
it my duty to warn business men
and merchants not to cash checks
offered by strangers.

ARMY-NAVY MEET
HELD HERE SEPT 3
BY 15 OFFICERS
The Army and Navy are get
ting togetherl Tenth in a series
of eleven meeting throughout Ne
braska will be held in O’Neill on
Tuesday, Sept. 3, to select air ca
dets, it was learned this week
when Naval Lieut Wm. Edw.
Johnson, former lieutenant-gov
ernor of Nebraska, announced the
selection of Ira George as associ
ate selection officer in charge of
the meeting. He will be assisted
by H. L. Lindberg of O’Neill;
Roy Bartlett, Stuart; Kenneth
Hunt, Ainsworth; Leonard Hale,
Brunswick.
Coming to O’Neill for the meet
ing will be approximately fifteen
Army and Navy officers, doctors
and civilian assistants. At the
meeting, to be held in the O’Neill
auditorium at 8:30 p. m., the com
plete program will be explained
to aspirant cadets and their fam
ilies. Complete physical and men
tal examinations will be given at
the auditorium the following
morning. All interested in the air
corps are invited to attend the
meeting.
Nearly all young men between
the ages of 18 and 37 are eligible
for a place in the nation’s air
forces. Many who cannot qualify
as combat pilots in the Army or
Navy will be given a chance to
serve under the CPT program
whereby they are made a ferry
pilot, instructor or liaison pilot,
commonly known as “grasshop
per” pilots.
The Army and Navy, together
with CPT, are bringing their
complete examination board to
O’Neill in order to save those who
want to join the air forces from
making a long trip. They will
know immediately following their
examination whether or not they
qualify for t£ie service. Pay goes
up to $291 jper month.
“This is one 9t the finest oppor
tunities ever offered young men,"
said Lieutenant Johnson. “Not
only can they get the finest train
ing in the world, but a commis
sion in the armed forces, plus an
excellent salary. The training
they will receive will open new
vistas of opportunity after the
war is over.”
Official Canvas Of
The Primary Vote Has
Been Completed
County Clerk Gallagher assist
ed by P. J. O’Donnell and Elmer
Bowen completed the Official
qanvass of the vote cast in the
county at the primary election
on August 11. The canvass dis
closed that there were 938 re
publican votes cast to 1371 demo
cratic votes, or a majority of
433 for the democrats. The
lightness of the republican vote
is accounted for by the fact that
there was only one contest on the
entire republican county ticket
and many republicans in this city,
Grattan township and other pre
cincts in the county voted demo
cratic to assist the democratic
voters to select their candidates.
While we have never approved
members of one party going into
the primary of another party and
assisting in the nomination of
its party candidates, it is possible
under our present primary law.
The official canvess did not
make any change in the list of
officials nominated as announced
last week. Jack Arbuthnot won
the democratic nomination for
county treasurer with a majority
of eight votes over Tom McDon
ald of Atkinson. The official
canvass gave Arbuthnot 523
votes and McDonald 515.
Enough republicans wrote in
the name of Peter Duffy on their
ballot to give him the republican
nomination for sheriff as well as
the democratic, 54 republicans
writing in his name on the repub
can ballots.
R. E. Calvert of O’Neill receiv
ed the republican nomination for
supervisor from this district and
will contest for the office with
John Sullivan, who has held the
position for a number of years.
The Roundup Calf Club
The Roundup Calf Club has
held three meetings. The organ
izing meeting was held at Clarks,
the second meeting at Burge’s,
and the third one at Ernst’s,
where we had a weiner roast.
The club was organized with
seven members. Clarence Ernst
was elected as leader and Walter
Puckot as assistant leader. The
next meeting will be held at the
home of Albert Miller.
Club Championship Golf
Tournament Held Here

Pres. L. A. Burgess has an
nounced that the O’Neill Country

ship tournament this year, to be
run during September. Each

quested to turn in a qualifying
score for 18 holes at the Golden
Hotel. Qualifying scores must

INSTRUCTION IN
HOME NURSING TO
START HERE SOON
Instruction in home nursing as
a war measure is being expanded
by the Holt County Chapter of
the Red Cross and classes are
soon to be established in O’Neill.
National defense in time of war
calls for civilians trained to fight
disease and sickness on the home
front, and the Red Cross consid
ers the home nursing course one
of its most important services in
the national defense program.
Because a large number of our
doctors and nurses are being call
ed into the armed forces, the
homemaker needs to know how
to be more resourceful in caring
for her family and how to pre
vent illnesses as well. The
home nursing course is designed
to help meet these needs, teach
ing such subjects as personal
health, community health, home
care of the sick and various sick
room procedures, care of the aged
and chronic, care of babies and
children, and measures for the
prevention and control of com
municable diseases. Twenty-four
hours of classroom instruction are
required and classes are open to
all women of the community.
Mrs. J. P. Brown is local chair
man and will be glad to take your
enrollment for the coming clas
ses. Don’t delay, it’s better to be
prepared today than sorry tomor
row. Watch for date of the be
ginning of the Home Nursing
Classes.
Livestock Prices Here
Advance Further, And
Receipts Are Heavier
Price trends on all classes of
livestock advanced to higher lev
els at the auction here last Mon
day. Receipts were considerably
heavier than in recent weeks and
the outlet was broad on all kinds.
Already eastern buyers are ready
to stock their feed lots with Ne
braska Sandhill cattle and their
competitive bidding here Monday
resulted in a very brisk market,
with plenty of action. Generally
speaking, the quality of the of
fering was improved, which was
a factor in boosting prices. Heav
ier weights, were especially pop
ular.
Calf supplies continued limited
and the quality of those offered
here was only medium to good.
The best price on steer calves was
$13.25; on heifers the extreme top
was $12.20.
Yearlings were in fairly heavy
supply and several carload lots
were sold. One load scaling 660
lbs. cashed at $12.50; other smal
ler bunches reached from $12.75
to $13. Heifers in this class paid
as much as $12.25 on load lots,
with the bulk of supplies ranging
from $11 to $12, with most of
them selling in the ujpper brack
ets.
Two-year-old steers averaging
750 lbs. brought $12.30 in load
lots. Bulk sold from $11.50 to
| $12.25. Heifers paid from $10.50
to $11.50 on the long end of sup
j plies.
In the cow division, supplies
were heavy. Good beef cows paid
! $10.25 with a few choice heifer
i ettes reaching an extreme top of
j $10.85. Cows of medium grade
j cashed from $8.50 to $9.85. Bulls
scaling 650 lbs. reached $10.35.
Hogs numbered about 250 head.
■ Prices advanced sharply over
; those paid here a week ago. Ex
treme top on well finished 290 lb.
butchers was $14.50; bulk sold
from $14.35 to $14.45. Sows top
ped at $14; the long end ranged
from $13.70 to $13.95. Pigs weigh
ing around 80 lbs. paid $16.70.
About 50 sheep and a few hor
ses and mules finished the offer
ing. Next auction will be held on
Monday, August 24.
Legion Auxiliary Will
Not Hold Their Regular
Meeting Next Wreek
There will be no regular meet
