SON OF FORMER
OFFICER IN RANKS
AT FORT KNOX
Among the thousands of se
lectees now entering the armed
forces. Pvt. Neil F. Brennan, son
of Mi's. Mary Brennan of O'Neill,
has entered the Armored Force
Replacement Training Center at
Fort Knox, Ky.. for basic train
ing in the newest and hardest
hitting branch of the Army.
The men will be put on a 12
week training program which has
been systematically laid out into
six-week periods. The first six
week period will be devoted to
the organiation of the Army and
Armored Force, insignia of rank,
military courtesy and discipline,
care of clothing and equipment,
and many other fundamentals
which will enable them to be
come good soldiers. During this
period the men will be classified
according to their knowledge and
ability, so that they can start their;
second six-week period in special- j
ied training. These special courses
include: light tank, medium tank, i
scouting and patrolling, mortar, j
anti-tank, machine gun, assault
gun, and reconnaissance.
The training center has expand
ed rapidly, and now boasts eight
een training batallions under the
direct supervision of Maj. Charles
L. Scott. From this training cen
ter are formed the many arm-;
ored divisions which make up
this fastest-moving land force of
the Army.
HIGHLIGHTS OF
WEEK IN PRICE
AND RATIONING
The secret is out. The purpose
of those little red coupons in War
Book 2 was announced this week.
They will come in handy after
Sunday, March 28, when the Of
fice of Price Administration’s
meat sharing plan goes into ef
fect, At that time and in the same
program not only meats, but also
edible fats and oils, including but
ter, certain cheeses and canned
fish, will be made available equal
ly to all citizens. Of course, our
armed forces will have their share
first, and certainly no one will ob
ject to that. It is expected that
there will be sufficient left for
us at home.
When point rationing went into
effect there was a noticeable in
crease in the demand for fresh
vegetables. This was, of course,
expected because fresh vegetables
were not at that time and still are
not rationed. However, the de
mand tended to push the prices
up. This was particularly true in
the case of tomatoes, green and
wax snap beans, carrots, cabbage,
peas, lettuce and spinach. To pre
vent further increases, the Office
of Price Administration estab
lished a ceiling on most fresh
vegetables, including all of the
above-mentioned.
Another instance in the Office
of Price Administration’s determ
ination to control the production
of meat was evidenced this week
when another non-quota slaugh
terer in Lincoln was restrained
from further slaughtering because
of violation of OPA regulations.
This was the thirteenth restrain
ing order granted in Nebraska by
the Federal District Court in a
drive to guarantee our boys that
they will have steak even if those
of us at home have to do with
less.
With meat sharing, as with all
other rationing programs, it is
well to remember this simple
formula: Always be sure to take
your appropriate War Ration
Book with you when you shop.
Do not offer detached coupons for
the purchase of any rationed item.
Merchants cannot accept such
coupons, because they are not
valid when detached.
U. S. Employment
Officers Here April 2
A representative of the Norfolk
office of the U. S. Employment
Service will be in this city next

Two More O’Neill Boys
Enter Naval Training
At Farragut, Idaho
Future Bluejackets from O'Neill
arrived late last week at the U.
S. Naval Training Station at Far
ragut, Idaho, for training prelim
inary to becoming a member of
Uncle Sam's fighting fleet.
While at the station these men
will be drilled in seamanship,
military discipline, and the many
forms of naval procedure. In
addition, they will undergo a
thorough physical fitness pro
gram. Actual seamanship experi
ence will be taught these Blue
jackets in training vessels on
Lake Pend Oreille, one of the lar
gest fresh water lakes in the Pa
cific northwest.
At the conclusion of this train
ing schedule these men will either
be given the opportunity to en
roll in one of the Navy’s many
service schools, transferred to
other shore stations, or sent di
rectly to the fleet.
The O'Neill men, who recently
began this training, are: Benny
Raymond Wetzler, son of Mrs.
Wetzler, and Clarence Edwin
France, Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs.
C. E. France.

Aceanith Ruth Wilson
Aceanith ttuth Wilson was born
in Iowa county. Iowa, on July P,
1(157, and departed this life at the
General Hospital at Gordon, Neb.,
on March 10, 1943, at the age of
85 years, eight months and one
day. She was the oldest of five
I children. Her mother was left a
widow when she was but eight
years old, therefore early respon
sibilities fell upon her.
In the year 1877 she was united
in marriage to Charles Ladcly and
to this union five children were
i born. One daughter, Blanche, died
at the age of three years.
After living in Iowa for nearly
21 years they moved to northeast
ern Holt county. Twenty-nine
years ago this spring she moved
with her two younger sons to
western Cherry county, where
she had since resided. When a
small child she was baptized and
later was affiliated with the
Methodist church at Deep River,
Iowa. After moving to Nebraska
she united with the Presbyterian
church at Dorsey, Nebr. All
through the years she put her
trust in her Savior.
She is survived by three sons:
William, Henry, and Albert, of
Gordon, Nebr., and one daughter,
Mrs. John Carson, of Redbird,
Nebr., nine grandchildren and
nine great grandchildren; one sis
ter, Mrs. Alfaretta Hall, of Oak
land, Calif., besides other rel
atives and a host of friends.
Funeral services were held on
March 15 at the Methodist church
in Gordon, Nebr., with the Rev.
R. Johnston officiating. Burial
was in the Gordon cemetery.
A quartette consisting of Mr.
and Mrs. Gordon Hull, Mrs. Wese
ly and Wayland Case, accompan
ied by Mrs. Johnston, sang “Rock
of Ages," “God Will Take Care of
You,” and “When Jesus Comes.”
Pallbearers were Wren Green,
Charlie Gwynn, Archie Kime, Lee!
McDonnell, Lloyd Hull and Ralph
Otis.
The beautiful floral offerings
attested more eloquently than
words the esteem in which the
deceased was held. Those from a
distance to attend the funeral
were: Mr. and Mrs. John Carson,
Ray Wilson and Roy Pinkerman
of Redbird; Mrs. Kate Wilson of
Lynch; Pvt. Oral Ladely of Chi
cago; Earn Wilson of Burke, S.
D.; Mr. and Mrs. Lurtie Jay of
Whitman; Mrs. Myrtle Young of
Inman; Duane Carson of Chamb
ers; Mrs. Ralph Pinkerman of
Dorsey; Mrs. Lizzie Ladely and
Will Kime of Mullen, Nebr.; Mrs.
Roy Smith of Dodge, Nebr.
Grandma Ladely, as she was
known to old and young alike,
has departed from our midst. She
was dearly loved by all who knew
her and her place can never be
filled. If we, one and all, could
live the useful life she lived, our
heartaches would be fewer. She
went far and near to be with any
one who was in need—in sickness
or in death—no task too hard.
Our community has truly lost a
real neighbor and friend.
“Sleep on, dear friend, your goal
you’ve reached,
And may your sleep be sweet,
'Till God shall call his children
home,
To make His heaven complete;
No longer need anxieties trouble
you.
No pain, no sickness to be borne.
With sorrows you are through;
For God shall wipe away your
tears
And take you by the hand,
Reveal anew his wondrous love,
And you will understand.

To Thee is also dear.

When death is drawing through

Teach me the way that I should

MILITARY FUNERAL
HELD MONDAY FOR
SERG. MAX WOLFE
The body of Sergeant Maxwell
Wolfe arrived in the city last Sun-'
day morning, accompanied by;
Technical Sergeant Parrish, of his
camp, from Clovis, New Mexico.!
The body was taken to the
home of his parents east of this
city Sunday afternoon and the fu-!
neral was held Monday afternoon
at 2 o’clock in the auditorium of
the public school, Rev. Dawson
Park of the Methodist church of
ficiating, and burial in Prospect
Hill cemetery.
The funeral was one of the larg
est ever seen in O’Neill. All of
the business houses of the city
were closed during the funeral,
and the American flag, emblem of
liberty, was displayed in front of
all the business places of the city, j
Technical Sergeant Parrish, who
is stationed at the same field that
Sergeant Wolfe was, was the mil
itary guard of honor sent with
the body. At the funeral he* head
ed the pallbearers, who were all
Holt county boys who are in the
service and were home on fur
lough. The members of the Amer
ican Legion were out in force for
the services, about 150 of them,
the largest number ever to attend
a funeral in this city, were pres
ent to pay tribute to the memory
of the first enlisted young man
from this city, who gave his life
for his country. At the cemetery
the firing squad fired the last sa
lute over the grave of their de
parted comrade.
Sergeant Wolfe was a native of
this city and graduated in 1938
from the O’Neill High School.
While in school he always took |
an active part in the school sports
and was one of the school’s most
popular students. He was in the
army about nine months and that
he made good there is evidenced
by the fact that in that time he
advanced to the position of Ser
geant.
Sergeant Wolfe is survived by
his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Elmer
Wolfe, and one brother. Gene,
►and several nephews and nieces,
all of whom have the sympathy
of the people of this community
in their hour of sorrow.

HOUSEWIVES ARE
URGED TO START
SAVING ALL FATS
Thp Conservation Division of
the WPB has set up the Fats Sal
vage Program giving each family
a goal of l>etween one and two
pounds of waste cooking fats per
month, which would yield well
over half a million pounds per
year. It is estimated that two bil
lions of pounds of kitchen fats
are now wasted each year.
The reasons behind this effort
are as follows: War in the Pacific
has reduced imports of fats and
oils from the Far East, and sub
stitution must be effected to re
place this loss in normal supply.
Moreover, the war effort has
greatly increased our need for
glycerine and explosives and
other war needs, both for our own
forces and our Allies. And fats
make glycerine. For both these
reasons, it is very necessary to
salvage every possible pound of
waste kitchen fats.
Holt county’s quota in thi*
campaign is 4,138 pounds per
month. During the month of Feb
ruary only a little more than 150#
pounds of waste fats were col
lected by the dealers. Here arc
the figures:
Atkinson -1000 pounds.
Stuart _ 450 pounds.
O’Neill, about 50 or 75 pound*,
the dealer had no accurate record,
but will now keep one. Ewing
reported no fats collected, while
Chambers had collected some, but
they kept no records and could
give the chairman out in that
community no estimate.
It has been estimated that the
average household can easily sal
vage about one tablespoon of fat
a day, and 31 tablespoonfuls
equal one pound. Every one of us
must save every spoonful to make
up our quota.
The fats that are to be saved
are pan drippings from roast ham,
beef, lamb and poultry, broiler
drippings from steaks, chops, veal
and bacon, deep fats, whether lard
or vegetable shortening. Pour the
waste fats into a wide-mouthed
can, such as a coffee or vegetable
shortening can. Be sure that the
can is spotlessly clean. And strain
fats as they are poured in, so that
meat and other foreign particles
are removed. Keep in the refrigT
erator or a cool place until at least
one pound is collected, then take
it to your dealer who is co-oper
ating patriotically in this drive.
He will weigh it, pay the estab
lished price, and start it on its
way to the war industries.
In Atkinson the Chase Market
will buy waste fats; in Stuart,
take it to Art Runnels, and in
O’Neill to the Ideal Market. If
there are any questions you would
like to ask, please contact local
chairman of Woman’s Salvage.
