. Neb. State Historical Society , The Frontier VOL. LXIII " O’NEILL, NEBRASKA, THURSDAY, APRIL 1, 1943 47 A SUMMARY OF HOLT COUNTY RURAL SCHOOLS WAR EFFORT “We are extremely proud of the record of our rural schools in this summary of the various activities which are either directly or in directly war activities,” says Elja McCullough, Holt county super intendent of schools. “Last fall the scrap collection from our rural schools totaled 374,864 pounds. This makes an average of about 104 pounds of scrap per pupil for the 103 rural schools in the county taking part. Considering the difficulties of transportation and distances in volved, this is a very fine record. “Dist. No. 27, LaVern Borg, teacher, had the greatest total credit of 21,346 lbs; Dist, No. 146, Delbert Christiansen, teacher, col lected 15,200 lbs; Dist. No. 91, Ei leen Leisge teacher, collected 12, 250 lbs. Schools with the highest average collection per pupil were: Dist. No. 17, Vivian Clouse teach er, with 2,103 lbs. average; Dist. No. 115, Marcella Tomjack, with an average of 1,472 lbs. held sec ond place and Dist. No. 57, Anna Mae Nichols, held third place with an average of 1,375 lbs. per pupil. “Eighteen rural schools earned the Ak-Sar-Ben flag as a special award for collecting 500 lbs. or more per pupil. Some schools do nated their scrap earnings to the Red Cross; others used the money for school purposes. “The Tuberculosis Seal bale this year was the largest it ever has been in Holt county. Rural schools sold seals for this cause, collecting $546.12. Half of this amount goes to the state and half of it stays in Holt county. It is to be used in taking care of tu berculosis skin tests, x-rays, and in preventative measures against this disease. Rural families that have needed help in this connec tion have been given aid through the direction of a qualified nurse from Kearney. As an educational feature each year a five dollar prize is offered to seventh and eighth grade pupils for writing an essay on the prevention of Tu berculosis. “This year, too, Mrs. Ruth Rec tor, county chairman of the drive against infantile paralysis, sent out small envelopes to the child ren in school in which they could place a penny for each year of their age, and return them. The rural response netted $230.01, which gratified the sponsors very much,” states Miss McCullough. “Forty-one rural schools are members of the Junior Red Cross. A school may become a member school by sending fifty cents to me as Junior Red Cross chairman. This entitles them to a subscrip tion to a Red Cross magazine, membership tags for each child in school, a wall poster, and cal endar. Some schools are making lap boards, checkerboards, jigsaw puzzles, Chinese checkers, utility bags and other articles to be sent to the armed forces and to hos pitals. This comes under the head ing of Junior Red Cross Produc tion for the armed forces. Teach ers whose schools are members of the Junior Red Cross are: Vel ma Hazelhorst, Mildred Stuart, Armella Pongratz, Clara Fuhrer, Jane Jensen, LaVern Borg, Viv ian Derickson, Donna Shellhase, Elizabeth Hilger, Helen Hen dricks, Rose Snyder, Elsie Peter, Josephine Mlinar, Betty Cam eron, Theresa Parks, Vaulde Wel ke, Ava Jones, Lena Conner, Mary Bruder, Ella Kazda, Eileen Leisge, Marjorie Summerer, Max ine Derickson, Hilda Harley, Mar cella Tomjack, Mable Bollwitt, Elaine Martfeld, Geraldine Gal braith, Helen Mullen, Anna Barnes, Helen Johnson, Darlene Dalton, Evelyn Naber, Marilyn Marriage Licenses Lyle Wayne King and Georg etta Shaffer, both of Stuart, on March 10. NOTICE The annual meeting of the stockholders of the O’Neill Coun try Club will be held at the court house in O’Neill, Nebr., on Mon day evening, April 5, at 8 p. m. The purpose of the meeting is for the election of a Board of Direc tors and the transaction of such other business as may properly come before the meeting. L. A. Burgess, President. Teachers' Examination The state teachers’ examina tions will be held Saturday, April 10th at Stuart, Atkinson, Ewing and O’Neill. The time schedule for subjects will be the same as was used in January. Thompson, Matilda Peters, Helen McClurg, Mary Ann Winkler. “Emmet. Amelia, St. Boniface, St. Joseph’s Hall, St. Mary’s Academy, Inman, Page, Chamb ers, Ewing, Stuart, O’Neill, At kinson—each school has a 100% membership for both grades and high school groups. Knitting, vic tory book campaigns, first aid classes, correspondence albums and production for armed forces are some of the features of these groups. “Miss Alice French, who has charge of the Junior Red Cross at Page, has brought in a fine collection of scrapbooks and jig saw puzzles to be sent to army hospitals. Convalescent soldiers need these simple recreation art icles that young people are glad to make. All directors of rural schools in Holt county were asked by P. L. Beha, county chairman of war fund, to act as collectors in their districts for the Red Cross Fund Raising Campaign. Directors were to send such collections to the of fice of the county superintendent. To date (March 23) funds have been sent in by workers as fol lows: “Dist. No. 57, Hugh Holliday, $5.00; Dist. No. 196, Wm. Hubei, $18.00; Dist. No. 192, Mrs. G. Rzesztorski, $5.00; Dist. No. 115, Seymour Harkins, $10.00; Dist. No. 60, John P. Berger, $33.00; Dist. No. 152, D. C. Schaffer, $21.50; Dist. No. 26, Melva Gra ham, $70.00; Dist. No. 41, Mrs. Alice Gallagher, $51.50; Dist. No. 127, donation from Kenneth Van Every, $20.00; Dist. No. 131, Vearl Tuttle, $34.50; Dist. No. 251, Fred Carey, $8.00; Dist. No. 84, Ava Jones, $14.00; Dist. No. 12, Carroll O’Neill, $8.00; Dist. 18%, Charles McDonald, $34.50; Dist. No. 227, Fred Bollwitt, $43.00; Dist. No. 4, H. H. Miles, $16.11, making a to tal of $392.11. “Helping with the rationing program was another assistance given by the schools. Federal, state and county rationing per sonnels are very grateful for their work. School officers and teach ers were very co-operative and did much to make the rationing program possible. And with the buying of war stamps and bonds that organized districts are buy ing and groups of school children and teachers are buying, we feel that Holt county schools are earn estly and effectively carrying out the ideals of the “V” Star. The "V1’ Star symbolizes these ideals in the points of the star: They are: Learn, Share, Serve, Con serve, and Serve,” states Miss McCullough. Glenn A. Anderson Died In Omaha Last Saturday The funeral of Glenn A. Ander son, of Sheridan, Wyo., was held from St. Patrick’s church in this city Tuesday morning, March 30, 1943, Monsignor J. G. McNamara officiating, and burial in Calvary cemetery. Glenn A. Anderson was born at Dorsey, Nebr., on April 26, 1893, the son of Mr. and Mrs. J. B. An derson, pioneer residents of the northeastern part of the county. He grew to manhood in this coun ty and on June 25, 1915, he was united in marriage to Miss Mary Wrede, the daughter of another pioneer family of the county. Seven children were born of this union, four sons and three daugh ters, all of whom, with their mother, are left to mourn the passing of a kind an affectionate husband and father. The children are: Clinton John, U. S. A., Se attle, Wash.; Charles Glenn, U. S. Army, Camp Schaffer, Ark.; Mrs. Maxine Lucht, Gordon, Nebr.; Helen Marie, Joseph Ben nett, Betty June and Glenn Eu gene, Sheridan, Wyo. He is also survived by two brothers and one sister, William of Orchard, Nebr., and Dell, of Sheridan, Wyo. Glenn was a resident of Holt county until the spring of 1931, when the family moved to Ains worth, Nebr., and resided in Brown county until about ten months ago when they moved to Sheridan, Wyo. He was taken ill there last October and five weeks before his death he went to Oma ha for medical treatment and died in a hospital there last Saturday of pulmonary hemorrhage. The body was shipped to this city and the funeral services were held on Tuesday morning. Glenn had a host of friends in this county, as he had a very large acquaintance, and his sud den passing in the very prime of life is a severe shock to his rel atives and many friends and old neighbors in the county, and the family have the sincere sympathy of their many old-time friends and neighbors in their hour of sorrow. John Gaughenbaugh returned Wednesday morning from Excel sior Springs, Mo., where he has been enjoying the weather in that southern resort for the past five months. John is looking fine and says that he had a nice winter, but that he was glad to get back to old Holt, where he has spent most of his life. His brother, Clark, is still down there and will remain there until the weather gets a little warmer up in this section. John says that they have a very backward spring down there this year, and that he seen more farming being done near Omaha than in Missouri.

Not rationed but off the market for the duration—bargains. Just what is there about war times that makes a 5-cent head of cabbage sell for 25 cents? Without the inspiration of the flip of the cards, the whine of the violins or the gaeity of feasting, Holt county citizens have tossed in magnificently for the continu ance of Red Cross ministry. Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., is a “chip off the' old block.” With the rank of brigadier general he is serving the allied cause, as are also his three sons and a son-in law, while Mrs. Roosevelt serves with the Red Cross in London. Nebraskans from 21 to 66—with some exceptions— will have a head tax of $3 to pay this year, the $2 tax and age limit of 50 be ing thus changed. It is also known as an assistance tax and goes into the pension fund. If of ficial plans materialize into hard cash, we are going to have bigger and better pensions. Meadowlarks, blackbirds, other daring creatures on the wing have arrived from the winter resorts to look us over and hunt out nesting places if their birdseye survey seems to assure them the period of blizzards has again past. Indi cations are such at the present writing and I am hearing from the lady of the house what I bet ter be doing toward getting the land in readiness for a grand V i garden. Criticism of so-called red tape and bureaucratic high-handed ness has developed to something of an avalanche^ 1 have not been face to face with any of the mul titude of departments in Washing ton, but the personnel of two or three federal agencies, among the many that grace our state, with which I have had to do have been uniformly courteous, helpful and considerate—gentlemen and lad ies of good Yankee horse sense. By the death of Judge Ben B. Lindsey in Los Angeles recently, children lost a friend. In the years he presided over the Denver ju venile court that tribunal became famous. Children in his realm learned not to fear the awesome trappings of a court room and stern judicial procedure. His court became a place to guide and help children rather than to condemn and punish and cast a wholesome gleam for juvenile court through out the country. Some say the airplane is to win the war; others, the tanks; no, the navy is the thing. You’re wrong —it’s the intelligent patriotism of the boys with the rifles. Maybe all these combined. But here is another factor—the plow. Dr. H. H. Bennett, U. S. Soil Conserva tion Service, says: “The side that has the most good cropland and uses it wisely will certainly have considerable edge on; the enemy.” And adds: “One of the biggest chunks of the United Nation’s cropland assets is right here in the United States—the Corn Belt —an area which stretches from central Ohio west to central Ne braska, and from southern Min nesota south to southern Missouri, the largest piece of farm land in the world with a good agricul tural climate.” Those Percherons with wide hips and heavy shoulders are use ful at the end of a three-ton load, but nothing in horse flesh can match the nimble-limbed native bronc. And now the ranchers of Nebraska, Wyoming and Colorado are being hunted over for these sturdy little steeds to supply an insatiable demand for flesh food. It is taking an unfair advantage of as spirited a little horse as ever tossed a rider to drag him as an ox to the shambles. There is not the equal in all the prairie land of the little brown bronc as a cnw horse or any job to be done under the saddle, and left to roam in unrestrained freedom there is something magnificent in his wild independence that has no fellow ship with the pig or other stolid animals of slaughter. Whether or not to bloom to full fruition out of the vast wreckage of war this paragraph Red Gross Auction And Band Concert Saturday The Red Cross Organization, which includes officials and all workers, both in the towns and /arming sections of the county, have been working hard on the War Fund drive the past two weeks and are determined that Holt county will go over its quota. Reports from workers in O'Neill and this section are very encour aging, and this city and section will go over its quota before the week is ended. However, the so licitors believe that liberal dona tions in clothing, furniture, pro duce, livestock, or what have you, will be necessary to obtain the goal we are striving for. People are calling at the local headquarters, east of the Golden Hotel, every day with their do nations. Have you looked over your list and given your share? If not, let's do this at once, so that we can say that the citizens of O’Neill are proud of their boys in uniform and show their pride in a substantial manner. It is up to every one of us to back, up the boys and make the auction next Saturday afternoon one of the most successful ever held in this city or section of the state. O’Neill High School band will play at one o’clock, and the Red Cross auction will start immedi ately afterward. Forty-Eight Seniors Will Graduate From O. H. S. Firty-eight seniors are eligible for graduation from the O’Neill Public High School on May 19. This includes 29 girls and 19 boys. This group of students is com pleting training in all the various courses offered as follows: College Prep WILLIAM BRUEGMAN WARREN BURGESS HAROLD CALKINS OWEN COLE ARTHUR ELLIS DEWAYNE LANDIS MEREDITH McKENNA ROBERT NOVRATIL JOHN OSENBAUGH HELEN RECTOR MAXINE RESSEL General LORIS CRIPPEN MARION DELONG JOHN HAMILTON EDWARD MURPHY ROBERT SELAH VIRGINIA WEBER DARLENE WREDE Secretarial DORIS ALM NORMA BURGE DOROTHY ANN DAVIDSON HAZEL GIFFORD DELLA HAGENSICK JUNIA MAE KELLER DOROTHY LOWERY ALTA JUNE PRUSS EVA SALMONS Normal Training DEMARIS BENSON BETTY BRADY NORMA JEAN DERICKSON ELAINE HALL MARCELLA JOHNSON LEONE KORAB HYLDRED McKIM LAVONNA MOLER AUDREY REIMER CAROL SCHOLLMEYER BETTY TOMLINSON MARVELLA VANBUREN Vocational Agriculture LESSTER BOSHART FRANK BURIVAL JOHN ETHERTON FLOYD HERSHISER ROBERT THOMAS GENE WOLFE Commercial MABEL HAMILTON FRANCIS YANTZI This graduating class has se lected for its motto “We Have Crossed the Bay, The Ocean Lies Before Us.” Their* class flower is the American Beauty Rose, and their class colors are Blue and Gold. by a writer in the Saturday Eve ning Post is impressive: “A man’s dealings with his God should be a sacred thing, inviol able by any potentate. No ruler has yet existed who was wise enough to instruct a saint; and a good man who is not great is a hundred times more precious than a great man who is not good. . . . When we yield our sons to war, it is in the trust that their sacrifce will bring to us and our allies no inch of alien soil, no selfish monopoly of the world’s resources or trade, but only the privilege of winning for all peo ples the most precious gifts in the orbit of life— freedom of body and soul, of movement and enter prise, of thought and utterance, of faith and worship, of hope and charity, of a humane fellowship with all men.” ASSESSORS OF HOLT COUNTY MET HERE LAST SATURDAY The annual meeting of precinct assessors of Holt county for the year 1943, held at the court house last Saturday, was called to or der by County Assessor Gillespie, who acted as chairman of the meeting.
