Only A Few’ Days Left The Holt County War Bond drive has lagged a little and the amount raised so far is not near the county quota. The drive started late in this county, which accounts for the fact that the county is second to the bottom in the list of counties published to date. Committees are working in all parts of the county and i# is thought that the goal will be reached before the end of the campaign, but everyone must put their shoulder to the wheel and buy, BUY, BUY. DATE FOR SCRAP DRIVE HAS BEEN CHANGED Nebraska’s third scrap drive— May 10th to 22nd—has been an nounced by Governor Griswold. Dates had previously been an nounced as May 2nd to 15th, but d challenge from Governor Schoeppel of Kansas to hold a scrap contest similar to last Oc tober caused Governor Griswold and State Chairman Seacrest to announce the change.

Maude Mellor of Stuart, who was the winner of the Burlington leadership trip to club week, was awarded the trip to 4-H conser vation camp in Seward during the first week of August. It is unfortunate that the 4-H folks who had earned these awards are unable to attend the 4-H club week, but the winners are being encouraged to attend the statewide 4-H conservation camp in its place. Frank Hubei, who has been a resident of the southern part of the county for the past forty years, was an O’Neill visitor last Tuesday and made this office a pleasant call, ordering The Fron tier sent to his address for the coming year, so that he could keep posted on events in this great big county of ours.

BREEZES FROM THE SOUTHWEST By Romaine Saunders Atkinson, Nebr.. Star Route No. 5. Mrs. Ted Fredrich, accompan ied by her mother-in-law, have been in Omaha several days, call ed there to be at the hospital when Mr. Fredrich went under I the knife in a serious operation. Early reports were favorable. — Thirty airplanes in a string roared over our neighborhood a day last week, high in the heav ens and winging westward. If en emy planes the prairie land would have been at their mercy — or maybe it should be said their hatred. Tom Baker and Bob Fredrich had an Easter morning race over hills and meadows for a baby calf, as wild as a coyote, that had got lost from the cow. They won the race, succeeding in uniting the young Shorthorn aristocrat' with the cow. Whether imbibing the spirit of the times or swinging into action through hereditary enmity, two magnificent prairie birds, the matchless prairie rooster and the arrogant pheasant cock, were having a battle royal 20 yards away as we traveled along the road toward Amelia Monday. The native chicken resents the intrus ion of imported birds upon his grassy domain and is ever ready to challenge the gorgeous but truculent pheasant. Arliss Bly reined her pony, wet with sweat and heavy sides, to the fence where I stood and stop ped for a morning greeting on her way to school. “Been having a race?” I asked. “Yes. A mile back a gray wolf trotted out of the tall grass and the pony and I gave him a mile chase.” The entire school to which Arliss be longs get there on the backs of racing ponies and if they learn nothing else every last one of them is an excellent equestrain. On my infrequent visits to O’Neill it is noted that the Old Timer has quite largely disap peared from the picture. Infusion of new blood is going on in all communities, but some of us are rooted deep in the Holt county i prairies. One such is Mrs. M. A.1 Summers, who I met on the street a day last week. It is not cour-1 teous of a gentleman to ask the age of a lady, but I believe this pioneer of eastern Holt county is still this side of 100. She was carrying one good arm in a sling i because it had been broken but | still radiated cheerfulness and j the bright outlook that have been characteristics of a long life. A anonymous friend of the| Breezes suggests this column should give the federal govern ment setup at O’Neill a ribbing for disregarding Arbor Day and Good Friday by running full blast. The one is a local and the other a church institution and if any guilt attaches to the disre gard of either citizens who kept those official forces busy the two occasions are equally involved with the officials. Weather con ditions have not encouraged tree planting this spring. And I fear the Christianity of too many of us amounts to nothing more than an outward show. But if the em phasis given this year to the week preceding Easter reflects a state of every-day piety we of Yankee land are not far from the king dom. A citizen of Swan who has reached the years when nature’s teeth have been replaced by the artificial and who has spent all of his life hereabout had never heard of Barret Scott. Perhaps it Christensen-Pinkerman Miss Dorothy Christensen, eld est daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Vigo Christensen, of Monowi, and Guy Pinkerman. youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Pinkerman, of Dorsey, were united in marriage by County Judge Louis W. Reim er at O'Neill, Nebraska, on Satur day, April 24, 1943, at 1:55 p. m. They were attended by Betty Christensen of Monowi, a cousin of the bride, and Dale Rossmeier of Lynch. Mrs. Pinkerman gradu a t e d from the Lynch high school with the class of 1937 and since that time she has taught six terms of school in Boyd and Knox coun ties. At the present time she is completing her second term in the lower grade room at Monowi. Mr. Pinkerman attended school in Holt county and is farming with his father at Dorsey. The newlyweds plan to make their home in the Dorsey commu nity at the close of tne school term. The Frontier joins other friends in extending congratula tions and best wishes for a long, happy and prosperous wedded life. Food Preservation Week Will Start On May 17 Holt county homemakers will participate in the statewide “Food Preservation Week’’ May 17-22, and will have an opportunity to catch up on the newest methods of conserving all of their home grown vegetables and fruits as a war measure. Volunteer leaders will be train ed by Miss Della Lewis, home demonstration agent, to conduct public demonstrations. These women will hold meetings in their home communities and pass on the latest food preservation methods to their neighbors and friends. Leaders will be trained in each town in the county. All the leaders have not been select ed at the present time but any group or organization is invited to send a representative to the training meetings, if they are in terested. “Can all you can” might well be the slogan of the week, which is designed to help home makers get the maximum amount of food processed through drying, brining, canning, and freezing. A MARK TO SHOOT AT Mrs. Art O’Neill, Mrs. Floyd Johnson and Mrs. Sam Robert son, who are chairmen of the sal vage drives in Coleman, Paddock and Rock Falls, sponsored a card party at the Meek store on April 16. Admission was one pound of waste fat or silk and nylon hose. There were 81 pounds of fat and 200 pair of hose collected. Be sides having eighteen tables, there were quite a number who came just to visit and spend a social evening. Mrs. Guy Cole, county chairman, gave a very nice talk, and thanks was expressed for the co-operation.__ is just as well that it be forgot ten, that dark chapter of Holt county history which culminated on a bleak December day a half century ago in the hanging of the poor one-eyed and crippled but open-handed and warm-hearted treasurer of the county, a victim alike of friends and foes. But along the mystic streams and wooded slopes of the north eve ning shadows seem still to be haunted by the memory of the six-shooter and hangman’s noose, though at once sensing that the period and the generation of those desperate measures are but a memory. And what did the trag edies and the stealings do but stain the souls of men and add nothing of permanent value to community life. The Scott trag edy did not restore the lost coun ty funds but brought us country wide notice as a community of outlaws. It has taken a half cen tury to overcome the blood-stain ed record and it is notable that there are those among us who do not know of such a record. Released by U. 8.
