There Is Urgent
Need For Salvage
Waste Paper. Save all waste
paper for the next regular collect- j
ion by the schools. Waste paper
is the number one critical salvage
material at this time, don’t waste
it, save it.
Tin Cans. Take prepared tin
cans to your grocery store. Every
grocery in Holt county has a box
ready for your tin cans, don’t
throw them away. And take all
used collapsible tin tubes to your ;
druggist or turn to your salvage
committee. These tubes are still
urgently needed for their tin
content is very high. More than;
7,300,000 pounds of used tubes
have already been turned in to
the Tin Salvage Institute but we i
want them all. Every home in J
Holt county should have an extra
tube or so that they have been
saving for future trade-in.
Waste Fats. Holt county’s
waste fat collection for February
was 1540 pounds, a collection very
close to our quota of 1972 pounds.
If we all save waste fats and
turn them in this goal can easily
be reached.
For salvage information call

Soldier, Nephew of
O’Neill Woman Visits
The Holy Land
Cpl. Edward McHugh, well known
Butte, Mont., soldier now serving
in the middle east, recently toured
the Holy Land seeing all the his
toric sights made famous by the
birth of Christianity and the
cost was only $14.00. He describ
ed his tour in a letter received by
his mother, Mrs. Nell McHugh, '
326 E. Summit Street, Butte,
Mont., and his wife Mrs. Pearl
McHugh 63 West Platinum, Butte,
Mont.
The letter was sent to O’Neill |
to his aunt, Mrs. Thomas J. Dono- I
hoe. His letter described all the
details of the fascinating trip,
which took eight days. “I would
much rather spent them at home.
But I spent them in the next best
place,” he wrote.
During his tour he related he
visited Jeresalem and Bethlehem.
Saw the manger where Christ
was born, and the oldest Christian
church in the world—the church
of the Nativity. The visit also
took him to the Temple area
where Solomon built the first
Temple, to the famed Wailing
Wall and to the Garden of Geth
semane, in addition to other his
toric spots.
‘‘It was a wonderful eight
days,” he wrote. "We sometimes
forget that these places still exist
and it was a thrill to see them all.”
He swam in the Dead Sea, where,
“you couldn’t sink if you wanted
to” berause of the heavy salt
water, and in the Sea of Galilee.
The Butte soldier also was “in
on” the Teheran conference where
he helped staff the conference
camp. One of the best phases of
the Conference to him was “a big
party where we had chicken, tuna,
roast beef, sandwiches and the
first bottles of Coco Cola we have
had since we came over.
Cpl. McHugh is a graduate of
St. Mary’s school and Boys Cen
tral school. He enlisted in the
Army in May, 1942, and has been
overseas since October, 1942. He
is now serving with an engineer
utility detachment. McHugh was
a boiler maker’s helper before
entering the service.

Frontier Reader Pays Subscription
Four Years In Advance
Walter Scott, one of the old time
Frontier readers from Chambers,
was a caller Wednesday to extend
his subscription. Mr. Scott said
that he did not get to town very
ofen and that when he did was
always so busy looking after his
trucking business that he did not
get around like he would like to.
He said he did not want to miss
The Frontier, so he planked down
the necessary cash to pay him
up to January 1, 1948. Mr. Scott
thus becomes the only reader with
his subscription paid four years
in advance. Wish there were
more like Mr. Scott. It would
make the life of the average
country editor mucheasier. Many
thanks Walter.

North Western Railroad
Urges Victory Gardens
Pointing out that Victory gard
eners last year raised more than
half of the civilian supply of fresh
vegetables, R. L. Williams, chief
executive officer of the Chicago
and North Western Railway Com
pany urged intensification of *the
garden program in 1944 in a
message issued today to 32,000
employees and officers of the rail
way.
“A few ounces of seed, well
planted and well cared for, /ill
grow into many pounds of vita
min-rich food,” he said, explain
ing that leisure hours in Victory
gardens can be converted into
satisfying work contributing
greatly to the war effort. “Twenty
million Victory gardens in 1943,”
he said, “produced eight million
tons of food, or more than half
the fresh vegetables available to
civilians.”
williams also announced mat
the company will continue in 1944
its long-standing policy of grant
ing garden space with out charge
to employees along its available
right-of-way in nine states. The
policv was first inaugurated dur
ing World War I to help combat
the food problem of that period.
The North Western was the first
railroad during the prespnt war
period to open up its available
right-of-way to employees for
garden purposes.

Wartime Diet Changes
Build National Health
Consumption of the two food
nutrients most likely to be defi
cient in the human diet has in
creased greatly. Calcium snd
riboflavin are present in the aver
age daily menus of today in much
greater quantities than a few
years ago, according to the Bureau
of Human Nutrition and Home
Economics of the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture.
The increase in the human in
take of both calcium and riboflavin
that has taken place in the past
decade is due to the fact that con
sumption of milk, ice cream, and
cheese has increased about
twenty-five percent per capita in
that time, continues the Bureau
of Home Nutrition and Home
Economics. This represents one
of the greatest improvements
made in the human diet in recent
years.
“Milk and its products are the
best course of both these food
constituents,” states Mrs. Ethel
Austin Martin, Director of Nu
trition, National Dairy Council.
Seventy-five per cent of all the
national diet are furnished by milk
calcium and forty-six percent of
all the riboflavin included in the
cheese and ice cream.
“Calcium is important to the
body as a builder and maintainer
of bones and teeth, and is also
needed in many of the fluids
which govern the body's involun
tary activities," aceordinng to the
government agency. “Riboflavin
promotes growth and is essential
for normal nutrition at all ages,
Insufficient quantities of riboflavin
for any length of time may be
followed by digestive disturb
ances. nervous disorders, and
some type of ‘eye strain’ and a
lowered general resistance."
American Bankers Ass’it
Lead Subsidy Fight
The American Bankers Asso
ciation has just announced to all
its member banks in the nation
the plan it will pursue in its active
fight against subsidized govern
ment competition. This country
wide bank organization states that
its position supports the stand of
leading farm organizations as they
oppose the control of agricultural
credit by political forces.
In the official announcement at
its position, the American Bank
ers Association states:
“We recognize the right of
farmers or any other group to
establish and maintain cooperative
credit enterprises. The Ameri
can Bankers Asociation believes
that the agencies of the Farm
Credit Administration should be
farmer-owned and farmer-con
trolled cooperative credit insti
tutions, operating on a self sup
porting basis and that income
should be adequate to cover costs
of operation, including credit
losses.
“It is recognized that direct re
lief by the government in times
of serious economic stress may in
volve granting of loans from
public funds as a temporary emer
gency expedient. However, the
continued practice of making un
economic loans from public funds
violates the principles upon which
credit rests.
“The American Bankers Asso
ciation has long been opposed to
the socialization of credit by <he
government. We believe that the
present subsidies enjoyed by Pro
duction Credit Associations should
be returned to the United States
Treasury.”
The leadership of the A. B. C.
in an active fight against subsi
dized lending was secured last
year after a nation-wide group of
country bankers led by the Ne
braska Bankers Association and
others insisted that this fight be
made nationally. This has led to
the establishment of the Country
Bank Commission within the
national Association and the pro
motion of an aggresive campaign
to protect small banks from the
competition of government sub
sidized bureaus.
Miss Dorothy Krotovil spent the
week-end in Osmond visiting her
parents and other relatives and
friends.
