LXIV O’NEILL, NEBRASKA, THURSDAY, MARCH 30, 1944 NO. 47
Lt. George Hammond
To Receive 6 More
Weeks Of Training
Medical Replacement Training
I Center, Camp Barclay, Texas.
I (Special.) In a move designed to
- ultimately releive thousands of
medical officers for duties more
' demanding of their complete pro
fessional knowledge, the second
six-week class of the School for
Medical Administrative Corps
Officers recently began training
here. Among officers in the class
i is 2nd Lt. Herbert G. Hammond,
19, son of Mr. and Mrs. H. J.
Hammond, of 111 East Douglas
Street, O’Neill. Nebr.
Purpose of the school is to tiain
the officers for the- duties of Bat
talion Surgeon’s Assistants to
replace medical officers ^ who
serve in Battalion Surgeon s Am
Stations. Located a few hundred
yards to the rear of the battalion
in combat that it supports, the
station receives and treats slight
casualties and renders emergency
treatment, such as the adminis
tration of blood plasma, to the
seriously wounded. Its principal
purpose, however, is to super
vise swift evacuation of the ser
ious cases by litter to the rear. _
Properly trained in the techni
cal medical and surgical treat
ment of battle casualties, the
MAC officers will be able to
render all the service that has
been performed in the past by
Medical Corps officers at the
stations. It is emphasized, how
ever, that the purpose is not to
remove medical officers from the
field, but by more effective cus
tribution to better utilize their
professional capabilities.
Nearness of the station to the
front lines and the limitations of
equipment and personnel to a
minimum so that the station is
ready to move with the battalion
at a moment’s notice, are factors
that restrict medical treatment
that can be done there.
In addition, these men will be
used as instructors in Medical
Replacement Training Centers,
and Unit Training Centers. Here
they will teach the subjects in
which they are now receiving
training to men who will be per
sonnel of medical installations.
Under the directidff of Brig
Gen. Roy C. Heflebower, Com
manding General, MRTC, and Lt.
Col. August H. Groeschel, As
sistant Commandant, the school
is the first to specifically train
officers for this work.

Six Bankers Meetings
During Month Of April
Bankers of Nebraska will hold
their regular group meetings in
April of this year and the official
call has gone out to all members
;of the Nebraska Bankers Asso
ciation to attend them.
Bankers are reminded that
these six regular group meet
ings were abandoned last spring
because of the war, but so vital
and pressing are the problems
confronting banks this year that
the officers of all groups agreed
the resumption of these confer
j ences to be of prime importance
now.
The meeting of Group Three,
in which this county is located,
i will be at Norfolk on Saturday,
April 22, (Arbor Day.)
A new feature of a number of
these bahker meetings will be
the presence on the program of
representative newspaper editors
from the various districts. Much
comment has recently developed
regarding what may be a chal
lenge to the freedom of the press
as well as the freedom of individ
ual enterprise in our country and
i bankers feel there may exist a
threat against the foundations
of both newspapers and banker
that calls for immediate study.
Governor Griswold and Ex
Congressman Coffey are among
the speakers of note who will
address some of these meetings.
In spite of the shortage of man
power and the difficulties, the
biggest attendance in recent
years is expected at these group
meetings.

Programs Of The Activities
Of The Women in The Army
Navy And Marines Will Be
On The Air Over W. O. W.
As a tribute to our gallant
American women, who by their
enlistment in the Armed Forces,
are making a highly significant
contribution to the war effort,
radio station WOW will broad
cast a series of programs drama
tizing the experiences and activ
ities of women in the WAC,
WAVES, SPARS. Women MAR
INES, and NURSE’S CORP. The
program is entitled “Now Is The
Time” and will be one-half hour
of drama and music to be heard
on four consecutive Saturdays
beginning Saturday, March 25,
8:30 a. m. Central War Time.
To give listeners informatidn
as well as entertainment this
series of programs has been des
ignated to high-light the true
part played by our Service Wom
en. The scripts are based on
material gathered by well
known radio and newspaper
women writers, who have made
several field trips to service cen
ters where women are on duty.
They have watched service wom
en at work, at play, on parade
and in their quarters. The pur
pose was to get to know the
girls, their background, their
reasons for joining, and the
nature of the jobs assigned them.
“Now Is The Time” will tell the
stories of women in uniform and
many little-known facts about
the work these women are doing
behind the fighting scenes of our
present struggle.
A distinguishing feature of the
program series is that for the
first time in history, an entire
radio production from script to
engineering will be handled by
women. For additional infor
mation concerning “Now Is The
Time” consult WOW or any Ser
vice Recruiting Station.

Instructions From
District OPA Office
Shoe retailers may temporarily
sell children’s shoes ration-free
in ranges sized 8Mj through 12, and
misses’ and little boys’ shoes in
sizes 12*6 through 3, announced
M. E. Rawlings, District OPA
Director.
These shoes may be sold to con
sumers ration-free from May 1
through May 20 at a maximum
price of $1.60 per pair.
Retailers may sell from their
own stocks, and also may sell
shoes bought from other dealers
if the shoes are shipped from the
supplier on or before April 29,
and are sold to consumers before
May 21.
Each pair sold ration-free must
be marked with the word “Releas
ed” and the date of the sale.
Shoes so purchased may not be
exchanged for rationed shoes
unless ration currency is given.
Dealers who advertise ration
free sales of these shoes are to
refer to them in any notice or
advertisement as “OPA Release—
Children’s low-priced shoes. Ra
tion-free from May 1 through
May 20.”
Any released shoes held after
May 20 will be returned to the
ration list.
Sugar for home canning will be
available at the same rate as last
year—a maximum of 25 pounds
for each family member, the War
Price Rationing Board announced
this week.
Though the total amount per
person has not been increased,
there are fewer restrictions this
year on the type of canning for
which it can be used wthn the
famly.
Five pounds of the allotment
can be obtained with sugar stamp
40 in Ration Book IV. already
validated. As soon as the local
war price and ration Boards have
received the proper forms certifi
cates for the additional supply will
be granted. Since fresh fruits are
not yet available for canning in
this district, it may be a few more
weeks before applications will be
granted the local Board said.
Applications may be obtained
and returned to local Boards by
mail. But this year, instead of
enclosing ration books with the
application, spare stamp 37 from
ration book IV must accompany
the form.
BILL FILES IN PROTEST
Our old friend and veteran
newspaper man asks the demo
cratic nomination for Railway
Commissioner, saying:
"I filed as a protest against a
handpicked slate, of delegates and
as a protest against political sub
serviency to a dictatorial bunch
in Washington that ostensibly
serves under the democratic ban
ner but wouldn't recognize a
democratic idea if they met it in
the open road in broad daylight.
I am a state’s rights democrat,
believing that Nebraska has the
right to manage her own purely)
internal affairs without taking
orders from bureaus and com
missions sitting in solitary splen
dor more than a thousand miles
away. I am opposed to federally
subsidized competition with pri
vate business honestly conducted
and under strict regulation. I
still believe that this is a govern
ment with three coordinate
branches, legislative, judicial and
executive; the legislature to en
act the laws, the judicial to inter
pret and the executive to exec
utive to execute. I object to the
executive legislating, interpret
ing and executing.
“II do not need the job for
financial reasons. If I get it I
will not be beholden to any
bunch subservient to Washington
dictation, but will be free to
serve the people as I tried to
serve them while Commissioner,
insisting that Nebraska laws
were superior to bureaucratic
dictation. If I fail I shall be
happy to continue a private but
public spirited citizen, enjoying
my home life and free to speak
my mind then as always. I am
more interested m wise, econom
ical government than I am in
mere partisan success.”
Rosemary received many lovely
gifts.
