SMALL DOSES
PAST AND PRESENT
By Romaine Saunders
Do the chairman of the demo
cratic national committee and the
fourth term candidate consider
the American citizens so dumb
that they do not see the purpose
in removing canned goods and
farm machinery as restricted
commodities just five weeks be
fore election?
This shooting story is found in
a city paper coming from a Ne
braska town: “Paul Witzki, 74,
retired brick layer and pioneer
ended his life Saturday night by
shooting, at a local hotel.” That
any pioneer Nebraskan should
miss the mark like that would
have made old Bill Cody snort in
disgust.
The Anti-Saloon League must
have gone wet. At the expense
of the brewers the league has
been bribed into } running half
page ads setting forth the amaz
ing argument that the president’s
war powers authorize him to con
trol the booze biz, while the
amber streams continue to flow
unrestricted across the land.
In honor of their daughters,
Miss Hamorah and Mrs. B. B.
Black, who departed Tuesday for
Denver, Mr. and Mrs. George
Meals entejrhaii eid forty guests
at their pleasant home south of
Atkinson Sunday night. The
less energetic of the guests en
joyed the social hours in
doors while other groups went
on “treasure hunts” out in a
misty drizzle. Lunch of creamed
chicken sandwiches, doughnuts
and coffee was served. At 3 a.
m., the guests climbed into cars
and headed for home, quite
unanimously agreeing that the
Meals family are charming enter
tainers.
Through bits of evidence that
pointed to premediated self-de
struction there died last week in
a Californiai city a personage who
had drawn about her a large fol
lowing of individuals witth per
haps more religious fervor than
sound spiritual principles. The
career of this woman was spec
tacular, her matrimonial ventures
possibly questionable. Gifted
with magnetic charm, the skill of
the most accomplished dramatic
actor, a flow of elegant rhe
torical nothing, there was
nothing lacking in human
appeal that caught the mul
titudes. All this as persona
fled in one individual goes to
the grave with the individ
ual. The multitudes who hitched
their wagon to her star awoke to
know that) it was a being of com
mon clay they were following.
Brilliant personages, often dem
agogues, flash across the scene
for a brief period and sink into
night’s oblivion. The thing they
have started endures to the ex
tent it is founded,, not on bluster
and baubles, but upon the eternal
principles of truth and righteous
ness.
Hero worship begins in the
pink glow of life’s early sunrise,
shifts fitfully from one object to
another, fades as a ghostly ap
parition before we tread with the
march of time to the sunset hour.
My first hero was a heroine, a
charming, a beautiful school
teacher who sang like a nightin
gale and was kind to the restless
children. Then a snare drummer
in the > swanky uniformed band
fascinated me. A basso profundo
in a church choir, Ethan Allen,
Mad Anthony Green, Daniel
Boone, Buffalo Bill, each in turn
appealed to childish fancy.
Perhaps the noun, “hero wor
ship.” does not convey the true
meaning. The thought is of a
goal, something above and be
yond to reach for and attain to—
a guiding star for . life’s great ad
venture. Childhood and youth
are enthralled by the glitter and
glow—and then one day their
reaching for a goal, their aspir
ation, catches the gleam of the
eternal values and matured life
emerges from unrest and un
certainty into the infinite calm
of eternity’s abiding principles.
These verses, written Phyllis
A. Carpenter, a former corres
pondent for The Frontier at
Chambers, is a fitting tribute to
our boys who do not wear the
stripes and bars of military dig
nity but are the real effect force
moving on the enemy.
G. I. JOE
G. I. Joe is the little guy—
Wth his hair cut G. I. style.
Plans Completed For
Calf Show And Sale
Here Next Monday
The Holt County Calf Show and
Sale, Monday, October 9th, at
O’Neill will attract the attention
i of a large number of Holt County
people next week.
Entries have been made for
nearly all of Holt County’s 119
4-H club calves but a few are ex
pected before the deadline this
Saturday. This year with only a
4-H club show being held the pre
miums being awarded by the
O’Neill Commercial Club have
been extended to cover more cal
ves in most classes. Some special
prizes have been contributed by
the Holt County Hereford Associa
tion and a few Holt County ranch
ers. The show will be judged by
Mr. K. C. Fouts of Seward and a
showmanship contest will be judg
ed by Mr. W. W. Derrick from the
Extension Service while the calves
are being placed.
The 4-H club sales will be held
through the O’Neill Livestock
Commission Company along with
the Commercial Feeder Calf Sale.
Ranchers have been listing calves
with the sale managers during the
past few weeks but more good
quality calves are needed to in
sure that the buyers’ needs will be
met. This sale nas been well ad
vertised in the Des Moines Tribune
Register, in eastern Nebraska local
Sapers and over Cornbelt Radio
tations. There seems to be enough
I interested buyers to make the sale
; a success. Consign your calves
I with the management as they will
be sold in the order that they are
listed.
St. Mary's Cardinals Trim
Stuart 42 To 6 In Six-Man
Game Here On Tuesday
Fullback Richard Clark led the
St. Mary’s Cardinals to their sec
ond win of the season, scoring four
touchdowns. Scoring began early
in the first quarter, when Clark
[ intercepted a pass and ran forty
i yards to score. This set off the
fuse, and from thereon it was St.
i Mary’s ball game. The score at
the half stood 28-0.
In the second half, Kelly and
Baker, each crossed the goal. Be
hind the able kicking toe of Ed.
Campbell, St. Mary’s made three
conversions. Stuart limited their
offense to a passing attack, mak
ing only three first downs. St.
Mary’s reserves played the last
quarter. Stuart scored their one
touchdown on a long pass thrown
by Shaffer, who looked good for
i Stuart.
The Cardinals will meet the
Chambers Coyotes under the lights
Friday night at eight o’clock,

SPORT NEWS
AND VIEWS
Richard Cronin
Other games in the Big Six
found only one of the Big Sif
teamst winning and that was Iowa
State University, which ran over
Gustavus Adolphus to the tune of
49-0. Kansas State and the Uni
fersity of Wichita played to a
6 to 6 tie, while the Norman
Zoomers sunk Oklahoma 28-14
and the Ohio State University
trampled only forward as they
defeated Missouri 54-0. In the
Big Ten six of the Big Ten win
ning with the biggest upset of
the afternoon was Indiana
University who trimmed the
University of Michigan 21-0.
Purdue beat Marquette 40-7.
Wisconsin’s extra point after
touchdown beat Northwestern
7-6; and as I said before Ohio
State ran over Missouri 54-0, and
the Minnesota Gophers scuttled
Nebraska 39-0. While in the big
service games the Second Air
Force hung up their fifth con
secutive victory as they blasted
Colorado 33-6. The Lincoln Army
Air Field eleven provided an up
set by beating Fort Warren 14-5,
while in another big upset of the
day the navy men (from North
Carolina Preflight beat Navy
21-14.
On the football front over the
week-end the young and inexper
ienced Nebraska Cornhuskers
opened their 1944 season as they
traveled to Minneapols, Minn.,
where they played their first
game against the Minnesota
Gophers with the Cornhuskers on
the short end of the 39-0 score.
The Gophers took pity on the
Cornhuskers in the last half and
they used their second, third and
fourth stringers regularly as the
Huskers held them to a single
touchdown during the last half.
Although the Cornhuskers were
beaten badly and, which prob
ably could have been much worse,
they learned a lot out there
on the field aganst the Gold
en Gophers The boys tried
hard, but it again proves
the saying that you can’t
take a group of 16, 17 and 18 year
old boys and put them against
men who have several years of
experience behind them, and ex
pect them to gain anything. The
Cornhuskers may be laughed at
now but they are waiting jfor the
time when this war is over and
they ^n have some of the good
old teams like they had in 1940
when the Nebraska Cornhuskers
were one of the best teams in the
nation, and when they were in
vited and went to California and
played Stanford in the Rose
Bowl the highest of all football
classics.
After the most spectacular pen
nant race the American League
has seen the amazing St. Louis
Browns defeat the New York
Yankees for their fourth consec
utive time 5-2, while the Detroit
Tigers dropped their last game to
the Washington Senators 4-1, to
give the St. Louis Browns their
first pennant after 43 years o(f try
ing. The Browns drive was
headed by Chet Labbs, left fielder
whose two home runs broke up
the game and gave the Browns the
pennant that they most certainly
deserve. It was a nip and tuck
race with the Browns finishing
just a game ahead of the Tigers,
with the New York Yankees in
third place and Boston holding
down fourth position. Six weeks
ago I predicted the Browns to
win the pennant, with the Tigers
close at their heels and that is
certany the way the race ended.
The World Series will open Wed
nesday afternoon with the St.
Louis Browns opposing the St.
Louis Cardinals in an all St.
Louis series. Although the Card
inals are heavy favorites to cop
the series I am going out on a
limb and pick the Browns to up
set them. When the season start
ed nobody expected the Browns
to even vnish in the top four but
they played their hearts out and
deserved to win the pennant, and
I believe they will try twice as
hard to win their first World
Series. The game starts at 2 p.m.,
(central war time) with the like
ly pitchers being Nelson Potter
of the Browns, who has a win and
lost record of 19-7 and Mort
Cooper, of the Cardinals, with a
season’s record of 22 games won
while dropping seven contests.
There will be an estimated crowd
of 35„000 people there Wednes
day afternoon to see the opener of
the first all St. Louis Series.
Mrs. O. W. French and Mrs.
Paul Shierk made a business trip
