NEBRASKA, THURSDAY, JUNE 21, 1945 NO. 6
Nebraska Stock Growers Hold
Very Successful Meeting
O’Neill was the center of the
Nebraska Cattle Industry last
week and many men prominent
in the industry, as well as in
other walks of life, were present
at the annual meeting of the Ne
braska’ Stock Growers, held here
last Thursday, Friday and Satur
day. Prominent among the
guests were Governor Dwighi
Griswold, Former Governor Sam
* McKelvie, Harry Coffey, presi
m dent of the Omaha Stock Yards
* and a former member of con
gress, Dr. Miller, congressman
from this district and Carl Curtis,
member of congress from the
First congressional district; Ed
ward Wilson, president of the Wil
son Packing Company, one of the
largest in the United States;
Thomas Wilson, chairman Board
of Directors Wilson Packing com
pany and many other notables
in public life and in the financial
and commercial life of the state
and the nation.
Hundreds of people were in the
city Friday afternoon to see the
Wilson Packing Company shaw
horses and they were beauties. |
Unfortunately rain fell during ■
the afternoon for the crowd on |
the street, but no one complained
as rain is always welcome. The
horses were beauties and while
the large crowd were busily in
specting them Ernie Weller, of
Atkinson put on a bond sale and
succeeded in selling $84,285.00
worth of bonds, $27,750.00 to resi
dents of this county and it will
be credited to the various towns
and townships that the purchas
ers reside in. Those lving out
side the county will have their
purchases credited to their own
towns and counties. Consider
ing the rainfall during the sale,
it is thought it was a very good
auction.
There were 505 people register
ed at the 56th Annual Meeting of
the Nebraska Stock Growers held
in O’Neill last week. The meet
ing was well attended by local
members of the Association and
4 members of the Executive Coun
" cil and Advisory Board. The
program consisted of talks by very ;
able speakers and a number of
stockmen present said that it was
one of the best meetings that they j
had ever attended.
The members and guests were

Ti.eater Party for the visiting
ladies at the Royal Theater,
while the men were at the Country
Club. On Friday afternoon the
wives of the Commercial Club
members were hosts to the visit
ing ladies at a luncyheon held at
the Golden Hotel.
Friday evening the ladies of
the Methodist Church served a
banquet to 450 members of the
association and their guests. The
banquet was held at the O’Neill
High School Auditorium. The

The Commercial Club wishes
to thank the members of the Boy
Scouts for their very able help
during the meeting. Special
thanks are due to Ira George and
the O’Neill Band who played two
concerts on the street and played
at the banquet. The German
Band and their able assistants
highlighted the Stag Party. We
wish to compliment the Girl’s
Trio’s who sang for the meetings.
The financial donation^ of
the business and professional
men df the city enabled us to en
tertain our guests properly.
Thanks are due to all those who
opened their homes to the mem
bers and guests of the association.
The officers of the association
expressed their appreciation of
O’Neill’s hospitality. They indi
cated their desire that the asso
ciation would be invited to hold
a meeting in O’Neill at some
later date.

Rt. 5, Atkinson
It is understandable why a gent
will pay $10 for a permit to take
his chances for knocking over a
deer, but why should anyone pay
out money for a license to catch j
a leather-back bullhead.
A gal down at Lincoln “left by'
plane Friday morning to spend
several weeks in New York City
ad other easter poits visiting
former school friends.” Pull
down those little stickers, “Is
this trip necessary?”
To a Nebraskan that served as
a lieutenant in the army until
taken prisoner by the Germans,
standing out above everything
when released was the sight of
the American flag, an American
hot meal and a warm bath.
“And the hungry coyote sneaks
up through the grass,” ran a line
of the Inman homesteader’s elegy
immortalizing the sod house.
The carnivora is still hungry and
still sneaking. They are helping
)themselves to a “leg of mutton”
over at the Bly ranch.
A few neighbors had gathered
for the funeral of the meanest
man in the country. It was cus
tomary to say something good
of the deceased, but nobody could
think of anything good to say
until Pat got up and said: “The
deceased was not always as bad
as he was sometimes.”
Edward Kennedy, American
Press correspondent who went
around brass buttons to tell of
the surrender of Germany in ad

he . would do it again. The war
was over .... the people had a
right to know.”
The Dexter ranch near the

world horrors, on printed page,
out of the mysterious electric
waves coming in on wireless
wings—the brain staggers, the
heart chills; eyes, ears, the senses
respond no longer to contradictory
human emotions that bring
neither laughter nor tears. And
along comes the announcement of
a rodeo out at Alliance this month
and 600,000 tons of sugar headed

The Nebraska weather bureau
made this forecast for June 9 for
the state: “Warmer weather

Saturday with only occasional

Drip, drip, drip—soggy with in

in June the mails brought to me
“a tribute to Dad,” the closing
line reading, “There’s never been
a finer man than dad—and never

such a tribute dad may feel he
fully senses that it is not a filial
gesture, but flavored with the
sacred fragrance of personal
memory. I dare not veil the past
nor yet close the brain, the heart,
the vision to the future. The
future lays across life’s pathway
the rainbows matchless luster;
the past lays at our feet the her

the music, revelation, inspiration,
the accumulated product of hand
and brain, and love’s tender
memories.
During Mr. Hoover’s term as
president there was annoyance
because of jobless men soliciting
handouts, an every day reminder
of a widespread financial and in
dustrial crisis. Nobody suffered
much, no one was shot or blown

Funeral Of John J. Hynes
Held Monday Morning
The funeral of John Hynes, ,
who lost his life in the crash of
a Sioux City-O’Neill bus and a
truck near Inman, on Wednes-1
day night of last week, was held
from St. Patrick’s Church in this
city last Monday morning at 10
o'clock, Rev. Monsignor McNa
mara officiating and burial in Cal
vary cemetery. The funeral was
very largely attended, practically
all the residents of his section of
the county coming to attend the
last rites for their departed
neighbor and friend. ,
John Hynes was born on the
farm north of O’Neill, that he
owned at the time of his death,
on July 12, 1890. He grew to
manhood there and after the
death of his father operated the
farm and looked after the prop
erty tor his mother, brothers and
sisters, finally purchasing the
place.
On October 24, 1927, he was
united in marriage to Miss Lor
etta Sullivan, who with four
children are left to mourn the
passing of a kind and affectionate
ate husband and father. The
children are: Edward, Mary
Joann, Robert and Helen Clare.
Ha is also survived by five broth
ers and three sisters. They are:
Mrs. Louis Sullivan, Pasco, Wash.;
Dennis Hynes, Portland, Oregon;
Hynes, O’Neill; Mrs. Cecelia Eng-1
Mathew, Austin and Bernard
elgau, Portland, Oregon; Mrs.
Catherine Dillon, Los Angeles,
California.
John Hynes was a good citizen
and had a host of friends in the
northern section of the county,
where he spent his entire life.
He was a good husband and
father, a splendid and accommo
dating neighbor and a loyal friend.
His standing among his friends
and neighbors in his section of
the county was attested by the
very larjge crowd from that sec
tion of the county who attended
his funeral rites.
The sorrowing family and rela
tives have the sympathy of the
entire community in their hour
of sorrow.

cons stink of filthy lucre, every
body at work or out on strikes;
federal debt swelled beyond
human hopes, a million desolated
homes across the nation; men,
women—husbands, fathers, sons,
daughters—shot down, bombed,
burnt, butchered, beheaded,
starved, sunk in the fathomless
depth of the seven seas. Take
your choice; it’s the Yankee’s
privilege.

pure English that flows like a

ory’s door of brass, turns away
and walks toward the future.
Shall the past be erased from
life’s dreams of joy and sorrow?
“Remember now,” encourages
Solomon, “thy creator in the days
of thy youth.” Remembrance is
of things of yesterday—weeks,
months, years written on the
scroll of time. History is time’s
unrolled scroll. Its bearing on
the future is (fundamental. Mem
ory is the individual response to
life—the photographic plate of
life’s achievements, its blunders,
its fun and folly; its thrills, its
heartaches. Each week a day is
honored in memory of the work
of creation, annually comes a day
when memory’s tribute is laid in
the lap of mother, a day in honor
“Before it comes on night.”
That’s a commonplace. "For ere
the night of this same day shall
come in noiseless step to cover
all with heaven’s darkened dome.”
That’s a literary classic. “Getting
old.” Another commonplace.
But listen. Ripened years glow
with the poetic beauty at life’s
full fruition:
‘Time is just a little fleeter;
Friendships just a little sweeter,
And the fruits of memory mellow
Aa the years and years go by.”
“Old cronie9.” Another short
cut that leaves you guessing.
Again the harpstrings of the poet
thrill:
“And if time’s a little fleeter,
Friendships just a little sweeter,
And the story otf its splendor
Always old and ever new;
How the years make okl friends
dearer,
Hearts to hearts a little nearer
Till with friendship grown more
tender
I am telling this fco you.”
Holt County Gets $15,000
Credit On Northwestern
Railroad Bond I*urchases
Holt county will be credited
with $15,000 in war bonds by the j
Chicago and Northw'estern Rail
way Company as the result of its
purchase of $15,000,000 in Sev
enth War Loan Bonds.
This was announced Monday by
R. L. Williayns, president of the
railway company, who pointed
out that as in previous war bond
purchases by the company, credit
will be allocater! to more than
200 counties in eight of the states
in which the railway operates.
"Since the First War Loan
drive the North Western has
purchased more than $165,000,000
in various types of wrar securit
ies,” Williams declared. “This
does not include several million
dollars in war bonds bought on
the payroll allotment plan by
company officers and employees.” j
“The importance of the Sev
enth War .Loan cannot be over
emphasized in the light off the
; tremendous requirements of our
1 armed forces fighting in the
! Pacific area,” he said. “Every
bond purchased at this time will
i shorten the war and help save
American lives.”
License Renewals Wins
Heavy Approval
Lincoln—More than 99% of all
Nebraska beer retailers who ap
plied for license renewals this
spring had their applications ap
proved by licensing authorities
without objection or protest of
| any kind from local citizens, ac
cording to State Director Charles
E. Sandall oif the Nebraska Com
mittee, U. S. Brewers Foundation.
His reports came direct from
municipal clerks throughout the |
state, he said.
I In only eight towns did the
local governing bodies receive
protests against the issuance of
, one or more licenses and only
five of such protests were based
I on alleged imprr er or unsatis
factory tavern operations, stated
Mr. Sandall. He called the record
, particularly satisfactory in view i
! o|f the fact that the Nebraska j
Committee’s spring advertising
strongly urged public cooperation
to help prevent issuance of license
renewals to undeserving retailers.!
“When citizens in less than 2%
of the towns exercised the right
and civic duty of voicing protests
1 against undeserving applicants it
may be assumed nearly all were j
satisfied with the way the retail
beer business was being conduct
ed in this state,” he commented. !
Resolution of Appreciation
We express our most sincere
thanks to the City of O’Neill, the
O’Neill High School Band the
Commercia lClub, the Methodist
Ladies, and all others of this
1 splendid! community whose efforts
have made this meeting such a
distinct, success.

T-5 Harold E. Alder
Writes Interesting letter
About German Conquest
Following is a letter written to
Mr. and) Mrs. D. E. Alder by their
son, T-5 Harold E. Alder, who is
in the 79th Division in Germany;
“Dortmund, Germany, May 25, '45
Dear Folks: How ie everybody
back there? Fine, I hope, as
this leoves me well and happy.
Well folks we had some pretty
tough battles and a lot of us got
hurt. But it is all over now. 1
I was in Brussels, Belgium V. E.
Day and they really celebrated
the day down there. I was one;
of the luckiest ones and got a
three day pass down there.
Yes folks I can write a lot more
now since the war is over with
the krauts. We left England and
hit the beach about 2 o’clock in,
the afternoon on the 10th day of1
June. Then we got organized
and made our first, attack on the
19th day of June. And, believe
me, I’ll never forget that date.
We had an objective about 1500
yards ahead to take. It was |
some real high ground, and we
were to make a night attack.
So just as it was getting dark
some G. I. let his rifle go off as
cidently and some one hollered,
“Sniper in the big tree.” Well
everybody fired and they had
tracer bullets and they were
not going over my head
too far, and I was really hugging
the ground. So finally after the
ordeal was over I asked one of
my buddies if he had fired any
and he replied “no." So| I asked
to see his rifle and when I looked
he had fired seven rounds. He
said he was too excited he guessed
as he never remembered firing
any.
“We fought on into Cherbourg
and took the big Fort De Roule,!
covering the bay. Then toward i
Brest, then back toward Paris,
then clear down to the Belgium
border, then back to Reims,
Verdun, Charms, Lunneville and
to Strasburg, From Strasburg
to Lnuterburg, Germany, and we
sat on the Seigfreid line ifor three
weeks. Then we went down to
Haiginau, then to Aachen. We
were there until everything got i
all stt then the 79th spearheaded
the Rhine river between Dussel
dorf and Duisburg. We fought
all the way to Dortmund, where
we were relieved and our com
bat days were over. Thank God. j
“Well, Mom you asked me what
army I am in. We are in the 9th
army the past two months but we I
have fought in every army over ;
here, and we are very proud off
the 79th Division’s Officers and
men, believe me. Well, Mom,
you know I could write a thous
and pages of stuff like this, but
I’d rather tell you about it when
I see you, which I don’s think
will be long.
“Boy, ,this quiet life sure is
the thing for me and I’m really
resting up now, as we don’t have
very much to do, just a little
guard duty is all. Well this is
| all for now so ‘till next letter it’s
good bye. With love and kisses,
HAROLD.

Patrol Traffic Tips
A railroad crossing accident,
which recently happened in west
ern Nebraska, took the lives of
four from a family. This is tragic
evidence that grade crossing ac
cidents are on the increase. Dur
ing the first 5% months of 1945,
12 Nebraskans were killed at
railroad crossings. This is a fifty
per cent increase over 1944.
Everyone hates to miss a rain,
but there is one time everyone
should miss it—at a grade cross
ing!
When you’re driving on the
highway, don’t drive with a one
track mind, it’s well to remember
I there may be a second track too.
Our tip is: Miss that train!
Look! Listen! Live!
Hastings Needs Workers
And Right Away
Increased demand for rocket
bombs this week gave high, prior
ity in War Manpower needs un
der Federal Civil Service in five
midwestern states to the Naval
Amunition Depot at Hastings,
Ncbr. Announcement of recruit
ing emphasis on ammunition work
ers was made last week by Rena
B. Smith, Director of Federal
Civil Service in Minnesota, Iowa,
Nebraska and the Dakotas.
More than 700 workers are
sought immediately for the Hast
ings facility, which is primarily
a production plant rather than a
storage depot. Naval authorities
said 1500 workers would be
needed there by July 31.
Top priority recruiting in the
five states of the region for war
facilities outside the region is
placed on mechanics, electricians,
and sheet metal workers for ship
repair yards.
In emphasizing the need of ship
yard workers, both naval and civil
service authorities here point
to the fact that the navy has been
forced recently to send the Air
craft Carrier Franklin, damaged
: in the Pacific, through the Pana
i ma Canal to an east coast ship
yard for repairs.

purse taken from under her arm
