SMALL DOSES
PA ST AND PRESENT
By Romaine Saunders
Rt. 5, Atkinson
An overwhelming majority
down at Lincoln cling to the
good Nebraska tradition of in
dividual thrift. They have re
jected the idea that industrial
prosperity can be successfully
based on indebtedness as repre
sented by mortgaged homes to
float an issue of bonds. Maybe
the uplifters, promoters a..d
official functionaries will yet dis
cern that good Cankee citizens
have the stuff in them to make
their own jobs when unmolested,
not hamstrung by “regulations.”
The teachers’ institute held last
week under modern educational
requirements probably casts a
shadow of a smile—if not derision
—on the methods of an early day
county superintendent. Bartley
Blaine, preacher and educational
guide, gave the late John Harmon
a horse and buggy examination
out on the open prairie down in
the southwest grass lands where,
aspiring to become a pedagogue
or more likely needing the twenty
a month, he was holding down a
claim. Supt. Blaine O. K.’d the
answers, issued the certificate to
teach and John got the sod house
school.
Give us a wag of your tail, old
dog, give us a wag of your tail.
There are dogs and dogs. And
dogs like men vary a lot. Men
are cheerful, cordial, pleasant or
gloomy, grouchy, sour according
to their mental slant. Who can
resist the happy appeal of a
friendly pup or who can resist the
impulse to cast a stone at a bark
ing fool that is harbored at some
homes? The loyalty of dogs as
“Mans’ best friend” has become
classic. The owner of a dog is no
less loyal to his pup, no matter
how worthless the howling mutt
may be. But maybe the individ
ual with the sour apple dispo
sition and the barking, snarling
rf dog have their place in the econ
- omy of life. So “let the dogs de
light to bark and bite, for God
has made them so.”
There is something pathetic in
the lives of city dwellers forever
walled away from thq great out
doors. Walled away from the
transcending charm of earth and
sky, held in thraldom to the con
crete and crowded streets, the
shreik of whistles, the clang of
gongs, the grinding noises of
machine existence. What to
them is the flash of dawn, the
glare of noonday, the golden glory
of sunset painting a picture of
matchless loveliness that blends
into the night sky studded with
creation’s gems. What to them is
the song of the lark, the anthems
of nature’s varied vocies, the long
sweep of distance, the waving
tree tops and the sparkle of lakes
and streams? The outdoors calls
to every normal being and the
closer the walk with nature the
less the appeal of the artificial,
the shoddy things of life, the un
worthy, the harmful.
Pioneer priests and preachers
were inspired by something
transcending the hope of finan
cial reward. What seemed to be
a starvation diet of about $300 a
year probably emphasized in their
devoted souls the knowledge that
“man does not live by bread
alone.” But there were other
discouragements for even the
bravest of souls. One early day
preacher, Dr. Winship, before
coming to O’Neill to do battle
with the cohorts of evil, had his
(life theatened down in old Cov
ington on the Missouri, a notor
* ious nest of iniquity, against
which the Rev. Mr. Winship
raised not a feeble voice. The
underworld sent a rough neck to
warn the preacher to let up and
drew a vicious looking knife to
emphasize his threats of violence.
But Dr. Winship was neither in
timidated nor injured and his
crusade bore fruit in the moral
rejuvination of one of the worst
hangouts along the muddy
Missouri.
The shadow of Samdel Gomp
ers has been thrown in the pic
ture. Organized labor’s greatest
friend, greatest leader and per
haps the most outstanding
champion of the common man
this country has yet produced
speaks from the grave, through
the National Physicians Commit
tee, organized to oppose govrrn
ment socializing the sick and
afflicted. From the now silent
tongue of Mr. Gompers comes
this word of warning, never more
timely than today: “Look over
all the world where you will and
see those governments where the
features of compulsory benovo
lence have been established and
you will find the initiative taken
(from the hearts of the people. . .
For a mess of pottage, under the
pretense of compulsory social in
suranee let us not voluntarily
sui render the lundamental prin
ciples of liberty and freedom, the
hope of the Republic of the l niied
States, the leader and teacher to
the world of the significance of
this great anthem chorus of
humanity—liberty.”
A railroad has won a damage
suit in Nebraska and will collect
$35,000—that’s news. ... A 99
year-old veteran will head the
remnants of the Grand Army that
marched up Pennsylvania avenue
in colorlul review in ’65. . . .John
C Gallagher has applied to the
state pardon board for release
from prison, after serving a little
less than a year of a one to
twenty year sentence for short
ages during his twenty years as
county clerk of Holt county. . . .
Lincoln lost its bond building pro
gram but a suburban college w.ll
build a new $70,000 music hall,
the fourth new building for that
institution in recent years. . . .
It is rumored that a number of
Holt county’s enterprising citizens
are about to make the plunge that
evenutally may make air planes
as plentiful as Fords are now. . .
The first thought of soldiers and
sailors is of mother upon landing
at a home port after weary
months out where it was kill or
be killed. O’Neill mothers are
almost daily receiving telephone
calls from their boys who have
come in on a transport ship. . . .
Maybe indicating what is on the
way, a neighboring town reports
a visit from that picturesque
homogeneous commonly known
as a hobo—in quest of a handout.

Outsider Points
to Some Needs
This may be regarded as
crackpot, wholly ifc-respon
sible, not worth the paper
it is printed on, emulat
ing from the filmy apparitions
Morpheus throws across night's
darkened dome. It may land the
author—if discovered—in jail
or the asylum, but he should be
spared the hangman's noose.
What does O’Neill need?
Please permit an outsider to
point a finger.
And not altogether an outsider.
Every citizen of the county
comes to town. Many from
abroad.
Well, one lands at the North
western depot in the dead of night
or early morning Maybe its a
lady with luggage and a child
and has to hoof it up town. By
any stretch of municipal imagin
ation is the jungle from there to
Everett a street?
Many residential sidewalks are
little short of a disgrace to any
community. There are still a
few pedestrians.
Another. A place up town for
those in froml the country to drop
in and rest. The wet spots wel
come them, but everybody isn’t
wet—more than two-thirds of U.
S. citizens are dry, Nebraska av
erage a little higher.
More restaurants or more help
in the restaurants, or maybe
more home cooking. Thirty min
utes is too long to wait for a
sandwich to come toward you.
City mail delivery with mail
boxes placed about town where
outgoing mail can be dropped.
A cheering- word and prompt
payment for the boy who brings
your morning paper.
S. Sgt. Victor Bredehocft,
Shared In Development
New VT Radio Fuze
Omaha, Nebr.—It was revealed
today by Capt. F. G. Arkoosh,
Officer in charge, Omaha Regional
Office off the St. Louis Ordnance
District, that Staff Sgt. Victor N.
Bredehoeft, Route 1, O’Neill,
Nebraska shared in the develop
ment of the VT radio while work
ing in Ordnance laboratories and
experimental stations in the
United States.
In additidn to their work on
the fuse in this country, many
service men followed the project
overseas to various theaters of
war where they served on Ord
inance field teams instructing the
combat troops in use of the new
fuze.
Artillery projectiles fitted with
the pint-sized fuze, which causes
the projectile to explode when it
reaches within seventy feet of its
target, were instrumental in
halting Von Rundstedt’s offensive
in Belgium last December.
Before being sent to the fight
ing fronts, the fuze underwent
extensive tests. It was demon
strated that one out of every two
VT-fuzed rockets, fired from a
fighter airplane, could be counted
upon to bring down an enemy
plane at 1000 yard range.
According to observers, the
fuze vastly multiplied the lethal
effect of interdictory and harra s
ing fire. By the unprecedented
effectiveness of unseen fire at all
hours of the day and night, the
enemy had been kept severely
upset.
The Ordnance Department was
charged with the responsibility
of supplying the Army with the
new fuze and specially organized
detachments of technically quali
fied officers and men who had
worked on the fuze in develop
ment laboratories accompanied
the shipments of the fuzes to
theaters of operations all over the
world to indoctrinate the artillery
personnel to the peculiarities of
it. Nearly 200 of these newly
trained VT specialists went to
Euorope and the Pacific.
The War Department has de
scribed the development o(f the
VT fuze as secondary in import
ance only to the automic bomb.
Mr. and Mrs. M. H. Bakkem,
of Los Angeles, Cal., are visiting

Successful Calf
Show and Sale
Over 1000 people attended the
1945 Holt county Calf Show and
Sale sponsored by the O'Neill
Commercial Club.
Grand Champion stocker and
feeder calf was a Hereford steer
shown by John O’Neill, of O'Neill.
John is a member of the Eagle
Creek 4-H Club. The Reserve

Bill is a member of the Green
Valley 4-H Club. The grand
champion weighed 460 pounds
and brought 30c per pound. The
reserve champion Angus heifer
sold for 28c and weighed 450
pounds. Both the champion and
reserve champion were bought by
George Vlach, of Cotesfield, Nebt.,
to be fed for 4-H baby beeves.
K. C. Fouts, Seward County
Agent, judged the show, with W.
W. Derrick, Extension Animal
Husbandryman from the Agricul
tural College, judging the show
manship contest. The winners

test there were several very high
quality calves, any of which
would make excellent 4-H club

but in general the ouaiity was
much improved. There were
1007 head of cattle sold at the

well. However, more calves
could have been sold at a good
orice if they had been consigned.
High commercial groups of steer
calves sold were consigned by
Walt Puekett, df Emmet, and sold
for $14.35.
One calf went to Iowa, two to
South Dakota and Nebraska
