— The Frontier LXVI O’NEILL, NEBRASKA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1945 NO. 29 SMALL DOSES PAST AND PRESENT By Romaine Saunders Rt. 5, Atkinson To make them appear still m;;re life-like, maybe the etnbalmers will next be inserting a synthetic cigarette between clased lips. The noble Red Man had some such custom when they consigned the braves to the h-ppy hunting ground. / - . u The football season is about ^ over and the next thing in sports will keep the ball rolling to a continual round of rough and tumble pleasure, which makes healthy and active kids. And what faces the kids they will have to be both two-fisted and mentally equipped. An old but much neglected volumne has the remedy, the answer. Big bosses, labor, listen: “Masters, give unto your servants that which is just and equal. Ser vants, obey in all things your masters.Not with eye ser vice (an eye upon the clock) but in singleness of heart fearing God.” Ralph Leidy is the “early bird" around town. The moon hangs low in the west, the morn ing star glows in the east and Ralph is abroad to assimilate nature’s early day charms, the inspiring vigor of the morning air. But he explains that it is his in terest in the stack of cakes when he sits at the breakfast table that induces him to get out for the exercise that brings large capacity to eat. The prairieland is brown, is beautiful in the somber robes of autumn heading now into the pathway of elements fresh from the artic circle. And the long evenings when youth may enjoy life’s elemental pleasures, when stalwart citizens lay aside an other day’s burden, when age sits by the firelight and muses over cherished memories and smiles a^ the old faces again float in fancy out of the visions of the past. The C. I. O. is spending a lot of money circularizing the papers of the country with propaganda. And occasionally along comes to the editorial desk a document pertaining to the behorned cap italistic side. As to volume of “Facts and Figures” the C. I. O. boys are turning out such a grist as to create suspicion that they are getting a bit worried. Out this way it seems they are de finitely in public disfavor, justly or unjustly, and as opinions are often formed without full infor mation it could be either. The early morning November sky, set with gold on a field of dark blue, invites you from the dull and drowsy hours of slumber. Far out in the southwest heavens constellations of glittering stars hang on the edge of eternity and look upon the dark world. It is an hour when fancy may take a flight out there to the vast uni verse, laying back the veil of a scene unspoiled, untouched by man—out there in the depths of eternity where are bound the sweet influences of the Plei des, where Arcturus and her sons traverse the fathomless reaches of space. “I’m forever Mowing bubbles, # Pretty bubbles in tne air' They fly so high They touch the sky And who knows when the surley bands of earth are broken if a > gentle hand will lead us with the loved and lost across the burn ished avenues of the Milky Way to celestial gardens where we may sip the nectar distilled by angel hands from the fruits of the tree of life? Don’t let November slip into ble k December without a few minutes spent with the stars. In 1621, a raw November day, a sailing vessel cast anchor off the “stern and rock bound coast’’ of what we now call Massachu setts. The ship was loaded with provisions and turned what promised to be a bread riot into a feast. From thence stems Thanksgiving. It is an American institution, though if you please to go back into antiquity credit must be given to the Hebrews for this as well as many other cher ished traditions. And et this special season even the champion of all the year’s hard luck can see a glimmer for which to be thank ful. George Washington set the occasion for the last Thursday in November. In these latter days have arisen those who seem to say, “Behold, a greater than Ge orge is here." A change of the day may dim the historical signi ficance. It need not curdle the warm flow of human gratitude nor make the human contacts the less endearing. Thankful for the bounties of! life, for neighbors, for BRIEFLY STATED Owen McPh *land received discharge from army service, he and his mother departed Tuesday to join others of the family in Wisconsin. Mr. and Mrs. T. W. Knoell and Mr. and Mrs. Lyle Eppcnb ch were visitors at the T. J. Knoell home Friday afternoon. Injuries sust ined in a fall last Wednesday rendered it necessary to take M. F. Kirwan to Omaha last Friday for hospital care. R. H. Shriner drove to Sioux City and return Sunday, accom panied home by Mrs. Shriner, who had been ir> the town on the Missouri the week past. School children have begurt the annual sale of Christmas stamps, so another avenue is open to spend a dime or a dollar with a smile and incidently give the boys and girls a lift. Five army ambulances from Ft. Crook, the Red Cross brands iden tifying them as things to com mand respect, tarried in town Saturday evening enroute to Rapid City, S. D. A group of ladies surprised Mrs. L. G. Gillespie Saturday after noon when they went to her home on First street for a social gath ering. The afternoon was em ployed in a neighborly fashion and at five o’clock ice, cream, cake and coffee was served. Henry Dobrovolney and Land lord Gage of the Stockmen hotel of Atkinson stopped in town for lunch a day last week on their way to Sioux City where they were taking the six year old daughter of Mr. Dobrovolney for medical treatment. Dr. and Mrs. Guttrey of Lynch, were in the city Monday in search of a certain style miiror. And one of our enterprising “second hand’’ dealers had it, so the Guttrey’s returned to Lynch, with the thing they came after. If you can’t find it in O’Neill try Chicago. The night air was rent by the screach of the fire alarm, dogs adding to the call to action by terrifying howls, and the fire boys hastened to the home of Harry Sullivan in the southeast part of town. A smoking oil burner was the reason for summoning the department, the mayor reported, and no material damage resulted. Law enforcement officers of this area gathered in conclave at Bassett on Tuesday to compare notes, exchange views and ex periences and suggestions to add ! to the efficiency of methods of dealing with the lawless and in nocently hilarious. Sheriff Hub bard and Day Patrolman Peter sen were in attendance from O’Neill. It is said that four of tha city’s prominent nimrods were picked thirty apiece over across the border for their shortcomings as standardized by South Dakota game laws. Now the gents over that way are advised to take warning not to cross into Ne braska again with 1942 license plates for passport on the high ways or they may run afoul Ne braska road laws in retaliation. Maj. D. B. Courtright arrived in the city Friday to join Mrs. Courtright who has been here while her husband served in the army in the Pacific area. He has been discharged from the army since the ending of hostilit ies make release from military service possible Mrs. Ccui tright is a sister of Mrs. Neil Ryan, at whose home they were guests. The Major and Mrs. Courtright departed Tuesday for Sioux City. A 1926 model t—the small “T” is used advisedly—from Norfolk, the property of Mr. and Mrs. Hamelon who were aboard the car, was an interesting thing to look at in town Monday, interest ing because its well preserved status created the wonder if Henry Ford had gone to putting “the Universal car” out again. Mr. Hamelon declared the little lizzie is just as good as it looks and runs like a new one. They were on their way to Boyd county, where they formerly lived. Mrs. Hame lon is a daughter of the late Peter Lansworth. A number of young people and the church officers of the Presby teri n church went to Atkinson Sunday afternoon to help in the youth rally movement and offi cers’ instruction for the western section of the district, comprising several north Nebraska counties. A similar gathering was held last week at Wayne for the eastern end of the district. Fi'fty-five young people of this area were in attendance at the Atkinson meet ing and thirty-five church officers, it being a meeting for both young people and church officers. Rev. Hal Schenck of Madison led the meeting for the former and Rev. Oliver Proett of Wayne conduct ed the studies for the latter. Those attending from here felt it was a profitable gathering. the sacred family ties, for the vexations and worrits along the way from w-hich have emerged stronger men and women.

Graham of the charge of man slaughter, closing the first jury case in the district court now in session in O’Neill.

Other matters in district court brought to termination was judg ment for plaintiff Lloyd E. Evans who brought suit against Jake W. Braun on a herd bill. Judg ment was entered in the sum of $292 and court costs. The defend ant, it was alleged, had given plaintiff a check to cover the herd bill and then stopped payment on the check.

John Sullivan of O’Neill, who was employed at the Ordnance plant up to the close of tht war, said he had not joined in the suit but is of the opinion that it in- j eludes all workers and if over- J time pay under this action is aw; rded one group it will prob ably be awarded to all. A start has been made on the west side of Fourth street south of Everett. Tires, wheels, ma chinery, tools, cables, humps and bumps were eliminated at least for a time and insured reason able safety to the pedestrian going that way..

They expect to go to Omaha Saturday, where they have a daughter living. Mr. and Mrs. Thompson were dormer residents of the north eastern section of Holt county. It is twelve ye .rs since they took up their abode in Oregon. Their home is in a lumber and dairy ing section which has partaken of the country-wide war time flushness. Mr. Thompson re newed acquaintenance with The Frontier force during their so journ here. He verifies the story in our 1 st issue as to the lumber situation, broadening its scope to apply to other products. There are millions of board feet of lumber which the millfc are holding and will hold until next January. The same reports come from the woolen mills and clothing factories o f the east. It is neither lack of goods nor labor strikes that accounts lor snort ages in the retail trade. The mill and f.dory owners claim it is to their profit to discontinue shipments on account of income : tax, an easing oj which is expect ed next year. A country wide protest, as it were, of big business against hamstringing methods emin ting from Washington. Mr. Thompson says that al though he is a farmer in Oregon as he was here he was induced, | or rather inducted as a lumber j jack three years ago because of the man power shortage when' the army absorbed the younger | men. Like many others who thought they were through in all lines of industry he made good at juggling lumber and logs and he and Mrs. Thompson have come back to see the folks after which they return to Oregon.
