LXV * O’NEILL, NEBRASKA, THURSDAY, APRIL 18,1946 NO. 49 SMALL DOSES PAST AND PRESENT By Romaine Saunders And now an organization that would clip Uncle Sam’s goatee. Inspired by the barbers’ union? The latest economical mystery Y —reducing the size of a loaf and no limit on the number of leaves. Bake your own. With the flavor of barnyard still fresh with him the Professor remarked in class: “What we need is to use horse sense and become stable in our thinking.” Another spot becomes a nation al shrine. It may well'be spoken of as a partisan shrine. The one whose memory is thus design ed to perpetuate was perhaps the greatest idolized as well our most cordially hoted national figures Mr. Truman declares himself a full-grown New Dealer after one year in the seductive environs of the White House. But his remark to the effect that a naval officer should keep his mauith shut re specting anything he says arouses the wrath of some Nebraska sailor boys who think he should be impeached. The twentieth century has braujght no change in the style of men’s trousers. Until the gey nineties had passed from the pic ture of human follies it was hu ture of human follies is was hu milioting for a gent to be caught in a pair of “hand-me-down” pants without those present popu lar stiff lines down front and back hoving been pressed out. Congress will lose a colorful figure in the retirement at the end of her term by Clare Booth Luce of Connecticut. There is a promise that the brilliant flashes from that section of Con necticut’s corner in Congress may still illuminate the gloomy re cesses if Mrs. Suzanne Silver - cruys Stevenson, author, artist, sculptor, and ropublican succeeds Mrs. Luce. Other states to s.nd women to Congress are Georgia, California, llinois, Ohio, New Jersey, Massachusetts and Maine. West of tha Mississippi, Congress for the most part is a man’s affair. Scientists startle the world— the world is evermore to be start led—by announcing that on Jan uary 24, the labors and studies of a decade were brought to fruition in a brief 2Vfe seconds when the radar beam struck the man in the moon square on the solar plexus and echoed back to earth. A total distance of 477, 714 miles while you bat an eye. Now if science will come forward with some process to pick us up and set us down where we need to go without having to hoof it several blocks o.qr good sturdy legs will be of little use. Rejuvenating the fagged out fogey wi h glands was considered more or less “monkey business” by the medics and seems to have been 1 id cn the shelf with other faded dreams of the fountain of youth. But hope spring, etf{mal in the human brear> and upon the authority of medical science and the eperiance of a hardy race, the hoary head, th” wrink led face, the pitiful make-up to hide the ravages of ■ ime an I habit may be postponed a few more fleeting years. The dirt of the tough old Bulgarians is so ne sort of a ooncoction from sour milk called yogurt and both men and women retain youthful vigor well past four score yeors. May be life’s battles here in Yankee land are not worth the experi ment. Plans For The New Hospital Accepted The O’Neill Hospital Commit tee, headed by Chairman Wm. J.
