PLAN TO EXPAND
CITY'S SEWAGE,
WATER SYSTEMS
43 Blocks to Be Affected
by Proposal of City’s
Planning Board
ENGINEER ARRIVES
Approximately 43 blocks will
be affected if a preliminary ex
pansion proposal for the sewage
and water systems is officially
adopted by the city council.
The planning board, recently ap
pointed by Mayor F. J.. Dishner,
has been studying the city’s pres
ent and future utility require
ments. Members of the board are
Dr. O. W. French, chairman; C.
E. Lundgren, who is president of
the Chamber of Commerce; R. E.
Armbruster, E. M. Gallagher, M.
J. Golden, C. J. Gatz, W. J. Big
lin, W. T. Spelts, and Clark Will
son.
Meanwhile, the city, council has
appointed Donald Price, of Lin
coln, as city engineer. He arrived
here late Wednesday to confer
with the city officials and plan
ning board members in regard to
the sewage and water expansion
plans. He will also supervise, the
current well drilling operations,
which are in progress two miles
south of the city on highway 281.
The inadequacies of the city s
water system have been obvious in
recent weeks, officials said., when
the pumps have been operating at
capacity for 24 hours a day, fre
quently without any reserve in the
standpipe. Water pressure in some
sections of the city becomes too low
for some domestic purposes. A
state law requires that a plan
ning board be established in each
city.

WHAT TO DO —
If Polio Breaks Out
If infantile paralysis (poliomyelitis) breaks out in this commun
ity, follow these suggestions: <
AVOID NEW CONTACTS. Try not to mingle with crowds
unnecessarily. (Schools and other gathering places, however, may
remain open). »
WATCH THESE SYMPTOMS. Headache, unexplained fever, a.
cold, even upset stomach may be the first symptoms of infantile
paralysis.
CALL YOUR DOCTOR immediately if any of these symptoms
appear. Expert medical care may help prevent crippling.
REMEMBER. Carry on your normal activities. Infantile
paralysis cannot be prevented but few of those stricken develop
serious illness and, with good care, the majority will make a satis
factory recovery.
DON’T WORRY ABOUT EXPENSES. If polio strikes, get in
touch with the Chapter of the National Foundation for Infantile
Paralysis close to your home.
Quick action often prevents crippling: June through
September is the danger period when these simple rules
should be followed.
DON’T GET OVERTIRED. Extreme fatigue makes you an
easier victim.
AVOID CHILLING. Don’t stay too long in cold water.
KEEP CLEAN. Wash hands before eating. Keep flies and
other insects away from food.
HELP keep your community clean. Waste and exposed gar
bage may be sources of infection.
DON’T swim in polluted waters.
AVOID removal of tonsils or adenoids prior to and during
polio epidemic season.

HOLT NEEDS 52
RURAL TEACHERS
Shortage Threatens t c
Close Many Schools;
165 Ready
A critical shortage of rural
school teachers may force many
schools to close down during the
next term. Miss El.ia McCullough,
county swmrintendent of schools,
disclosed W«dnesdav. She reports
that approximately 52 out of Holt
county’s 190 “live” districts have
not yet signed teachers for the
1940-’47 term.
Miss McCullough said that “con
solidation of districts would not
solve the problem” because of the
distances involved in transporting
children to school. The shortages,
she says, are generally in “out
lying” districts.
The teacher shortage is not
unique to Holt county, but is a
general condition existing through
out the state and nation. Adjoin
ing Knox county, considerably
smaller than Holt, recently report
ed a shortage of 85 rural teachers.
Many .-‘■ricts have been “de
populated” in recent years, Miss
McCullough continued, but the
need for teachers continues to
exist.
Meanwhile, Miss Lulu Way,
head of Wayne State Teachers’ col
lege training school, Monday
opened a three-hour course in
methods of teaching elementary
science at the public school here in
cooperation with the county super
intendent’s office. Thirty-three
rural teachers registered from
Holt, Knox and Antelope counties.
The teacher-students receive col
lege credit on this work.
A special examination for tem
porary teaching certificates will be
conducted here Tuesday. The ex
amination applies to specific posi
tions for which the applicant is
applying, Miss McCullough said.

sewing machine which she used
in the shirt-making was one of
a fewr items saved when the
Townsend home was destroyed
by a prairie fire. It is a family
possession still.

Epic Might of‘Irish Lassie,’ Told by Colliers, Lauds Emmet
Airman, Who Is Back on Farm with 3 Ex-Service Brothers
EMMET—Ex-Lt. Leonard C.
Fox, the copilot of the famed
Irish Lassie, a B-29 bomber
that went through everything
the Japs could dish out on a
bombing mission over Tokyo,
has swapped the Superfort’s
controls for those of a hay
sweep on the haycrew of his
father, Charles Fox- The story
of the epic flight of the B-29,
entitled “The Irish Lassie Gets
Home,” appeared in the July
6 issue of Collier’s magazine.
Leonard’s three ex-service
men brothers are also back on
the farm. Wayne was a staff
sergeant in the European the
ater and was helping corral 30,
000 Jerries in a pocket at Lor
ient, on the Biscayan coast of
France, at the time of Brother
Leonard’s heroics over Japan;
Gilbert, a quartermaster third
class i n the Navy, was on a
tanker refuelling the Third
fleet off the Marshall Islands;
and Charles hadn’t gone to. war
yet, but he has since seen ser
vice in the Navy as a seaman
first-class.
There are two newcomers
on the Fox haycrew this year.
They are Mr. and Mrs. Char
les Fox’s twins,Larry and Ly
le, 10-year-old future farmers.
who can drive tractors as
well as the others. But then
that’s another story.
The Collier’s story is reprint
ed with special permission:
Edited by Frederick R. Neely
Superfortress Irish Lassie
wheels in toward the coast of
Japan at 2 o’clock on the af
ternoon of January 27, 1945,
at 29,000 feet. The air over
Japan is bright and freezing
Back at her base at Saip.n
ip the tropics, the day is hot.
Below, a winter snow lies ov
er Tokyo’s streets.
Irish L; ssie’s crew is warm;
they’re flying pressurized ov
er the target today and their
oxygen masks hang down lo
osely to the left of their jaws.
It is their eighth mission to
Japan, and though other B
29s from the 73d Wing have
been flying to Tokyo from
Saipan for over two months.
In the blisters, in the tail,
in the turrets, gunners squint
anxiously through their Plex
iglas, searching their arcs of
sky. Someone shouts: “There
they are—at 3 o’clock, high—
God! About forty of ’em!”
Over the coast line now, the
fight begins. Forty enemy
fighters pile into this first
flight of 12 B-29s,from above, in
front, the sides, from the tail.
Central Fire Control Gunner
Jim McHugh swings his upper
turret, lets fly with his four
fifties at the attackers from 12
o clock. One Tojo plunges
through. McHugh’s tracers
riddle him, but still he doesn’t
stop. At 400 miles per hour he
plummets in at the Superfort
and crash! In a suicide dive
the Tojo rams the Irish Lassie,
smashing into the left wing,
tearing out great hunks of the
No. 1 engine nacelle and shear
ing off half the left aileron
and flap. Her giant metal
frame shudders, then recov
ers and heads on into her
bombing run- The Tojo, spin
ning down out of control,
blows up at 25,000 feet.
Despite the impact of the
crash dive and the scores of
hard-pressed fighter attacks,
Bombardier Gage never budges
from his sights. Delicately he
twists the knobs, concentra
tes on the cross-hairs, whis
pers steadily into his throat
microphone. Deliberately his
hand reache? out, closes over
a toggle switch. “Bombs a
way! Bomb bay doors closed!
Free to turn and for God’s
sake turn fast!’’ Twelve 500
pound bombs arch and tum
ble on their way down to the i
Musashino Aircraft Engine |
Plant, Tokyo.
Gage jumps back to his j
guns, blasts the canopy off an ;
attacking Zeke, killing the pi- ;
lot. Amidships, McHugh
throws his four fifties onto
another Zeke, attacking from
from above, and shatters him.
Alone and isolated in the t il
sits Charlie Mulligan. He’s |
been having a busy time back j
there, fighting off the attack
ers. Already Mulligan has
chalked up three certain kills
since 2 o’clock Now it is 2:20.
The Nips still come diving
drunkenly in at Mulligan,
plunging through his fire to
within a few feet and then pull
ing wildly away. Right above
him now one persistent devil
flies. The Jap turns in for an
other attack; at 30 yards Mul
ligan lets fly with everything.
The Jap never stops—but
tears smack into the tail in a
a full power dive, smashing
his plane to pieces on the gi
tmt fin. He almost takes Irish
Lassie with him. His suicide
dive tears off the entire loft
stabalizer, the whole left side
of the taul compartment.
Up front in the pilot’s se, t,
Avery feels the nose drop away
violently and every man in
the plane feels the terrible im
pact of this second ramming
in less than half an hour. The
B-29 falls off into a screaming
dive. Avery pulls back hard
on the control column and
kicks the rudders. Nothing
happens; the plane persists in
her dive. Copilot Fox is on the
controls too. He thinks he’s
just helping Avery out, with
his extra strength, but it turns
out he is (actually flying the
piano alone- There is just one
thin strand of cable left to the
elevators and that belongs to
Fox.
The B-29 continues to dive for
9.000 feet. Nobody expects to
get out alive. Fox, using every
ounce of strength, manages to
level the ship out at around
20.000 feet and it is a miracle
that their meager control c ble
doesn’t snap.
The 20 Jap vultures now
close ini for the kill on the hap
less cripple. But the blister
gunners are still on the job.
When it is all over, Irish Las
sie’s total kill is 13 Jap fighters.
Off the coast, Avery lets down
td 17.000 feet and depressurizes
the cabin. Mulligan can’t be
be raised over the interphone,
so Leach and Meyer make their
way aft to see if he is in trouh
le. Mulligan is—in the worst
possible trouble. Bleeding and
unconscious, his head between
his kneos, Mulligan lies crouch
ed in the wrecked til section.
Twisted metal, broken guns,
smashed equipment and splint
tered glass are piled on top of
him.
Working in shifts and with
additional help from Gage and
McHugh, Leach and Meyer ex
tricate Mulligan and drag him
inch by inch back towards the
radar room- The temperature is
subzero, the gale terrific, with
the full draft and slip stream
of the engines pounding direct
ly in upon them.
The pilots iaTe having their
troubles. They have 1,500 miles
to fly over ocean in a wrecked
plane with scarcely more than
a strand of cable to control it
In addition to their tail gunner
being seriously wounded, their
radar man, Kiimczak, is badly
shot up. In the Hidar compart
ments, Navigator Faubiom and
and Radio Operator Nellums
are giving him first aid. He has
been shot through the leg, back
and arm, and he’s bleeding pro
fusely. They give him morphine
l nd plasma, strip off his clothes
and sprinkle his wounds with
sulfa. They feed him full of
rich oxygen and wrap him in
blankets.
Then they go to work on
Mulligan. Due to the extreme
cold in the exposed tail where
the unconscious gunner lies, all
his clothes have frozen. His
hand has been shot through and
and he is covered with deep
gashes from the splintering
glass and metal. They dress

Part of $4,000,000 Plan
to Expand State’s
Power Networks
TO REBUILD LINES
The $4,000,000 expansion pro
gram planned by Nebraska’s pub
lic power districts will include a
$100,000 substation plant at
O’Neill as well as the building
and rebuilding of transmission
lines typing into the electric fa
calities here.
The details of the huge program

the; expansion plans.
In addition to the new substa
tion here, Consumers will spend an
additional $200,000 for substation
facilities at undisclosed points be
tween O’Neill and Belden, which
are already strategic points in the
i system. The O’Neill to Belden
i line will be rebuilt at a cost of
$80,000, enabling operation at G9,
000 volts.
A new 115,000-volt transmission
line will be built from Norfolk to
O’Neill, by way of Neligh, at an
