POLIO DRIVE LAUNCHED
This is Marcia (above), a vic
tim of polio, who is now
on the long road back to health
at a children’s country home in
New Jersey, provided by the
March of Dimes funds of the
National Foundation for the
treatment and long-term care
of youngsters recupera t i ng
from infantile paralysis.
During 1946 the Holt county

treatment of three polio cases
in the county, all of whom re
ceived treatment similar to
Marcia.
The March of Dimes fund
raising campaign in Holt coun
ty began Wednesday and clos
es January 30, according to P.
J. O’Donnell, who is in charge
of the drive in the O’Neill com
munity. Miss Elja McCullough,

and Mrs. Cletus Sullivan, of O’
Neill, is the county chairman.

LINCOLN — The lofty ceil
ings and ornate walls of the
legislative chamber at the state
house resounded to the tramp
of feet, chatter and clatter of
milling multitudes last Thurs
day. Ceremonies were sched
uled for 1:30 p.m. to induct in
to oflice a full complement of
state officials, including three
justices of the supreme court.
Galleries and sidelines became
clogged with spectators. Sena
tors, officials, and semi-offi
cials filled the chamber, and by
2:15 a sharp rap on the desk—
where sat the lieutenant gover
nor — hushed the assembled
crowd.
NOTICE OF ANNUAL
TOWNSHIP MEETING
The annual township meeting
of the legal voteis of Grattan
township, Holt county, state of
Nebraska, will be held on Tues- t
day, January 21, 1947, in the li
brary at 2 o’clock p.m., for the
transaction of such business as
may lawfully come before said
meeting.
CARL LORENZ,
Township Clerk.
Posted this 16th day of Janu
ary, 1947.
Committees were named to
escort the various groups, up
on whom the mantle of official
dignity reposed, to the head
quarters of the chamber.
Senator Copeland of the 28th
district served on one of these
committees.
The seven members of the su
preme court in judicial robes
occupied a row of seats facing
the senate and Chief Justice
Simmons administered the oath
of office to the state officers.
U. S. Senator Hugh Butler
sat on a frontseat and occasion
ally got up to shake hands with
Nebraska friends. Mr. Gris
wold read his farewell address
and was followed by Mr. Peter
son, who read an exhaustive
message to the legislature cov
ering state interests from its
public institutions to soil con
servation without specific rec
ommendations.
I had a visit with Senator
Copeland, who occupies a
frontseat on the right. He is
putting up at the Lincoln. The
senator seems fortified in an
ticipation of the pressure
groups. He is interested in re
ducing taxes rather than add
ing to the citizens’ tax burdens.
Inaugural ceremonies, char- I
acteristic of Nebraska people,
were without fanfare, resplen
dent toggery, or needless show.
The massive bulk of Senator C.
Petrus Peterson, crow'ned with
an ample thatch of which hair,
strode up and down the aisle in j
calm assurance of the import- j
tnc" of a veteran in our legis- j
lative hall.
Official Nebraska is now off
to another start.

I have the very latest thing
in new railway passenger
“coaches” — and no railroad!
Through the generosity of Lee
Downey, of the Burlington lines
cut at Denver, combined with
Tom Baker’s thoughtfulness
down at the ranch near home,
I got a belated Christmas pack
age forwarded to me in Lincoln
where I am temporarily.
The gift is a shining passen
ger car in miniature of the Bur
lington’s new vistadome cars
soon to be put into service.
These coaches provide a glass
enclosed panorama room at the
top of the car.
Each of the Zephyrs will con
sist of 10 cars, built of stain
less steel, including luxury
coaches, coffeeshop and dining
cars, and Pullmans with private
room accommodations and
lounges. The six trains will
cost about eight and one-half
million dollars, not including
the diesel locomotives, officials \
said.
The westbound Zephyr will
leave Chicago in the afternoon,
reach Denver in the morning,
Salt Lake City the same night
and will arrive in California on
the following day.
These details I find in a
newspaper story enclosed with
the gift, for which I am indebt
ed to both Mr. Downey and Mr.
Baker.

The second application of
Llovd Hammond for parole will
be heard February 11. Admit
tedly implicated in the affair
that took the life of Fred J.
Sexsmith November 20, 1932,
and sentenced from Holt coun
ty to 25 years imprisonment,
Hammond continues to main
tain he had no part in the
shooting for which Frank
Mackey, of Niobrara, is serving
a life sentence.
