Selective Service Office Closing; Sent 1,510 Men Off to the Wars There were plenty of ex-GIs in these parts who at midnight on Monday night were ready to tear up the little white pieces of paper they have been carry ing for many months. The provocation for such a demonstration was simple: the selective service act, which hus tled 1,510 Holt county regis trants off to the wars in all cor ners of the globe, died a natural death. It officially expired at midnight on March 31. With the expiration of the act, the Holt county selective service office in the courthouse here is preparing to close. Plans for the liquidation of the offices provide for record de pots to be established in sever al states. These will be desig nated as the office of selective service records. All Holt records will be for warded April 30 to Lincoln and the office here will be closed completely, effective May 1, ae coiding to Mrs. Mabel McKen na, chief clerk. A total of 5,601 Holt men were registered since October 9, 1940, when the act went into effect. Inductions, however, were made from the first 3,928 registrations, and no inductions were m: de from the fourth— and last — registration, which numbered 1,673. A total of 1,510 registrants served in the forces and 1,157 have been separated. Three hundred and 53 registrants, both draftees and enlistees, re nrin in the service. Members of the original Holt county draft board were Dis trict Judge D. R. Mounts and Frank J. Biglin, both of O’Neill, and B. C. Engler, of Stuart. By special arrangement with Brig. Gen. Guy N. Henidnger, state selective service chief, the Holt board was expanded from three ; to six members. R. E. Moore, t O’Neill, joined January 19, "<42: D. C. Schaffer, of O’Neill, joined November 6. 1942, ai d on October 9, 1944, J. Q. Archer, of Ewing, became the sixth member. All were “active” until the act expired, Mrs. Mc Kenna said. All of the board members served without compensation end it was, for the most part, a thankless job. Mrs. McKenna served as chief clerk since October 17, 1940. During the intervening period she had a number of office as sistants. Forty registrants with the Holt board have been declared dead officially, but Mrs. Mc Kenna said that from 20 to 25 others are believed to have lost their live'; but official confirm ation has not yet been received through the selective service system.

County Agent A. Neil Dawes said that Holt county’s bid for trees “probably tops all other counties in the state.” Extension Forester Earl G. 'Maxwell, of the Univeisity ot Ne braska, has pointed out that the stock to be distributed this year is of high quality. Conditions for planting in Holt county are excellent, Mr. Dawes said, and he urges farmers and ranchers to plant the tiees as soon as they arrive. It will take about two weeks to complete the ship ping. At the same time, the Holt Sod Conservation district has orders for 70,000 seedlings on which shipmen is expected soon. Persons who receive trees are urged to remove the trees from the packages immediately and “heel” in the ground, covered with moist dirt.

A lack of progress at every lev- • el in negotiations between man agement and employees brings nearer the zero hour, which is scheduled for 6 a. m. Monday ac cording to the various time zones. Harry Peterson, manager of the Northwestern Bell Telephone company at O’Neill, said Wednes day that 17 operators and three linemen at the Northwestern ex change and toll center here are members of the National Federa tion of Telephone Workers. Governor Steps In At Lincoln, Gov. Val Peterson has attempted to enter the con i troversy in art effort to settle the 1 dispute between Nebraska’s two i major telephone companies and | their workers. He invited repre sentatives to meet at a conference in his office at 10 a. m. today. “My purpose,” the governor said, “is to protect the public.” Meanwhile, in Washington, D. C., another step in averting the ibikp was taken when the House banking committee approved a hill designed to give the govern ment power to head-off or stop a widespread telephone strike. On page four of this issue of 1 The Frontier, the Northwestern Bell company noints out in a paid "dverisement that “the union is demanding increases in wages of from $12 a week to as high as *35 a week which would result in an average increase of $17.10 a week.” Northwestern's manager here said that only one employees’ strike has ever been staged in O’Neill. In 1945 the operators walked-out for nearly four hours, but returned to their posts when the controversy was settled. NO FOOLIN’! SUN REALLY SHINES The weatherman wasn't fooling on Tuesday—April fool’s day. It was simply typical April weather and the sun shone brightly. Coming on the heels of a bleak March, during which the sun shone here on only eight days. Holt countvans welcomed April’s start on the right foot, The week's highest temperature was 65. reached at midday Mon day. Meanwhile, farmers in this re gion are proceeding where they can with “putting in” their small grain. The condition of the soil on most of the high ground is | ,‘drv moist” while in the lowlands water stands fn many places and the ground is “too wet” for Spring operations. Smut control problems are fac | ing many farmers. County Agent A. Neil Dawes said Wed nesday that the extension service ! was recommending Gerasan and Aerosan, where it is available, for combatting smut. The week’s weather summ ry, ; based on 24-hour periods ending at 8 a. m. daily, follovys: Hi Lo Moist.
