TALK By ROMAINE SAUNDERS LINCOLN — And now the 329 traffic deaths in Nebraska in 1947 is tabulated as “econ omic loss.” There is that in the man gled remains of a highway iradgedy that transcends mere material things. Deso lated homes, a surviving wife or mother grief-over whelmed. little children left to look out upon an unfriend ly world alone, a father and mother bowed under a bur den of sorrow, conscious that the cherished hopes and plans must lie forever bur ied with their son who met the grim reaper along the road. Economic loss indeed! What are the millions in money beside the heartaches and tear-dimmed eyea, the crushing load of grief caused by a highway crash. The little old man wears a white cap and an apron. Stiff of joints and an evident limp he gets around with dishes and the hardware of a 10th street cafe where he of iciates as dishwasher. He might go and sit in the uncertain warm pth of a cheerless room of a gloomy building facing a gloomy street and draw what ever stipend the assistance of fice is handing out. I go to the cafe on occasion for two reasons — one is to see this oldtimer who p efers making his way even at the job of dish washing rather than to accept an assistance check. And then five a day and meals is not to be ignored. * • • In a prison cell in Walla Walla, Wash., fils a man of 45 awaiting the hangman's noose to swing him to his doom January 16, This man coolly told of murders com mitted in other states, some of his victims c tisens of O maha. In one instance an innocent person has served a number of years of a Ufa sentence in Iowa for a mur der this self-confessed mon ster committed. The Inno cent one goes free, but the state owes him something more than freedom of fresh air in the open. Another state will take its toll of blocd for crimes within its borders. Admittedly the hands of the villain were stained with the lifeblood of a dos*n vic’ims. He has but one lfe to give to attone for his trail of killings. • • • I have just read eight bea utiful rules laid down as guides to raising children. And now reflecting on the beautiful home life and highly success ful careers of seven sons and daughters of my own I sense the failure of the parental home — according to the Ph. D. who has contrived this set of rules. • • • Arizona authorities have In custody a 23-year-old gent who admits having been mar ried eight tim/es, mostly ille gally. He should be qualified for captain of the heart-break ers. SAGESER - ROBERTSON • SHAFFER 5TH ANNUAL SALE REGISTERED HEREFORD BULLS at the ATKINSON LIVESTOCK MARKET Atkinson, Nebr.

A smart, able man like the president of the Standard Oil of Ohio advocates a united world government or human ity is sunk. His is one more voice amid the confusion of tongues. The one world idea is American, not in the sense that it is born of American ideals and traditions. By one world they mean the embrac ing of the notions of certain Ame.icans. There are some thing like 1,000 languages to deal with, about as many re ligions, and countless systems of tribal and national govern ments. Turks and Arabs, Curds and Moores, Pe.sians and Indians, Mongolians and Malays, Egyptian and Ethiop ian, conglomerate mass throughout Europe, the un yielding Muscovite. restless Latins occupying half of the Americas, island dwellers of the seven seas and the great continent of Australia. I am still an isolationist. February 12 has been max* ked up on the calendar in the capitol city for a new thing in memory of Abe Lincoln's birthday, when generous, warm-hearted c tizens w 11 attempt to get a mile long train load of food stuff going toward the Atlantic seaboard for shipment to Europe. Our re:ent “friendship" consign ment reems to have proved a thorn in the <lesh of red leaders but a few hundred folks got a good feed out of it and will be glad to learn another supply from Nebr aska's store is on the way. • • • Dust bowl conditions will re turn if “cheap republican phil osophy” p.evails; “the father of inflation” is ascribed to spectacular Sen. Wherry; Gov. Peterson has broken the backs of taxpayers; republicans are out to “wreck fa mers”; Wall street, that old standby, coup led with “big business,” is the republican guiding star. But don’t take it all to heart. These aie merely the cry of despair of office-anxious democrats of the state who have adopted the Molotov style for their opening blast of 1948. • • • Congress graced Capitol Hill not long ago to sit in extra ordinary session and devise means to deflate the Shylocks of the land. Nothing noticable has come over the price situ ation during the intervening space between the special and regular now in solem session at the nation’s capital, I don’t know much about such things, but find many t mes I am do ing better in pocket and per son on a 20-cent sandwich than had I got a dollar meal. * 9 • A hungery gent snatched the purse of a woman to reap a reward of $34.50 and a three year stretch behind gray walls just outside of Lincoln. The Pendergast crowd of Missouri and the Huey Long political ring of a Gulf stat» plundered to the tune of mill:ons. One got a .45 slug thrown into him, others a year or two in cus tody of a warden and a few elected to office. • • • Baseball, football, basket ball, and now the snowballs are to dodge. • • • Sixty-two of the 93 counties have 4-H club girls and boys who are receiving awards in the shape of medals, having been accounted champions in their respective counties in meat animal club work. The awa’d in Holt county goes to Fred Mitchell and in Boyd to Janv's Sire. Joan Shaw wins in Rock countv and Delores Henn in Antelope. Nebraska democrats have made up the slate for the bal lot to elect delegates to the national convention. Former democrat st ongholds of north Nebraska like Holt county is not alloted a candidate for the honor. Mr. Ritchie’s attention is called to a fatal omission in overlooking a stalwart at O' Neill like Billy Biglin. * • • Not prenared for war, may be not. We were a long wav from being prepared six years ago, but “we met the enemy and they are ours.” • • • You may read iust about ev erything avai'able on the magazine stands wlthoot run ning across an idea. • • • Town property owners spent thei1’ money for concrete side walks to be buried under slush and mud and ice. omi AUTO REBUIIDERS 5 Blocks North of Bus Depot SPECIALIZING IN BODY & FENDER if Repairing if Repainting LINDQUIST & SONS PHONE 133 January Clearance Inventory is coming I New spring good? are coming in daily.
