CELtA—The Celia Home
makers met February 25 at
Mrs. Victor Frickel’s home.
The club voted to "adopt” a
shut-in. The adoption of a
"shut-in” is a new idea which
the Celia Homemakers are
hoping will spread to other
project clubs in Holt county.
A worthy "shut-in” is se
lected and is "adopted” by the
club for a year. During that
year the honoree is remem
bered with cards, and a birth
day anniversary gift.
Mrs. Conrad Frickel told of
the meeting in O’Neill when a
homemaker was selected to be
sent to Omaha. She remark
ed that the Riverside 4-H club
Schottischers, who entertain
ed, did “unusually well.”
They were the small folk
whose pictures were recently
on the front page of The
Frontier.
Mrs. Connie Frickel and
Mrs. Frank Kilmurry gave the
lesson on, “Importance of
Breakfasts in the Home.”
After the lesson, the club
held a Valentine gift box, and
ignored the fact that Valen
tine’s Day was past. A grab
bag of gifts was also exchang
ed.

LINCOLN — Lodge, bridge
party, night club, ball room,
movie, society session, organi
zational activities, “back to
work"—how about an evening
at home?
Does the fireside hold no
charm? Has the rose bloom of
earlier years faded to gray
mists? Has the one with a
“face of lily - beauty” and
“form of airy grace” that once
held you enthralled permitted
herself to become a drab
household drudge? Has that
handsome young gallant of the
long ago who fell in helpless
thralldom “beneath the
glances of a pair of azure
eyes as glowing as the sum
mer and as tender as the
skies” become a fat old guy
that gives you a grunt if spo
ken to in the home?
The bird of paradise has
not flown forever from your
door and the nightengale
will sing again. Beneath the
rubbish of indifference lies
silent loyalty. Then some
thing ignites the flame and
romance blooms again. The
attractions of things outside
the home grow strangely
dim.

An Omaha woman is re

The ancients wasted no time
in judicial proceedings with an
offender. Off came his head.
Criminals, those suspected of
crime, depraved characters
that have sounded the depths
of hell itself have about 99
chances in 100 that they get
nothing worse than a prison
term. An 11 - year - old kid
started on a career of crime,
robbing homes and setting
fires in a spirit of revenge
when he found himself in a
home where no money was ly
ing loose. The presiding judge
at the bar of legal dispensa
tions will have some problem
in such a case. It was no
problem to the Medes and
Persians — take off his head
and hang him up by the heels.

It is reliably or unreliably
reported that Albert Einstein
is to lend the influence of his
scientific personality to the

having a reserved seat on the

gether the intellectuals and
the crackpots to whoop it up
for a gent with a sugar-coated
lingo.

Joe Leedom out at Gordon
gives up. He has asked that
his name be withdrawn as a
candidate for the legislature
in the 40th district, explaining
he’s got too much to do in
Gordon to bother with play
things. Leedom is a familiar
name among the newspaper
gentry of north-Nebraska, and
they suspect something worth
while is on in Gordon for him
to determine to stay at home.

The crackpots are on hand
with their fabled doses for the
