‘Campaigns' and ‘Elections’
Underway in Holt
High Schools
Campaigning for the “prim
ary election” in the American
Legion-sponsored boys’ and
girls’ county government pro
gram is getting underway this
wetx in Holt county, according
to Miss Elja McCullough, Holt
county superintendent of
schools, who is chairman of
the program in the county.
Glea H. Wade, ex-commander
of Simonson post, is vice
chairman.
Roy J. Lang, who is in
charge of the state program
working with the state de
partment of the American
Legion, will be here to help
direct the activities on Mon
day, January 24—the day
. when the "elected” officers
* will "function" in various
county offices.
Justice Carter, of Gering, of
the state supreme court, and
Mrs. John Davidson, of O’Neill,
district II American Legion la
dies'’ auxiliary president, will
assist Lang.
Purpose of the program is to
teach county government by
having the students participate
- in the steps taken by a can
didate tor an actual county
office. Members of the jimior
class of each high school in
the county will be selected to
come to O’Neill to study the
county government in opera
tion.
Based on the same plan as
the boys’ and girls’ state pro
jects, which have been oper
ated for several years by the
Nebraska American Legion,
this setup will be on a coun
ty basis rather than on a state ,
basis.
A maximum of 21 junior
class members from each high
school will be elected by the
entire student body of their
respective high schools to fill
the various county offices. Each
student elected to an office i
will spend a day at vhe court
house watching the county of- i
ficer who regularly fills that
office perform his duties.
Miss McCullough staled
that before students file
for the various offices and
begin their campaigns, they
are instructed in the duties
of each office so that they
will apply ior a particular
office because of their inter
est in the type of work, rath
er than the title that goes
with the office.
The student body has been
divided into two parties, the
Federal and the National, and
will vote accordingly.
After tilings for office have
taken place, said Miss McCul
lough, elections will be held
before January 24 to eliminate
all candidates except one from
each party.
There will be 10 elective of
fices and four appointi -e of
fices to be filled.
Students from various schools
who are selected in the
elections will be issued
certificates of election which
they will carry to the court
house slu ring their rigl't to
hold that office.
According t o ^formation
from the Nebrasl American
Legion, this is ar experiment |
which no other stale has yet
tried Although boys’ and girls’
state organizations are in op -
eration through the United
States. Nebraska is reported to
be the first state to attempt
such a set up < n the county
level. It is . ow hoped that the
ccunty got em nent project can
be carried through on a na
tion wide basis.

POLIO CAMPAIGN |
BEGINS FRIDAY
Mrs. Dorothy Kelly to
Head 1949 March of
Dimes in Holt
—
Mrs. Dorothy Kelly, of O’ j
Neill, widow of the late Fran
cis (“Fritz”) Kelly, is Holt
county chairman for the 1949
March of Dimes campaign in
behalf of the National Foun
dation for Infantile Paralysis.
The drive will begin Fri
day. A workers’ and officials’
meeting will be held at the M
& M cafe to launch the work.
Mrs. Thomas A. Green has
been appointed by Mrs. Kel
ly as O'Neill drive campaign.
Appointments in other com
munities have not been con
firmed because of delayed
mail and disrupted communi
cations.
Dr. R. G. Gustavson, chan
cellor of the University of Ne
| braska and state March of
Dimes chairman, has announc
ed the 1949 appeal will of
ficially open all over the na
tion Friday. Chancellor Gus
tavson, internationally known
research scientist and educator
is a member of the national
medical advisory committee of
the Infantile Parlaysis Founda
tion.
“It is my very profound
conviction,” said Doctor Gus
tavson, "that the National
Foundation is carrying on a
tremendously important joo in
research, education and in tak
ing care of patients. For this
reson it is with a deep sense
of responsibility that I have
again accepted the appointment
as state chairman.”
The National Founda' ion’s
only source of support, stated
Chancellor Gustavson, is the
contributes of the American
people to the March of Dimes
campaign each year in Jan
uary. “But”, urged the leader
“please don’t take the March
of Dimes title too literally. It
is only a symbol ... it takes
dollars . . . dollars and many
of them, to accomplish the all
out program conducted by the
National Foundation for In
fantile Paralysis”.
“Polio is no stranger to us
here in Nebraska”, said Dr.
Gustavson, "It has stricken
those you and I know. When
infantile paralysis comes to
a home ilcomes quickly . . .
without warning . . .without
mercy . . . and when it leaves
there may be a boy or girl
who cannot walk . . . who
cannot hope . . . unless you
and I help. The Foundation
spent $248,000 in Nebraska
alone last year."
The campaign dates are Jan
uary 14-31. One half of your
contribution goes' to finance
research; training of profess
both upon research and treat
ional personal in fields bearing
ment; and, for emergency aid
in major epidemic areas, Gus
tavson said. The other 50 per
cent, he said, stays in the
county where contributed to
assist local patients needing
that help.”
’49 Baby Derby
Deadline Changed
Deadline for filing entries in
Holt county’s 1949 first baby
j contest, sponsored by The j
i Frontier in cooperation with 14
I O’Neill business firms, has
been changed. Under original
plans, all entries were to nave '
been postmarked by 6 p. m. !
Monday, January 10. The new
deadline is 6 p. m. Monday,
January 17.
The first baby contest editor
decided to make the change to
provide for entries from outly
jing sections' of the county which
have been snowbound since
Christmas Several rural com
munities have not had mail
service yet in the New Year
and The Frontier reasoned that
it would be unfair to close the
contest until all entries could
have been entered.
James Michael Beha, son of
Mr. and Mrs. Matthew G.
Beha, of O’Neill, presently ;
leads the derby. He checked
into this world at 7 a. m. on
New Year’s day—Saturday
January 1.
Infants must be born with-;
in the Holt county boundaries
to be eligible.
SCHOOL RESUMES
INMAN—The Inman school
classes were partially resumed
Monday morning after a two
weeks’ vacation, one of which
was forced due to closed roads.
The high school and the sev

Aircraft Flying Mercy Missions and Errands
to Rural People in Distress
Winter’s ‘’one-two" punch has North-Nebraska and the O’Neill
region on the ropes.
Fresh storms, accompanied by strong winds and subzero tem
perature, this week further complicated life in these parts. If until
last week the Winter had not already earned undying fame as one
of the most difficult on record, most observers are willing to con
cede the point now.
Skies had cleared and residents were hoping that they
would get a breathing spell and an opportunity to dig out when
a new storm late Saturday moved in from the Rockies. Tem
peratures dropped rapidly, wind closed most highways, and
again the O'Neill region was completely paralyxed. The sub
xero temperatures prevailed throughout the entire midwest.
Meanwhile, coal piles dwindled and food supplies were run
ning low and, in some instances, being exhausted.
Officials and relief organizations were at a loss to know
where relief was most needed.
Cliff Adkins, of the O’Neill Airport, with a ski-equipped air
plane, continuously has been flying mercy missions and er
rands. Business became so brisk that Andy Risser, a Norfolk air
man, assisted throughout Tuesday and a third aircraft was placed
in action Wednesday.
On Wednesday Adkins was asked to call on 75-year-old Mrs.
Ida Noble, who lived alone northeast of here. Affectionately
known as ‘Grandma” Noble, she was found without foodstuffs.
She said she had been eating “one pancake a day for several
days.’’ Mrs. Noble was evaculated by air and brought to O’
Neill.
The Chamber of Comerce met in an extended three-hour ses
sion Tuesday night at the Golden hotel to deal with the problems
I of opening county roads. The city council met in special session
early Wednesday, and the county board of supervisors, with sev
eral members snowbound and without a quorum, tackled the
plowing problem.
A snowplow leased by the city last week for clearing city
roads was released to the county to supplement county equip
ment in clearing principal county roads. The Chamber ar
ranged for a crew of 20 workmen and Wednesday work was be
gun on the Opportunity road. By 2 p. m. the equipment had
moved six miles, clearing the way both off-and-on the roadbed.
By eveninq the men and machines had reached Opportunity.
Andy Clark, chairman of the Holt county board of supervis
I ors, said work would probably begin early today (Thursday) on
what is known as the Menonite road, and as soon as that is open
ed another will be tackled.
Most of the principal streets in the city have been kept clear
by the snowplow—which reached here Friday via truck from Om
aha.
Mayor H. E. Coyne said it was doubtful if the city would at
tempt to purchase the plow, but would retain it on lease until
its period of usefulness is over.
Early Monday the railroad picture was grim in O’Neill. Deep
drifts four miles East of Emmet caused a derailment of a wrecker
train, which was headed for Cody to help on the Black Hills di
vision.
Eastbound train number 14 was held at Atkinson until the
wreckage was cleared, and the Westbound train, number 13—al
ready several hours late—was held at O’Neill until afternoon.
Tuesday’s Westbound train number 13 ran about six hours
late.
The Burlington railroad, which attracted widespread interest
last week because of a derailment near here, has been dormant for
nine days. The two derailed locomotives which had been bucking
a drift 1,500 feet long and 18 feet deep with a wedge-type snow
plow were kept "alive” for several days following the accident on
Friday, December 31. In the face of a new storm the engines
were abandoned. Meanwhile, a wrecker-snowplow from Sioux
City, intending to participate in salvage operations, required two
days to reach Page and itself became marooned.
The crews stayed with this train for several days, and during
the weekend this train, also, was abandoned and the crewmen
went by bus to Sioux City.
Agent H. A. Yocum in O’Neill said the Burlington plans to
dispatch a rotary snowplow here to free the stranded locomotives,
but doubts if a rotary can clear the track in less than a week.
Airmen have been flagged down with dish towels, shirts,
blankets and handkerchiefs. In several instances people have
“pooled” orders for supplies. When airmen sight signals, they
land and usually one or more persons comes on foot or horseback
to meet the aircraft.
Five trips were required to one landing place, carrying 200
pounds of groceries each trip. On numerous occasions medicines
have been dispatched by courier.
Equipment failures hampered state highway department
activity. On Tuesday and Wednesday two large plows were
