(Continued from page 1;
Ferry Junction to clear away the fresh snow that
had closed in behind the rotary.
A large crew of O’Neill workmen was alerted
to be prepared to go to a point six miles East of
O’Neill to help dig out the two derailed locomo
tives, but their services weren’t to be needed for
several days because the rotary early Sunday
broke down three rhiles East of Plainview after it
had started West* once more. The rotary had to
return to Havelock, near Lincoln, for repairs.
North Western mainline trains have been
running regularly but up to six hours late.
Russes that left O’Neill Sunday morning for
Grand Island and Ainsworth were forced to turn
back. Norfolk busses were cancelled, but the
Eastbound Sioux City bus made its trip, travel
ling late.
The O’Neill district of the Nebraska highway
department was spending its share of the $200,
000 weekly highway maintenance bill. Gov
ernor Peterson said Tuesday he didn’t know how
long the department could continue the heavy task
j without running out of money.
John 1). Osenbaugh, head of the O’Neill
state highway department headquarters, ex
plained that equipment in this district has been
running every possible hour of the day “when
er it is practicable.” Equipment is being
held in the garage about one-third of the time
for repairs and waiting for new storms to sub
side.
Osenbaugh explained that in the entire his
tory of the department there has never been such
a gigantic task.
Several times during the week he warned that
motorists should venture out only if the trip is a
“life-or-death matter.” Ice added to the hazard
I of the snow-choked highways.
The new power line between O’Neill and Nor
folk, linking the O’Neill Consumers Public Power
district with the hydro-electric plants in the mid
| central part of the state, broke early Sunday. Un
til Monday evening the O’Neill grid was ' being
“fed’’ by local sources and through the Belden
substation. A one-hour blackout was imposed
Monday evening.
Most Northwestern Bell telephone trunk lines
were intact out of O’Neill, except to Ainsworth,
but ice between Norfolk and Fremont restricted
normal communications with Omaha and other
points East, South and North.
The week’s weather has been characterized
by the same old thing—snow and blow, snow and
blow. Last Thursday was the coldest night dur
ing the week—and season—when the mercury
dipped to 23-degrees below zero. Visibility during
the height of the storms Sunday and Monday was
zero.
For coldness^ the past seven days probably
rivals all others of the Winter.
Glen B. Custer, American Red Cross field di
rector from the St. Louis, Mo., regional office,
arrived in Q’Neill about 3 p. m. Wednesday from
Chadron. He had been snowbound there and
came to O’NeiTl by air.

not send us one?
If you send recipes, be sure
to copy them carefully and ac

We like to have you include

Did You Know —
That it is easier to slice
freshly baked bread if you will
heat the knife blade?
The next time you make corn
meal mush, add a handful of
raisins. Chill it and slice for
quick frying. The men in the
family will love this fruity
touch.
For a lunch box surprise, stuff
pitted prunes with English wal
nut halves or cream cheese.
Buying packaged dates that
come all ready pitted will save
vou extra time when baking—
particularly when time is prec
ious.
