Radio Station WJAG Norfolk, Nebr. « Dear Sirs: We wish to express our ap preciation as one farm family in your radio audience for the fine, complete weather and road reports you have been giving during this storm period this winter. Your audience is stead ily growing, I am sure, and the warning and information you give have been of great benefit (if unwelcome as to content with so many storms forecast.) The rebroadcast from O’Neill is a fine innovation, and we who live in the O’Neill trade terri tory are especially interested in it. My parents are farmers living near Utica, and they wrote us recently that they have been listening to your weather broad cast because you have been more detailed than the sta tions they formerly listened to —KFAB and WOW.

Elkhorn Beavers Outwit Traopers and Take Time for Good Laugh By MAUDE SILVERSTRAND Special Correspondent ATKINSON — For the time being it is impossible to send' in regular routine items from Atkinson. In the first place, imagine not many folks arc coming or going anyway. Vv < have tried to keep track of the stork and his journey and to keep you informed of those sadder or more tragic statistics, which have made this the most disturbing of Winters on re cord. We've had everything except the Spring that follows a Win ter like this. What will it bo i like? I’ve searched around home to find an item or two that might interest you. First of all, I want to say I have had many fine re ports on "The Voice of The Frontier." Many people have said it was like the voice of a friend. It cut into that still, white silence cc that pierc ing wind whistle like a warm friendly greeting. only a stone’s throw from out house, were doing considerable damage, cutting trees and backing water up on valuable pasture and hay land. We made elaborate prepara tions. 1 went at them half heartedly because I kept re membering the stories in my third and forth grade reader about the beaver lamilies. There are papa beaver, the mama beaver and the little beavers, you know, and we thought that if we caught one the rest of the family would' be sad. Well. I 11 bet that littl > fam ily of beavers who live above the dam in our pasture had a good laugh one night. O’Neill, Nebr., February 7, 1949.

I believe that is the February 3 issue. Sincerely yours, MISS JEAN RAKOWSK1 ★ We set three traps, and staked them good and tight so if the trap was sprung on a big beaver he wouldn't carry it away with him. Do you know, the next day i when we waded through brush and slush to get our beaver sure enough there—side-by side cut off just above our stake wire—lay, not the beav er, but the three trees to which the traps had been staked They had been cut off just above the wire! Can’t you just see mama and papa beaver watching as we grimly attached the traps to three more trees? Maybe I’d better let the inci dent of the California-bound puppies go until next time. Meanwhile, I’ll be keeping my eyes open for something you might get a chuckle out of. There are so many grim things now. So, so long for now—your Atkinson reporter. The news, of necessity, was usually bad, but we listened, and felt a warmth of "togeth erness" in our isolation. I want to say "Thank you” to my pa per and its staff and to Jean nie and Johnny. Now for an incident or two from which you might get a chuckle. We did. Mr. Silverstand and 1 decid ed we might as well trap a little this Winter as the No vember blizzard had cut the corn picking off short. The beavers' along the Elk horn, which by the way is Madison, Nebr., February 5, 1949. Frontier, O’Neill, Nebr. Dear Sir: Find enclosed 10 cents. Please send me your special edition of snow scenes.
