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.
Yours truly
HARVEY A. TOMPKINS
AND FAMILY.

Have been a steady listener to
your programs all through this ,
storm, as it seems to be news so
much closer home.
Have wondered several times
if the announcer. Bill Beha, is
the same cute little Billie Beha,
who used to take part in de
clam contests back in 1927-’28.
Judging from his nice speaking
voice, I would guess he is one

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.

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.

horn, which by the way is
