MONDAY. FEBRUARY 14—
WJAG (Norfolk), 4:30 p. m.
Hello, everyone!
Well, it’s the same old story
out at O’Neill today: Snow . . .
snow . . . snow.
But this time the story is
somewhat different. Today’s
snow has been soft and bulky
and has been slanting to the
ground rather gently. There’s
been very little wind out here
thus far today, and, instead of
going about their usual work-a
day chores, most people are
busy keeping their fingers
crossed and hoping there’ll be
no more blowing.
(Music and advertising)
A few hours after Saturday’s
“Voice of The Frontier” pro
gram, Operation Snowbound
had to grind to a halt. When
the wind came up Saturday af
ternoon and the newly-opened
roads were being filled in again,
most of the Fifth Army’s bull
dozers hiked for their bases of
supply and villages and towns.
But early Sunday morning, the
offensive was resumed and has
been in full gear ever since, and
a lot of snow has been moved.
The Army here told us to
day that the emergency is
about over in Boyd, Rock,
Brown and Keya Paha coun
ties—provided, of course, no
fierce new storms move in.
The most important county
highways are open in those
counties.
But the picture is not quite
the same in Holt county—par
ticularly northeastern Holt
county. In the territory east of
highway 281 and north of high
way 20 the emergency still ex
ists. And in the Chambers and
Amelia localities emergency
is still on in every respect.
However, the urgency isn’t
there in the sense that it was
during January and the first 10
days of February. Most human
suffering has been relieved, ac
cording to the American Red
Cross, and with the aid of this
powerful army of ’dozers the
situation is rapidly getting un
der control.
Meanwhile, the distress setup
and the army headquarters are
| still very much intact and, as
we mentioned earlier, everyone
from General Pick down to the
messenger boy has his fingers
crossed.
Four of the Army’s largest
’dozers are working right now
as a team to open the Oppor- j
tunity road on to Redbird, which
will provide an aterial through
the heart of the hardest-hit
area. And while they’re at it, j
the ’dozers are widening the
road to such an extent that ad
ditional snow and wind will not
readily close the road again,
they hope.
At the same time, every
where the 'dozers are opening
narrow passages to haystacks
and feed lots, helping individ
ual farmers and ranchers with
side roads and lanes, and, all
in all, doing a big job in a big
way.
The Fifth army sub-area head
quarters today announced that
131 ’dozers are still at work in
Holt county. The Army says
that well over 200 people—civ
ilian and military—are manning
these machines.
The temperature this morn
! mg in O’Neill at eight o’clock
was 17 degrees above zero.
Right nuW, the temperature is
I 29 degrees. During the past hour
the skies have cleared consider
ably and the snow has stopped
j falling.
Here’s the highway informa
tion
All of the state and federal
highways in the O’Neill region
are open with one exception.
There is a five and one-half
mile stretch of highway 11, run
ning north out of Atkinson, that
is still closed, but state high
way department snowplows are
at work clearing that road.
Highway 108 from O’Neill to
Page was'opened this morning
b.v Army ’dozers working in that
locality Highway 108 from Ew
ing south was opened earlier.
We hooe we haven’t incon
venienced any of our listeners
by postponing today’s “Voice of
The Frontier” program from 9:
30 o’clock this morning until 4:
30 this afternoon.
Today’s program has featured
the vocal music of the St. Mary’s
academy trio, composed of
Marde Birmingham, Lorraine
Simonson and Bernadette Hy
nes.
The Frontier, North-Nebras
ka’s fastest-growing weekly
newspaper, will be back on the
aii again Wednesday morning
at the regular time—9:30. Until
then, your announcer, Lyle Ohr
mund, bids you all good after
noon.
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 16
WJAG (Norfolk), 9:30 a. m.
Good morning, everyone. This
is Lyle Ohrmund again speak- j
ing to you from O’Neill, North
Nebraska’s fastest-growing city.
Here’s this morning’s highway
information: All federal and
state highways in the O’Neill
region are open. The office of
the state highway department
here advises that every mile of
federal and state highway main
tained by the O’Neill office is
open, but warns that many of
the passages are narrow and
traveling s very dfficult, except
along the main routes.
Winds blowed most of the day
yesterday and much of the
night, but the state’s snowplows
were able to clear the snow
about as fast as it blowed in.
Temperature this morning at
eight o’clock here in O’Neill was
exactly zero.
Well, Operation Snowbound is
in its final stages, accorling to
Fifth army sub-area headquar
ters in O’Neill.
Already, four other counties
in the district two sub-area —
Keya Paha, Brown, Boyd and
Rock — officially are no longer
in the emergency classification,
as far as the Army is concern
ed.
Holt county is still in a state
of emergency, however, and
since Sunday morning lots and
lots of snow has been moved
by the bulldozers ’round the
clock. For example, four giant
D-8 ’dozers working in the Dor
sey and Opportunity commun
ities on Monday night cleared
32 lineal miles of road.
In the sub-area up until
this morning, the Army fig
ures is has cleared 4,000 miles
of roads. Because of subse
quent storms and drifting, it
has been necessary to go back
over an additional thousand
miles of roads, making 5,000
miles of snow plowing. This
since Sunday, January 13—
the day the Army officially
moved into O'Neil.
Maj. James H. Harper, sub
area comander, told The Fron
tier this morning that the Army’s
job was to provide rural peo
ple with roads on which they
could travel to replenish their
supplies and to relieve livestock
feed problems wherever pos
sible. This, Major Harper says,
has already been pretty well
taken care of, and Operation
Snowbound is down the home
stretch.
The weatherman since Sun
day morning has been very co»
operative with the Army as
well as with the folks who are
digging themselves out. With
the coming of longer and
warmer days, the amount of
snow on the level is shrinking
day-by-day and the snow-re
moval job is being made eas»
ier.
But the Winter’s not over
. . . no sir! There can be late
snowstorms and blizzards just
as well as early ones. It was
the early one—November 18th
and 19th—that was the begin
ning of all this trouble in the
O'Neill region.
But Spring is just around
that well- known corner, and
every where there’s hope that
Old Man Winter’s back has
been broken.
Well, it appears that the two
derailed locomotives, which
have been helpless in the
snow, six miles east of O’Neill,
since December thirtieth, soon
will have help after 48 days
buried in an unending drift.
These two locomotives left
the track that day while at
tempting to push a wedge type
snowplow through a drift eigh
teen feet deep. A wrecker
train, trying to reach the |
wreckage, became stranded at j
Page. Ultimately, both trains
were abandoned and there hasi
been no Burlington railroad .
service out of O’Neill since j
December 28.
But bulldozers—owned and
operated by private contractors
and released by the Army for
the job—are making headway
where the railroad’s equipment
has failed. In fact, right now.
the Burlington’s rotaTy snow
plow is back at Ferry June-'
tion. near South Sioux City,
having left the job to the ‘boz
ers.
The ’dozers shuttle back-and
forth qrossways of the the rails,
working down to about six to
10 inches from the rails. Then
the railroad’s flanger comes
along and pushes away the re- j
maining snow as well as the ;
loose snow.
Right now the Burlington
road is open to Plainview and
the ’dozers are churning away
in the drifts between Plainview
and Brunswick.
Burlington officials said
this morning that service on
the line will be restored some
time today between Osmond
and Sioux City.
Even after the • ’dozers and
the work train behind it reaches
these two derailed locomotives,
there’ll be the salvage job and
the task of restoring the tracks.
It is believed that some of the
track might have been torn up
when the double-header roared
into the snowdrift and ended up
on their side.
Funeral services will be held
this morning at 10 o’clock in
?t Patrick’s Catholic church for i|
PATRIOT . . . Groves Golden,
age 1, salutes the land of his
father after arriving at La
Guardia airport. New York,
from Germany. Groves and
his parents were on their way
to Waynesville, N. C. His dad,
an American occupation sold
ier, met his mother in Kassel,
Germany.
Richard Jennings, age 68 and
single, who died Saturday in
an O’Neill hotel. He had been
dead for several days before
the body was discovered. The
late Mr. Jennings lived in the
O’Neill community most of his
life.
Here a basketball score: O’
Neill high school defeated Stuart
high school 46 to 40 last night
on the Stuart floor. The game
was ragged but interesting. Ar
rangements have not yet been
completed for the champion
ship game in the Holt county
high school basketball tourna
ment. Because of weather and
road conditions, the title game
has been held up for nearly
three weeks. O’Neill high and
Atkinson high will clash for
the Holt county championship.
Third place honors will be de
termined between St. Joseph’s
academy, of Atkinson, and Page.
