This week, The Frontier presents with a feeling of pleasure and pride Its long publicized and eagerly anticipated Diamond Jubilee Edition to its vast family of readers in O Neill, Holt cou ty, and the entire territory where it circulates. This edition is an achievement in country journalism which is seldom equalled. It consists of many pages, filled withi inter esting reading matter, timely human interest features and graphic pictures, all of which vividly recreates the story of a typical Ne braska community’s growth and development. It is a story of life and expansion, of struggle and progress, of hardship and success, of ambition and failure, of adventure and aspiration and of a constant forging ahead in spite of handi caps and discouragements. The Frontier is glad to have had the privilege of publishing this big edition in commemoration of the 75th anniversary o the settlement of O’Neill. O’Neill is an outstanding Nebraska city. Its long history is replete with incidents of absorbing dramatic interest and the rousing Diamond Jubilee celebration which is planned ^ Octo ber 12 will be a fitting climax to the steady march of progress which it has made in the past. This edition represents a lot of planning, a lot of cooperation and a lot of hard work and sweat. All the member* of the Frontier *iaff have toiled faithfully for many week* to produce it and they appreciate the a*«l»tance which they have received in *uch generou* measure from the people of O'Neill and Holt county. Without that cooperation, such an edition would have been impossible. "Seventy-five” is symbolic of achievement. When a married couple lives happily together long enough to celebrate their GoW en Wedding, that is considered remarkable; but, when they c ebrate their Diamond Wedding, that is considered extraordinary. The event is unusual and so is the Diamond Jubilee of a community in this new and virgin West. Of course, in the Eas , where civilization is much older, the event would not!oe c<m gidered unusual and, in foreign countries, where back hundreds and even thousands of years, it would not be no ucea. But a Diamond Jubilee in Nebraska, celebrating as this one does the birth, growth, progress and achievements ofasturdy American community like O’Neill, is a great event and this news paper considers it a privilege to tell the story to the world. The history of O’Neill and Holt county is not all sunshine and roses by any means; there have been plenty of dark, drab, dan gerous days^—days of devastating Summer heat, destructive Wm; ter snows, pestilences and calamities. These are all accurately por trayed in the pages of this special edition but the point is that through it all-through good years, fat 'years and lean years, through prosperous years and pool yeais, O continued to march steadily ahead. In recent years, O'Neill has had a phenomenal growth—it has forqed ahead at a remarkable rate and has set a new record for expansion along various lines. There are several obvious rea sons for this—location, climate, natural resources, etc., but one of the most important is the character of its people. The people of O’Neill and Holt county are people of vision and only the next 75 years will reveal what that vision still has in store for them. * This Diamond Jubliee Edition of The Frontier will, we pre dict, be preserved and read with interest and delight by genera tions yet unborn. ★ ★ ★ Hospital Fund Mounts Each week The Frontier is privileged to record contributions to an ever-mounting St. Anthony’s hospital fund. In an advertise ment in this issue, the building committee states “the hospital will be a reality . . . there will be no turnback.” This edition of The Frontier no doubt will fall into the hands of many who have not been following the hospital movement through the news columns of this paper. We earnestly ask you to read the Page 2-G message from the sponsors of the move and do what you can to help. Tough Hike, and It’s Not Over Yet I Prairieland Talk — ‘Eternity Rolls on and Then from Hand of Creator Comes a New Heaven, New Earth’ By ROMAINE SAUNDERS Prairieland ventures today out among the stars. Priests and preachers inculcate that which they have learned of life’s eternal values. Musicians thrill with song and the con cord of sweet sound. Where are the poets whose inspired fingers pluck from the skies the celestial rhyme to soothe the restless soul? For a moment a veil is drawn across the world’s dark I picture. If ■■■■■■■■■ what is writ ten here seems strange and fantastic, out of har mony with your school of orthodox theology, my hpology i s that by dili gent study it j n a s d e e n searched out Romaine of that ne Saunders outlived all others, the sacred scriptures. " . . . , there was silence in heaven — silence before the throne of the Infinite, in that celestial realm from whence emanates life to created worlds. Harp of seraphim, song of cherubim are hushed, heav enly beings await expectantly the climax of the ages. The sinister tread of Satan “from going to and fro in the earth j and from walking up and | down in it” is about to end. How long does the hush continue? “About the space of half an hour"—30 minutes as men measure time, seven days as prophetic time is computed. And then what? Seven angels with commis sions of authority from which there is no appeal come from out the celestial portals to spread the decree of doom, doom for one re bellious planet amid worlds without end. Doom—but why dwell upon the irrevocable destiny of an outlaw world. Step rather from the ebbing tide of time into the full flowing tide of eter nity; across the far unknown to those realms where eye will see the majestic grandeur, where ear will hear the full throb of immortal life; in the homes of ivory and gold, streets of a city more than 300 miles in length and breadth stretching in glittering glory to walls of jasper and diamond studded stone, tree of life and water of the river of life, the throne and the presence of the Sovereign of the universe, the Son now to reign as Krg of kings, celestial beings and the redeemed of earth. Walking the gold - paved streets a venerable patriarch I approaches. Ah, Father Abra ham, here you are. Is this the city you looked for when you were down there on the plain of Mamre And then appear a regal pair, the father and mother of mankind. One by one patriarchs and prophets, > apostles and martyrs greet and the less notable of earth, now all citizens of the eternal king dom. For one thousand years the , redeemed of earth are the guests of the Savior of men. Heaven is explored and the | mysteries of eternity fill the minds of all with adoration and praise. Then the gracious invitation, Come, my people, we are taking a journey to an other planet. A multitude ga ther about their King and with the rapidity of thought the re deemed throng traverse the untrod paths of space and as their feet rest upon the fruit ful soil of an unfallen world there gathers a group of majes tic beings who have never known the sting of sin. They bow in adoration before the Lord, then ask, Who are these you have brought to our world? Ah. here they are, he replies. This is why 1 went down to earth and tread the path way to the cross. These have been redeemed from among men out of the one tragic wreck that shall never more mar eternity's ages. A visit with those of an unfallen world—not a fantastic but a precious thought. Eternity rolls on, and then from the hand of the Creator comes “a new heaven and a new earth,” to which the great glittering city with its immor tal citizens descends. Home at last. “That unchangeable home is for you and for me, Where Jesus of Nazareth stands— The King of all kingdoms for ever is He And He holdeth our crowns in His hands.” State Capitol News LINCOLN — It was a quiet week at the statehouse. Summer arrived and with it, j stenographers shed their stock- j ings to display suntanned legs j and there was the usual quota j of vacation-vacant desks. Even Gov. Val Peterson’s , massive, carved desk was J cleared, as he attended the , governor’s conference in Colo rado Springs’ swank Broad-, moor hotel. There, the chief executive held forth on his favorite top ic: highways. “Boxcars on rubber tires,” he told fellow governors are not paying their share of highway maintenance and construction costs. He waxed warm as he blasted the lobby opposed to 1 higher highway taxes. “There seems to be a na-, tional pattern of petroleum and trucking interests to fight gasoline tax inccreases,” he said. In his own state, there it a counter weapon to the pe troleum and carriers lobby. It's the Better Nebraska As sociation formed to sponsor Peterson's highway program.

Attorney General James An derson last week approved the form of the petition to be cir culated by the VFW and that set the wheels spinning.
