Thy ceaseless change, whether we and are convincing evidence ot me observe them or not. Perhaps Ih. moat conspicuous indic.iion ol lha passing Summer is the bng» and the neighborhood no longer resounds with the merry shouts ant laughter of children at play until far into the evening. We wonder whether or not Frontier readers have noticed it, but the birds are another infallible sign of the passing Summer. Only a short time ago—in May and June, especially—the birds were bursting their little throats with song, they began to chirp at da> - light and, all through the long day, they sang continuously in the trees; but not any more. At the present time, you don’t hear them at all in the early morning hours and only the rather plaintive note of an occasional bird is heard throughout the day. And the robins! Do you recall how numerous they were earlier in Hie Reason as they hopped about the yard looking for worms? Well, the robins are gone—disappeared—and they may be already wing ing their way South looking for a comfortable place to spend the Winter. There are many other evidences of the rapidly passing Sum mer. The harvest fields with their stacks of hay and fields of rip ening corn, the fading flowers, the dried up vegetable gardens, the fruit trees bending under the weight of a luscious crop, the dry, sultry days which always occur in August and numerous other signs. Harvest activities have been in full swing for weeks, the ranch and farm are tremendously busy places and the newspapers and radios comment on the crop forecasts from day-to-day while it is a topic of conversation wherever people gather. Obviously, the progress of the season is also indicated by the various sports and social events of the day. These paragraphs in regard to the passing of the Summer suggest the thought that the regularity with which the seasons come and go. like the movement of the planets in their orbits, is something which can be absolutely depended on and reckoned with for the simple reason that it is controlled by unchangeable natural law. That is one thing which is changeless in a constantly changing and chaotic world and it seems to give one a feeling of security just to reflect on it. Countless things are uncertain, unreliable and un predictable, but of this we may be certain: the seasons will con tinue to come and go in their appointed order as long as time en dures. Summer will follow Spring, Fall will follow Summer, Win ter will follow Fall and, then, another Spring will be ushered in with bright sunshine, the song of birds and the fragrance ol I flowers. In conclusion, we might also suggest that the Summer of 1949 now hastening to its close, has been and is a notable one on ac count of the various local events which have already taken placi or are being planned for the near future, such as the Diamonc Jubilee edition, the hospital campaign and many others whicl might be mentioned. What kind of a Winter will follow the Summer of 1949? Th< Frontier declines to predict.

Ralph N. Leidy ... O’Neill Sittui’ Pretty r \ mm Prairieland Talk — Diamond Jubilee Celebration Blows Up; Is This Generation of Less Sterner Stuff? By ROMAINE SAUNDERS LINCOLN—So the Diamond Jubilee blowout has blown up. Other towns struggling for survival have gone through with the exhibitions of show- 1 manship, while this is the first | time O’Neill has admitted that it is licked. Shades of a de parted generation! Brennan, Millard, McCafferty, Charley nan, t>Kirv- j i n g, Biglin, Mack, Bir- | ingham, Sch- ; ram, Barnett, j Gallag her: and the oth- j er boosters' | never said quit when a public func tion was un dertaken. Is this gen erauon, na Romaine tives and re Saunders cent arrivals, made of less sterner stuff? Is this generation content now to linger in the lap of luxury, lacking the spirit to arouse themselves and devote one day to the memory of that lit tle band that planted the tab ernacles of their sod palaces on virgin prairieland 75 years ago and laid the foundation of the community that has be come the heritage of the likes of us? • • • I owe much to prairieland. It brought to me life’s thrill ing emotions of facing single handed the problems of sur vival at a time when men re lied upon individual effort or perished. And out of that came full fruitage commensurate with toil and understanding. 1 It was there nature opened her picture albumn and said to me, pause and look. Ft was I there the fragrance and color of the grasslands spread be fore me a panorama of loveli ness; the green of earth and the blue above, the glare of day and the gold and purple of sunset. It was there I met the wild lings trotting through the I grass or bounding over a sand j hill, heard the flutter of wings when the covey took to flight [ and marveled at the golden , eagle floating in the heavens, “stately and still as a ship at sea.” It was there I taimed ittle wild horses, learned to ?ast a lasso and brand the /earlings. It was there the winds swept in fury and thunders shook the earth. It was there the fireside beckoned when blizzards swept across the land. It was there I found friends, ; and life's greater treasure, a ! cultured maiden who ventur ed forth with me on a bright day in April in the long ago to tread the pathway stretch ing on into the years and build a home, whose memory is cherished fragrant as the full bloom of roses. It was there I learned to assemble type, put commas in the right place, see the gleaming white sheets through the press to come out with a work of art impressed upon them or bear ing the news of the commun ity in stately columns. It was there this habit of Prairieland Talk was formed and maybe I should be going back there to lay it lown at the grass roots. • • m An old-timer in the business of laying floors tells of being on a government job where two young gents were suppos ed to supervise the work. They didn’t know a flooring board from a bridge plank, did noth ing but walk around, look wise and on occasions say to the men at work that the book says so-and-so. Floors are not laid with books but with saw, hammer and nails, and the know how that comes of experience. * * • Many Lincoln streets have become a jungle of tall weeds and the city is said to be so hard up for cash the streets commissioner can not put men to work cutting the growth crowding over sidewalks. May be the financial stringency is one reason for exacting from one public utility that is just about indispensable to the communiity an annual take of 30-thousand-dollars franchise. That’s one way of scalping the ultimate consumer.__ » l r —--—- ---- The young couple presented ! themselves at the marriage license desk accompanied by an older man who said to the clerk they were after a marri age license. They sat down and waited. Whether to throw up a smoke screen, calm his nerves or yield to the perpet ual clamor that assails the smoker the prospective bride groom lighted a fag, blew clouds of smoke and awaited results.
