* ORCHARD TRIPS INMAN ‘5’, 42-41 [UNMAN — The Orchard Ori oles Friday night nosed out the Inman cage quintet, 42-41, after going into an overtime period in the non-conference tilt to capture the victory. During the exciting clash be tween the two arch - rival schools, the count was knotted j 5 times and the lead changed hands 7 times Throughout the first half, there was never more than a 3 point margain between the two teams. After a slow first period, Inman trailed 4-5 going Into the second period of play. The play pepped up and Orchard held a 2-point lead over the host crew. 21-19, as the inter mission buzzer sounded. Third canto play was sluggish but Orchard stretched its lead ■to 31-24 when the third quarter ended. However the Inman kids manufactured a rally and when the regulation game ended the count was deadlocked at 37. The overtime period was a hectic up-and-down-the-f 1 o o r affair. Pat Hartigan, the Inman pivot man, hit a pair of buckets for the Inman scores while Dempster potted a bucket and a charity and Erb poured in another bucket to give the Or ioles their 1-point margain. In accuracy at the foul line caused the Inman loss. Inman was only able to sink 3 of 10 gratis tosses for 30 percent while the Orchard outfit slipped through 10 of 17 for 58 percent Hemenway, of Orchard, and Hartigan, of Inman, paced their respective teams with 16 points each. „ * Boxscore: INMAN (41) fg ft pf tp Stevens, f _— 1 1-1 2 3 Neilsen, f_ 3 0- 0 2 6 Moore, f_2 0-5 1 5 Hartigan, c- 8 0- 5 4 16 Sholes, g - 4 0-138 Morsbach, g .. 11-15 3 Totals_19 3-10 18 41 ORCH.

Those were bad years and many people had left. Com ing as we did, we could settle about anywhere because there were a lot of empty houses.” More chilren came to bless the modest Summers household and the family exp<yjenced the usual trials, tribulations and hardships of frontier life. One son, W. A., remembers that in his growing up years he ate his full share of cornbred and molasses. Later, Miles Summers mov ed his family to a farm 8 mi.es Northwest of Page. This farm is still regarded as the old home place. Mrs. Summers has a vived memory of historical incidents in early Holt county history, and she is supremely happy when she is retelling some of her experiences. “I know all about that Bar ret Scott case,’’ she reassured The Frontier reporter. *‘i can tell you how the gang gath ered in a big red bam. “His wife was with him when the masked men took hiim. Scott stood up in the carriage and aloud identified the mask ed men so his wife could hear. “They were going to scare Scott Into giving out informa tion there in the barn. They didn’t intend to kill him, but let him hang there a little too long. “Then they took the body to the Niobrara river. “I can tell you how the coun try was settled and got built up “O’Neill, my! It has grown from a tiny village. “Now, instead of small1 bunches of grass, all one sees is big haystacks.’’ Mr. Summers died in 1933. Since then his widow has made her home with her children, spending the past 2 years with her son, Frank, and family. The Cruickshank’s are noted for their longevity, and Isabella, the eldest, is doing well. Her father was 96 when he died, her mother was 94. Her “kid" sis ters and brothers include: Mrs. Jean Burnett, 86, of Medicine Bow, Wyo.; John Cruickshank. 84, of Golden Valley, N. L>.; Mrs. Etta Nickerson, 82, of Red Bluff, Calif.; Mrs. Ora (Bessie) Marshall , of Casper, Wyo.; and Andrew Cruickshank, 71, of Long Beach, Calif. A member of the Methodist church, Mrs. Summers has been very active until recently when her eyesight began to fail. Un til lately she has spent consid erable time crocheting and reading. Now, however, she can read only the headlines in a newspaper. Three weeks ago she tripped on a rug while carrying her bird and birdcage. She hurt her collarbone and was bruised. One daughter, Mrs. Sherman (Iola) Bergstrom, who lived 6 miles east of Page, died 27 years ago. Her 6 sons are all living—W. A. Summers, of Bartlett; Char les and Frank Summers, both of O’Neill, all of whom were born in Washington county; Earl Summers, of Ewing, and it. Mark Summers, of Elgin, and Leslie Summers, who lives on the old place north of Page, all of whom were born in Holt county. Mrs, Bergstrom also was born in Holt county. Among her relatives and friends, the bespectacled lit tie old lady enjoys the repu tation of always having a kind word and a cheerful smile. She loves to chat and joke. As if her homestead chores and 7 children didn’t keep her busy enough, she was for many years a country correspondent lor The Frontier. She wrote the community news for Cream Ridge, north of Page. In bygone years her notes were called “Echoes from Cream Ridge." “You can tell The Frontier readers that this is another echo from Cream Ridge,” she poking- 1 ly told the reporter when he wished her “Happy Birthday" and bade her “goodbye.” SECTION 2 — PAGES 9 TO 12 O'MEILL MBBIU TKUHSPAT.

Derrick told his audience that "grass is America's big gest crop; that S3 percent of all the acree in the United States are devoted to gram and hay." He emphasized the growing importance of the beef industry by pointing out that the aver age American eats 7.7 ounces of meat per day; the best-eat ing Americans average 8.3 ounces. He agreed with Mr. Whitak er’s remarks that the “box car" type beeves were too big, took too long to fatten for economic reasons, but beeves too small were uneconomical, too. “We need the kind of beef that you’re producing right here; the size that uses up grain most efficiently.” Derrick told how registered breeders and commercial breed ers “cannot neglect” each other; that they “work hand-in-hand in the best interests of the in dustry.” The Davis brothers —Owen, Edward and Lyle—played three selections on their electric guL tar before the showing of the film, “Angus Trails,” by A. Noil Dawes. Members of Simonson post 93 American Legion auxiliary served tne roast beef dinner.
