To Safety
INMAN— Quick action and
fast - thinking by Blanche
Graves, a Page high school stu
dent,. Friday afternoon at 3 o’
clock saved the lives of 3 small
children when fire completely
destroyed the 8-room Max Wan
ser frame farm home, 300 yards
northeast of the junction of
highways 275 and 20, 4 miles
east of Inman.
Three volunteer fire depar
tments — O’Neill, Orchard and
Ewing—were called. However,
there were no facilities avail
able for fighting the fire. The
Ewing department was the first
to report to the scene.
Miss Graves, a junior at Page
high, and the daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Clifford Graves, of
Page, discovered the fire in a
northwest upstairs room near -a
chimney. She took the 3 Wan
ser children she was in charge
of to the barn, wrapped them
and made sure they were safe
before she dashed to the high
way to summon aid.
Passersby stopped and aided
in removing most of the house
hold furnishings. First to stop
* was a Sioux City-bound passen
ger bus. Passengers went to the
burning Wanser home and In a
few minutes a large crowd of
neighbors gathered and many
joined in saving of the fumish
ings.
Firemen said the blaze started
near the chimney and said it
may have been defective. Mr.
and Mrs. Wanser and 5 other
children were away at the time
of the fire.
Wanser said most all of the
furnishings were saved except
those in an upstairs room and
some of the children’s clothing.
Loss was partially covered by
insurance.
The youngest daughter, Kay,
is staying with her grandpar
ents, Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Wan
ser, at Page, for the present.
The youngest son, Dickie, is
staying with his cousins, Mr.
and Mrs. John Walker, at Ew
ing. The other 6 children attend
St. Mary’s at O’Neill.
Mrs. Wanser and several of
her children are staying at the
home of her mother, Mrs. Brid
get Carr, in O’Neill.
Mr. Wanser has purchased
a frame 4-room house which
he plans to move onto the
place as a temporary mea
sure.
He and his wife had gone to
O’Neill to meet their children
who were to be coming from
school.
“Blanche did a wonderful job
% looking after our little chil
dren,” Mrs. Wanser said.
Mrs. Wanser surmised the
fire started in the attic.
Consumers Public Power dis
trict’s new radio grid figured
behind-the-scenes In the fire.
The log at O’Neill’s station
KAA-615, kept by Larry R.
Johnson, shows a message re
ceived at 3:50 p. m. from Ed
Rainey, a radio manufacturer
representative who was tuned
to KAA’s FM frequency.
Rainey reported over his 2
way auto communications. sys
tem that “a house is on fire at
junction of highways 20 and
275. Will you report it?”
Johnson radioed an acknowl
edgement. ,
At 3:53 Rainey asked: “Is fire
’ department coming? The whole
roof is on fire.”
Johnson responded: Yes,
with 1 truck.”
About an hour later—4:o3
Rainey reported: “Fire truck
arrived,” and Johnson was told
the rest of the story.
Johnson closed his log:
“Fire truck arrived too late to
save the Wanser house.”

GRASSLAND MEET
ATTENDED BY 250
Panel Members Stress
Strict Grassland
Management
STUART— Strict land man
agement is the most important
single factor in obtaining pro
fits from grass. This was
brought out Tuesday in a pan
el discussion that highlighted a
day-long area grassland meet
ing here at which more than 250
farmers and ranchers from 8
counties attended.
The meeting was held in con
nection with the annual meet
ing of the Holt county Soil Con
servation District at the city
auditorium here.
Most panel discussion mem
bers agreed that farmers and
ranchers could “sharply” cut
the cost of raising livestock by
properly conserving the grass
land areas. It was brought out
also that more attention and
forethought should be paid
when planting grass areas for
the feeding of livestock. In ad
dition, strict conservation meth
ods should apply.
Ranchers and farmers repre
sented Holt, Cherry, Brown,
Boyd, Rock, Keya Paha, Gar
field and Loup counties at the
session.
The day-long meet got un
derway with the year-end re
port of the Holt Soil Conser
vation District. The report
was given by Carl Lambert,
treasurer of the board of di
rectors.
Robert Hynes, representing
St. Mary’s academy, of O’Neil’,
was awarded first prize in the
Holt boys’ essay contest. Hynes’
prize was $7.50 cash. John Ob
ermeier, of Stuart, took second
prize of $5 while Lewis Gener
eux, of St. Mary’s, took the
$2.50 third prize. Prizes were
awarded by the Stuart Commu
nity club and presented by Ora
Yarges, of Stuart.
Seventeen men and a Stuart
woman competed for the prizes
in the grass and legume identi
fication contest. Awarded first
place by the O’Neill Production
Credit association was George
Mellor, of Atkinson. He scored
83 out of a possible 100 percent.
Marion D. Woods, of Long Pine,
Harold Orr* of Ainsworth, and
John J. Dvorak, of Atkinson,
were second, third, and fourth
place winners respectively.
Four door prizes for each men
and women were distributed at
various scheduled times

Join in Whirl of Colorful Mardi Gras
By MAUDE SILVERSTRAND
Special Correspondent
ATKINSON — Is your blood
pressure up? Are you feeling
low? Then, let’s relax and take
a whirl down to the Mardi Gras
in good ol’ New Orleans, La.
I took such a trip Tuesday—
thanks to a vivid report from
Mr. and Mrs. Charles E. Chace
and Mr. and Mrs. Bernard Wil
son, who Sunday returned from
New Orleans.
First, let’s examine the origin
of the world-famous Mardi Gras.
Many years ago on the French
Riviera the natives began this
“Fat Tuesday” celebration. In
fact, the words Mardi Gras are
a French term meaning “Fat
Tuesday” having to do with
Shrove Tuesday, before Lent
and Ash Wednesday. In those
days a fatted calf led the pro
cession or parade. It was fes
tooned with garlands, and other
decorations in keeping with ioy
ous celebration and eating, be
fore the time of Lent, which, of
course, is a period of fasting and
religious significance. At the
close of the ceremonies the calf
i was barbecued and eaten by the
revelers.
The custom was brought to
this country by the French
and is entwined in and com
prises a great deal of the
background of U. S. history.
The normal population of
New Orleans is around 600,
000 but during this past cele* <
bration, the largest erer, it
swelled to nearly a million.
All traffic in the business dis
trict and all shops and business
places, except a few in the
French Quarter of the city, are
closed the last 3 days of the
carnival. The shops are more
specialized than they are in our
part of the country but they do
have many large and modern
department stores. The antique
shops are in this Quarter, which
is the oldest part of the city.
Antoines, a very famous restau
rant, is here and the Chaces and
Wilsons had lunch in this “old
world establishment.” The place
itself is a story book of romance
and history. They visited the
Henry Clay room and saw auth
entic letters written "by Mr.
Clay.
They went to Jackson Square,
named after Andrew Jackson.
The oldest church in the U. S.,
St. Louis Cathedral, is located
on the square. The Cabildo,
seat of the old Spanish govern
ment, the building in which the
Louisiana purchase papers were
signed, nestles close to the side
of this cathedral. The papers are
still there along with many oth
er historical relics.
On the other 3 sides of the
square they saw the oldest
apartment building in the U. S.,
complete with iron g> illwork.
Snlconies. and all the savor of
Holt Man, 96, Never III a Single Day
Charles Allen Fauquier
Remembers Abe Lincoln
And Civil War
By a Staff Writer
Charles Allen Fauquier has
packed lots of livin’ into 96
years. , , , .
He remembers the day hi*
ather trudged off to fight for
the North in the Civil war; he
remembers the tragedy of Fora s
‘h ater when Abraham Lincoln
was attacked by an assassin; he
was in Nebraska when the
“grandfather” of all blizzards
struck — the April 13 storm,
1873.
He saw the Pawnee Indians
limp home from a decisive
battering at the hands of the
Sioux; he remembers the lo
cust plague of 1894. Mr. Fau
quier knew O'Neill when it
was an untamed, forlorn
prairie town.
And he’s hever been ill a
single day!
Mr. Fauquier observed his
96th birthday anniversary on
February 6. “I’d have made a
trip downtown except I can’t
see,” he explained to a Frontier
reporter. He is virtually blind
and the reason is because when
a lad of 6 he fell into a mortar
box in which there was lime,
and the injury became perma
nent. He has been unable to
read for 15 years but has be
came a rabid radio fan and
oroudly states he is one of the
best listeners to the “Voice of
The Frontier.”
It was on February 6, 1854,
vhen Mr.-Fauquier was born
in Troy, O. At the age of 2 he
moved with his parents and
older brother to Keokuk, la,
where he resided until 1872 —
when he was 18.
Keokuk was a turbulent Mis
sissippi river town back in
♦hose da vs. It was from thorn
his father, a plasterer by trade
mined the ranks of General
Grant’s Union armv. A letter
written home to his son, still
oerfectlv legible, is one of Mr.
Fauquier’s prized possessions.
Charles Allen Fauquier . . .
his father was a Republican
but his uncle raised him a
Democrat. — The Frontier
Photo.
Mr. Fauquier recalls an inci
dent at Keokuk when a printer
sided in with the Confederate
cause, and a gang moved in and
dumped his type and machinery
into the Mississippi. Mr. Fau
quier, a lad, salvaged some of
the type and that was his first
insight into the newspaper bus
iness.
“I always wanted to be a
harnessmaker,” h e laughed,
“but guess I’d been out of a
job by now if I’d become one.”
That remark is fairly typical
of*this nonagenarian’s sense of
humor. It’s as sharp and enter
taining as it was a half-century
ago. He manages to accompany
such a remark with a hearty
laugh and lets the world roll
on.
Mr. Fauquier’s father never
came home from the wars. He
di«d in a Little Rock, Ark., hos
•'•♦at. Rut his uncle (his moth
"»*’s brother who had been in
iV,e same regiment) returned,
took care of his widow
'■* sister and 3 children.
’’’bit partially accounts for
Fauquier’s being an indel
Democrat. You see, his
.'a(.her, who was of French ori
gin, had come from Virginia
where a county was named Fau
quier. He was a Republican, but
his uncle was it Democrat, and
young Charles Allen grew up
under the Democratic influence.
A healthy, erect, 170-pound
man, Charles Allen Fauquier
Dicked up the Horace Greeley
theme and headed west. He
settled at Merrick county,
near Central City, in 1872, lo
cating about 6 miles north of
the old Oregon trail.
It was in April, 1873, that he
witnessed the “grandfather” of
all midwestem blizzards.
“It had been raining and
there was thunder and light
ning on the morning of the
13th,” he recalls. “Then the
storm hit. Snow was so thick
and driven so hard you couldn't
see your hand in front of your
face. The storm lasted for 3
days. Three lives were lost right
around us and I’ve never seen
anything like it.
‘There w’as more snow in
1949, because it was a succession
of storms, but no single storm
was like that 3-day storm in
’73."
Mr. Fauquier remembers the
grasshopper plague of 1894.
"They were immigrants, those
grasshoppers. I don’t know
where they came from or where
they went, but they stripped us
of everything we had. They cov
ered the sun so all you could
see of the sun was a little ring
around the edge.
"Immigrants, that’s what thev
was. I’ve never seen them since.”
Mr Fauquier remembers dis
tinctly the day the Pawnee In
dians made their way back to
their reservation after a terrific
beating at the hands of the
Sioux.
“They were a sad looking
sight.” he remembers.
“We never had any trouble
with the Indians in mv family.
Oh, once ih a while a kind-i dir
tv and little troublesome Indian
would wander in. but thev nev
. ear Pave us trouble.”
Mr. Fauquier took himself a
I bride at Central Citv in 1881.

For a month preceding Ash

Louis Armstrong, famous Ne
