Prairieland Talk li - (Continued from page 2.) startling statement: Never be fore in America has official pconscience fallen 60 low, or of fficial impudence grown so brash; and never before has public apathy seemed more pro found” Numerous incidents are cited to substantiate 6uch a statement. If public apathy is “profound” what makes for this condition, the bribery that comes out of the Washington plunderbund in the form of subsidies? Party considerations set aside, the need of this hour is for able and ♦hijnest men to come forward and redeem the fallen standards of political and official life, men not swayed from the right by pressure from self-seeking interests. • < I Agent down at Elmwod drew a sentence of from 12- to 15 years incarseration in the Ne braska state prison for his vengeful fun of setting the fire that destroyed his uncle’s barn. • • • Sunbeams again brighten pririeland. The time of the melody of spring is at hand, the hum of insects, the song of f bird's, purple and blue and j’sndscapes with color and tint white bloom soon will paint the the air with perfume—and a waving sea of green across the grass lands- From the flag-grown rim of sand hill lakes will sound forth the evening chorus of frogs, punctuated at intervals by the deeper note of the thund er-pumper. White Faces and Short Horns and black aristo crats will people a hundred hills and the birds of prairie land will soar stately wing in the sun-gilded dome above.

Memory of Noah Gwyn who built beside The Frontier in the long ago and planted a tree. The heritage nanded down by John Smoot just across the street and where the Green Tree club of a van ishing generation put in the lazy hours of the long sum mer afternoon exchanging friendly banter must also van ish. The hackberries in the next block below were a regal monument to Tom Birming ham, a pioneer lumber deal er. The stalwart timber along west Douglas street waves its velvet plumage with no pi oneer sentiment bewailing its sacrifice to a great white way. those lines of trees were the hope of a later generation. The west Douglas area was he pioneer bucking grounds for the wild horses brought in o capitivity, later where the oall games were played and Gus Handlon did the Babe Ruth stuff laiming out home runs. The white way is next in the jnward sweep of time. • • • Editor Cal Stewart, though kept on the jump to keep the "fastest growing newspaper’’ growing, finds it in his warm newspaper heart to go to the aid of a fellow publisher in a tight pinch, so Stewart and 2 other North Nebraska editors went down to York July 13 to give Ben Kuroki another lift. He was struggling with the job of getting out a special edi tion of The York Republican telling the story of the flood that resulted from a 13-inch rain in York. It is a tradition of the trade and Cal is doing his darndest to promulgate an ancient and hon orable tradition. When The Frontier was bur ned out some 25 years ago the boys at the Independent took over and saw that not an issue of The Frontier lost out. * * * In the death of Dr. J. W. ! Gill, Chambers has lost not only a ministering physician who tad brought healing and com fort to many in southern Holt and adjacent counties, but one of the community’s best citiz ens. There was nothing of the spectacular or ego about the doctor, but with calm assurance he went about professional du ties that knew' no favorites and treated all alike- As a citizen of a community that stands high in the worthwhile realms of life he made not only a finan cial success but was held in large esteem for his moral worth and civic pride. * • • Any spalpeen can think up ways to spend money. Coun ty boards that supervise coun ty expenditure* are recom mended as schooling places for the spendthrifts with fists in the national tax funds. • • • Speaking of what is in store fo~ the race with such things as H-bombs turned loose, an out standing nuclear physicist at the University of Chicago, Dr. H. C. Urey, says frankly ho is scared to death, but adds he hopes the bomb doesn’t work. • • • A gent was a guest of Lin coln police the other day for having sat in his car on O street with a card stuck up in front reading, “I want to get married —how about you? And he cal led attention to passing ladies by use of the car tooter.

Holt County Board of Supervisors In this case FEELING IS BELIEVING No, the eye does not tell every thing—not in this instance. True, it tells you ROADMASTER is smart. It tells you it’s big. It shows, if you watch closely, that this brawny beauty rides level and unperturbed even when road roughness has its wheels fairly dancing. A glance may even indicate how much lolling comfort there is here —what wide-open freedom passen gers and driver know in this gay traveler. But how can the eye tell you how you feel touching off the great power that’s under this broad bonnet? How can it reveul the silken, swift-mounting surge of oil-cush ioned take-off—smooth, silky, un broken, as Dynaflow Drive works its magic? Even when you watch a ROAD MASTER settle down to a long steep pull and crest the top going away, how can it tell you what thrill your spirits get from such ability? Arid what can it say of the lift that’s yours traveling in a beauty that catches all eyes, swivels passing heads, marks you by its very lines as traveling in as line a car us any man can ask for? No, these things you have to feel for yourself, and we’re delighted to help you do so. Your Buick dealer wants you to know about ROADMASTER first hand-wants you to drive it, try it, feel it out. It doesn’t cost a cent to arrange such a trial. It can do a lot toward opening your eyes to the day’s highest standard of fine-car feel and fine-car action—not to men tion "why pay more?” prices.
