All subscriptions are strictly paid-in-advance._ The Korean War The Korean war became a grim reality to Holt county citizens last week when the draft board announced that 56 selective ser vice registrants from this county would be called during the month of August for pre-induction physical examinations. To many Americans the war to date has been a nuisance and inconvenience, more than anything else. Some prices have risen and rumors of shortages in the supply of various commodities have been disturbing. Thousands have so far forgotten their es sential dignity as human beings as to resort to panic-buying and hoarding of sugar, soap, auto tires, etc. The Korean war has affected all our lives sufficiently to make us aware that "there is a war on,” but when the demands of the military begin leaving gaps in our family circles, then the extremity of the situation begins really to make itself known. Wo predict that the American people will buckle down with their charateristic thoroughness and earnestness to the job they have to do, and get it over with all possible dispatch and efficien cy. Foreign aggressors are again about to be treated to a demon stration of what that American “get-it-done” spirit can accom plish. And hoarders, we expect, and any other who detract from the war effort, are going to be far more unpopular during the course of this war than they were last. Aleady plans are reported underway to penalize selfishness and greed as exemplified by hoarding and war profiteering. To those families who will be called upon to send one or more of their loved ones to actual combat service go our wholehearted understanding and our pledge of help and cooperation.

Recently Ruth was brought heie to be buried where her father and mother lie on Prospect Hill. Not manv are left in O’Neill who were here when Ruth was a child with golden hair, the town’s most popular little beauty and the envy of many little girls. I saw Ruth last at her mothers funeral and found the charm of •childhood had Romania bloomed into Saunders womanly graces that the years march ing on to life’s sunset seemed to accentuate. And so the onward sweep of time leaves to those who are left only the memory of those who have gone before. And then we sometimes won der why the inexorable hand of death is laid upon a splendid | citizen like John Melvin and | roughnecks and rowdies live on. I always enjoyed a chat with 1 John when visiting O’Neill. His little store was a place of friendly contact and cus tomers found John pleasant, helpful and courteous. | He had no aspirations to be classed with “big business" but in an unassuming way gave at tention to his small business and with Mrs. Melvin maintain ed pleasant, unhurried and con tented home life. , Maybe before it is forever too late those left of the O'Neill crowd of the long ago should get together and have a love feast. • • • We had holed up for the night in a small town in the grass country and left early in the morning without eating , but had with us some campers’ provisions- A few miles out we pulled into the barn yard of an old friend to say hello and move oti Jim came from the barn with a pail of milk and 1 after greetings invited us in to , breakfast. We have a lunch l with us, I told him. “Lunch hell! You’re going to have breakfast with us.” * • • Noting that evolutionists trace their ancestry back to a tribe that hangs by their tails a fundamentalist remarks that | they say nothing about those who hung by their necks. Frontier want ads bring re sults. On political and religious fa naticism hangs the shameless guilt of much of the world’s turmoil.

The term Protestant is a mis nomer. If the Protestant church fills its mission it is not pro testing but inviting. The term Catholic is univer sal only in a limited sense. Catholic and other Christian groups compose less than one third of the population of the globe. On the political front parti son jockeying holds up much official action and just about every nation shakes the fist of wickedness at the other fellow They tell us these are “contro versial’ subjects. Maybe there had better be some rag chewing instead of so much shooting. • • • Statisticians say the younp generation is going to live long er, enjoy better health and make the world over. Of 95 Ne braska and Iowa boys given the acid test for military ser vice the other day, only 37 were found mentally and physical ly fit Young men now have their shower bath, shave with an electric razor, eat at cafes, live in steam-heated rooms in winter, have a late model car to whisk them on an er rand a block away, work 6 or 8 hours a day for 5 days, have countless contrivances to minimise physical effort and contribute to bodily de flciwcy. The tough oldtimer ate corn bread, washed his feet in a bucket, worked 10 or 12 hours a day, never heard of vaca | tion on full pay, sat up nights [ with a sick neighbor, waii al ways ready to help a friend or stranger, and would knock the block off any gent that got fresh with him; rubbed Sloan’s liniment on rheumatic joints , and lived to a good old age.
