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.

Before It’s Forever Too Late Original
Crowd Should Gather for Love Feast
By ROMAINE SAUNDERS
LINCOLN — It is something
like 5 yeans ago that the moth
er of Mrs. Ruth Rhodes and
Ralph Evans was brought to
O'Neill for burial beside her
husband, the late Wes Evans,
the popular hotel man of a fast
fading generation. 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. Pagans have arrayed
themselves against other pa
gans, early Christianity arose
out of blood and fire of pagan
altars to later become fiends
themselves at persecution.
Breaking up into groups ev
eryone thought the other fel
low was a devil.
Now a great force has a
risen ostensibly to crush the
republican form of govern
ment into the earth, but ac
tually to wipe out the Chris
tian religion.
Some hope is seen now for
amenity among the some hun
dreds of religious groups since
the movement in recent years

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

every nation shakes the fist of

Statisticians say the younp

make the world over. Of 95 Ne
braska and Iowa boys given
the acid test for military ser

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

[ 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.
