But if deaths from this one disease had continued at the rate of 50 years ago— before there was any organized, nationwide campaign against tuber culosis—the toll would have been more than twice as great. In other words, the tuberculosis control program in the United States may be credited with saving more than five million lives. Organized opposition to TB dates back to 1904 when the Na tional Tuberculosis association was formed. Today there are 3,000 state and local associations affiliated with the national. In coopera tion with official health departments, they fight tuberculosis on four fronts—health education, case finding by means of the tubercu lins test and chest X-ray, rehabilitation and medical research. No war was ever waged without funds, and the wax against TB is no exception. And so, each yeax axound the holiday season, we are asked to buy and use Christmas seals, which are the sole support of the tuberculosis association in counties, states and na tion. Of every dollar collected for Christmas seals in this community, 54 cents help finance TB and health programs in our own county. Forty cents goes toward statewide programs of benefit to every county. The remaining six cents goes to the National Tuberculosis association to help pay costs of the nationwide educational program and of research to find new ways of treating and wiping out the killer TB. We dread to think of what would have happened had there been no campaign against tuberculosis. We dare not contemplate a future without the safeguards provided by that campaign. We can ,help to make our future safe by buying and using Christmas seals.

Leidy O’NEILL PHONE 410 Scene Stealer PRAIRIELAND TALK Diamond in Rough’ Is How Minister Referred to Late Bennet Martin By ROMAINE SAUNDERS LINCOLN—Burl Martin was another child of pioneers of Holt county whose lifeless form I look ed upon recently as it lay straigh tened for the grave. Burl had been living for many years on 48th and j Normal boulevard in Lincoln. _____________ having come to the capital city from1 O’Neill in young manhood and now, after more than three score years functioning in the activities of life, he has been gathered unto his fathers. Long years ago I sat in a crowded church j in O’Neill when Romaine Saunders friends gathered for the funeral of Bonnet Martin, the father of Burl and the long time resident and respected Martin family. The speaker at that large gathering for burial rites spoke of the dead as one who had been a diamond in -the rough. No more fitting epitaph could have been suggested, and for Burl what can be said? The funeral was held Novem ber 20 in a downtown mortuary chapel with many friends in at tendance. An Alabama preacher bot tles a sermon or religious pub lication, corks the bottles and tosses them into a stream. He receives hundreds of letters from people contacted by his novel way of preaching. • • * The weather visitation that ov erwhelmed the plains state two years ago has been duplicated in the region from Ohio to the At lantic, from New England to Florida. New York City was shak en by winds that attained velocity of 100-miles-per-hour weather bureau reports stated. Prairieland dwellers think we know some thing about wind but no 100-per blow comes this way. • • • New York City still has its horse shows to which bored so ciety dames arrayed with dangling earrings, diamond i chokers, furs and frills, turn out to see the prancing nags and show off their own finery. • • • Lady Douglas, of California, | took her defeat like a Spartan. Scott Lucas, of Illinois, was so mad over election returns he nearly took a bite from the end of his nose. All contests, political or oth erwise, bring forth trimphant shouts from the winners and wails of woe from the losers. Other Editors (From The Neligh News) Probably the most surprising news item of last week is the fact that the brunt of the sea son’s first storm missed O’Neill. O’Neill, which has become the storm capital of the United States through the typewriter and microphone of The Frontier's Cal Stewart, has not missed a storm as long as we can remem ber. This business of O’Neill hav ing the storms, or at least mak ing well-known the fact that they have had one, caused many “letters to editors” last year, and the year before that, from north east Nebraskans who were posi tive that storms in their towns had been just as severe. It was with some disgust that one critic, a Nelighite, picked up a paper a few weeks ago to read the headline “O’Neill Has First Snowfall.” “Wouldn’t you know it,” was his comment. I~ow, however, O’Neill has been overthrown and Pittsburg gets 1950’s storm laurels. It is indeed a sad day in O’Neill. “Voice of The Frontier,” Mon., Wed., Sat., 9:45 a. m. Methodist Bazaar a ‘Big Success’ EWING—The Woman’s Socie ty of Christian Service, of the Ewing Methodist church, held its annual bazaar on Wednesday af ternoon, November 29, at the church parlors. There were many pieces of fancywork in charge of Mrs. Wil liam Spence, Mrs. Jessie Angus, and Mrs. Sis Ebbengaard. Many aprons of different styles were on display at the booth in the care of Mrs. J. L. Pruden and Mrs. Lee Woods. | The country store with its home canned goods, home-baked products, vegetables, flower bulbs and many other articles kept Miss Anna Van Zandt, Mrs. Leland Welke, Mrs. Lee Wood and Mrs. Florence Butler very busy. The grab bag was a popular feature of the bazaar in charge of Mrs. Andrew Olson and Mrs. Henry Fleming. It contained wrapped packages valued at 5 cents to 30 cents. Funds received from the sale of chenille flowers made by Mrs. Henry Fleming and the statuettes made by Mrs. Andrew Olson are I to be applied on a carpet fund. The society is planning to pur chase a carpet for the church. Funds from the sale of Christ mas cards and jell concentrate, are also added to this fund. Refreshments of sandwiches, pie and coffee were served by Mrs. R. G. Rockey, Mrs. John Wunner, Mrs. A. H. Marquardt and Mrs. Waldo Davis. The booths were all well pat ronized and the money realized will be added to the treasury to carry on routine expenses of the church. America's largest and finest low-priced car S See if SATURDAY!
