PAGE 2.—Thurs., Feb. 1. 1951. | Editorial & Business Offices: 122 South Fourth Street O’NEILL. NEBR. CARROLL W. STEWART, Editor and Publisher Established in 1880— Published Each Thursday Entered the postoffice at O’Neill, Holt county, Nebraska, as sec ond-class mail matter under the Act of Congress of March 3, 1879. This newspaper is a member of the Nebraska Press Association, National Editorial Association and the Audit Bureau of Circulations. Terms of Subscription: In Nebraska, $2.50 per year; elsewhere in the United States, $3 per year; abroad, rates provided on request. All subscriptions are strictly paid-in-advance. Protecting the Public Public welfare and the rights of the individual citizen are giv en little consideration in a bill introduced in the legislature, accord ing to A. C. Gardner, former president of the Nebraska Press asso ciation and present chairman of the press legislative committee. LB 145 would limit all legal notices relating to actions or events that have taken place to only one insertion and all notices of con templated actions such as execution sales, notices to defendants, court hearings and many others would be limited to three insertions. The Nebraska Press association favors continnance of present laws which adjust the number of publications to the importance of the action. Many notices are now published only once, such as city ordi nances, notices of election and proceedings of official bodies. Oth ers, usually dealing with small purchases are published twice. Most notices in connection with the settlement of estates are published three times. The law as proposed by the judicial council would not provide for three publications of all notices. In actual practice, it would re duce to 15 days the time necessary to notify a man that his farm, home or business building was being sold at sheriff’s sale. A fellow might take a 15-day vacation and come home to find that his home had been sold out from under him. Under the present law, 30 days notice is required. The proposed law would also reduce the time on other very important transfers of property. There are now hundreds of laws governing public notices. Each of them was passed after careful consideration, to protect the peo ple’s interest adequately under many different situations. More no tice was found necessary in some cases, less notice in others. The protection of the public is more important than the con venience of the lawyers or publishers, Mr. Gardner contends. The Nebraska Press association believes present laws should be continued as they are, and opposes any attempt to standardize them. x x a Satire on the License Plates Reed also thinks it could have B1C3W for Blair’s third ward in duced an excellent piece of satire pertaining to the strange new li cense-plate designations in Nebraska. Recently, O’Hanlon dwelt at length on the confusion which could reign over the difficulty in reading the markers. He suggest ed his new plate now reading W1984A could easily include the state in the letter-designation and read NW1984A. It could also carry the township—in Reed’s case DeSoto—to be abbreviated to “DeStwp” and make the plate read NWDeStwpl894A. Reed also thinks it cauld have BIC3W for Blair’s third ward in which he lives, making the plate read NWDeStwpBlC3W1894A. And why not the street address, too, suggests O’Hanlon, with the observation that the plate could be tied around the car and wired to the door handles. He thinks 103 East Grant street could be added and the plate would then be NWDeStwpBlC3W103GS1984A. As a clincher, he suggests . . . “an alert minion of the law, would save himself a lot of trouble if he ever caught up with a A New "Closed Door" Policy - -■ .:>.2 ■_I Young Physician Coming to Stuart STUART—On Wednesday, Jan uary 24, a committee from the Community club met with Dr. M.
