' ' ' Giving Us the Bird Prairieland Talk— Hurrying, Romping and Loitering Young America Goes Back to School By ROMAINE SAUNDERS LINCOLN— School bells ring again in September. Foliage on lordly trees waves in the wind, i still robed in summer green. The floral bloom of the departing sea son must merge soon into the gold and crim son leaf of au tumn. Hurry i n g. romping and loitering on the way to school goes Young America Saunders again. There are the precocious, the smart ones, the dull and backward ones, the quiet retiring ones and the bold bluffers. What a student reveals in classes and exams is not a safe guess for the future. Franklin D. Roosevelt was next to a flop at Harvard and barely squeezed through a law school. Whatever one may think of the result, scarcely a man since Lin coln has risen to the presidency of the United States who made the impression in national and world affairs left by the first New Dealer. Worthwhile or a calamity, the Roosevelt saga is without an equal in the country’s history. Now another September and life throbs in school rooms, thq one room of the district school with a half dozen students and the crowded city school rooms. Youth and childhood have come from windswept prairie, from city and town dwellings to sit at the feet of the Gamaliels. Out of this group may come men and women carrying a torch that lights the way to new achievements. All have known of the sluggard in school who in mature years was a credit to the community. Charley Jones was one such in dividual I recall who had no in terest in books and schools as they formed the educational pic ture in O’Neill in the long ago. Charley, friendly, personally charming, some how made out though he eschewed books and formal education, and the last time I saw him he was a member of the state legislature represent ing the Colfax county district. But another with the same aver sion to books and schools, Tracy Gwyn, died unmoumed in O’ Neill after a wasted and worth less life. Go to school, boys and girls! Do your level best to be a credit to the school, to the family you represent and to the community that has an interest in your suc cess. • • • A young daughter, introducing her mother to friends at a moth er-daughter function, said: “This is my mother: I had nothing to do about it, but I can choose my friends and she heads the list.” * * • Star gazers and astrologists say that a change is coming up in the polar regions, the magnetic pole taking a few steps, hence the polar star Polaris is to be re placed by another. Out of these facts or fancies conclusions are drawn that account for the earth quakes, floods, wars and the gen eral mess we fellows have made of things. Anyway, they dont blame it all on Dean Achesun. • • • World-minded men promulgat ed the one world program, mean ing a universal national setup. Churchmen toy with idea of uniting Jews and the various Christian bodies into one church. President Truman, a Baptist, fa vors the one church idea, proba bly Baptist, and one world polit ical group — Democrats. Jews, Catholics, Methodists and the others amalgamated into one. Why not include the Mohamme dans, the Brahmans, the Bud dhists and the fire eaters and the snake charmers. It has an appeal for world dreamers. If it were possible to thus corral world thought it would not be long be fore a Martin Luther, a John Knox, a Charles Wesley, a Wil liam Miller, a Cardinal Gibbons, a Billy Sunday, a Mary Barker Eddy, a Father Devine or an Amy Semple McPherson would ex plode the beautiful dream. There might well be a reduction in creed-bound groups, but a uni versal organization stifles indi vidual initiative. Diversity of thought broadens the mind and makes for soul freedom. Out of the fires of the arena came deliv erance from the thraldom of em peror worship. And. to quote from St. Paul’s letter to the Ro mans: “So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.” * * * Senator McCarthy’s visit to Lincoln was something of a flop. This crusader from Wisconsin is after the political and official hide of government functionaries he claims, and has the evidence of it at hand, are tinted with the doctrines of the reds. There has been so much accusation, so much shady performance, so much in the realm of graft, brought to light that the plain citizen has become either indifferent to it all or is convinced that his time will come at the polls to say what he thinks about it. If indifference is due to lethargy on the part of the citizens it will take a nation shaking political earthquake to arouse them to action. If once a roused you better get out from under. It is not so surprising that the fighting Irishman from Wis consin was not greeted by multi tudes; he fared fully as well in Republican Lincoln as did Presi dent Truman in Democratic Om aha. Political spellbinders are not taken seriously by this genera tion, but maybe we had better come to life else the reds beat us to it. 9 9 9 The sigh of the breeze and the swish of the trees commingle in joyous refrain, while I loll in the shade dreaming the old dream o’er. A red truck rolls tc a stop and here comes the bakery peddler with his breads and cakes and sugared things, luring my i thoughts from the forms that be longed to the days of the dear long ago, away from the regior of silence with that lost love oj mine when in green meadows wt roamed. Together we pluckec blue meadowbells, together wt gazed on the star world amazed together shared in life’s ebbim tide, together knelt at the eve ning bedside. O’ yes! The breac boy is at the door. The old mar sits and dreams. Along comes i loaf of bread and reminds him oi the life-long habit of eating. * • * A Lincoln citizen who died it 1950 left an estate valued at mort than one million dollars. He cam* to Lincoln from an out - stab small town some 20 vears ag< with a meager knowledge of th' printing trade and a large stocl of ambition. He launched int< manufacturing, and put on thi market a garden tool. From t small beginning he became th< head of one of Lincoln’s larges manufacturing plants, with largi government contracts. The estati just paid a sizable inheritance tax. An inheritance tax — wh; should federal, state or count1 governments step in and taki the earnings and accumulation: ' of an industrious citizen? Not so long ago $1.50 was theii limit. Now printers think in terms of billions. A “b” mat slid down the channel for the operat or instead of an “m” and made out that there were a half billion American men and women turn ed out last year with degrees by the colleges and universities of the country. That’s more gents and ladies than in all of America, but as billions have become the common denominator at present the intelligent compositor and astute proof reader are alike ex cusable. • * • A Winnebago Indian, killed in action with American troops in Korea, refused burial in a Sioux City cemetery because he was not a white man. He was man enough to take his place with the American army. Washington civil and military officials were aroused over the action of the cemetery officials and placed the Arlington na tional cemetery at the disposal of the dead soldier's relatives where they buried their dead. * * * Lincoln’s mayor, whose name has a Scandinavian flavor, an as set in an election for state of fices, is said to be grooming for the Republican nomination for governor. Yearling Steers Hit $37.25 Top There were around 600 hogs on the Thursday, August 30, sale held at the O’Neill Livestock Market.
