Eagles Topple Burwell, 19-6 In their 3d start of the season. Coach Marv Miller’s O’Neill high Eagles manufactured a win. They lampooned the Burwell Long horns, 19-6, on the Carney park grid. The Eagles were exhibiting a more aggressive brand of ball against Burwell than shown in earlier games. They converted •coring opportunities into points in handy fashion. The first marker resulted early in the game. O’Neill had kicked to Burwell, the Blues recovered a Longhorn fumble, and Halfback Don Calkins was sprung into pay territory from the 10. His booted try for point hit a goal post. Later in the period, O'Neill kicked to Burwell, wrested the ball from the visitors and hammered across 6 more with Calkins skirting his own left end from the 20. His kick was good. Before the first half ended, Burwell completed a long pass in to the end zone, making the score 13-6 at intermission. The second half was see-saw, with Burwell holding a distinct advantage in rushing. But the Horns couldn’t score again. In Burwell’s last-minute desperation pass, O’Neill halfback Don Godel intercepted and streaked down the sidelines from about 30 yards out and scored. Eddie Tomlinson, O’Neill full back, was a defensive power. He was executing some vicious tac kles. The Eagles go to Creighton Friday night. Hartington high rocked Creighton, 39-6.

Movie Stars May Come to O'Neill— Hollywood is full of unsung heroes. They never get their names on marquees, or even on the screens, but the pictures couldn’t be made without them.

The anon ymous heroes of the silver screen were described— with appropri ate bows—here today by Georgia Rasely, manager of the Royal theater, one of the more-than 23,000 movie theaters in the country which will celebrate the golden jubilee of movie theaters through “Movietime, USA,” na tionwide film jamboree which will see release of the greatest films from every Hollywood stu dio in a continuing stream start ing in October.

Biggest development was the turndown given representatives of the Nebraska Leaseholders as sociation by Gov. Val Peterson. He was asked to call a special session of the legislature and ask it to change the law to provide that a lessee whose lease was up f9r auction would be given the right to keep it, so long as he paid as much as the highest bid. That, said Assistant-Attorney General Bob Nelson, is unconsti tutional. He reminded the callers that the very heart of the su preme court’s decision, which started the whole fuss in the first place, was that the state board of educational lands and funds is merely a trustee for the lands which are held in trust for the school children of Nebraska. If the board doesn’t do everything it can to get as much revenue from the lands as possible, then it’s not doing its duty, Nelson said. me leaseholders — t,. 1^. iNei man, of McCook, C. H. Schaaf, of Curtis, and Henry Anderson of Eustis—were hard to convince. They—like a lot of angered holders of leases which turned almost overnight into scraps of paper—are bewildered. They don’t quite see how this happened to them. Neiman com plained to the governor: “The state of Nebraska should be more careful when it gives a man a lease.” Some lessees have suggested that the board could wait until the 12-year leases have expired before taking action. The answer to that, as Peterson has pointed out on several occasions, is that the Nebraska state education as sociation and others interested in the welfare of the state’s school kids, would rush to court to man damus the board to comply with the supreme court ruling. • • • Implications in Basin Report— A report was released here this week that has tremendous implications for every Nebraskan. It is a preliminary draft of a study made for the Missouri riv er states committee by the coun cil of state governments. It con cludes that the best solution of the problem of operating the Mis souri basin’s water program is “the establishment of a modified interstate compact in which the states of the basin and the fed eral government join as active participants.” The document, written by El ton K. McQuery, director of re search for the council of state governments, used 3 yardsticks against which he measured the effectiveness of alternate plans of .T operating the multi-million dol lar basin water program, being developed under the Pick-Sloan and Young plans. These are the yardsticks: 1. Basin-wide coordination of operation. 2. Joint federal-state direction and control. 3. Utilization o f established agencies. The present organization, un der which the corps of engineers and bureaus of reclamation is re sponsible for the operation of the development program, flunked the tests on yardsticks 1 and 2, passed on No. 3. The Hoover commission recom mendations, calling for a drastic overhaul of the department of in terior, passed number 1, failed 2 and 3. The proposed Missouri Valley authority, of course, passed the first yardstick, but failed to mea sure up on 2 and 3. • ♦ * Complex Problems— “The high degree of flexibility that the compact approach offers is one of its chief advantages,” McQuery wrote, “It can be mould ed to fit a wide variety of condi tions to fill a comlex pattern of needs.” Here’s how McQuery measures the compact approach against his yardsticks: Number 1: “In the base of the Missouri basin, the region in volved is so vast that 10 states are included in whole or in part within its boundaries. If the states are to exercise a measure of real direction and control, it is necessary tnat a legal instrument be devised that is binding on all the states that are parties. Number 2: “Joint federal-state participation, perhaps, can best be achieved by conditional ratifica tion by the states of a carefully negotiated compact. The condi tion upon which complete ratifi cation would hinge might be pas sage by the federal government of complimentary legislation pro viding for federal participation. Number 3: “The effective work ing relationships that have been established (among exsting fed eral agencies) should not be dis rupted.” McQuery suggests a Missouri basin commission to be given responsibility in two broad fields: Reservoir operation and planning. Chambers Rebekahs Are Coming— Eden Rebekah lodge met Fri day, September 21, with 24 mem bers present. A special program was held ob serving the 100th year of Rebekah lodges.

Treasurer Files Answer to Suit (Continued from pageA) In district 231. Hancock ad* mits the district is an element* ary school district classified as class I, has had an enrollment of less than 5 pupils for the years 1949. '50 and '51. He further admits that the property was taxed as alleged, and that the amount, as stated in Peterson’s petition, is correct. In his answer Hancock states he “intends to and will, unless ordered by the court to refrain, perform his duties under the statutes.” Hancock prays that “the court declare and determine the valid ity of the statute of Nebraska law, sections 79-438.01 to .07, as ( amended, which relate to the blanket tax law.” He further prays that “he, the county treasurer, be afforded re lief from uncertainty and inse curity with respect to his rights and other legal relations under the statutes to persons, generally, upon whose property the tax has been levied.” o Observers say that Feterson’s charges are aimed , directly at the law itself, to test its validity, and that both the petition and answer are basic in the matter, which will be hustled to the su preme court. In the normal procedure of law, Hancock would issue a dis tress warrant on Peterson’s un paid balance. In recent years expanding / farm and ranch units have de populated rural sections and in many instances resulted in aban doning of schools. No school has been kept in district 231 for a number of years, and because there are no school financial re quirements within the district, Peterson is protesting paying the “blanket” tax. Attorney - General Clarence Beck and Holt County Attorney William W. Griffin prepared Hart cock’s answer; Julius D. Cronin, of O’Neill, and Daniel Stubbs, of Lincoln, are attorneys for Peter son. ENROUTE TO U. S. STUART—Cpl. Andy Hytrek, of Stuart, is enroute back to the United States, according to f word received by his wife.

Catholics go to Confession to a priest for one reason only: to obtain divine for giveness for their sins. But why, you ask, go to a priest? Why not confess our sins directly to God? Ask the man who goes to Confession and here’s what he will tell you: Sin is an offense against God, it must be forgiven by God. It is God, not man, who determines how forgiveness must be obtained. Christ plainly pointed this out when He empowered His Apostles and their successors to for give sins or to refuse forgiveness. "Whose sins you shall forgive, Christ said, "they are forgiven them; whose sins you shall retain, they are retained.” (John 20:21 -23). Thus Christ authorized the Apos tles, and their successors, to pardon or to deny pardon as they judged the sinner worthy or unworthy. To do this they had to know what they were forgiving... the secret dis positions of the sinner... his sor row and willingness to repair the wrong done to his neighbor by his sins. Who could make this known but the sinner himself—and what is this but Confession? V But Confession—the Sacrament of Penance —is only one of the seven Sacraments Christ left in His Church. Yes, seven —no more and no less! Christ’s religion is not merely a message to be accepted, I I > but a life to be lived—from the cradle to the grave. Christ’s seven Sacraments are the answer to man’s seven basic needs. Man is born, but he needs to be reborn a Christian in the Sacrament of Baptism. He is nourished, but he needs Christian nourishment in Holy Communion, the Sacrament of the Eucharist. He grows, but he needs to grow and be strengthened in Christian life by the Sacrament of Confirmation. He is cured of disease, but he needs a remedy for sin, so destructive of Chfisti^n life, and this he finds in the Sacrament of Penance. Man lives in society which needs officials to promote the common good — and for his life in the Church, he finds officials provided by the Sacrament of Orders. He perpetuates the human race in marriage, which Christ made the Sacrament of Matrimony. And at death, he needs consolation and strength for the last dread hour f which he finds in the Last Anoint ing—the Sacrament of Extreme Unction. Would you like to know more about each of the seven Sacra ments? How they can help you to meet the seven basic needs of your life?
