    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.
Cardinals Resume
With St. Pal's—
The St. Mary’s academy Car
dinals will open their home grid
season against St. Pat’s, Fremont,
in Carney park Friday night.
The Cards lost their opener to
Cathedral, Lincoln, 48-0.

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.
In the 50 years since the open
ing of the first theater given over
exclusively to the showing of mo
tion pictures, studios have en
countered problems and nimbly
solved them through the use of
these unsung experts. 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.
Mrs. Rasely said that a kick
off in connection with the cele
bration will be held in Lincoln
October 8. It is possible, she
said, that several movie stars will
make a personal appearance in
O’Neill following the kickoff.

CAPITOL NEWS—
Governor Won t
Summon Salons
LINCOLN—School land leases
continued to hold the statehouse
spotlight last week.
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.

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.

Confession? —Ask The [
Man Who Goes There!
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? Then write today for a free
pamphlet which gives important
information concerning them. Ask
