Holt Hay Has Gone to Ft. Robinson
By Carload - Now Black Heifers
By ROMA1NE SAUNDERS
LINCOLN — Holt county hay
has been shipped by the carload
up to Ft. Robinson to feed the
army mules. Now a shipment of
black heifers is taken out of the
county and sent up to the experi
ment setup out that way for “re
search work." I
have asxed cat
tlewise patriots
what this re
search stuff is
all about, only
to get a shrug
of the shoulder,
as much as to
say, “Don’t ask
me."
But maybe
these official
researchers can
do something
Saunders to subdue
the belligerent
nature of the Angus beef breed.
“And if thou said I am not peer
to any lord in Scotland here . . .
Lord Angus, thou lied!”
It was alright for the haughty
Marmion to cast that into the
teeth of Douglas. But you can’t
“talk’’ like that with a branding
iron to a polled Angus cow. After
you have run the brand on and
removed the ropes, get out of the
way or that cow will knock the
daylights out of you. Can’t blame
her for that. With a burnt hide
she’s mad. The reds and roans
and white faces take it philosoph
ically, get up and hitail it out of
the danger zone.
A black one gets up and comes
at you as much as to say, What
do you fellows think you are do
ing! And you make for the cor
ral fence.

When the Pilgrims harvested
their first crop, Governor Brad
ford set aside a day for prayer,
expressions of gratitude for ma
terial blessing and a dinner.
What that first Thanksgiving
dinner consisted of seems to
have been forgotten in the pass
ing of time. A week hence we
Nebraskans will feed to the full
on prairieland’s best. At an early
day in O’Neill it was all open
prairie east of Fifth street and
that was converted into a turkey
shooting ground. Turkeys were
placed in traps with only the
heads visible, these traps were
placed about where Seventh
street is now laid out. At the
Fifth and Douglas streets, Gus
Hand Ion, Ed Hershiser, Mike
Tierney, John Nolan and others
of the village patriots lined up
with their Winchester rifles and
one by one turkey heads were
shot off. The day at other times
was the occasion for wolf hunts.
Football was tame stuff. Orig
inally Thanksgiving day had
religious significance and does
yet in isolated communities.
In view of the growing '
American sentiment to “draft” !
him for president it would ap
pear that General Eisenhower
j owes it to his countrymen to get
off the political fence and declare
himself either a democrat or a
republican. . No military leader
appeals to prairieland patriots
as their choice of a national
leader. The general is said to
have done “a grand job" in Eu
roe. I wonder. The world pic
ture does not disclose anything
very grand which the distin
guished of earth are doing. The
grand job is being done by you
and your neighbors whose homes
are the refuge from life’s cares,
the center of family interests,
love and devotion; where are
found the men and women who
fear God, support their country,
do the world’s work, represent
the industrial, cultural and re
ligious interests that make for
stability of society. Look there
for the ones who do the “grand
job.”

They have taken our boys,
now they ask for our blood. It is
freely given, not to kill but to
give life. If there was some way
to drain the life-blood of those
who are responsible for this mon
strous thing that brings death
and ruin to supply blood banks '
for the wounded and broken
bodies on the battlefields, maybe
the significance of it all would
be brought home to the warlords.
Clouds veil the sun and the
heavens weep as if the celestial ‘
light would withdraw from the
scene of man’s folly, man’s blood
lust. The world is freed of one
monster and on the stage steps
another. The spirits of the mur
derous Neros, the Kerods, the
Jezebels, the Attilas, the Huns
and the Vandals live on in our
supposed enlightened age and :
there is neither statesmanship,
religious leadership nor military 1
might that can rid the world of
the shadow of the evil genius
that wrecks the peace of nations.

Rykov, Lenin, Trotsky and
Kamnev are a few who lost fa
vor with Joe Stalin and also .
lost their heads. Those closest to
the big guys aren’t in the great
est danger. A word may send !
the officials who thought he was |
sitting on the top to the firing
squad or exile him to Siberia.
The American guarantee of life
carries with it maybe a some
what abused freedom to say ,
what we think of the dog catch- .
er, governor or president. We
adhere to various religious and
political principals, remaining (
the while, warm personal friends.
Oh sometimes neighbors fight,
but that’s just a Yankee free
dom.
As you travel the hot des
erts of the southwest you
wonder if there is not some
use they can be put to. The
army has found it an experi
ment station for touching off
atomic bombs.

Mrs. Fern Hubbard-Orme, off
the verdant prairielana of Holt
county, now a citizen of Lin
coln and the only woman mem
ber of the city council votes her
convictions unmoved by her male
colleagues composing the city’s
governing body. And at times
she casts the one dissenting
vote. When a petition is before
the council in which some gent
—and sometimes a woman—ap
plies for a license to disperse
firewater, Mrs. Orme’s may be
the only negative vote. Holt
county has always been the
background for prairiaiand peo
ple who got a start up there to
vote their convictions.

A banker takes over as chair
man of the democratic national
committee. In accepting the job
he pointed out things in the fair
deal setup that makes him blush,
indicating that his efforts will be
to correct political abuses within
the democratic realm. It is some
thing that Mr. McKinney, the
new national chairman, doesn’t
like the looks of, and while the
task may appear hopeless he
will have credit for sensing the
wrongs and putting forth efforts
to make a cleanup.

Project Club Officers
Attend Training Meeting—
The newly-elected women’s
project club officers for 1952 at
tended their annual training
meeting Friday, November 9, at
the O’Neill courthouse. Mrs.
Neil Wright and Miss Helen,
Becker of the state extension of
fice, and T. R. Dappen, of the
state health department, were
on hand to conduct the meeting.
Each year a training meeting
is held in the county for the pur
pose of familiarizing the new of
ficers with their jobs. This year
over 70 officers were present.
They represented a total of 23
clubs which are scattered
throughout the county.
The morning get-together was

pen and Miss Becker discussing
health. Mr. Dappen was here to
set up committees to sponsor the
tuberculosis mobile X-ray unit
which will be in the county in
December and January. The unit
is in Boyd county at the present
and will move directly into Holt
county'. The members unani
mously agreed to sponsor this
project.
A continuation of the blood

origin in the Stuart clubs, was
discussed. The need for a full
time public health nurse in the
county and the war against bru

group.
In the afternoon the group was

fices for special training in that
office.

Low-Down on a high -powered Performer
_ O
Let us tell you this:
The Buick pictured here packs more power
than you find in any other car of its size and
room and price.
That's the power of Buick's newest high
compression valve-in-head eight —the F-263
Fireball Engine, that really gets miles from a
gallon of gas.
Add to this the fact that it tips the scales at
3817 pounds curbside —and you begin to see
why this big-powered beauty is such a nimble
footed number out on the road.
But that’s only Chapter I of the performance
story.
There’s a big-car feel to the way this trim
traveler covers the ground—hugs the curves
—holds its course on the straightaway—
smothers the humps with its big soft coil
springs on all four wheels.
There’s big-car room inside—six-passenger
room—headroom, hiproom, shoulderroom,
kneeroom, front and back.
Q °
Taw# to HFNffY J. TAYLOR, ABC Notwork. owry Monday owning.
Come in, look it over, and we think you’ll
agree—it’s big in everything but price.
And that’s where it really shines. If you’ve
shopped around you’ll know what we mean
when you read the price tags, and what they
include in the way of standard equipment
that shows up as “extras” on so many others.
Such things as an oil filter, air cleaner, vacuum
booster, built-in summer ventilation are all
yours at no extra charge.
It’s hard to believe but it’s true. If you can
afford a new car, you can afford this Buick at
the prices we’re quoting today.
Better come in and look this smart buy over.
