George Hammond, “Voice of The Frontier” announcer, was on hand with the special events un it and had a chat with Mr. and Mrs. Parker, Maurice Graham, Rev. M. H. Grosenbach, pastor of nearby Center Union church, and Mrs. Thomas. The tape-re corded interviews were rebroad east on the Wednesday, Novem ber 21, '“Voice” program (WJAG, 780 kc, 3:45 a.m.) Mrs. Thomas is the former Nel lie Harrison, who has lived in northern Holt virtually all of her life. Her husband originally came from Virginia. Their eldest son, Estel, who is married, lives nearby and has been of great help to his folks. Robert was stricken July 26, 1950. He was treated for a time at Hot Springs, S.D., and was subsequently transferred to Min neapolis. He was an agriculture student at South Dakota State college, Brookings, when TB ap peared. “Bob” is a World War II veteran. Vonda, who was to have been an O’Neill high school junior in the 1951-’52 term, went to the Kearney hospital September 15. And little more than a month later Mr. Thomas was admitted to the TB hospital. What accounts for the incidence of TB in the family is not established. Thrpe of the Thomas girls are teaching school. The Thomases have been re siding on the present place 3 years. Previously they resided farther to the northeast. Ironically, the Thomas TB sto ry gets the spotlight as the annual sale of tuberculosis Christmas seals gets underway. "The TB disease is no respecter of persons,” said Miss Bernadette Brennan, Holt drive chairman. "We need your help!"

Out of Old Nebraska. . . Brick - Making Lagged Lumber By DR. JAMES C. OLSON Supl. State Historical Society The pioneer towns of territorial Nebraska created a heavy de mand for building materials of all sorts. Prior to the coming of the railroad, all building material that could not be produced lo cally had to be brought up the Missouri river by steamboat. This was expensive as well as slow, and very early the Nebras- j ka pioneers made strenuous ef forts to supply their building ma terial locally insofar as possible. The sawmills discussed in an earlier column developed to meet this demand. Another type of building ma terial in demand in Nebraska was brick, although local suppliers do not seem to have developed so rapidly in this field as they did in the lumber business. At least in 1860 the territory had only one brick-making establishment sig nificant enough to be listed in the federal census of that year. It was located in Cass county. II had a capital investment of $250, employed 6 men and produced $600 worth of bricks per year. Thoiigh this establishment was small enough, I would hazard the guess that other Nebraska com munities also had brick makers during the 1850's. Many of the early concerns were very small and burned only enough for a few buildings. On occasion, a kiln would be improvised in or der to burn brick for a single building. By 1870, the industry had pick ed up considerably. Federal cen sus of that year shows a total of 17 brick-making establishments in the new state of Nebraska. They employed 109 persons, to whom they paid a total of $20, 874 in annual wages. The total capital value of the industry in the state was $22, 900, and the annual value of the brick amounted to $61,865. There is some discrepancy in the figures reported in the cen sus of 1870. The breakdown by ! counties accounts for only 10 of the 17 establishments listed in the general statement covering the industry. Of these, 3 each were in Dakota and Richardson counties, and two each in Dodge and Douglas. The county enumeration, for example seems to have missed the brick-making industry flour ishing in Nebraska City. At least in the summer of 1865, more than 1,000 cords of wood were piled up there ready for use in burning brick, and the Nebras ka City News estimated that sev eral million bricks would be burned during the season. Building stone was available in certain Sections of Nebraska, and some of the brick-making establishments also dealt in that commodity. Little Theatre Group Meets Saturday— EWING— The Little Theatre group wil lhol da meeting at the Legion hall, Saturday, November 24, at 8 p.m. A Walter Ben Mare play, lhe Adventures of Grandpa," will be cast for late December presenta tion.
