Three days later a strange character of the genus homo in a Lincoln suburb was taken to Kansas and consigned to mother earth. Senator Kenneth Wheery was the most outstanding Nebraskan of this generation, made so by reason of hi^ position in the United States senate and the further reason that he had re markable gifts in personality, vigorous mind and untiring energy. The strange character who ift the age of 79 came to the end siapuneg of the trail per haps had abili uca t-4uui tu uiiy mail, L'uuege end (University degrees that set jim above the crowd, and yet he was a city street sweeper. With his brush and push cart he was seen day-by-day, humped and old, cjjrty and unkempt, going a bout the streets gathering the dift and rubbish iftto heaps for street cleaning truckers to pick up. He had not always been so and his educated ability was once in de mand. Then came that devouring first world wgr into which this man was drawn and came out a victim of gas attacks—a living wreck no longer able to move a mong men as the equal of any. But maybe street sweeping is also necessary. • • • Ten years ago tonight as I write, Tom Baker down by Am lia came to our home to tell us that Pearl Harbor had been bombed by the Japs and the story was coming in by radio. He invited Mrs. Saunders an$ me to come with him and hear it. Hav mg a son in coasi guara service in Honolulu at that time, we went vith Mr. Baker and spent the evening at the old Riley Bros, ranch while the chilling story came in over the air. And then President Roosevelt took over to tell the country we were in war with Nippon. We hQ^rd nothing from our son for some weeks but finally a letter came through that he was OK on active duty but had one close call when bul lets landed in his bunk. That night touched off the blood let ting that ran a crimson stream a cross the earth. The Japs were brought to their knees but much >f our military establishment is ;till there. And now comes a call « draft 55,000 more young Amer icans to 3hare in the Slood let ting. The history of the race is written in human blood and beat Dut on the anvil of envy and ha tred. Must envy and hatred and butchery live forever? • * • Parents are charged with being responsible for the juvenile de linquency that is worrying the public. And they can well take it to heart. In too many cases when kids become smart alecks and turn to evil ways, in place of correcting them and seeking to "train up the child in the way he should go" they take the opposite ° course which eventually leads to criminal acts on the part of their off spring. • • • Ten editors have come up with what they think has been the fbiggest scientific news a} the year. Opinions vary from pmic fighting machines to discovy of new things for healing the is of mankind. Such terms asihese that most of us are unfeiiliar with are used by the editor with impunity: Steroid, honone, cortisone, antigens, synthep and a lot of others. It has ale been divulged that mother’s mk can lick the viruses of enc#halitis and yellow fever. Let’s ell that the biggest news. And alog with that the year has brough a re markable demonstration hat the milk of human kindness tis flow ed in abundance. The siffering and loss of victims of Kansas and Missouri floods so appealed to our people on prairieland and elsewhere that there has been generous outpouring to alleviate the distress. Neighbors, too, have come to the help of some afflict-! ed or unfortunate ones among them. I wonder if this spirit of giving a lift does not transcend the discoveries of science and all > other inventions. * • * With an air of opulence we used lo hand the fair waitxess a two-bit piece, now handing out a dollar for a plate of potatoes and canned corrt the girl that serves the tables has to make out some ^ay on what the nig gardly boss pays her. * • • The clergy have us trained so we go to church to say our pray ers—if we are the praying kind. There was a Man 2,000 years ago who went up and down the dusty roads healing the sick, restoring sight to the blind and raising xo life the dead who drew a lesson from thost robed ecclesiatistics who gathered in the market places and temple court to pray by saying . . . “When thou pray est enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door pray to thy Father which is in gecret, and thy Father which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.” • • • What holds the small town down to the one-horse status more than anything else is the local enmity that exists among rival factions and individuals. Two gents in business on the same street are not only not on speaking terms but do all they can to injure the other, and each has a following, and sisters in lodges and churches wave the red flag at each other. • * • It has been the custom in Yankeeland to sort of regard the Tent of 70 or more as pretty much of a hasbeen. Not so with the honored American Medical asso ciation. To this group of distin guished citizens an 84-year-old Indiana physician who has been practiciing medicine since 1903 is the notable family doctor of the year. • * * The 3d verse of the 7th chapter of the gospel of Matthew is rec ommended to the consideration of politicians down in Washington: “And why beholdest thou the moteothat is in thy brother’s eye, bi^ considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?” * * • Braille, the writing of the blind, is now in 85 languages and is the means of reading for 7 mil lion sightless people of the world. A publishing house in Lincoln turns out quantities of reading matter in braille for the blind all over the country. * * * Out of the lowly corn cob a 4 million dollar plant down at Omaha is extracting furfural at a fraction of the $1.50 an ounce once paid for the imported stuff. • • • quoting a newspaper neacnine, "Truman’s Administration Made History,” a wag adds “So did Jesse James’ Prill Takes Basic at Camp Roberts — PAGE—Pvt.
