Stockgrowers to
Hear Former M.P,
The Nebraska Stockgrowers’
association will convene in Grand
Island today (Thursday) for tne
annual meeting. They will hear:
Alfred isdwards, launous Brit
ish industrialist and former mem
ber of parliament who recently
was purged from the British
labor party for his criticism of.
nationalization of industry. Ed
wards has become an outspoken
foe of socialism
O. Glenn Jjaxon, a world-fam
ous economist from Yale univer
sity, New Haven, Conn.
Roger Fleming, of Washington,
D. C., national Farm Bureau Fed
eration secretary.
Bern R. Coulter, of Bridgeport,
an attorney and a rancher.

Cattlemen and their wives win
register at the Liedrkranz hail
starting a1 8 a.m. and the meet
ng will open at to a m. with a
band concert by the University
of Nebraska school of agriculture
band from Curtis,
“We feel fortunate in securing
the services of Alfred Edwards
before he returns to England to
continue his support in the fight
against socialism,” declares J. H.
Vinton, of Gordon, association
president. In encouraging at
tendance at Grand Island meet
ing, Vinton adds that “Alfred Ed
wards is qualified to lend us cou
rage and inspiration to keep up
our fight against such a trend in
this country.”
Edwards is one of nine children
of a railroad joiner and his edu
cation was interrupted before he
was 14 to seek employment. Pos
sessing the ability of a vigorous
and skillful public speaker, he
rose to the top with _ lightning
speed. Now despite his momen
tary defeat on British government
policies and when he seems to
have sacrificed his political ca
reer for the sake of his princi
ples, Alfred Edward has a real
story to tell about the upheaval
of Britain’s industry following
th*' adoption of the iron and steel
bill, a nationalization measure.
n. C. Schaffer, of OINeill, is
vice-president of the association.

St. Anthony’s
About Finished
O’Neill’s new half-million-dol
lar health center, St. Anthony’s
hospital, virtually is completed.
Only a few details remain be
fore the hospital is turned over
to the Sisters of St. Francis, a
Roman Catholic order which will
own and operate the institution.
Left on the agenda for Bus
boom & Rah, the general con
tractors, are some interior decor
ating (although most of it is com
pleted) and some fitting and re
fitting of storm windows.
Landscaping is not a part of
the general contract.
James M. Corkle, who has
headed the building commit
tee, said Wednesday he ex
pected the contractors to turn
the building over to the nuns
"about May 1."
Because the hospital is being
built with the aid of a federal
grant, government inspectors will
tour the hospital during the final
week of April and they are ex
pected to fix their approval on
the project.
St. Anthony’s will be the larg
est hospital in north-central Ne
