cate, I read in last week’s issue of The Frontier,
is interested in doing something
for the school kids of the com
munity and enlisted the head
push at the University of Ne
braska to help him out. Don’t
do it, fellows. The kids are hav
ing it handed to them on every
hand on a gold platter. Out of
life’s storms, out of life’s strug
gles and out of life’s hardship
character is built.
Having helped Billy Davis get
The Advocate started as a cul
tural medium in West Holt, I
still retain mild interest. The
last I heard of Billy he was with
the Tribune at Oakland, Calif.
But stepping back still farther through the
tide of time, there was a young printer in Stuart
by the name of Homer Campbell who became the
author of a work on taxation that was used as a
textbook in universities and translated for like
purpose into European languages. Homer’s for
*mal education, reading and writing, was obtained
in a one-room shack that was the seat of learn
ing in O’Neill. Printer, author, newspaperman
with a background of pioneer struggles is how
I’ve personally known Homer.
Den Hunt got his meager schooling in the
same one-room school that functioned
where West O'Neill now begins. Before his
retirement some years ago he was engaged in
the insurance business and paid a salary that
would be the envy of most school men.
o
Denny Cronin and John Weekes, both sons of
pioneer parents, were pupils in that same school,
Denny walking the mile and half to school.
For more than 50 years he published The Frontier,
a number of times served in the state legislature
and for 11 years filled the post of United States
marshall. John was register of the U.S. land of
fice and'Jater president of the O’Neill Nat
bank. Jim Donohoe, of pioneer stock, more than
likely stood by a hay burner to keep from shiv
ering as he recited Lorenzo’s “Addre^ to the Ro
man’s.” He, too, pushed ahead in the spirit of con
quest that inspired our fathers and mothers and
won for himself a law degree. We address him
as Judge now since he graces a judicial robe as
judge of the federal court. Others who had
but little formal schooling, boys and girls of
fathers and mothers who faced the struggles of
pioneer life, lived to adorn a place in society.
Old stuff, you say. Alright—will the products
of modernistic schools be able to match it?
* * *
If you were licked in a fight when you were
a kid you haven’t forgotten the kid that licked
you. Let’s hope the defeated ones at the republi
can national convention take it gracefully like
American patriots. At a time when there should
be unity for the sake of country and home don’t
turn sour.
* * *
A gent out at Scottsbluff got on the delega
tion to the republican national convention who
saw the error of his way trying to be elected to
office as a democrat, while some straight shoot
ing lifelong republicans didn’t make it. Such are
the erratic rewards of politics.

Result—A California gent, in jail for some infrac
tions defending Harry Bridges criminally accused,
heads the ticket for presidency, his running mate
is a New York Negro woman. . . A fellow way up
in New Hamp has a watch his dad bought during
the world’s fair in Chicago in 1893. It still keeps
perfect time. They don’t make them that way
now. . . Germans in Berlin, Japs in New Japan,
Fascists in Italy stirring up revolt, South Afri
can trouble-makers, armed and mounted guards
during elections in Mexico, the rumble and grum
ble and roar of battle in Korea, brethren assem
bled in convention with drawn daggers of mali
cious scheming, and out there on a streetlight pole
I see two woodpeckers in mortal combat—that
elusive thing spoken of as world peace, where is
it? . . Shadows move in silently above prairie
land; in a moment the gold of the summer sun
set is no more; night, symbolic of confused hu
manity groping in darkness, settles over the land.

A senate committee has discovered that, and
wants something done about it, in the nonfight
ing jobs in the military setup there are being em
ployed “five men to do the work of one.” That’s
what others have concluded in looking official
Washington over. And you don’t need to go to
Washington, stroll around in the statehouse in
Lincoln or get an eyefull of what the personnel
on the city payroll do to put in the time. “Do as
little a you can for as much as you can get” is
the credo taken over in some of our official and
military life as well as in labor union circles, al
though credit is due the many honest and effi
cient workers in public service.

Turning from the turmoil coming in from
Chicago over radio and TV, we note a clothing
dealer advertises men’s suits at one-half price. . .
Herb Hoover has grown fat. . . A 16-year-old girl
down in Mississippi hasn’t missed a minute from
school since she was 6-years-old. . . Nebraska
railroads are worth $ 58,367,260 for assessment
purposes. . .If the world news gets your goat drive
out and park by a sandhills lake. . . And there
where the waters wash the sand of the shore,
where green-robed valley and flower-strewn
plain slope away to the hills life’s turmoil fades
from the vision and we walk again in the radiant
splendor of the dreams of the long ago.

Edward and Peter Feldhacker have their
friends down in Cedar county guessing which is
Ed and which is Peter. Identical twins 82
years of age. Holt county has identical twins
in the persons of the Meals boys up by Atkin
son and in all the years I have known them
I don't yet know which is Melvin and which
is Marvin, but that does not interfere with my
admiration for their efficiency in operating
the ranch, and I get by with saying "Hello,
boys!"

There’s the song of robin and lark,
And the flapping of wings in the sky.
A dog contributes his bark
And the bumblebee goes buzzing by.
White clouds float through the azure on high;
Leaf and sprig are stirred by a breeze—
I’ve found a shade in which to lie
So this doggerel ends in a wheeze.

Here9s How to Get It—Paving
O’Neill’s streets are noticeably lacking in
pavement or any form of hardsurfacing. Only
streets paved are Douglas street, the main thor
oughfare running east-and-west through the city,
and Fourth street from the railroad stations on
the south northward to the busy Benton street
intersection (Holt courthouse, O’Neill public
school, St. Patricks Catholic church).
What paving there is in O’Neill was induced
a few years ago by liberal cooperation from the
federal government inasmuch as Douglas street
is the route of U.S. highway 20 and South Fourth
street is on the U.S. highway 281 route. They
called it a federal works project.
The Frontier is frequently asked by local
citizens: How do you get paving?
We’ve dug a bit into the procedure (while
Neligh, Hartington, Wayne, Wahoo, etc., are de
veloping hundreds of blocks of paving in recent
years) and have come upon these facts:
In order for a street or an alley to be paved
in O’Neill you must have the written consent of
60 percent of the abutting resident property own
ers. *
This you get by taking a petition around to
your neighbors who live on the same street on
both sides of the one you want to pave and have
them sign in favor of the paving.
If 60 percent are not in favor then you might
as well forget it because the law requires 60 per
cent
If you do get 60 percent of the abutting resi
dent property owners’ consent (and it is a good
idea to get the wife's name on the petition, too,
if the property is in her name also) then you
take your petition to the city clerk for approval
by the city council.
What the city council does is this: Since the
petition demands that the paving be put in they
act on the petition, check to see if it is true that
60 percent have signed the agreement, and then
ask the city engineer to draw up plans, specifi
cations and give and estimate on the entire job.
After this has been completed by the city en
gineer the city council then passes an ordinance
creating a paving district of your street (or alley,
as the case may be) and publishes a notice to bid
ders in the newspaper. The law requires that this
notice be published for three weeks running
prior to the opening of any and all bids entered
by paving contractors wanting the work.
The city council then approves the lowest bid
it receives and the paving work is given the
green light, and the contractor goes to work pav
ing your street.
IT_i 1 _ - • _ _ • 1 »Ml • • • a
•iwvv, me tuai .ls amucuuiig eise. jlius is wnat
most people are interested in and it is easy
( enough to figure out.
Say, for instance that you want the street
paved in front of your house. In order to figure
out how much it is going to cost you you must first
know how much of your land touches the street.
You can measure this with< a tape measure if you
like.
For every lineal foot (running foot) of land
that you own that touches the street it will cost
you about $6. Thus, if you have 40 feet your cost
would be $240. If you have 60 feet your cost
would be $600. (These figures from a neighbor
ing town.)
The paving you will get will be six-inch
plane concrete paving, 27 feet wide. If you want
reenforced concrete pavement (that is, with steel
reenforcing) the cost would be higher since steel
is expensive and hard to get.
Realizing that there are technicalities in con
nection with paving districts you may delve a
> little deeper into the subject to point out that in
the case where an abutting property owner does
not own but, let’s say, half of two lots and some
one else owns the other half of the two lots be
j hind him then the cost to the abutting property
owner is divided (not equally).
Usually owner living next to paving pays for
the paving on a sliding scale. He must pay one
third of the cost of the paving for owning the
first one-sixth of the lots next to the street; an
additional one-fifth for the second one-sixth of
the lots and an additional one-sixth for the third
one-sixth of the lots he owns. The fellow owning
the other half of the lots to the alley in the rear
pays three-tenths of the total cost.
That is the way it is divided among the prop
erty owners at Wahoo. Lots extend to the alley
and there are usually 10 lots in each block, but
this varies in different cities.
Now, in the case where there is not an alley
to divide the block in half, the same situation
applies just as if an alley were there. The block
is divided in half and the property owners’ costs
are divided the same way.
Of course you can see where the man living
on the corner of two paved streets is going to
have to pay the most. He is assessed for paving
on two sides where other property owners are
assessed for only the paving in front of their
i_
liUlllCd.
Now, again, in case you are interested in
paving that alley that runs through your block,
the same €0 percent of signatures of abutting
resident property owners is required by law.
The procedure is the same for the city coun
cil and the city engineer, but the cost is less for
alley paving.
The current estimate is $2.50 per running
foot for abutting property owners. If the prop
erty is divided by two or more owners then the
cost is again divided by scale (as mentioned
above).
Two recently completed alley paving pro
jects in Wahoo cost $1,225.90 and in another
block the cost was $1,214.29.
These amounts, however, were divided
among the property owners on the alleys. The ac
tual cost was $2.30 per running foot.
We have been talking about what it is go
ing to cost you to get this paving, but there is
something you don’t want to overlook. A portion
of this cost would be paid for by the city of
O’Neill.
The city would pay after proper formalities
for all intersectional paving, alley approaches
and, in addition, all storm drains and sewers.
You can consider that somewhat of a help, no
doubt.
Estimating the cost of blacktopping is very dif
ficult since a lot of things enter into the problem.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Lincoln, Nebr.
July 8, 1952
Gentlemen:
We arrived home from our
trip on July 3. We left Lincoln
December 12, spent the winter in
southern California with our
daughter, Mrs. Chester M. Fow
ler.
The weather was not what we
expected to find, but the country
as a whole had been suffering
with a drouth for several years so
the rains and cool weather was
what the country needed.
On May 1 we journeyed north
to Portland, Ore., and Tacoma,
Wash., where we spent six weeks
with our son and family. The
weather was somewhat chilly for
us, but you could soon forget it
when you would drive around and
see the roses and flowers of all
kinds. We made many side trips;
were in Mexico, British Columbia,
Las Vegas and San Diego. Drove
10,750 miles, had one flat tire
caused by nail. Went out on the
southern route and came home
on the central route, stopped at
Buhl, Ida., and visited many of
the Inman folks.
Guess we can’t do without The
Frontier. Enclosed find check of
$2.50 for one year’s subscription.
Very truly,

many weekly papers from your
part of the country, and I can
honestly say that The Frontier is
one of the very best looking I
papers that we see here.
Congratulations!

Nebraska’s Oceans
Have you watched the
waving oceans of wheat?
The warm Nebraska wind
touches the edge of the field,
starting a ripple. The wave
rolls on over like the swells
in a sea.
Soon, Nebraska’s “oceans”
will be harvested. Gushers
of golden grain will pour
into bins all over the state.
Nebraska will add another
tremendous wheat harvest to
the world’s market basket.
All Nebraskans can well be
proud of their part in feed
ing the world.
Nebraskans can be proud
too, that their state is known
for having a brewing indus
try which carries on a vig
orous educational campaign
among its retailers. Nebras
ka tavern men are known
as sincere merchants who
strive to conduct their places
in the public interest.
