Visitor Surprised
/
Only Few People
Understand German
When Sebastian Pongratz ar
rived from Germany a fortnight
ago, he and his older brother,
George, who lives northeast of
Emmet, were reunited on a rail
platform in O’Neill.
Sebastian, now 62, was only
2-years-old when George left the
35-acre family farm in Bavaria
in 1892 to come to the United
States. George, who was 11 at
the time, eamfe with an aunt.
A short time later their mother
died and rheir father, who was
a weaver of linen as well as a
small-scale farmer, reared the
family as best he could.
George and two sisters came
to the U.S. Sebastian stayed
behind, fcught with his coun
trymen during World War I,
end raised two children. Eight
een months ago his wife died.
George, who is a prosperous
Holt county farmer, long has
yearned for a trip to the old
country. With his “kid brother”,
Sebastian, the only remaining
member of the immediate family
still living in Germany, George
decided to help arrange for Se
bastian’s visit to America.
Sebastian left the Bavarian
1 town of Geratskirchen, near Mu
inch, in late June. He sailed the
29th from Bremen aboard the
Swedish liner Gripsholm, which
was a Ited Cross ship during
World War II. and he arrived in
New York City July 10.
The visitor, who speaks no
English, was dumbfounded to
find relatively few people able
to understand German.
At the rail platform the two
embraced while other kin looked
cn.
Sebastian busily helps George
with the chores and performs odd
jobs. He confidently expects to
finish his stay by October 6—the
Grisholm’s sailing date. His vis
itor’s visa would entitle him to
stay up io twd years if he wished.
Sunday the two brothers will
visit their sisters—Mrs. Michael
Hausland of Plattsmouth, who
has been in the U.S. 15 years,
and Sister M. Gerona, who is a
nun stationed at St. Francis hos
' pital, Grand Island.
Heal 'Unbearable'

EWING- -Maj. and Mrs. Seth
Armstead and family of Anchor
age, Alaska, are visiting at the

near Ewing.
* They are enroute to Montgom
ery, Ala., and will visit friends
and relatives in W'est Point, Fre
mont and Omaha before going to
Florida where another sister
lives.
! The Armsteads have been in
Alaska the past 2l/z years and
Nebraska’s current heat wave
was almost “unbearable” for
them.
GRADER CRUSHES MAN

crushed to death between two
heavy vehicles in a parking lot

ne Kallhoff. Verle Ralya, Joan
Langan and Louanne Fritton.
Hay days dates are August

Work on 20
Delayed by
Moisture
Free Water Standing
in Grade Is Reason
for Quitting Work
Moisture “trapped” in the new
U.S. highway 20 grade west of
F.'mmet has caused work to be
temporarily suspended and w'ill
delay hard-surfacing of the new
route, which parallels for four
miles the old road.
J. M. Crook of Ainsworth, di
vision engineer for the depart
ment of roads and irrigation, of
fers this explanation for the un
usual situation:
“This job originally was plan
I n£d so that material would be
hauled from the pits at each end
cf the job to provide sandy ma
j terials in the grade rather than
i to make deep excavations along
the road and thereby use silty
j materials.
“The sandy material was ex
cavated and placed in the grade
; with the moisture content within
I ihe limits provided in our speci
S fications. During the time of the
grading, there was a considerable
amount of rain and it now ap
i pears that moisture was trapped
over and above Jhat naturally
contained in the soil. This mois
ture has not dissipated itself
throughout the sand as would
normally be expected.
"Examination of the road
way will show that free water
stands in holes bored in the
grade. This water quite fre
quently is within two inches of i
the surface of the existing
grade, at the same time, holes
bored in natural ground along
the side of the fill are dry for
depths of approximately three
feet.
“The contractor made several
attempts to dry out the surface
of the grade and was successful.
He placed the oil mat over the
top of the dried layer and upon
applying the rollers to compact
the oil mat a pumping mat re
sulted which raised the water
from below the layer that had
been dried out to the area imme
diately beneath the mat. It be
came unstable and the mat then
broke in small areas three to
five inches across. This obvious
ly is not satisfactory construc
tion,” the district engineer told
The Frontier.
“Upon the discovery of this
situation our department author
ized the contractor to suspend
work until between the first and
the middle of August. It is ex
pected that during this time a
considerable amount of drying
might occur in the grade and
also it is desired to have suf
ficient time to make capillary
tests and to do some other lab
oratory work cm the samples ex
tracted from the sub-grade.
"At this dale we do not have
any solution at hand. We are
certain, however, that the wa
ter exists in about 4,000 feet
of the grade; that it will have
to be dissipated before a mat
can be placed, and we are not
at this time certain of the
method which will be used to
dry the material.
“We expect to complete the
work this year, at least on a!
temporary basis. We have had
another location in which such
a situation occurred and it was
dried out satisfactorily,” Crook
concluded
Many persons who frequently
travel the route and others resid
ing in the neighborhood were
skeptical about the plan from the
beginning. The relocated route
is intended to straighten the
highway, but to achieve this the
new grade is being built through
lowlands and tree clearings.
The new grade starts on a
hilltop one-fourth of a mile east
of Emmet and rejoins the estab
lished route at a point west of
fhe Beckwith place, a distance of
four miles.
New 281 Mat Is
Open to Travel—
The five-mile section of U.S.
highway 231, extending north
ward from the junction with
highway 20 (O’Neill drive-in
theater corner), this week was
opened for traffic.
An armor coat remains to be
added before the section will be
considered finished.
Meanwhile, the state highway
department will be accepting
bids today (Thursday) in con
nection with 7.2 miles of hard

4 Adopted Children in Pruss Family
When a tiny auburn - haired
bundle named Jean Marie, age
4-months, arrived Monday, July
26, at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Ivan Prus.s, she became the
fourth addition to the family
since 1946 via the orphanage
route.
Little Jean Marie was oblivi
ous to all the fuss when The
Frontier’s cameraman - reporter
called — and there was activity
aplenty. Doting relatives and
solicitous neighbors had con
verged for the reception.
Not every day is a little or
phan girl lucky enough to land
a home where she's welcomed
and wanted; a home in which i
two new-found brothers and !
one newl/-acquired sister all
are adopted.
The Pruss family formerly re
sided on East Fremont street,
hut the growing family forced
them out of their original home,
which they had built new. About
a year ago they moved to the
dwelling on East Benton street
formerly known as the Seth No
ble residence.
As the family grows the hous
ing requirements increase. The
upstairs is being finished off
now.
“Gotta have room for these
kids,” explains Papa Pruss.
The first-comer was William
Joseph, who is known about
town as Billy Joe. He was born
December 25, 1945, and acquired
the name of Pruss in October,
1946.
A year later—in October, 1947
—there came along John Robert,
whose affectionate name is John
ny Bob. He was born June 11,
1947.
A pretty little girl, Mary
Elizabeth, arrived at Christmas
time. 1952. She had been born
nine months before — on March
—6, 1952.
Jean Marie was born March
26, 1954. The parents, two broth
ers ar*J one sister went to Oma
ha to greet her.
All of the children have
brown eyes and they're so well
matched one could easily be
lieve them to be blood broth
ers and sisters.
When the Pruss family show
ed up at the St. James orphan
age in Omaha to welcome Jean
Marie, it was the first opportun
ity for the orphanage personnel
to reunite with Billy Joe, John
ny Bob and Mary Elizabeth.
The children were so young
when they were a part of the
St. James family they, natural
ly, had no recollection of the
place But the nuns remembered
the children.
Mrs. Pruss, upon whom falls
the big burden of four busy chil
dren, views the growing family
philosophically:
“Anything that’s worthwhile
in this world means work. But
with the children, we don’t
think of the work. We are so
happy to get them for the plea
sure we will get out of raising
them.”

Lightning Blamed
For Knocking Out
Pumping Controls
City Water Supt. Don R.
Douglass reported early Wed
nesday the automatic switches,
which control O’Neill’s three
major water pumping units 1%
miles south of the city, had
been knocxed out, presumably
by lightning.
Douglass said it couldn’t be
determined whether the mer
cury controls were kayoed by
a bolt of lightning or by over
load. In acy event, the incident
raised hohb with municipal
water department operations
between Tuesday and Wednes
day evenings.
Mr. Douglass appealed for
water conservation to “Voice of

were being made. The auto
matic controls were back in

ter pressui e was very low in
the city while the repairs were
being made—a bad situation in
the event of fire.
Douglass said the controls
were functioning Tuesday
mom when he visited the
pump houses and wells south
of the city, along U S. highway
381. The middle one houses the
mercury controls.
