O’Neill, Nebr., Thursday, October 28, 1954. Seven Cents c Clyde Puts Away Model T for Winter Clyde Bowden (at wheel) Wednesday put his 1923 vintage model T Ford into moth balls for the winter. Bowden, who is cus todian at the Country club and for several office buildings, annual ly awaits the season’s first freeze before he shelves his highly-dec orated utility vehicle for the winter. Likewise he waits for the snow to clear before bringing his old reliable machine into service for the summers. His passenger on the final run was Joe Gokie, a neighbor. Together they helped account for the mountainous stack of cord wood (in background). Joe aids Clyde at the Country club; Clyde helps Joe on the wood pile. Mr. Gokie is a retired farmer and is noted for his eternal buildup of the wood pile.—The Fron * tier Photo.

STORES TO CLOSE At a meeting of the retai trade committee of the Chambei of Commerce on Wednesday, i1 was voted to close the places o: business in O’Neill on veterans day, Thursday, November 11. Guests Here— Mr. and Mrs. L. G. Weber o: Genoa were Sunday guests of Mr and Mrs. A. Marcellus. •; - Not much attention has been paid to the constitutional amend ment proposals on the November ballot. But some are the most im portant in years, especially those which will clear a way roadblocks to any real tax reform. Here briefly is a rundown of the proposals as they will appear on the ballot: Proposal 1: Would change the provision that salaries of execu tive state officers can’t be chang ed oftener than every eight years. Reason: Because in these times of inflation salaries haven’t been ■ realistic for top officials and some good ones have been lost. Proposal 2: Would change the makeup of the state board of ed ucational lands and funds to an appointive board. Reason: Would put men on the board who would make it their main duty. Present board consists of governor and other busy elected officials. Note: Various school organizations have fought this, fearing what an appointive board would do to school lands. Proposal 3: Would change the provision that members of execu tive boards must live in Lincoln. Proposal 4: Would relax pres ent rigid requirements for assess ment of real estate. Reason: This is called the “heart” of the tax reform proposals. If home-owners are to get any kind of relief, the “straitjacket” in the constitution must be changed. Proposal 5: Would allow the appointment of county assessors. Reason: To get better tax as sessing at local level, many states have found it is better to appoint assessprs rather than elect them as Nebraska now does. The Ne braska State Association of Asses sors has endorsed this move. Proposal 6: Would allow ex emption of household goods from taxation. Reason: It takes about 90 percent of the assessor’s time to rount pots and pans, dishes and mops, yet they bring only three percent of tax reveune. The idea is to allow assessors to spend more time on the real revenue producers. 1 Proposal 7: Would place a re striction in the constitution that if the legislature passes a sales or income tax, the revenue must re place the property tax that sup ports state government (about 10 percent of the average tax bill). This is the most controversial of the amendments. Reason for: This would make sure that any new kinds of taxes would be replace ments and not “just another tax.” Reason against: Would place an other straitjacket in constitution when a major cause of the tax troubles has been that there were too many already. Proposal 8: Would allow setting up a state tax commission of ap pointive officials. Reason: Experts say one of the reasons Nebraska has had so much property tax trouble has been lack of attention by successive state boards of equalization, composed of elected officials such as the governors. This would tighten administration at the top. Ballots for the amendments are being printed in Nebraska on blue paper. Kids to Dance on Hallowe’en The Chamber of Commerce once again is helping in arrange ments for a Hallowe’en party for O'Neill kids. High school-age young folks are invited to the American Le gion auditoridm for dancing, starting at 8 o’clock. There will be treats and prizes for the best costumes.

Rail Protest Meeting Set Nov. 18th Originally Set Today, Session at Valentine Has Been Postponed Most quarters along the Chica go & North Western railway’s Omaha-to-Chadron line have been heard from since last week’s sudden announcement the railroad was considering abandoning its last two remaining passenger mail-express trains in North Ne braska. These are trains number 13 and 14 which ply between the two ci ties each day and convey ponder ous sacks of mail and express but few passengers. The rail officials assert the operation of the two trains is costing the C&NW about 60 thousand-dollars per year. A change in the government’s method of computing fees for carrying mail is blamed for loss of some of the revenue and the rail officials see no relief from the losses in the future. Lloyd Pipher of Crawford, rep resenting the Western Nebraska United Chambers of Commerce, originally called a meeting for to day (Thursday) at Valentine, but failed to make a date beforehand with J. E. Goodwin, vice-presi dent in charge of operations for C&NW. Pipher said he particularly wanted Goodwin present so a new date was established—Thursday, November 18. President Don Petersen of the O’Neill Chamber of Commerce said a delegation from here would attend the Valentine meet ing, which will start at 2:30 p.m., (CST), and many members of the delegation will be making the trip by rail. The “Voice of The Frontier” scooped the state’s press and radio on Monday, October 18, with the C&NW’s surprise an nouncement. The Frontier’s edi torial on the subject last week w as widely reproduced and will appear in “Railroad Age,” a magazine circulating in the rail industry. The North Western has no in tention of cutting back any of its freight service. The line, with ex tensions from Chadron to Lander Wyo., and Chadron to Rapid City, S.D., is considered a profitable freight line. Many civic groups up-and down the route have joined in the crescendo of protests, and most of these proteste convey a sincere desire to have the trains kept and operated on a profitable basis. Chambers, Lynch Men Are Enlistees The O’Neill army recruiting of fice has announced the following recent enlistments: Jerry L. Ogle of Valentine, for engineer corps. Theodore G. Ayers of Valen tine, for airplane mechanic school. Duane L. Cassidy of Lynch, for helicopter mechanic school. Keith L. Dillon of Sparks, for ordnance corps. Charles C. Gallop of Lynch, for transportation corps. Kenenth L. Marvin of Long Pine, for engineer corps. John E. Wohlers of Crawford, for engineer corps. Thomas H. Tinkham of Johns town, for signal corps.

Bliss, El Paso, Tex., for further processing, training and reassignment. Late Upsurge Makes Drive Success The first annual membership drive sponsored by the O’Neill Community Concerts association iinished in a flurry Saturday. The week-long campaign for one thousand members appeared to be falling considerably short of the goal — until Saturday after noon. An upsurge of memberships began rolling into the associa tion’s headquarters, in the Golden hotel lobby, and kept a staff busy with tabulations and paper work. At the final count, 736 adult members were enrolled and 215 students, making a total of 951. Vice-President John C. Watson immediately proclaimed the drive a success and officers and mem bers of the executive committee sat at a conference table with Mrs. Pauline Walston, midwest representative for Community Concert Services, Inc., and ar ranged a four-concert series, cx act dates to be announced. For several weeks the associa tion has had a tentative date with James Melton, famous American tenor. At Saturday night’s con ference this became official and Melton will open the concert sea son Friday, November 5, at the O Neill public school auditorium. Watson said the membership drive, led by John H. McCarville and Mrs. Melvin Ruzicka, was a “terrific success,” because the one thousand member goal is very un usual for a city of O’Neill’s size for the initial season. Samuel Sorin, noted pianist, will appear here during Janu ary. One New York critic has said Sorin does for piano music of Beethoven whav Toscanini does for the symphonies. In February, the O’Neill associ ation will hear Theresa Green, soprano, a winner of the Marian Anderson award, a John Hay Whitney scholarship and Arthur Godfrey’s Talent Scout TV show. The final concert of the season will be presented in March by the Carolers, an ensemble of five vo calists, formerly with Fred War ing. This troupe features a male quartet and a soprano. Members of the association will be notified of exact dates of each concert. Membership in the O’Neill as sociation permits a person to at tend concerts in other nearby ci ties on the Community Concert circuit: Grand Island, Norfolk, Valentine, Winner, S.D., and Yankton, S.D.

Commission Denies Page Beer Permit Case Considered for Several Weeks PAGE — The request of Fred Appleby and Arthur Frahm of Page for a beer license here was denied Monday by the state li quor commission. The commission said because of testimony at a public hearing, it was decided to deny the appli cation. Recently the commission was presented with petitions signed by 101 persons protesting the issuance of any license in Page. A number of Page residents testified personally. Attorney Arthur Whitworth of the National Brewers’ Foundation said the anti-beer petitions were filed too late, after the Page vil lage board already had approved the application. Attorney Albert Johnson of Lincoln also spoke at the hearing, which was held sev eral weeks ago, representing the opposition. Rev. Harry Johnson of Page testified that about twice as many signed his petitions as re fused to sign. The commission at that time was also presented with peti tions with signatures asking that a beer license be granted. The commission took the mat ter under advisement at that time and made the denial announce ment this week. Page traditionally has been a “dry” town.

No. 281 Decision to Wait a Month Coad Say» ‘Nothing to Report Now’ All seven members of the new ly-appointed Nebraska state high way advisory commission had a first-hand look at Boyd county Wednesday and covered three proposed routes for the relocation of U.S. highway 281 north from the junction with state highway 12 to link with the South Dakota highway network. Leaving Boyd about 4:30 p.m., Arthur Coad, Omaha banker and chairman of the commission, said he had “nothing to report.” He added an announcement probably would be made in late November after the next regu lar meeting of the body. The commission members spent Tuesday night in O’Neill, reach ing here 24 hours ahead of sched ule in a three-day inspection trip. The board earlier spent time at Wakefield and Hartington where state highway relocations are in controversy. But mud condi tions obliged them to cut short their northeastern Nebraska visit and they moved on to O’Neill. John R. Krotter, Spencer busi nessman who is plugging for a westerly route from the junction I (a route already recommended by i state highway engineers), accom j panied the commission during the forenoon and lunched with the commissioners at Pickstown, S.D., in the shadow of the big Ft.

Burglars in 4 Stores But Loot Small Stuart and Chambers Places Are Visited; Scout Money Taken Burglars were busy in Holt county over the weekend. But Holt County Sheriff Leo Tomjack said the loot was meager and hardly justified the effort. Sometime after 2:30 a.m., Sun day, the thugs broke into three business places at Stuart. The Flannigan grocery store was en tered through a rear door. The Central Bar also was entered by forcing a rear door. At neither place was any loss noted, accord ing to Tomjack. The burglars made a night of it at Stuart by breaking into the Wm. Krotter company of fices. They damaged the cash register and virtually demol ished the safe. But neither the register nor the safe yielded any money. At Chambers, the Harley Hard ware store was entered sometime during the same night. The van dals gained admittance by prying open a window on the east side of the office. Thirty dollars worth of Boy Scout funds were stolen, also a used shotgun and some shotgun shells, Tomjack said. Property damage at the various stores constituted the biggest loss, the sheriff added.
