The atomic energy commission at Washington D.C., announced last Thursday that a former Ne braskan has been named to head its inspection division. He is Curtis A. Nelson, a na tive of Bristow and now manager of the Savannah river (S.C.) operations office. The inspection division was set up under the atomic energy act of 1954. It has broad supervis ory and investigative duties. Mr. Nelson was born Febru ary 28, 1905, in Bristow, a son of Mrs. N. P. Nelson and the late Mr. Nelson, who died last year. He holds the degree of bachelor of science in civil engi neering from the University of Nebraska. He is a member of the Amer ican ‘Society of Civil Engineers and is currently a licensed engi neer in the states of Minnesota and South Carolina. Mr. Nelson’s experience in engi neering, administrative and tech nical ’ supervision has been broad and varied. He has su pervised design and construction on such diversified projects as lake restoration, river diversion, water conservation, rail roads, dams, drain age, utility sys tems, roads, and many types of buildings. During World War II, at the beginning of the atomic energy industry, he was assigned to the Manhattan engineer district, army engineers, as construction officer, control officer and personnel di rector. Mr. Nelson has had more than 10 years active duty with the army and holds a reserve com mission as colonel in the corps of engineers. For service during the war years, his unit received the merit service award with three stars and he was awarded the le gion of merit. For three years, beginning July, 1947, Mr. Nelson was assigned as U.S. liaison oficer at Chalk Riv er, Ont., Can. From this position he was transferred in July, 1950, by the atomic energy commission, to be manager of the new opera tions office subsequently called the Savannah river operations office with principal offices near Aiken, S.C. In his capacity as manager, Mr. Nelson has had overall di rection of engineering, con struction and operations for the atomic energy commission at the Savannah river plant, where a design and construction pro gram valued at $1,500,000,000 has been in progress for the past four years. He also supervised two sub offices, the Dana area office near Clinton, Ind., and the Wilmington area office in Wilmington, Del. The Savannah river plant has been in operation for some time now and construction work grad ually is decreasing. Mr. Nelson resides in /UKen with his wife, the former Eileen L. Antony, and their four children —Patricia, Robert, Curtis, jr., and Mary Eileen. During his years in Aiken, Mr. Nelson has been act ively associated with civic and church groups, serving as a trus tee of St. John’s Methodist church, Boy Scout committeeman at St. Mary’s Catholic church and a member of the board of directors cf the community chests of Rich mond county, Ga., and Aiken county, S.C. He is currently listed in “Who’s Who in America.” Recently Mr. Nelson made an address before the Aiken Rotary club. “The Future of Atomic En ergy and Particularly Its Use in the Generating of Electrical Pow er” was the subject. He prefaced his remarks by saying most people are familiar with the benefits which have come to medicine, industry and agriculture through use of com mon elements which have been made radioactive in atomic re actors and which are used as re search and treatment tools. The speaker said that while the phenomena of radioactivity has been known to physicists and oth er scientists for many years, the knowledge remained unapplied and mainly in the realm of the ory until approximately 15 years ago. It was in 1939 that the natur al force caused by the fission of uranium was discovered.

James W. Rooney, chairman of the Chamber of Commerce new 'industries committee, received the word this week from Col. Evar Peterson, administrative assistant to Maj.-Gen. Guy N. Henninger, Nebraska’s adjutant-general and guard commander. Peterson also contacted J. L. McCarville, jr., and asked Mc Carville, a former lieutenant in the army’s military police corps, to serve as acting commanding officer. Colonel Peterson said General Henninger was "favorably im pressed” with O’Neill as a s’te i-.r a guard company. The general, who visited here a fortnight ago, gave O’Neill the nod over Su perior and “one or two other cities” which were competing for the unit. Temporary armory quarters will be worked out Friday, when Colonel Peterson will come to O’Neill. Two buildings have been under consideration — the base ment of the Shelhamer Foods building and the unoccupied Hunt building (new) in West O’Neill. O’Neills selection as a location for a company could mean the ctiy will be in line for a 150- to 170-thousand - dollar permanent armory within the next few years. Colonel Peterson said it would be essential to have a roster of 50 enlisted guardsmen in order to clinch O’Neill as a guard city. Rooney and members of his com mittee have felt the manpower question could be met quite sat isfactorily. McCarville said he and Col onel Peterson will be anxious to select a non-commissioned offi cer for administrative work “right away.” The NCO for this job can be selected from present guardsmen or veterans (any branch of the service). The O’Neill company will be a part of a tank battalion command ed by Colonel Peterson. Colonel Peterson indicated he hopes to have the company form ed by March 15 and the unit will take part in summer maneuvers at Camp Ripley, Minn. Miss Davis Gets Role in Opera INMAN—Miss Imogene Davis of Inman will portray the role of “Vera Boronel” in the University of Nebraska theatre production February 15-19 of Gian-Carlo Me notti’s opera, “The Consul.” The three-act production, to be presented in the University’s new Howell Memorial theatre, will mark the revival of opera on the University campus after an ab sence of six years. Dr. David Foltz, chairman of the music department and music director, said, “The Consul” is one of the most ambitious under takings ever attempted by the uni versity theatre. Only one other university in the nation—Colum bia—has ever produced this music-drama. The opera was a Broadway success in 1950. In all, 14 singers and 27 orches tra members will perform for the five-day show. Work by the uni versity staff toward the produc tion of the opera began last July. Miss Davis, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas J. Davis of In man, is a junior in the school of music at the university. Bess Cotterill, Musician, Dies Miss Bess Cotterill, about 60, member of a musical family which resided here a number of years ago, died September 21, 1954, at Iron Mountain, Mich.

Sorin in Concert Here Tonight When the conductor stepped onto the podium Sunday after noon in a great concert hall in the nation’s capital and raised his baton, the Washington Na tional Gallery symphony or chestra responded. Those in the audience, many of them notables on the na tional and international scene, settled back for an afternoon with Beethoven and Bach as interpreted by a famous Amer ican pianist, Samuel Sorin. On Wednesday, an O’Neill bound bus threaded its way from Omaha bearing Mr. Sorin as one of its passengers. The artist had flown from Wash ington to Omaha, via Bethle hem, Pa., where he appeared Monday night. Within a few minutes Mr. Sorin had acquired the “feel” of O’Neill. He registered at the Golden hotel with M. J. Golden. “I knew when I met the man at the hotel,” Sorin stated, “this was going to be a friendly place and I would like it here!” “Any place as inaccessible as O’Neill must be a wonderful community,” he later explained to F. E. Parkins, president of the O’Neill Community Concert association and to John H. Mc Carville, association officer and member of the artist reception committee. Sorin missed connec tions in Omaha with the Chica go & North Western’s Pullman on train 13. Sorin will appear in the sec ond in the 1954-’55 series of Community Concerts in O’Neill tonight (Thursday). The doors at the public school auditorium will open at 7:30 and the concert will begin at 8:15. A native of Detroit, Mich., he compelled attention as a pianist at the age of 12. Scholarships carried him to Chicago, 111., and the famous Julliard School of Music in New York. He did a stint in the army during World War II. After a post-war “brushing up,” Sorin took to the concert stage and has met with singular success. He has enjoyed engagements throughout the United States, Canada and in Central America. “I am amazed at the great success of the new organization. I could not believe over one thousand memberships could be sold in a city this size. “Do you draw music-lovers all the way from Omaha?” he queried. He was assured the area is sparsely populated but not that sparsely! The pianist (he’s a wee bit older than indicated by his pho tos conveyed via the New York press agents) promptly went to the auditorium and sat at the new Steinway for two hours. “Ah, already we are old friends—the piano and me!” Asked about his forthcoming concert,' the artist offered this: “You can say we will pro vide listenable music. The major works will include Chopin, Liszt, Schubert, Bach, Debussy, Brahms, Prokossiev and Wever. “I will play the standard con cert, which I do for Community Concert associations all over the country.” Asked if he would digress from the regular format, he said: “Let’s wait and see.” Sorin’s next concert (after O’ Neill) will be at Rawlins, Wyo., on Sunday. He said the present road trip would keep him away from his wife and daughter, Kathryn Lynn, for seven weeks.. “Kathy does not like the idea of her daddy being away from home for so long a time. Her mother, however, is accustomed to it. “But,” he smiled, “when I’m home I stay home!” Sorin . . . pledges “listenable music.” Mothers’ March Total Is $635.48 ‘Dime Time’ Revue Date Feb. 14 Proceeds for the mothers’ march on polio, the house-to-house can vass of the city carried out last Thursday evening, amounted to $635.48, it was announced by the officers of the Holt county chap ter of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. “Anyone who was missed on the mothers’ march may send their contributions to the march of dimes headquarters, O’Neill,” an official explained.

Tradition holds the winter is about over. Thus far, the winter has been “open” and relatively mild with some thawing and springlike weather the past few days. When the badger or wood chuck, as the old belief goes, pokes his head out at noon on February 2 and fails to see his shadow, he can consider the hi bernation over. Skies were cloudy and overcast here throughout the day although there was come clearing toward evening. The adage says if the “ground hog” sees his shadow he is fright ened back into the underground sleeping chambers made out of hay and leaves—there to hiber nate for six more weeks.
