The Frontier, under the large heading “Street Issue Back in Court,” on Page 10, Column 7, it states: “Gatz and Arbuthnot claim the widening will result in removal of curb pumps “in con nection with the Arbuthnot Station, the Lo haus Motor Company and with the Asimus Filling Station.” The above writeup in The Frontier tries to tie me in with Gatz and Arbuthnot, and on Page 7 of The Frontier Mr. Gatz and Mr. j Arbuthnot claim they will be put out of the gas business by the £ widening of the Highway. Now, I wish to give you my stand and views on this. We all know that by law we have no right to build business places or put gas pumps on the street or highway. Lots we buy or own only include the lot space up to the sidewalk. The City or State Highway De partment own and control the space on street and including side walk space. Whenever the State or City wish me to move any of my property off the street or highway I will be very glad to do so at my own expense, as we had no right to build there in the first place. The only reason mine were out in the street was that this practice has been going on in O’Neill for about a half century and as long as others were “mooching” this space I could just as well do the same. We should thank the Highway Department, the City Councils and the Public for letting us use their property as long as we have, as a Highway or Street with no obstructions is much safer | for all traffic. 1 think the City Council and the State Highway Department have made a very good compromise on the Highways through town. i —TONY ASIMUS (This ad is paid for and signed by Tony Asimus) Page News Willis Robinson spent several days last week visiting his sisters, Mrs. Jack Andrews at Norfolk, Mrs. Lester Brady at Lincoln and Mrs. Lester Hart at North Bend, also their families.

White, Clare Clement and Ernie Weller herds 10 tried sires — including 3-and 4-year-olds; 8 coming 3-year-olds; 8 coming 2-year-olds; 4 yearlings Good individuals, well bred and all guaranteed Sale held in connection with regular Tuesday auction at Atkinson Livestock Market By MAUDE SILVERSTRAND Frontier Feature Writer ATKINSON—Lloyd McDowell, who caried the mail on route 2 out of Atkinson for over 30 years and is now retired, has a new way of contacting former patrons and old friends. The open road still beckoned so Lloyd calls on his friends with a station wagon full of bottles, boxes and cans—prod ucts of a well-known household firm. Can you imagine all of the pies, cakes, puddings, candy, cookies and such it would take to use up one thousand 11-ounce bottles of vanilla? According to a company mag azine, Lloyd topped the list of vanilla salesmen for this company anywhere in the world for the period between July, 1954, and January, 1955. Some of the one thousand botles of flavoring were sold in 72-bottle lots to organiza tions. They, in turn, through their membership sold it to individuals. No matter who sold it, the ulti mate purpose of vanilla is to fla vor and no one, in these days at least, is going to buy it for any other reason. Time was during prohioition days, when vanilla had other uses. But Lloyd’s reputation is based on the proposition that his vanilla will go into pies, cakes, puddings, etc. O’Neill News Mr. and Mrs. D. D.
