Prairieland Talk . . .
Hoosiers Fish on Wednesdays
By ROMAINE SAUNDERS, Retired, Former Editor The Frontier
MARION, IND.—Most of the stores, food mar
kets and other business places in Marion close Wed
nesday afternoon of each week that all concerned
can go fishing if they like. Drug stores and filling
stations keep open.
Clerks, artisans and workers in various lines
have it different today than those of a generation
ago. The 30-hour work week now
looms as the next step.
Among the ventures of Prai
rieiand Talker in the days of his
youth when still heart-whole and
fancy free he took on a clerking
job with H. Heinrichson, who had
a combination grocery store and
public eating place in O’Neill
about where a clothing store now
is located on Douglas street west
of the First National bank. The
job involved getting out at 5 in
the morning, milking two cows
and taking care of a horse, mak
ing forenoon deliveries and “tending store” until
10 o’clock at night at a stipend of $15 a month.
I lasted two months as a store clerk and roust
about and resigned in favor of the late Sam Thomp
son, who lasted a month longer than I did. Surviv
ing the ordeal there for 60 days, I think was made
possible because of a waitress in the dining room—
a marked example of the control a woman has
over mere males.

As I read of the death of Gus Hoppe memor
ies came out of the past. Gus—none of us ever em
ployed his full name — was the senior partner of
Hoppe Bros., Shorthorn cattle breeders of Wheeler
county, my neighbors some three or four miles
away. The other brother, Hugo, while maintaining
his interest in the Hoppe Bros, ranch, took on a
job as foreman with the AT outfit of the Beaver
Valley. I rode the cowtrails with Hugo and found
him to be not an ordinary puncher, but a man of
culture and well informed. Some 40 years ago the
brothers sold the ranch and went to Sheridan
county where Hugo died 10 years ago. Gus was
county assessor in Wheeler county during my so
journ in that community and wished on me one
season the job of precinct assessor. Driving a span
of buckskins, I made my last call as assessor on a
gent of foreign tongue living in a dugout. He treat
ed me with the respect due an official and as I
opened the door to leave he handed me a huge
onion, the kind they can raise down there along
with Shorthorn cattle.

ever.

Another season of lent draws to an end as this
is written. Various church groups that 50 years ago
did not follow the custom, now have their lenten
services. Millions that have been denying them
selves of certain things are glad it’s over. Others
come out of a 40-day experience sensing the so
lemnity of the times. Still other millions disregard
altogether what they consider a hangover of the
ancients, observed in memory of Tammuz, the
Babylonian bogus messiah. Other churchmen feel
that Christianity is a way of life, not the observing
of prolonged stated seasons. In this, our day, we
have the privilege of choice—take it or leave it.
At the drumbeat of eternity when the long roll is
called, what will be verdict be?

An Indian citizen, A. C. Cast, has been named
by Republican National Chairman Hall to head the
radio, television and motion picture setup at the
GOP national convention to be held next year in
San Francisco, Calif. Mr. Cast is state republican
chairman of Indiana. . . What is known as the na
tional plowing contest is to be held this year in
September near Wabash, Ind. Evangelist Billy
Graham, now in Scotland, has been invited to ad
dress the group of plowmen. . . In a 3C-mile cir
cle of prairie at the junction of Kansas, Missouri
and Oklahoma is said to be the richest source of
zinc in the United States. . . Gary and Whiting,
Ind., are two of the 51 cities of the United States
selected as “targets” for make-believe air raids.
A few convicts in the Nebraska state peniten
tiary got into the swing of things in keeping with
the spirit of the times, overpowered guards and
took over a pen unit, defying the authorities. Such
demonstrations are becoming common at penal in
stitutions throughout the counrty. What inspires
such moves on the part of prison inmates we leave
for the experts to say, but we venture the guess
that it comes from the human impulse to rebel
against restraints, coupled with criminal instincts.
No period of human history could claim free
dom from the deeds of evil men but maybe we are
not far in the rear of it all at the present time in
view of what happened down at Rock Island, Tenn.,
a few days since and similar stories coming all too
frequently from other points. A young man, who
had just become the father of twins, went to the
farm home of his cousin and the two went fishing.
Got into an argument, the young fellow killed his
cousin, then went to the house and beat to death
the victim’s wife, a baby and 10-year-old girl. After
all this he stole the livestock and sold it. There
was a time communities would make short work
of such as he, but he has been arrested and will
have a court trial. Maybe get a few years in the
pen at public expense. The person charged with
crime has a right to a hearing. The public also has
a duty to deal with the criminal as he should be
dealt with.

Governor Stratton of Illinois wants a boost
in the sales tax to provide funds for schools and
other things. Give us a statesman who can see a
way to reduce taxes.

The government hospital for the care of war
scarred soldiers located in this Indiana community
apparently has a large number of vets enrolled,
judging from the score of buildings comprising the
medical setup. Another building is now in process
of construction. Connected with the institution, too,
is a graveyard where slabs row-upon-row mark
the remains of dead soldiers. The destiny of a sol
dier is to die, if not on the bullet-scarred battle
jfield, then it may be in the embrace of wife or
mother within the towering walls of one of the
many buildings comprising the soldiers’ hospital
in Marion, walls that can not exclude the stealthy
tread of the messenger of death.
* * *
Caught at it and now stowed away. That there
can be individuals who will betray a trust is a sad
commentary on human nature. Joseph Sidney Pet
ersen, jr., a trusted employee of a government de
partment, was discovered passing important secret
government documents to agents of foreign pow
ers. His good name is blacked out, a pleasant and
well-paid position is exchanged for a cot and a
crust in a federal prison. Some guys never know
when they are well off, thinking by taking a step
onto the highway of crime they are on the way
to a big fortune, only to land behind prison bars.
* * *
Word from “back home,” where I expect to be
by the middle of April, tells of two Indians visiting
a welfare center where clothing and some food pro
visions are kept for needy families and asking for
money to get gas for their road boat so they could
drive to where they could get work. Informed by
those in charge of the welfare setup that day that
cash was not to be had, the redskins left. It was
later learned they had been in a week previous
with the same story and the sympathetic sister in
charge that day had given them money from her
own stock and store. The poor soon learn the tricks
of the trade.
* * *
Val Peterson, our civil defense defender, en
courages any who may be shaking in their boots
in fear and dread of bomb raids by giving out that
52 million dollars has been authorized for the pur
pose of providing shelters in certain localities. It
will make some jobs if nothing more and maybe a
few unscrupulous gents can see in it an opportunity
to peel off a sizeable chunk from those millions,
but having Val to deal with they have another
guess coming. And let us venture a guess—Turkey,
Egypt and Persia loom as the polestar of Muscovite
lust for other worlds to conquer. He doesn’t like
the looks of American H- and A-bomb piles on this
side of the globe.
Editorial . . .
Giving to Private Colleges
The Standard Oil company of New Jersey,
which recently announced a gift of over $500,000
to the private colleges of the United States, has
issued a booklet explaining their theories on fi
nancial support of the private colleges. We think
this is one of the better statements on this prob
lem, and worthy of attention here.
In the first place, the statement set forth the
responsibility of Americar citizens, businesses
and other groups regarding private colleges. The
existence of private colleges was described by the
huge oil company as a great factor of strength
in our democracy,” because of the diversity and
independence of the various institutions. Their
qualities are such that America profits by having
both the tax-supported institutions of learning
and the privately-supported institutions of learn
ing, which are both competitive and mutually
stimulating.
We point out the basic assumption of the
Standard Oil company, in assuming that it has
a responsibility to help the country’s privately
supported colleges. It is set forth effectively in
the first paragraph of that company’s recent
statement:
“The material, intellectual and spiritual de
velopment of mankind rests on the accumulation
of knowledge. The fundamental duty of society
is to preserve knowledge, increase it and transmit
it to successive generations. For the accomplish
ment of this purpose, colleges and universities
are prime instruments.”
This statement seems almost beyond contra
diction, and in view of the great progress being
made in totalitarian countries, in the scientific
educational field, it seems more than obvious that
we American citizens, and businesses, have a
duty to further the advancement of knowledge
in this country.
No one company, as the Standard Oil com
pany of New Jersey admits in its statement, can
do much for the total picture of education in the
United States. But if other companies will follow
the example of those which have already given
generously, and if it becomes something of a cus
tom in this country for private industry to take
part of its charitable contribution and earmark
it for privately-supported colleges, then the fi
nancial structure of these institutions will be
strengthened to such an extent they will no longer
be in danger of being swallowed up by increasing
financial hardship.
Unfortunately, many private colleges and uni
versities are in financial straits because private
endowments have declined—largly because of in
creased tax bites.
They Still Like Ike
Just at the present at least it appears that if
Ike Eisenhower wants to have the presidency for
another term all he has to do is to say so.
Every effort is being made by the opposition
to create issues that they hope will mean his
eventual downfall. But in spite of that his popu
larity increases instead of diminishes. We believe
that the real reason for it is that common voters
who cast most of the votes, realize that in Ike they
have one of the poorest politicians that this coun
try has had in a quarter of a century or more.
He has made political errors by the score, so
many in fact that folks believe that he is more
concerned about the welfare of the country than
the welfare of his party. And we believe that they
are correct.
The latest poll shows that 71 percent of the
voters now approve of his administration as com
pared with 60 percent the month previous. Repub
licans approve by 91 percent, democrats by 57
percent, and the folks who really determine the
elections, the independents, approve by 74 per
rent. The midwest, which is supposed to be in
an anti-Eisenhower mood, approves by 71 per
cent. It’s going to be a tough job to create issues
that will take away that kind of support.

Worthy Cause
Mrs. K. O. Britain, jr., of Com
stock, Custer county extension
chairman, was in town Monday
campaigning for a worthy cause.
She wants the state to do some
thing about the care of retard
ed children and claims the Beat
rice school for feeble minded is
the only publicly-supported in
stitution of its type in the state.
Mrs. Britain, a Texas gal who
married a Nebraska quarter
horse breeder, is wrapped up in
her project. She says parents of
retarded children pay taxes for
educating all children but many
of the unfortunates never receive
schooling or training of any type.
She insists some could be taught
to be self-sufficient. A very
worthy undertaking, Mrs. Brit
ain, and we wish you well and
we offer any help we can give.
. . . The Frontier grievously erred
last issue in naming Mrs. John H.
McCarville as head of the Holt
chapter, National Foundation for
Infantile Paralysis for 1955. The
leadership is in the family, how
ever, because her hubby, long ac
tive in the work, is the new
chairman.

Miscellany
Mrs. Carl Christon, The Fron
tier’s correspondent in the River
side community, Ewing, wrote
this pithy reference to Sunday,
April 3, weather: “Received soil
samples Sunday from Texas, Ok
lahoma and Kansas”. . . Some
folks on the north side of town
are going to be getting im
proved telephone service, judging
from the cable-laying activity in
progress. Three hundred pairs of
wires are in the oversized “gar
den hose” size cable which is
threading its way underground
from the telephone office east to
Fifth, north several blocks, then
west. Some folks are looking for
ward toward the end of “party
line” service.

car of oats that is to be shipped
to Manila, P.I. . . All of the fair
young maidens in one public
school room followed the example
of their male classmates and play
ed hooky one afternoon. Their
suspension followed. After quite a
flurry the young ladies appeared
in the classroom and all that can
been gained from any of them is
“teacher didn’t do anything.” . .
Sanford Dodge will appear soon in
O’Neill in Shakespeare’s great
tragedy, “Macbeth.” . . A terrible
fire raged south of Chambers for
the entire week. By heroic effort
of the men in the area, Bartlett
was saved. A great deal of loss
and damage was done reaching
clear to Ono. Prairie fires raged
around Atkinson also. . . Mr. Jep
peson and L. G. Coburn are

reads: “Sgt. Watson, with com
plete disregard for his welfare
while under heavy fire, success
fully administered medical aid to
three wounded men and removed
them to a place of safety, thus
saving the lives of the stricken
soldiers in the European theater.”
. . . LB 120, the teachers’ pension
bill, passed the state legislature
with only four votes being cast
against it. It will take $85,000 to
get this started and the state will
have to put up this money. . . Ted
