Before the two-hour meeting got down to cases, District Judge Lyle Jackson of Neligh (who In the forenoon had disposed of a court matter at a countyseat 86 miles aveay; in the afternoon had “sentenced a rapist to 20 gears' im prisonment in another courtroom 110 miles <<fistant and had tested the speed limit = tct catch jhe booster trayo) -softened up Messfs. Ernst, Klein and Bornhoeft, by presenting there honorary mem bership cards' for fhe association. Mr. E?nst, a 250-pounder of Chesapeake Bay* fishing village origin, reported government find-1 ings on eight points which had been advanced at a February 25 meeting in Omaha iij, which Klein and members of his staff confef&ed with a = STA committee. me points on wnicn Klein agreed to make a study included possibilities of restoring some bf the South Dakota “west Mis souri river country” /including Rosebud reservation) mail to the trains (now being trucked west ward from S i o y x City); consider rerouting some mail brought into the area by com peting Burlington raSroad in extreme northwest corner of Ne braska and trucked into Black H^lls area; curtailment of various truck star routes which parallel C&NW tracks and provide what the train boosters Jterm “frill” and “backtrack” service. Mr. Ernst defended inaugura tion of trucking southern South Dakota, mail from Sioux City (inaugurated January 1, 1953). Formerly this mail was hauled from Omaha O’Neill (200 miles) by train 13 and trucked orthward. He contended thene were con siderably savings in co§ts/and pa trons in affected area preferred trucks, submitting a host of indi vidual and group signatures in cluding unanimous endorsement of 43 postmasters. Cal Stewart of O’Neill, publisher of The Fron tier, directed most of thy ques tioning to Mr. Ernst. Stewart charged the “west riv er country” survey was based on present ‘fime-tables (for trains J 3 and 14° whereas an accelterated schedule would be arranged with cane taken to avoid disruption of mail flow from terminal sources. Stewart insisted “west river country” people would not object so strenuously if they were pre sented afl the fafcts. For example, trains 13 and 14 haul scores, ei funeral “ship jns” from all over the country each year. Abandon ment of theSe two trains would ipean-> a family in Winner, S.D ! (population 3,500) would have to dispatch * a funeral car 230 m;ira to c^rancr island, or 300, miles to North Platte, to expedi tiously meet remain*} of a loved one Owho had died in California Bus dine? ift the area operate with» wornaut ° and inadequate equipment ahd» busses leave pas sengers on their own on an 88-* Cihiile gap in riorth Nebi^ska (be tween Valerftine and Gordon). Much air travel out ° of “Rapid City (Sputb Dakota’s « second largest city) is circuitous. June 1, 1953,* the postoffice pee s pie discontinued the railway post cffice car on Ghadron-ftapid <City. Shortly thereafter C&NW ap-: ! pliecf for and received permission to discontinue the “bobtail” train > between those goihts. Erpst pro tested a cost factor in going back ,to rails between those points and pointed to'dow^volame on the 104 mile 3$arsefy populated stretch. But Fay Hill of Gordon, a crisp talking and highly successful cattleman - banker, insisted the volume figures were incomplete Dbecause they didn’t take into ac count new pftssibifities oft. an ac celerated schedule, mail now hauled into the area to the “backdoor” by the Burlington and then trucked. „ Stewart complained the Bur 'ingtdn had been serving North Western points for 18 years and he’d like to have the North West ern serve “Burl” points for the next 18 years, service factors be ing3 “about equal.” (The ““Burl” is a money - making railroad; C&NW in nine states lost 4% million-dollars in 1954.) The paralleling star routes, providing a second round of in coming and outgoing mail daily for small segments of population ® O " - i along the line, innate association officials, particularly # when all i RFD patrons in the nation, most of the urban "population, rryast °of the north-Nebras^a and south ern Soyth Dakota areas get mail only onceaa day. It wouldn’t mat ter, he sa$, “except our last two trains Sre in jeopardy.”" HiH couldn’t understand vvhy parallel “star routes wgre ever ddvised in the area when they turned out "to be, extra PO ex pense. “Why,would tlje postoffice peo ple take mail and revenue from the trains, hire trucks at added expense — all un the interest of getting mail to a few patrons here or there?” he aslted. Messrs. Erryst and JClein agreed’ to chopping off the Chadron-to Gocdon “backtrafk,” wjjich meant a seven-thousand-doljars annual savings. „ ■file train-savers sought means to lop Off “frill” "services to effect savings to fhe p'ostoffice depart ment; then regarded themselves fa a moral positidh to ask the government Jo restore RPO ser vice to Rapid City and thereby “firm up” the last two trains all along the route. , , Ernst agreed "to rerouting of •ome incoming Black Hills mail ■which “would provide train 13 “three or four thousarfd dollars a year extra revenue.7* He said neither the postoffioe department or the railroad could justify the K)4-mile extension: lrain - saving officials la*.~r questioned If Mr. Ernst could speak for the railroad. The crowd was orderly but pressed its points sharply. Mr, Erpst rolled with the punches. In the elimination of the Chadron - to - Gordon “back track” and the rerouting from the Burlington to the North Western, Ernst protested ser vice would be “impaired.” • * ■ h The association had asked that the Norfolk - Oakdale - O’Neill "ruck star route be discontinued. Annual cost of this route is $5, 614, Mr. Ernst said. C&NW could gain $1,18? in revenue (without any increase in expense) and the postoffice department could sa\#e $4,485. - ° “Eleven out of 14 postmasters on the route bitterly opposed the discontinuance snd outbound mail would bq delayed,”' the man from Washington said. Three affected postmasters—lo cated at O’Neill, Inman and Ne ligh — approved the discontinu ance. However, they have other afternoon outlets. On the other hand, the O’Neill bound tru£k leaves Norfolk 'at 1:30 p.m., arrives at O’Neill 4“j20 p.m.—hours after RFD and city delivery carriers have com pleted their rounds. Few people pickup incoming mail at that l^te hour; fewer do anything about it, anyway, until the next day. The O’Neill postoffice is several times larger in mail volume than a half-do^pn of the objecting postoffices combined. O’Neill representatives like “frill” ser vice—but not at the * expense of their last two trains. Mr. Ernst asked if the crowd favored discontinuance of the Oniaha-Norfoik-Oakdale - O’Neill star rout^fe. The crowd shouted “Ye§!” „ „ vjne speaker langpoonea me star routes trucks for hauling cream, produce, chickens, motor Darts and many parcels. He pointed out some of the parcels hauled between towns subtracted from reef-inked postal revenues and some of the other commodi 4ies subtracted from railway ex press business. Anyway you look at it the rails suffer, he insisted. /The government’s study on the Norfolk - Oakdale - O’Neill star route had not included mail count; neither did it reveal char acter bf either incorrting cr outgoing mail. The Norfolk Daily News uses the westbound truck for distribution of its afternoon newspaper. "Julius D. Cronin of O’Neill, immediate past president of the Nebraska Bar association, read a ballot which had been dis tributed td patrons of three of the objecting postoffices on the affected route. The ballot predicted from three r> 36-hour delays on certain types of outgoing mail if the route were abandoned; if it were cutoff the prospects of "ever having it re stored were grimly described. “Please mark an ‘X’ in the ap propriate square below,” the bal lot continued. Mr. Cronin said he considered the ballot “loaded” and sat down. The crowd roared. Obviously on ly one side bf the story had been told and no mention was made of train merits. Asked if the government did a ;ob ol cost accounting when truck star routes were established, Mr. Ernst emphatically stated every thing was considered, time ele ments, o clerks, messengers, mile age, volume. Asked if trucks traveling high ways built >yith 50 percent fed eral participation was a cost fac® tor, hd said “No.’*’ The advertised 9:30 adjourn ment hour and the waiting trains DrovWed a rather abrupt ending, but not until after0 Former U.S. O ? O <*> ° ° O 0 o O O o o o ° o e © " o Senator Eva Bowring of Merri man had a say. She graciously thanked Mr Ernst for the “twelve thousanc lollars” additional mail revenue ■remised and for the “enjoyable lound No. 1.” ° 0 » „ “You’ll come to enjoy Nebras ka,” she rsaid, “because we’re go ng to have you back again: and again. We’re determined to keep "^■ijr trains. .' “You have ^conceded us two of ight points — one-fourth of the loaf of bread. That’s the way I .like bread—one slice at a time.” Entered into the record was a report from the American Asso ciation of Railroads that the rails hauled 85 percent of all intercity mail, charge the lowest average rates (one-eighth of one cent for transportation of the average let ter), provide cdraplete service to and Tom more than 35,000 points in aH seasons and in all weather. Also, that in 1953 the postoffice ’oartment made a profit of 39 nilUon-dollars on first-class mail aauled by railroads. Stewart backed up his figures with a brochure published by the /Association of American Rail roads. “Until somebody domes up with a contradictory set of fig fiyres, these should stand/' he de clared. The bid for mads by rails and ° trucks undoubtedly is every day bill of fare in .Washington, but it’s rather, rare to have 308 persons board special trains, some of them . traveling up to 2.50 miles, in the interest of two passenger - jnail - express rigs fhats hump a 44J-miIe-Iong trail. « * e # f This trail happens to thread through some of the world’s fin est dhttle =and hay producing areas, the north and western part of Nebraska, and lush corn coun try at the eastern end. Somehow 5 nationally important issue got an airing Monday at Bassett, a slpne’^ throw from the whistle post where another group of vig ilanters tamed Wild Kid Wade 71 years ago. » Inman Proud of 0 * Town’s New Band INMAN—The Inman high band had a successful first try at the O’Neill music contest.

Army Cutworms ° on Move in Holt o ° Numerous calls have been re ceived in the county agent’s office on the control of army cutworm. It seems that a heavy infestation has hit the county and is causing “severe: damage” to alfalfa, small , grain and even some native grass es. . ° The large number of worms presents the reason they are termed army cutworms. These worms may be controled by the use of poison baits applied in the evening or spray materials applied during the day. The fol lowing is the recommended treat ment: O Baits are prepared by adding 5: pounds of white arsenic, 4 pounds paris green and 6 pounds of sodium fluosilicate to 10 0 pounds of bran. Mix in two quarts of blackstrap molasses and enough water to make a crumbly mash. Apply at rate af lo pounds bran to the acre, in the evening. Sprays using TDE, also called DDD or Rothane, at 1% pounds of actual TDE per acre, or diel drin, y^ pound per acre, provide quicker kills at low temperatures than other recommended Qma terials. When temperatures are 60 degrees or more, several °iiisec ticides provide good kills. The re commended materials are: Toxa phene, 2 pounds per acre; DDT, 2 pounds per acre; chlordanef 1 % pounds per acre. Sprays0 used in water should be applied with enough water to provide thorough coverage of the plants. 0 O’Neill Eagle* Win Triangular at Neligh © ° A triangular track and field meet was staged Monday at Ne gh> with O’Neill, Plainview and t Veligh high schools competing.
