Lincoln People ‘Demand* Millions
By ROMAEVE SAUNDERS, Retired, Former Editor The Frontier
LINCOLN—The Lincoln city council has been
holding night sessions dealing with the problem of
spreading a municipal budget of over 16-million
dollars across official limits. Something over two
million has been earmarked for the construction
of an auditorium between 15th and 16th streets at
N. How the millions flutter out to meet the de
mands of “we the people,” who
o are growling about high taxes!
The die-hard problem of
city bus lines looms again, the
city officials are called upon by
salesmen for Lincoln’s street
transportation system and it ap
pears to be either that or an in
crease in bus fares. The fare now
is 15 cents, or two tokens for 25
cents. A gent who occupies a pew
in the circle at the city council
deliberations flaunted on his Romaine
campaign banner one election the Saunders
claim that “I gave you the five-cent bus fare” as
a good reason why he should be elected again.
No more is heard from that councilman on that
score.

Since pioneer days new industries have ven
tured forth with a flourish to revolutionize the
commercial activities in O’Neill, flourished for a mo
ment and passed away. Here comes another! A
school, a training ground, or should we say a pud
dle of water, with instructors adornepl in the mid
dle with breechcloths, teaching old and young to
swim. Shades of the past! The old timers who swam
in times of high water from the Elkhorn half way
to Chambers look on and laugh. Teaching how to
swim, side stroke, dog fashion, the sweeping move
ment and some other nonsense. If you are out in
deep water 20 rods from land you head landward
as nature inspires. But maybe an organized, well
directed group of partly clad, water-soaked stu
dents at an uptown swimming pool is an improve
ment over the gang of naked kids and men diving
& into the swimming holes along the Eikhom, float
ing in the limpid waters and coming out to race
along the bank, turn a summersault and dive in.

The wind blows from off the hot hills and
▼ales of Kansas. The radio tells us this morning
that the glaring celestial orb will pour out 100
in the shade by noon. Nothing new, ’twas that
yesterday and the day before. The new moon
the 22nd brought us a shower and cooling winds
from the north. Give us more new moons.
* * *
Preach peace. Prepare for battle. Congress au
thorizes a “reserve” army of 2,900,000. Maybe the
way to insure peace is to keep the other side fear
ful. A group of Soviet farmers is visiting prairie
land. They should discover that here dwells a con
tented people who are neither fearful nor distrust
ful, a people capable of defending their homes,
their rights and their sacred traditions if need be,
but a people who prefer to subdue a potential foe
• through hospitality.

Murder and suicide. The regrettable thing
about it is that Pettijohn did not kill himself
first.
Fifty odd years ago the sire of a lad living out
in the Redbird locality had a notice published re
leasing parental control over the lad and turning
him loose to travel the highway of life as he saw
fit. Dad’s notice included the warning that he
would not make good any debt the young fellow
might become involved in. . . About that time, or
in the summer of 1902, the school board had prob
lems then as now—build an addition to the school
house that stood on the hill. . . Miss Nellie Hagerty
arrived home a day in July that year from Boston,
Mass., where she had been taking music in one
of the studios of that city and opened a studio in
O’Neill for those desiring piano lessons. . . W. J.
Holden, accompanied by Mrs. Holden and their
daughter, came up from Chambers a morning in
August that year in time for Mrs. Holden and her
daughter to board the morning train going east,
taking off for Indiana for a protracted visit.

A restless Yankee from San Francisco, Calif.,
is over in Turkey fitting out an exploring setup

Turncoat—a term that brands one with a stig
ma. I do not like it. Have you at some time trudg
ing the highway of life discovered you were fol
lowing a wrong course bearing on some phase of
daily thinking and living? Most of us have. Thus
was brought about a change in living and thinking.
Turncoat? No. It is thought of as a change for the
better. The late Jim Davidson and the engineer
of this department, when kids, palled up one sum
mer. It was from the indescribable Jim that I first
heard that word, “turncoat,” used. Jim learned of
a democrat—he was a fierce disciple of the party
of Thomas Jefferson—who had changed his party
affiliation and was marching under the banner of
Abraham Lincoln. Jim branded him as a turncoat.
On the other hand, I felt impelled to rejoice that
another patriot had seen the light.

President Eisenhower appeared as the com
manding figure at the Geneva conference of the
world powers. What more may be the fruitage of
the historic gathering will be seen in days to
come. The Russian delegates listened to the Amer
ican chief and all but said amen. The reds of Rus
sia are learning little by little, are afraid of the
reds of China and may yet want help from us. An
exchange of delegations of clodhoppers who are
learning how the others farm is an eye-opener and
may help in paving the way to peace between the
two countries

Back today from Yellowstone national park,
he told me he had caught 18 mountain trout, but
not a fish scale to show for it. Yellowstone lake is
spanned by a long bridge known as fishermen’s
bridge. Here cars park and the nimrods line up
along the bridge edge and cast in, the water, ice
cold from mountain snows, is said to be alive with
trout. At that, the fun may be no more exciting
than Ray Bly and Prairieland Talker experienced
the day our canoe upset and we were spilled into
the limpid waters of a sandhills lake.
Editorial . . .
Congress in Killing Mood
Congress killed two super highway financing <
bills in the final days before adjournment The
killing will have, among other things, the effect
of delaying construction of the much-ballyhooed
four-lane divided interstate highway between Om
aha and Lincoln, which very few folks from the
O’Neill region ever will have necessity to use.
The 1955 legislature increased truck and cer
tain automobile fees to provide about one million
dollars a year for this route.
Gov. Victor Anderson now says it would be
wiser to hold the money intended for this super
highway until congress convenes next year and
does something about financing such a link in the
defense transportation system. He pointed out it
would be foolish to spend two dollars and get only
three dollars of federal money, when, by waiting
the ratio might be as high as eight or nine federal
dollars for one state dollar. This is another
example of the demand for federal handouts,
whereas actually it matters lit/tie from which pot
the money comes.
An interesting sidelight comes to mind with
reference to the Nebraska legislature on the super
highway issue. State Sen. Frank Nelson of O’Neill
told the lawmakers (and it’s a matter of record)
they were a little hasty and presumptuous in cre
ating matching funds for super highways ahead of
the congress.
“For that reason,” he told the unicameral sen
ators, “I will have to vote against establishing
funds for super highways at this time.”
This is another example of Senator Nelson’s
conservative keenness and sharp analysis of a mon
ey-spending situation.
Safety on the Farm
Of all the countries in the world, America is
the leader in mechanized agriculture. In recent
years thousands of tractors and other farm ma
chinery have operated efficiently throughout the
country, bringing to an end many back-breaking
time-consuming jobs formerly done by hand. But
the record of achievement of these labor-saving
devices has been marred by their heavy toll of ac
cidents.
According to the National Safety council, there
are more accidents with tractors than any other
piece of farm equipment. Since many of these mis
haps result from careless operation, such as falls,
and overturning of tractors, the use of good judge
ment would prevent a large majority of such ac
cidents. Aother particularly hazardous piece of
farm equipment, the corn picker, also has a serious
accident record.
By a very simple precaution—TURNING OFF
THE POWER when cleaning these machines—most
mishaps could be avoided.
Electricity, too, has brought its share of acci
dents. Everyone should understand how to avoid
shock. The human body is a good conductor of
electric current. Materials ordinarily considered
non-conductive will act as a conductor when damp
or wet. All wire fixtures and appliances should be
installed and maintained so as to make it impos
sible for an adult or child to receive a shock.
It is generally agreed that most accidents on
the farm could be prevented.
Strange things are happening. A few weeks
ago it was duly announced any Russians visiting
the United States would be barred from strategic
areas (including the Omaha-Lincoln-Offutt air
base zone). The Russian agricultural delegation
(not dirt farmers at all but all with red govern
ment titles) got around plenty and even enjoyed
a free day to roam in Omaha.
C of C Launches Member Drive
It’s that season of the year when the Chamber
of Commerce launches its annual membership
drive. A budget of five thousand dollars is needed
to make up a deficit and to undertake a series of
activities similar to last year’s. A lesser amount of
funds derived through memberships will mean
fewer activities.
The Chamber of Commerce repeatedly is call
ed upon for support of dozens of activities which
are not necessarily spectacular, but all of which
help to make this a better community in which to
live. Some of these activities are not strictly local
in character but regional in scope—as it should
be—because O’Neill is the largest city in the re
gion.
The Chamber’s log of activities during the 12
months—July 1, 1954 to June 30, 1955—includes
these undertakings financed wholly or in part by
the Chamber: Attendance at highway booster and
improvement meetings, expansion of yule street
lighting, sponsorship of a seven-state meeting of
soil conservation officials, pancake day, turkey
day, Santa’s visit and treat, publication of O’Neill
brochures, Holt county calf show and sale, spon
sorship of national guard establishment, 4-H
achievement day, save-the-trains activities, 4-H
fun night, new industries activities, registered live
stock association trophies, yule decoration awards,
Boy Scouts.
Membership fees have been revised upward
for the new year and a larger budget adopted. The
new budget is intended to eliminate added solicita
tion for Chamber activities.
The Chamber merits and needs the support of
every business and professional man and woman
in the city as well as many of O’Neill’s farmer and
rancher friends. •
Aviation engineers say they have developed a
means of cutting down on jet engine noise. No
need to rush this into production, fellows. Right
now the average home-owner can’t hear the jets
above the din of his neighbor’s power mower.

Chapman Rugged
The visit to O’Neill a few weeks
ago of Lawrence Chapman of Chi
cago, 111., now head of the claims
department of one of the country’s
biggest indemnity firms, stirred
football memories in the minds of
O’Neill high grid greats of yester
year.
Chapman, an attorney, is in
charge of all western claims for
the Royalty group.
Chapman was rugged on the
football field and he teamed up
with Frank O’Donnell, Bill Barn
ard, the late Bill Biglin, the late
Pat Kane, and others in the early
1900’s.
Chapman had quite a reputa
tion as a drummer, too, and his
services were in demand by dance
band leaders and the dancing pub
lic up-and-down the line.
A native O’Neillite, Charles
Ryan, who attended Neligh high
school, recently had occasion to
publish the following article about
O’Neill football, 1908 style, in a
West coast newspaper. The clip
ping (handed to this department
by Leo Carney) follows:
“I was bom in O’Neill, grew
up in Neligh. We were on the Elk
hom river and our cavalcade of
sports was mostly centered around
that stream.
“In returning to O’Neill to play
football, the going was apt to be
tough for an Irishman opposing
the Irish O’Neill team. Our pro
fessor got a former Doane college
player to come up and drill our
team in the mysteries of the for
ward pass.
“The year was 1908 and the
news that such a pass was legal
had not penetrated the fastness of
the sandhills.
“I played fullback, and while
the O’Neill master-minds were
thumbing through the rules book,
I was pitching regularly to our
unbothered ends.
“The field was littered with
sweat and tears of Irish frustra
tion and some little blood. A char
acter named Murphy, who worked
in the blacksmith shop full time
except for football season—when
he attended school for a couple of
months—couldn’t fathom the se
cret weapon.
“Murphy was a wide broth of a
lad. Being bald-headed he wore
his headgear at all times. Unless
he could come to grips with the
enemy, he was powerless.
“It was a sad day for the Irish.
You no doubt have heard about
O'Neill. Frank Leahy of Notre
Dame lived there before he went
to South Dakota. The young guys
mostly went on to Creighton uni
versity in Omaha.
“I am in Vauclain hospital for
treatment of a tuberculosis condi
tion. Maybe a couple of months
yet. I’m an illustrator and have
just done a picture in color of
Rocky Mardano.
“I worked for years freelance
in New York City and Los Ange
les, Calif.—did many covers and
illustrations for the L.A. Times
magazine.”

Death of a Shrew
The August issue of The Read
er’s Digest contains a story about
a half ounce mammal, the com
mon shrew, described as the
fiercest animal on earth.
A shrew is so savage, the arti
cle states, that it will attack, kill
and devour animals twice its size.
It has such a prodigious appetite
that it can eat the equivalent of
its own weight about every three
hours. This voracious predator
bums energy so fast that if de
prived of food it will starve to
death in less than a day.
Shrews are to be found in most
parts of the world. It looks like a
wee mouse with a sharp pointed
muzzle, tiny eyes that are barley
visible, velvety dark-grey fur.
An adult shrew measures about
three inches long.
Probably not one person in one
hundred is aware of ever having
seen a shrew, yet in many coun
try sides it is the commonest of
all.
Durven Kipple, a clerk at the
O’Neill postoffice, is a naturalist
of a sort. At least he promptly
identified one of the little assas
sins which was paying a visit to
the postoffice last week.
Mr. Shrew was knocking him
self out trying to get into the
postoffice from the west side.
Kipple spotted the blood-thirsty
killer and fed the ravenous little
fellow some meat. The shrew
I"1""
gobbled up the uninteresting hand
out very quickly, shaking in
spasms of excitement. It was such
a soft touch Mr. Shrew proceed
ed to die from hunger within the
next few hours.
Kipple shrugged his shoulders
and walked unceremoniously
away from the corpse.
“Just as well.” he exclaimed.
“He couldn’t live very long off
postage stamps!”—Cal Stewart.
Camp Meeting Planned—
The annual camp meeting of
the interdenominational Pine
Creek Holiness Camp association
will be held Thursday, August 4,
to Sunday August 14 at the camp
grounds located 12 miles north of
Long Pine. The camp officials say
there is good shade, nights are
cool, bring your bedding, a good
place to take your family for a
time of physical and spiritual re
freshment.
