Flash! Editor Erred
on 53 Sundays Item
Each weekend a Frontier
staffer descends to the base
ment to dig into musty old
files (they are bound volumes
but naturally show their age).
The staffer devotes several
hours to perusing the old issues,
gleaning bits of interest which
are published each week in an
editorial page feature titled
“When You and I Were
Young.”
Sometimes the editor ques
tions the readership value of
the bits from out of the past.
In the January 5 issue in the
50 years ago section our gleaner
came up with this line:
“The year just closed (1905)
has had 53 Sundays, a circum
stance that will never occur
again during the lives of per
sons now living. One hundred
ten years will pass before this
arrangement of the calendar is
again observed.”
The foregoing paragraph was
reproduced verbatim from the
old files.
Last week’s issue had not
been in the mail long before
the phone began ringing. The
mail produced response, too.
Wrote Very Rev. Timothy O’
Sullivan, pastor of St. Patrick’s
Catholic church here:
“Dear Editor: I think anyone
who will live through 1956 will
have 53 Sundays for church
going and will not have to live
59 more years (until 2015).
Kindly regards . . . sincerely
yours.”
From Mrs. James Lieb of At
kinson came this note:
“Dear Editor: Would like to
call your attention to an article
in today’s (January 5) issue of
The Frontier in the 50 years
ago news. Your article stated
there were 53 Sundays in 1905
and that 53 Sunday’s in a year
won’t occur again for 110 years.
If you will look at your 1956
calendar you will find this year
(1956) has 53 Sundays.”
The response to this incident
confirms for the editor that
“When You and I Were Young”
enjoys a high readership and
never again will thq degree of
interest in the gleanings from
the past be questioned.

It Happened In NEBRASKA

Once steamboat races were common on the Missouri, even though
excessive steam pressures resulted in explosions and disaster. In the
heat of the race, every possible combustible material was thrown into
the boiler furnace to build up steam: Pitch, lard, butter — even whole
sides of bacon!
