Pleasant Day Club
Pays Costs
About four years ago members
of the Pleasant Day extension
club started collecting money
with which to purchase an iron
lung for use at St. Anthony’s hos
pital. ihe drive began with a
barn dance at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. Blake Benson.
Meanwhile, in discussing the
matter with a physician and the
Sisters at the hospital, they aban
doned the lung idea and, instead,
set their sights on a hydraulic
lifter (to lift heavy and helpless
patients from bed-to-chair-to
bed) and a croup tent (with elec
tric pump which forces a fine
spray of medication into the
tent).
They reasoned these pieces
of equipment would have great
er use than an iron lung.
Pleasant Day clubbers pressed
hard for funds and neighboring
clubs made money contributions.
This week the porto-lift was
presented to the hospital and the
croup tent is enroute from the
factory—all bought and paid for.
Making the presentation were
Mrs. Albert Stearns, president;
Mrs. Albert Widtfeldt, vice-pres
ident, and Mrs. William Claussen,
secretary-treasurer.

Plans for actual construction of
a national guard armory in O’
Neill, to house company D of the
195th tank battalion, were fur
thered Monday when Col. Walter
E. McConnaughey of the corps of
army engineers and Wilmar
Johnson, engineer for the Nebras
ka military department, studied
three proposed sites.
O’Neill is in line for a 180- to
200-thousand-dollar armory to be
paid for by the defense deoart-,
ment. To qualify for the building
the city must furnish the site.
The inspectors favored the
north-half of the last block on
North Fpurth street (immediately
across the street south of the
Harry E. Ressel residence). The
engineers indicated, if the real
estate can be procured, the arm
ory would face east.
The proposed armory would
be a duplicate of the recently
completed Norfolk armory
which cost 180-thousand-dollars
plus fixtures and furnishings.
Title of the preferred site is
held by Roy Spindler. Alternate
sites are the Spelts-Ray lots (east
of Prospect Hill cemetery) and
the Hickey block (east of the
Spindler property).
Statutes provide for procuring
land through condemnation pro
ceedings. The city could purchase
the land at a “fair price” with
registered warrants. No bond is
sue or vote would be required.
Main floor of the armory would
measure 60x9.0 ft. Basically the
armory would be a military estab
lishment, but it would be made
available for certain types of pub
lic affairs.
In the delegation escorting the
inspectors were Mayor Alva Mar
cellus, James W. Rooney (chair
man of the Chamber of Com
merce new industries committee),
G. E. Miles (president of the
Chamber), Councilman Fred
Heermann and Capt. J. L. Mc
Carville, jr., Lt. Ben Vidricksen
and M/Sgt. E. W. Kramer of
company D.
Report on the inspection was
made at Monday’s Chamber of
Commerce meeting attended by
20.
Procedure calls for a request
for the land, condemnation or out
right purchase by the city, trans
fer of title to the defense depart
ment, approval by the national
guard bureau and bureau of the
budget in Washington W.C.
Construction would start in
1957 with architectural plans
completed this year. The area
would be landscaped.
Meanwhile company D has
added nine new members during
the past fortnight bringing its
strength to 67. Company D has
been the most active recruiting
unit in the state since October 1.
Prospective guardsmen and
parents are invited to the tempo
rary armory Monday night for a
special briefing and question
and-answer session, Lieutenant
Vidncksen said.

New Fire Station
Needed t o House
3 Trucks, Apparatus

ning decided to place a 20-thou
sand-dollar bond issue before the
voters at the Tuesday, April 3

be used to finance construction of
a 50x60-ft. fire station on South
Fourth street lots immediately
south of the city hall. Architec
tural plans have not been drawn.

truck which will be provided by
the O’Neill rural fire protection
district.

thousand-dollars.
