Christ Evangelical Lutheran
church here, organized in 1941
and now numbering 143 commun
icant members, this week moved
toward completion of a 75-thous
and-dollar church.
Robert E. Miller, trustee, said
35-thousand-dollars w'orth of 4 to
percent first mortgage serial
coupon bonds are being offered
for sale.
Christ Lutheran acquired real
estate at the corner of Seventh
and Clay streets about five years
ago and commenced the building
project. All church functions have
been carried on in the “finished” |
basement since that time. Earlier,
services were held in a frame
building in West O’Neill (since
transformed into a duplex apart
ment).
The proposed new building will
be of contemporary Gothic style
with a buff brick exterior trim
med with stone. There will be a
24—ft. copper covered spire. The
nave will seat 256 persons and
choir 17 persons.
A church office will bo located
on the main floor. The present
basement will be converted into
a large assembly room which will
provide Sunday-school space.
Presently the basement includes
storage space and a fully-equip
ped kitchen.
Recent pastors have been Rev.
R. W. Olson, now in Wisconsin,
and Rev. E. G. Smith, who is now
an army chaplain. Temporarily
Christ Lutheran is without a res
ident pastor.
The O’Neill National bank has
been designated paying agent.
Wilson Crack
Brings Reaction
Remark Is ‘Asinine*,
Gen. Wood Says
Secretary of Defense Charles
Wilson’s statement before the
house armed services committee
has created a reaction among
guardsmen and friends of the
guards here.
Wilson charged the national
guard was “sort of a scandal
during the Korean war” when
he said it was used as a “draft
dodging business” to escape
fighting in Korea.
Maj.-Gen. Warren Wood of
Gering. commanding officer of
the 34th infantry division, Iowa
Nebraska national guard, la
belled Wilson’s statement as
“asinine”.
“Many guard divisions served
in Korea. . . we had units over
there. . . and we were always
willing to go at anytime," Wood
declared.
Maj.-Gen. Guy N. Hennlger of
Lincoln, commander of the Ne
braska national guards said. “It
is regrettable that an attack
should be made on 408,000
guardsmen throughout the Unit
ed States by an official in a high
position when he is so ill-in
formed." ....
O'Neill’s guard unit, which in
cludes five officers and 80 en
listed men. was not organized
until June, 1955—after the Ko
rean war.
New regulations by the de
fense department may jeopardize
O’Neill’s chances of getting a
200-thousand - dollar armory,
which has been sought for 18
months. Units must have 200
or more men to qualify for new
armories. The defense depart
ment also plans to order young
guardsmen to six months of ac
tive duty.
