High Court Rules in Amelia’s Favor (Continued from page 1.) ment gave the Amelia high school a new lease on life and cause for informal celebration when folks gathered 'ruund the piano and sang. Even the bent old grand fathers were visibly elated. Said the high school teacher, Duane Carson: “Folks fought for something they really believed in." Thomas Doolittle, member of the board of education: “We have four little girls. This means they can be at home, with their par ents, that much longer. It’s been my contention all along we should be entitled to send them to high school where we wish—that hap pens to be right here at home. “Just last week we had to bull doze a road open, just as we have to do every winter, all winter. And in the spring it’s the eternal mud. It’s the road that State En gineer L. N. Ress said was a reasonably improved' highway.” •Remote Areas’ Mrs. Glen White offered this: “At one of the hearings the state education officers told us: ‘You shouldn’t live in such remote areas if you want to stay out of such situations’. I resented that attitude." (It was Mrs. White’s repeated letters to the Public Pulse col umn of the Omaha World-Herald that first attracted statewide in terest in the Amelia situation). On the administrate side of Amelia’s question — apart from the road question—Judge Paul W. White in Lancaster district court set aside Amelia’s petition questioning the action of the ,-tate board of education. Commissioner Decker, in a let ter to the Frontier, declared: “Honestly, it does not hurt my feelings to have the high court rule against me. I hav® had it happen before, and it probably will happen again. Our only con cern in this or any other school matter is that children in 1957 get a 1957 type of education. We have some of he finest schools in the nation right here in Nebraska, and we have others in which I know the children are being cheated.” Singles Out Praise The Frontier’s Amelia corres pondent, Miss Florence Lindsey, summed it up this way: “The best news of the year for the Amelia folks was the su preme court’s ruling on the road. “The entire community feels like special thanks should be giv en to Lloyd Waldo and Clyde W'idman, who have attended all kinds of hearings and conferen ces and have given much of their time, money and effort. “Others helped in any way they could. “Everyone at Amelia is very happy!” 'Montana Jack’ Suffers Stroke “Montana Jack” Sullivan, a native O’Neillite who was a na tionally-known boxer in the Corbett-Willard days, recently suffered a stroke at his home in Butte, Mont.

There’s always a wealth of picture-taking possibilities at the seashore or lakeside, because people are relaxed and enjoying themselves, there are no troubles about lighting, and the back ground of blue water and fleecy white clouds is ideal. Vacationists whs follow the few simple rules that come with every roll of film will hare pictures that will keep summer’s enjoyment alive the year around. A word of caution: the light near the water can fool you. The bright sky and the sun reflecting from sand and waves makes the light much stronger than you think. Always treat beach pictures as bright, not aver age, subjects. And when trying some glamour shots of your wife or best girl, avoid the noonday sun. Light coming from directly overhead causes black shadows acound the eyes and squinting by the modeL It's better to take shorcside pictures of people in morning or afternoon. Halibut Cheeks As Lenten Delicacy | I-—-I WITH Lent in the offing house wives and chefs the world over are on the lookout for new fish dishes or new ways to prepare old standbys. Chefs on Canadian National Rail ways dining cars operating In British Columbia, tell of one of the least known but tastiest delicacies to come from the Pacific fishing ground — halibut cheeks. Halibut cheeks are literally what the name Implies—the Jaw muscles found on either side of the halibut’s head, says C.N.R. dining car Chef Bruno W. Barembruch, who runs between Prince Rupert and Jasper. At Prince Rupert, local gourmets have told Chef Barembruch, "Hali but cheeks are a new adventure in eating." Chef Joseph A. Laroque, who runs on the Super-Continental in ms and out of Vancouver, says there j is a real difference in the texture of halibut cheeks and the rest ot the halibut. In the cheek the flesh is gathered Into bundles of flbree which are long and which shread, rather than flake. The cheeks are high in flavor, succulent and tender. A 20-pound halibut will yield a cheek a little under a quarter of a pound and an 150-pound halibut will provide cheeks weighing a full pound. Cooking methods are numerous. The cheeks can be served In all ths ways used for white flsh fillets. They may be dipped in batter and deep fried; they can be pan fried or broiled with butter. They are said to be unusually delicious when poached in white wine with mush* rooms and small silver onions. Also, they may be served "a* gratin’* style with a cheese sauce.
