No Shadow

By RQ MAINE SAUNDERS, 4110 South but St-, Lincoln 6, Nebr.
There are hogs in Nebraska, the four legged kind
anti the two legged human kind. There is no ground
hog to see his shadow on the February day fancy
has set up as groundhog day, but there was one
Groundhogs Day when a page
was added to early American
history, wherf the first Lincoln,
Gen. Benjamin Lincoln brought
an end to Shays Rebellion. That
was Feb. 2, 1787. Feb. 2, 1960
no sunshine, no shadow. From
that date may!* not just six
weeks winter but seven or eight
more weeks of it.

Not since the days of O. M.
Kem who was the last of the
once numerous populist group
to go to Washington as congres
sman and tipped the Pullman porter with a nickel on
his first train ride across the country has Broken
Bow down in Custer county been in public notice
politically. Now State Senator Williams down there
steps up and performs the first act to get his name
on the primary ballot seeking the Republican nomi
nation for governor. It would lx* grand to have a
capable citizen from north central Nebraska ad
minister the affairs of state as our governor. Think
I’ll vote for him.

Groups of Holt county patriots interested in irriga
tion have been meeting in O’Neill, at the courthouse,
at the schoolhouse. You don't irrigate that way. Go
out on the prairie and pour it on by the bucket full.
On my last Holt county prairie home as I dug a post
hole I had a well. The grass grew green and long,
gardens yielded abundantly, cows fed to the full to
lay down in the shade, apple trees loaded for neigh
Imr kids to look up to longingly. You can get all you
neial on the prairies of Holt county without this ir
rigated stuff.

Grandma of a generation now no more stood
among the flowers by the garden fence and visited
face to face with Aunt Ann, who leaned against a
l>ost on her side of the fence and did her share of the
bilking. Step up to your telephone today and dial a
number. You get the busy buzz thats it, modern
grandmas are visiting, not face to face, but by voice
only a few blocks apart, rxm’t have to don your best
duds to go visiting by telephone.

A midwinter day* After many days of clouded
gloom, up there this morning in heaven’s blue glows
again the sun in golden glory. I shall put on a coat
and the big hat that Billy McNichols sent me and
walk abroad in the open for a time Housed up day
alter day one begins to feel as the late Judge Ma
lone once said to me as we hobnobbed together in
the old courthouse, 1 letter get outside and let the
wind blow the smell off!

No national issues to stir up interest this coming
presidential election. But Americans must have
some exciting things to chew the rag about at elec
tion time. Looks now' that it will lie Church and
State this time if Senator Kennedy is the Dem
ocratic candidate for president. If a citizen’s hope
of life beyond this Vale of Tears does not disqualify
him to serve his country as U. S. Senator is should
not keep him out of the White House.

Snow and ice, six weeks of it as we step across
the line into the second week in February. Cloudy,
gloomy but calm, no winter blizzards roaring in all
their fury across our Capitol City. Sunshine for a
moment, then over head up there beyond the reach
of human hand one vast mass of gloom. Down here
below a blanket of white purity marred here and
there by human feet and the four-wheeled outfits j
they rush about in. And soon the white robe dis- ,
appears, a green robe across the land, golden rods, .
roses and morning glories in bloom. Just set back j
in your easy chair and in vision see it all.

The State Has A Plan
f
lilt.' IllJll V^UUIIl)r IVl'Ul^ctlllAcUIUM UWUlllllllCt*
sued a statement last week that they were required
by the state committee to submit a plan for reor
ganization of Holt county school districts.
This requirement, together with the state law
that Nebraska rural teachers must have at least
40 semester hours of college accreditation, means
just one thing. We are almost certain to lie reor
ganized — whether we like it or not.
Of 108 teachers now teaching in Holt county,
only 53 will be allowed to teach again next year
unless some of the remaining 55 do something about
improving their certificates.
The basic reason for lack of certificate approval
seems to he in the teaching methods courses. Teach
ers who have been teaching in our rural schools
for as many as 25 years are being told that they
aren’t using the proper methods in teaching and
must go to school to learn the methods approved by
the state committee.
Nebraska is running behind our neighbor states
in reorganization, but Nebraska has problems that
those states do not have to consider.
The stute has a solution to speed up the reor
ganization. Cut in half the number of teachers
allowed to teach in the state and it should cut the
number of districts in half. We don't think it will
work.
A Solid Investment . . .
Windom, Minnesota
We were somewhat surprised to read last week
that land prices in Iowa are still on the rise. This
in the face of a condition that steadily reveals that
the farmer is not advancing in income along with
labor and industry. How to explain it we do not
know. But we do know that a considerable number
of folks out here in the wide open spaces know that
there’s something solid and dependable about land.
It’s designed and it’s the only medium for raising
fixxl And people will always need food, no matter
what a few fantastic scientists may say about sub
sistence pills, etc. Besides we enjoy eating, all of
us. If you have some good farm land do not get
panicky. There’s a future for the intelligent farmer.
We’ll always need food.
A Salute To A Scoutmaster
In almost every community in America, you
will find this man.
He is engaged in one of the most exciting tasks
known, he works with boys- and in case you haven’t
worked with youngsters lately, they are still the most
energetic, imaginative, enthusiastic animals to grace
the earth. He is an indoor worker who teaches how
to get along in the outdoors. A practicing expert in
a multitudinous variety of minute-sized details.—
He arms his charges with ideals, tents, cooking kits,
and fervor and guides them into adventures to pre
pare them for life ahead—He leads boys by arousing
their enthusiasm ’til they run ahead of him to do the
job. He comforts them in perilous times with his
presence and stability.—He teaches citizenship by
letting them run a camp in the wilderness.
If he quits, moves away, or dies, his is one of
the most difficult jobs to fill.
Yet, if he does his job well, his only pay will be
the deep personal satisfaction of knowing that he has
contributed immeasurably towards developing the
kind of citizen which we consider ideal.
A strong man, who knows where he’s going, and
an extremely popular man in the eyes of the future
generation -- this is the SCOUTMASTER.

The Depression ... t
Waseca, Minnesota
Not having lived through the depression, it is
little wonder that the present generation looks upon
those people who lived during that time as “old
Fogies”.
This was brought to mind only last week when
a Waseca father told alx>ut being questioned by his
daughter about what his salary was in those days.
She recalled his talking about it but she couldn’t
believe the figures she had in mind could possibly
be correct. After he told her, there was still an
expression of doubt on her face.
Fact is that in the 30's he figured he was lucky
to have a job at 20c an hour. Women were working
for 17c. And he was doubly fortunate, in his mind,
when he was made a foreman at 25c an hour.
Is it any wonder that these “old fogies” go j
around turning off lights and shutting water faucets ,
after a wasteful generation? Should we wonder j
that an older generation should be puzzled about |
the money a younger generation is spending and
the debts they incur? It just cannot be otherwise
for those who saw how tough things can get.
Those days fostered liberalism. And we launch
ed into it to the hilt with a ponderous public debt
added for good measure.
What did this liberalism accomplish? Not what j
they told us it would. Not what the supporters plan- j
ned or expected. They were sincere in the belief !
that it would bring more opportunity for the little
fellow and a greater and more equal distribution of
the wealth.
In that regard it has failed. It has failed regard
less of what the supporters of liberalism tell us
It has become harder and harder for the little fel
low, on the farm, in business or on the job to sur
vive. A small farmer must become a big farmer j
or die. A new farmer must have wealthy parents
or he hasn't much of a chance to launch himself
into farming. Other businesses are the same. Either
they must be big or they cannot survive. What
chance has the ordinary individual of getting a big
business. None. He must start small, but he cannot
start small and survive.
Open your eyes readers. See where these false
prophets of liberalism have led you. Grant that they
were sincere. They were not dishonest. But they
were mistaken.

A Poem
From Mrs. Eby ...
Twenty-five years ago this poem
appeared in the Frontier. It was
handed in by a friend as a tribute
to the late Dr. J. P. Gilligan a
pioneer O'Neill physician and
surgeon. Dr. Gilligan died on
September 28, 1930.
The Country Doctor
No waiting room of luxury and
pretty white clad nurse
i o copy ouwn your msiory anu
estimate your purse.
Instead a well worn shabby
room, himself to greet you then*,
With keen blue eyes to note
your need as he tilted in a swivel
chair,
Somehow you lose your panic,
your dark fears drop away,
As he talks of crops and weat
her and passes the time of day.
Before you leave you're grin
ning and your chin comes up
again
And you’re sure the sun shines
somewhere behind todays cold
rain.
He had no shining limousine to
purr on well paved street,
But a sturdy car that goes be
yond where mud and pavement
meet.
-He churns along pithout com
plaint where an anxious woman
stands
Waiting in open doorway with a
lamp held in her hands.
His patients are not smartly
clothed the sleet white colored
i clan:
Instead perhaps in overalls,
dead pale beneath his tan,
A man with twisted leg lies still
and seeks with pain filled eyes.
The door-way when the Doctor
comes there peace from torture
lies.
*1 think when Gabriel blows his
horn a special greeting waits,
The man with little well worn
bag bepond the golden gates.
Somehow I sort a wonder if he
won’t be last indeed,
For his happiness has always
been in tending those who need.
