Letters to the Editor O'Neill Parent Takes Issue On School Ad O'Neill, Nebr April 25, 1960 Iiear Sirs; There are a few points I would like to make in reply to the letter published last week concerning the school issue. 1. The school board members are ! elected by the people, as the chosen representatives of the people, and; therefore the implication that the signers of this letter are more re- j presentative of the people is arro gant and ridiculous 2. Their reasons for wanting the new school in south O'Neill are very questionable. A. What is their basis for say ing there are more children in south O’Neill? This seems doubtful, but even if true it couldn't be enough to make any difference. For years, people buying homes, who thought it important to ire near school, have bought near the pre sent school. This school is only two blocks from the center of town. In a town as small as O'Neill, it's silly to make an issue of this. E. I cannot think of a single good location available in south O' Neill. C. The town is obviously grow ing to the North more than to the south. 3. It seems to me the only legiti mate question they have raised is whether to build a grade school or a high school. Personally, I favor a high school, but would like to hear more about this point if it is real thinking, und not just trouble making. 4. Surely this can all be done in an adult manner, without anger, and with respect for the other fel lows point of view. These are our own children, and they represent our future. They should have the best we can afford, for their own sakes, and for the good of the community. O'Neill Parent Music Contest (continued from page 1) Hoys’ High Voice. Superior — Max Young, Atkinson.

If Jesus came to your house If Jesus came to your house to spend a day or two And He came in unexpected, I yon der what you’d do. Oh! I know you'd give your nicest room to such an honored guest .And all the food you'd serve to Him would be your very' best. And you would keep assuring Him you’re glad to have him there, That serving Him, Thus, in your home, is joy beyond compare. But when you see Him coming would you meet Him at the door With your arms outstretched in welcome to your heavenly vis itor? Or would you have to change your clothes, before you let Him in? Or hide some magazines and put the Bible where they’d been? Would you run turn off the radio, and hope He hadn’t heard? And wish you hadn’t uttered that last, loud, hasty word. Would you hide your worldly mu sic and put some hymn books out? Could you let Jesus walk right In or would you rush about, Then I wader, If the Savior spent a day or two with you. Would you go r.gtu on doing the things you always do? Would you keep right on a saying the things you always s. > j And would your life continue thoughtless as it does from day to d&y. Would your family conversation keep up its usual pace. .And would you find it hard each meal to say the tannly grace? Would >\xi sing the skuigs you al ways s- tig and rend die boons you read. And let Him know the things on i which your mind and spirit fed? Would you take Jesus with you ev ery where you'd planned to go? Or would you maybe change > ur plans for just a day or so? Would you be glad to have Him meet your closest friends? Or would you hope they d st. > away, untill His visit ends? Would you be glad to h.ve Him stay forever, on and on, Or would you sigh with great re lief when He at last was gone? It might be intereating to know just what we each would do, If Jesus came in person to spend a day or two.
