Prove Leadership in 4-H Work EuU Mu Sche«r Two teenage Nebraskans share top leadership honor? in the Comhusker State in 4-H Club competition. Miss Eula Mae Scheer, 17, daughter of Mr. and Mrs Oscar W. Scheer of Arlington, where she lives on the family's 180 acre farm, will be awarded an all expense trip to Chicago for the National 4-H Club Congress, Nov. 20 30. Miss Scheer will be guest of the Sears-Roebuck Foundation, sponsor of the leadership awards, and will be eligible to compete for a $400 scholarship. Her ability to work with others and assume the responsi bility for club members’ proj ects has helped develop her leadership qualities. She is assistant 4-H leader of the Cheerful Homemakers Club. A high school senior, she has been class officer, editor of the high school year book and member of the National Honor Society. She is treasurer of the Washington county 4-H Club. Gary Pick “I hope that 1 will be able to encourage others to think for themselves, so that some day they, too, can become leaders,” says Miss Scheer. Gary Fick, 18, son of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Fick of Inman, where the family has a 2,760 acre farm, is co-winner in the leadership program. He will compete for one of the $400 scholarships. Young Fick is a freshman at the University of Nebraska, where he is an agriculture major. Fick’s 4-H awards include the following: Holt county honor medals in safety, conservation, achievement and forestry. Also, four trips to State 4-H Club Week, two trips to the National itange Judging contest, and last year a Chicago congress trip. During an eight-year 4-H membership he has helped younger members complete projects, and has himself car ried a full schedule. Letters to the Editor Whiting, Iowa December 11, 1%1 Dear Sir: Do you know that you have the most beautiful Christmas lighted street that I have ever seen? It is beauiful with all its rainbow colors and systematic arrange ment. Its light canopy effect with no ugly scars of commercial ad verting is most facinating and its modest aire of serenity is most unusual. The blending of light and relative position ar rangement are near to perfect. From the east end of the street treat your eyes to a beauty surge and then as you drive westward I’m sure that you will feel as if passing beneath the Arc-de Triumph. It is so appropriate in as much as it expresses through out the Christmas spirit of Peace and Goodwill. Thank you and a Merry Christ mas. 4. E. MaoClure Stuart, Nebr. Mi*. Saunders Dear Sir: I am going to scribble you a few line* as I enjoy your part in the O’Neill paper so much. I am wondering if yoa knew my father, Joseph Axtell?

Phone 86-W in Verdigre 26 miles north ol Atkinson in 1881 My mother came to Holt county and settled near there with her fathtT and mother and three sisters. They all went through some scary times with Indians, as well as hard times with drought, hail and grasshop pers. In 1886 mother and papa were married, had apretty hard life but a happy one. Papa bored wells to help make a living so was gone a lot from home. Mo ther sewed for the neighbors as she was a seamstress by trade, but money was so scarce they paid her with whatwer they had that she could use and a very little pay at that. You living down south likely knew Harry White and his fam ily and Fishers and Jay Roby lers. We were very good friends My father passed away in 1911. Mother and I stayed on the ranch until my health failed, so moved here to Stuart and my mother passed away four years ago at 105 years old. So, now I am alone and lonely, try to be a blessing and keep busy. I am wondering if you were ever out to Inistin. Used to be a store, school, a church, black smith shop and printing office. The paper was called the D.istin Dispatch. I wonder if you would be interested in it? Of course Dustin has been gone for years, like so many country stores which were such a blessing. There was a lodge hall over the store and once a year they had a big oyster feed. Of course, we all came in wagons or a buggy, if lucky enough to own one and we really did have good times. Had literary and debates in the school twice a month during the winter and really had some hot arguments. Well, Mr. Saunders, I’ve en joyed writing to you Perhaps you will read this and say, she doesn’t know what she’s talking about, or you may throw it in the wastebasket without reading it. Which ever it is, it’s O K. with me as it only cost 4 cents and I’ve enjoyed thinking over old times. I am yours truly. Pearle Ax tell, Stuart, Nebr. Royal News By Mrs. R. J.
