week end, being a guest at the home
of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. William
Zabel. Sr.
A. II. Ward was called to Louis
ville, and to be sure of a good road,
went by way of Manley. He took a
load of gas and oil over to his cus
tomers there.
W. O. Gillespie is suffering these
days with lumbago. He is able to get
about with a cane, but being at home
with the electric pad brings him
some relief.
The Engle lumber corrrany receiv
ed a car of briquets last week. The
continued sub-zero weather had so
completely diminished individual coal
piles lately that this car of coal was
most welcome.

unloading a car of Illinois coal and
the T. V,". Engles Lumber company a

get all the coal they need to carry
them through the extreme cold weath
er we are having.
Miss Opal Knaup visited at the
Murdock parsonage a few hours last
week during the prolonged snow
storm. She was on nurse's duty in
the Omaha Evangelical Covenant hos
pital when little Robert Veryl Schwab
VE3 born March 1, 1934.
In connection with the election in
Murdock last Tuesday, it is interest
ing to note that out of a possible 137
votes in the village, 125 voted on
the waterworks matter. That is as
high a percentage of the total vote
as we kjiow of being gotten out at
any election in a long time.
The countryside was so badly
drifted last Sunday that the town
pastor couldn't reach the Louisville
Evangelical church on Sunday morn
ing. The town meetings were dis
continued the last two Sunday even
ings on account of the badly drifted
roads and the intense cold weather.
The citizens of our village are In
deed grateful to Mr. Elseman, our
obliging street commissioner, for hav
ing tho sidewalk, crossings opened up
and made passable so quickly after
the recent snow storms. It helped
greatly in the pedestrian traffic. Mr.
Frank Dean, his assistant in this
work, got plenty cold, while he work
ed for the town in this way.
Opened Road to Outside
With an abundance of work for the
road patrolmen to do both night and
day, John Eppings has not been able
to get the roads in the shape he de
sired to have them, as the snow came
along with clocklike regularity. When
the snow was deepest and it was dif
ficult to.get about with a car on any
but the main thoroughfares, a group
. ,,
of men about town went out with
snow shovels and assisted with the
making of a good, broad road leading
into Murdock from the highway. As
a result, many who desired to come
to Murdock to do their trading have
been able to do so. Such loyalty to
tho interests' of one's town as was
displayed by the men with their snow
shovels is indeed admirable and de
serving of more than passing mention
in these columns.
Enjoyed Very Pleasant Evening
The bridge club, which has been in
the habit of gathering at the homes
of the different members from time to
time for an evening's session of this
popular pastime, followed by the
serving of refreshments, met on last
Wednesday evening at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. John W. Kruger, where
a most pleasant time was had. Those
present were Mr. and Mrs. Bryan Mc
Donald, Mr. and Mrs. Lacey McDon
ald, Chester Elseman and wife, and
the host and hostess, Mr. and Mrs
Kruger.
Grandfather Lawton Happy
Homer 11. Lawton is feeling pretty
well on account of a visit from the
stork at the heme of his daughter
and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Sim
mons Sinery, in Lincoln, bringing a
fine baby girl to this happy young
couple. The father was also greatly
pleased with the new arrival, but
nothing like the grandparents, Mr.
and Mrs. Lawton, and especially Ho
mer, who took cold in his throat be
cause he could not keep his mouth
shut and maintain the smile that
had spread itself across his face when
news wa3 received of the happy
event.
A Careful, Painstaking Driver.
On account of an accident in which
the Journal news man was a partici
pant, when a truck and our car but
ted against each other, putting our
Model A out of commission, we have
been having to find other ways of
getting about over our territory and
ar.:ong the different means of trans
portation, have rode numerous times
with Van Allen, of Murray. Incident
to the campaign for better and more
sane driving we nave observed that
r.Ir. Allen is a most careful driver
and one who exerts every care requi
site to safety, regardless of whether
the right-of-way might be his or the
ether fellow's. At no time has he
attempted to go around a car when
there was the slightest risk involved,
and always he has looked out for
pedestrians, especially children who
so often dart across the street.
We are much pleased with the way
Mr. Allen has handled the car at all
times while we were a passenger with
him and know that if everyone would
exercise the same care Van has. there
would be many fewer accidents on
the highways.
Ben Applernan Improving
Den L. Anpleman, who resides be
tween Murdock and Alvo and who
has been confined to his bed for sev
eral days, i3 now showing good im
provement and while so far -he is
only able to sit up a portion of the
time, he is encouraged at the pro
gress made and hopes soon to be able
to be up and about again.
Callahan Church Notes
F. C. Weber, Pastor
On account of the extreme cold and
snow drifts, we did not have any ser
vices on the 26th. We hope to be
able to have our regular services
again Sunday. We need to launch
out with Chri3t. Many Christians
fail because they do not go forward.
In Hebrews we are admonished to
"go on to perfection."
A little girl fell out of bed one
night. The next morning her mother
asked her how it happened that she
fell cut of bed. "I do not know,
Mamma," was the reply, "unle33 I
stayed too near the place where I
got in." How is it in your life, have
you made progress? If not, you, too,
may fall, because you "stayed too
near the place you got in."
Go to church somewhere!
Ask Extension of Road Patrol
John Eppings, who has had charge
of patroling that portion of highway
No. 1 from a point between Elmwcod
and south of Murdock to the eastern
terminus of that highway one mile
east of Murray, and who has kept
the road open and in excellent con
dition in spite of heavy snow is to
be congratulated upon his fine work.
Evidently tho traveling public feels
the same about it, for a petition has
been circulated signed by the people
along the road and those who travel
it a great deal, asking that the high
way department assign the entire
route to Mr. Eppings to patrol, from
its juncture with the O street road
south of Elmwood clear through to
the Murray corner, a distance of ap
proximately thirty miles. This would
add considerable to the work of Mr.
Eppings, but the people who travel
the route feel that it would insure a
much better road at all seasons of the
year, for Mr. Eppings is a worker and
could be depended upon to keep it up
in tip-top shape.
Improving from Injuries
O. II. Robson, son-in-law of Ed
Ganaway, who was so severely injur
ed in an accident when the sewer he
was assisting in digging caved in on
him, requiring his removal to the
hospital, is reported as getting along
very nicely at this time.
Underwent Operation
Mrs. Fred Tonack, Jr., formerly
Miss Alma Scheel, who with her hus
band are making their home in Om
aha, and who has been in poor health
for some time, went to the Nicholas-
Senn hospital in Omaha last Tuesday
evening, where she underwent an op
eration to correct her malady. She
is reported as getting along very nice
ly at this time. Mrs. Tonack is a
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John
Scheel.
Had an Excellent Sale
The sale of I. C. McCrory, which
was held last Wednesday, proved very
successful in spite of the extreme
cold weather and bad roads off the
main highways. The weather moder
ated somewhat during the day and a
good sized crowd was on hand to bid
for the live stock and farm equip
ment. Rex Young, of Plattsmouth,
was the auctioneer and Henry A.
Tool did the clerking.
Murdock Held an Election
The question of securing a water
works system for Murdock, which has
been agitated for some time, and was
revived a few weeks ago when the
government approved the contribution
of 4 5 per cent of the cost cutright,
was decided at the polls last Tuesday.
Those in favor of having the new sys
tem installed were anxious to take
advantage of the government's free
gift, which they felt might be with
drawn at any time, and so an elec
tion was called, with due and legal
notice thereof published in the col
umns of the Journal. However, not
everyone was in favor of the im
provement and especially those who
had private waterworks systems of
their own. Tho election was to vote
bonds for the balance of the cost and
a goodly number of the voters turn
ed out at the polls to express their
opinion on the matter in spite of the
severe snow storm that prevailed.
When the snow storm and the elec-
tion were over, it was found that SS
had voted for the proposition and 37
against it, providing more than the
required majority in favor and so the
required steps will be taken at once
to secure the remaining money by the
issuance cf bonds and a contract be
let for construction of the plant.
As is always the case, where any
fight is made against improvements,
the proponents of the proposition
were greatly elated at their victory.
while those who opposed it were not
so well pleased with the result. How
ever, the election is over and it will
be well to let the town go ahead, har
mony and peace prevailing among all
the inhabitants thereof. Everyone is
entitled to his opinion and to vote as
he deems best, and then when the
matter is decided, let's all be tho
same good friends and neighbors re
gardless of whether our side was the
winning or losing one. That is the
kind of spirit and co-operation that
builds up rather than tears down
towns.
No Bible School Lesson
There was no Bible school lesson
in last Thursday's semi-weekly Jour
nal due to the fact that copy there
for did not reach the office until
Friday, January 31, being postmark
ed out of Murdock the afternoon of
Thursday, January 30.
The lesson was published in the
daily issue of the Journal, Saturday
February 1st, as i3 the usual weekly
custom.

Whether the"Pain
Remedy You Use
is SAFE?
Ask Your Doctor
and Find Out
Don't Entrust Your
Own or Your Family's
Well - Being to Unknown
Preparations
THE person to ask whether the
preparation you or your family
are taking for the relief of headaches
is SAFE to use regularly is your
family doctor. Ask him particularly
about Genuine BAYER ASPIRIN.
lie will tell you that before the
discovery of Bayer Aspirin most
"pain" remedies were advised
against by physicians as bad for the
stomach and, often, for the heart.
Which is food for thought if you
seek quick, safe relief.
Scientists rate Bayer Aspirin
among the fastest methods yet dis
covered for the relief of headaches
and the pains of rheumatism, neu
ritis and neuralgia. And the experi
ence of millions of users has proved
it safe for the average person to use
regularly. In your own interest k
mcmber this.
You can get Genuine Bayer
Aspirin at any drug store simply
by asking for it bv its full name.
BAYER ASPIRIN. Make it a
point to do this and see that you
get what you want.
Bayer Aspirin
iel Ruge, enjoyed the session with
their fellow members.
Miss Marie Schweppe was elected
president of the organization; Orris
Richcrt wa3 chosen vice president,
Bernice Rikli, secretary, and Ezra
Luetchens, treasurer. Later on Miss
Violet Rosenow was appointed the
chairman on Worship, Miss Bernice
Oehlerking, chairman on Instruction;
Willard Rosenow, chairman on Ser
vice and Mrs. Ruth Luetchens chair

These officers were recently in
stalled into this' work by a beautiful
candle-light service prepared by the
pastor.
