TEUBSDAY. FEBRUARY 13. 193C.
Neh
awka
Mrs. George Bucholtz "who has not
been in the best of health, is report
ed as considerably improved this
week.
Gilbert Edmunds, mechanic at the
Hansen garage, has been just about
out ct the running with a severe cold
and sore throat which he is bravely
tattling and so far has succeeded in
preventing it from getting him down.
Mrs. B. E. Summers, who has been
in poor health for a number of weeks
past and has been confined to her
home, was able to be out and down
town on Tuesday of this week, which
is very pleasant news for her many !
friends.
The Nthawka basketball team was
scheduled to play at Greenwood last
Friday evening, and went as far as
Eagle, but found the roads so bad
and the storm so severe that they
turned around and started back home
none too soon, either, for they had
difficulty in making it.
As soon as the roads on the main
highways were opened so people could
get through, Mr. and Mrs. William
Kruger went to Plattsmouth by way
ot Union and visited there for a time
at the home of Harry L. Kruger and
family, &s well as transacted some
business matters.
Meeting Postponed for Week
The Men's Brotherhood of the
Methodist church, which was to have
tn joyed a gathering at the church on
"Wednesday, February 12th, the anni
versary of the birthday of the great
emancipator, Abraham Lincoln, was
compelled to postpone the meeting on
account of the severe weather and
badly blocked roads. As now planned,
this meeting will be held on Wednes
day, February 19, by which time it
is hoped the weather will be moder
ated and the roads cleared. All mem
bers are urged to take note of the
postponed date and be there for this
important gathering.
Found No Game Monday
The basketball team of the Ne
hawka high school which had a date
for a game with the team at Avoca
for Monday evening, not hearing any
thing to the contrary and not desir
ing to disappoint their opponents,
made the trip to the neighboring
town, where taey found there had
been no school and the team was un
prepared to Flay, so the disappoint
ed Nehawka lads returned home.

Heebner is content to go on just sell

c-"nce the season is so much longer
and more promising than that for
snow plows.

C. A. McReynolds, wlio makes his
home near Murray, but has been a
patient at the Clarkson hospital in
Omaha for a number of weeks, was
visited a few days ago by Mr. and
ZItu. A. A. McReynolds, Mrs. Thomas

Ncha-wka Hit by Stom
Like all other towns in the middle
west, Nehawka had a severe experi
ence with the storm which came on
last Friday night and continued the
following day, leaving its effects be
hind to plague the community for an
additional several days. Sunday, the
severe cold and impassable streets
and roads caused the cancellation of
all church services. Trains were un
able to operate or hopelessly behind
schedule. There was no service into
Nehawka Sunday and very little on
Monday. The bread which people of
this community as well as elsewhere,
have learned to buy at the corner
grocery store, rapidly became a scarce
article as marooned bread trucks were
unable to cover their routes. As a
result, there wa3 many a biscuit
eaten and not all oC them were of the
kind mother used to make either. The
first bread truck was able to reach
town Monday afternoon and by the
following day things were beginning
to assume their normal condition, al
though country roads were and many
still are blocked high, causing farm
ers who live back off the main high
ways to walk to town or part of the
way at least, to get their provisions.
Tommy Mason was able to go out
on his rural route Tuesday, covering
about half of the territory that day,
and gradually increasing the amount
since then. Robert H. Chapman, the
other carrier, whose territory ext&nds
north and west of town, could not
get out on his route to any great ex
tent and even went around by Union
and Murray, hoping to double in
from the north, but found that also
impossible. The whole territory was
heavily drifted in and it will be some
time before the packed snow is re
moved from the roads or melts. A lot
of shoveling has been done, but of
course that is largely confined to the
main arteries of traffic that must be
held open at any cost.
To make the situatin worBe and
add to the discomfort of human be
ings and live stock, the temperature
has ranged below zero every day for
twenty-two straight days, making
this truly one of the "good" old fash
ioncd winters our elders have been
wont to tell about, and from now on
winters may be expected to date back
to 1936, rather than 188S.
Need of Clothing
by Children of
the Community
School Officials Ask Those Who Can
Donate Clothing, Especially
Overshoes and Mittens.
There is a great need in this ex
tremely cold weather for additional
clothing for children in the com
munity, not adequately clothed to
ace the rigors of the past three weeks
and the apparent prospect that the
winter will be continued over many
weeks yet.
The lack of suitable clothing has
made necessary many of the children
remaining at home and not being
able to carry on their school work,
due to the danger from exposure.
Superintendent Devoe and other
school workers are asking the co
operation of the community in pro
viding clothing that even though
used can be servicable, particularly
overshoes and mittens that can pro
tect the little folks from the cold.
Those who can spare the clothing
are asked to bring it to the office
of Superintendent Devoe or notify
his office and they will be called for.
F7NEBAX OF JANET MEISINGEE
Designed Snow Plow.
Granville Heebner, the implement
man, who is always looking for the
betterment of his customers, has de
signed a snow plow which he is con
sidering manufacturing, but on ma
ture reilectjon concluded a warm
spell might come and melt the snow.

The proposed snow plow would be

NEBBASKA WPA PAYS

From Wednesday's Dally
The funeral services for Janet Mei
singer were held this morning at 10
o'clock at the St. John's Catholic
church, where a large number of the
friends and neighbors of the family
gathered to pay their last tributes to
her, whose life had been called so
early from the scenes of life.
The requiem mass of the church
was celebrated by the Rev. Father
George Agius, bringing the last con
solations of the church to the mem
bers of the bereaved family circle.
The mass was sung by the sisters and
the members of the St. John's par
ochial school choir, while John J.
Cloidt gave three vocal solos, "Softly
and Tenderly Jesus is Calling," "Thy
Will Be Done" and "There Is No
Heart Like Thine." The Interment
was at the Catholic cemetery west
of the city.
Died to Live Forever
(Dedicated to the memory of Janet
Ann Meisinger, by L. W. Lorenz,
Feb. 7th, 1936).
Her life was short, her life
was sweet.
But now she rests in her sound
deep sleep;
God has called her to the dis
tant other shore.
To live with Him and be happy
for evermore.
He has done so on His own free
accord.
That she might reap her ever
lasting reward:
To be with all the heavenly
angels above,
Where Bhe will be praising God
with her love.
God in His own wisdom and
with His love,
Will call us all to His heavenly
home above;
Though we know not when,
where or why,
But when our time is up, wt
all must die.
Whether our life will be long,
or it be short,
We will be called to make our
last true report;
For the good and the bad deeds
we have had done.
Then God will judge us from
His heavenly throne.
USES OF WATERWAY
(From The State Journal)
PLATTSMOUTH. In a news item
of the 28th Inst, it Is stated that the
directors of the Omaha chamber of
commerce have adopted a stand for
the lowest possible joint water-rail
freight rates. Now we are a little
unsophisticated, and would like to
inquire just what all this means? We
understand that we are spending mil
lions of dollars to make the Missouri
river a cheaper highway to market
for our farmers surplus products, but
now it seems this is going to inter
fere with some other interests, the
railroads. Now we have the problem
on our hands: Can we help the farm
er without hurting the railroads, and
if we do will we again hear about
the widows and orphans being penal
ized, etc?
When the railroads came they sup
planted the stage coach and over
land freighters, but no one tried to
keep both and the one had to go.
Railroad management has been woe
fully deficient In this generation. It
does not have the business acumen
and foresight it had 40 or 50 years
ago, or it would have forestalled the
truck and bus traffic on our high- j of territory
ways by the reduction of freight an liougbt to have F.or.iethi

COMPLETE GOOD WORK
The force of WPA workers battled
the greater part of the day Tuesday
against the snow that had banked
along Oak street west of the ceme
tery and covered the roadway so that
traffic was impossible.
The men responded with good will
to the task and with shovels, as
sisted by the road maintainer, were
able to open up the road so that it
is now possible to reach the cemetery
with the funeral parties that have
been pending the opening of the
road.
