With the coming of the storm last
Friday evening and until Tuesday cf
this week, Avoca was nearly taken
away from the other portion of the
community, for cn Friday was the
last mail which came to the city until
Tuesday of this week. During the
time there was no school, neither was
there any church services or Bible
school. The citizens although band
ed themselves together and worked
like trojans and finally were able to

Wayne Acklcy and son trucked a
lead cf stock to Omaha last Friday, i
the last trip they were able to i.iake J
until after the read was cleared on j
Sunday afternoon. !
Notwithstanding the severe weath-
or and the blocked roads, II. W. j
Griffin and wife were out last Sun-j
day evening after a trip over the!
highway by the state niaintainer, go- j
ing to Nebraska City, where they at- j
tended a show. j
Grandmother Crawford, who has
been ill for a leng time, being con
fined in an Omaha hospital and later
recuperating at the home of a daugh
ter residing in that city, suffered a
t
setback last week, but is again show

John Anderson, the popular driver
of the bus from Union to Lincoln
and return, whoso bus was in a col
lision with a CCC truck recently, has
been replaced by another driver who
seems to be a fine young man. Mr.
Anderson was a very popular and a
careful driver and his many friends
here are very sorry that he does not
come to Union any more.
Fred Baker, who lives southwest
c;f town, was not able to get the wag

Card of Thanks
We desire to express our sincere

death and burial of cur infant daugh

ing the illness of Mrs. Kcene both at
the time of the birth cf the daugh

Shipped Cream via Eailway
Earl Hathaway and P.. C. Mullis.
who collect and deliver cream and
milk from the vicinity of Union to
Omaha, were not able to make any
deliveries from Friday until Monday,
when the read was again opened up
into Omaha. By means of wagons and
sleds they were able to keep up with
most cf the collection work and ship
ped the same via rail to the metrop
olis. In times like this, the old steam
horse has proven most reliable, and
the railroads have been getting a
considerable amount of business that
ordinarily is handled by truck.
Storm Sets Eecord
A year ago last summer was the
dryest since the drouth of 1S9 4, thus
breaking one weather record of long
r.tandiug. And now comes the pres
ent winter to shatter about all the
records that have been established in
the last 4 0 years for length of time
a ccld wave has ever held out as well
as the amount of snow and blocked
highways. Last Sunday the town of
Union was completely isolated and
there was not a car in town with
j lhe cillgle exception of that of Wil-
provisions and those living back off
the highways are still snowbound.
The state patrol rame. through on
Sunday night, clearing the main
highway so that through traffic could
be resumed, and cars are now moving
again. Truly, this has been one of
tho eld fashioned winters.

Union schools was at Eagle last Fri
day night to attend the basketball

Team Played at Eagle
The basketball team cf the Union
hsh school went to Eagle last Friday
evening, where they played a game
v, ith the Eagle school team, that was
largely attended and proved a most
interesting contest. There were a
goodly number cf people from Eagle
over to witness the game and all of
them found it difficult getting home,
as Saturday's blizzard hs-l already be
gun and snow was falrr.g. However,
all arrived home safely before the
read became badly drifted.
Town Eeserted
Last Saturday and Sunday was va
cation time in Union with the pre
vailing storm blocking all roads and
being the chief matter of conversa
tion whenever two or more people
congregated.
Saturday, the situation was so bad
that the mail carrier was not able to
make any portion of his route. Mon
day he was able to make about forty
rniles, but could not service near all
cf his patrons, even though he resort
ed to walking at numerous places
where he could not procede further
in his car. And the result here was
much better than in many towns that
have routes extending over less trav
eled highways and are still held up
on account of unbroken snow drifts.
Conditions throughout the middle
west are conceded as being the worst
in many years.
Krs. D. Eay Frans Better
Mrs. D. Ray Frans, who has been
ill for the past ten days, is now much
improved. Her nurse, Miss Amelia
Frederick, of Plattsmouth, was able
to return home last Saturday.
Things Seemed Pretty Quiet
Paul Swan, who keeps pretty close
tab on the traffic passing along the
highway in front of his farm home,
has found that ordinarily during a
twenty-four hour period more than
two thousand cars and trucks go by.
Hut for the period beginning last Fri
day night and continuing for forty
hours (until the highway patrol had
cleared the road) there was not a
single car went by, and things really
seemed pretty quiet not only to Mr.
