The company paid $34,000 for the ground on which they will erect their building, according to the Dakota County Star. The figure paid for the bare ground is considered enormous and was the motivating factor in making the sale despite objections from many of the townspepople who did not want to see a new competitive store come to town. • • • The Wahoo community hospital set some sort of a record last week, the Wahoo Newspaper revealed. Four sets of twins were born at the hospital within less than a week. Another unusual thing about the week was that all sets of twins were the same sex. The first set were girls, the next set.were boys, the third boys and the fourth girls. • • • Last week the editor of the Neligh Leader decided he would be absent for an issue and attend a wedding in Connecticut. It was the first issue he had missed for 30 years, he said. So the Leader staff prepared a “Hometown” issue of the paper which carried pictures and stories about Neligh, “A fine place to live and trade.” The Leader wrote stories about old residents, the fire department, some of the older businesses and gave resumes of the public buildings. Altogether it made a lot of interesting reading for the home folks and provided a way for a vacation for the editor. • • • The town of Crete always has something going on and its city politics have been the source of a lot of discussion in months past. La^t week five Crete oil dealers filed charges against the Mayor and some of the Councilmen charging them with illegally selling their products to the city. The state lawv forbids u city official to sell anything to the city as long as he holds office. The Crete News, taking the side of the Mayor and Councilmen I>oints out that the enforcement of such a law will automatically eliminate a number of good men from public office and may re sult in higher costs of purchases since sales would be non-com petitive. The suit involves over $6500. The Mayor and Council men have not yet answered the suit. • • • The Dawson County Herald, at Lexington revealed last week that 14 motorists were snagged in a two-hour period one day last week, for speeding on highway 30. A state Safety Tatrol plane, flying overhead, clocks the length of time it takes a car to travel between section lines, then radios officers on the ground. • • • Concordia College at Seward opened last week with the largest enrollment in history, according to the Seward Independent. Total enrollment is 565, but there are 140 of this number who are in the college’s high school. So crowded are conditions that 118 students are housed off the campus. • « • Scouts and their parents at Pawnee City are going to get a special treat this week, the Pawnee Republican has announced. On Saturday a special train will take them to Minden, Nebraska where they will visit the Pioneer Village. Next week, on Septem ber 22nd, the same group will go to Lincoln to see the Nebraska South Dakota football game. Both affairs are being arranged at bargain prices which all can afford. • • • Minden has OK’d a bid of $386,100.00 for a new high school building. A Hastings firm will construct the building. Minden expects to spend over a half-million dollars on the entire program, including new furnishings and specialized equipment. The con solidation of a number of rural districts with Minden has prompt ed the added investment in buildings. • • • Homeowners at Aurora spent a busy Labor-Day week-end pick ing up used brick from the school house which is being torn down. The Aurora High School was gutted by fire several months ago and wrecking crews are now tearing down the building prepara tory to erecting a new one. The hard, faced brick of the old school were offered to any who wanted them for the paving of patios, building fireplaces or any other use which they could con ceive. Needless to say, a lot of folks took advantage of the op portunity to get something without cost. • • * Oakland is making a valiant effort to secure new industry for the town. Last week the Industrial Committee of their Chamber of Commerce brought C. V. Price, Chief of the Nebraska Re sources Committee, to speak on possible new industries for Oak land. A banquet, open to the general public, marked the day. • * • A home adjacent to a highway in O’Neill was recently the target of a heavy truck wheel which came loose on a big truck and rolled into the side of the house. The wheel plowed through two hedges and slammed into the house. Knocking a mirror from the wall and shattering it and doing other minor damage. Just about anything can happen in this modern age. * • • Work of constructing a new Post office building at West Point is to begin soon, the West Point Republican announced last week. The building will be a one-story structure which will be owned privately and leased to the postal department.

On tne matter *>f preserv ing law and order he replied that this was primarily a local responsi bility and that thus far the local governments have moved prompt ly to stop the violence. Here is one of the encouraging aspects of the otherwise regret able outbreaks in Tennessee, Tex as, and 'Kentucky. It does not mean that local officials or local people necessarily are welcoming desegregated schools —witness the intemperate outburst credited to Texas Governor Shivers Yet the fact remains that responsible peo ple have taken measures to main tain conditions under which an ex ceedingly difficult problem can be tackled by methods of reason, not of violence. It might be said that this inter vention by arms of the law has aided one side or the other. If so, that is at the moment inciden tal. In Tennessee and Kentucky police and troops have enabled Ne groes to enter school and thus far remain. In Texas the order to the rangers to transfer to other schools any Negroes who might apply could be said to confirm the purposes of the mob—but only if this should prove a settled state policy and not merely an emerg ency precaution. Everywhere mob violence has been checkmated. And that is one of the utterly indispensable prerequisites to the functioning of democracy. Corinth Host To School Alliance Corinth Baptist Church was host to the Sunday School Alli ance Sunday, September 9, 1956 at 3 p.m There was a large rep resentation present. A very im pressive worship was conducted by the Sunday School of Corinth. Highlights of the Alliance were as follows: The Sunday School lesson preview by Mr. Wiley. He discussed the 7 churches a" represented in the New Testa ment and stated that only one, the Church at Philadelphia, the Church of Brotherly Love, filled God’s requirement. After the preview the classes assembled. The congregation assembled to hear a very inspiring message by the Rev. Thompson, pastor of Corinth. The Rev. Thompson spoke from the subject “The Pow er of the Church Through the Ages." He said that “the Church of God should never be mistaken for a beautiful edifice, that God's church is not made with hand. It is in the hearts of men. God’s church may be persecuted, but it Travel Shifts Into High Gear HERE COMES TOMORROW—Italian designer* have com* up with this sleek plastic bus creation which they claim will cruise over the roads at 125 mph.

Constitution Party Seeks Support to Organize A friend of mine who commutes from Connecticut to New York has always avoided the smoking car—can’t stand smoking him self, and doesn't like other peo ple to smoke. He found a seat in a non-smoking car one day, but to his dismay, a man came in, sat down facing him, and lighted up a cigar. Not wanting to make a scene, the other man waited till the con ductor came around to punch his ticket. As he handed it to the conductor, he nudged him and nodded at the brazen smoker. The conductor nodded back, punched the ticket again, and went on. Governor Bound By Office Oath Frankfort, Ky. — Gov. A. G. : Chandler issued the following j statement today after Kentucky 1 National Guardsmen escorted Negro children into the Sturgis, Ky., High School: “We regret it is necessary to use this means of guaranteeing equal rights to our citizens, but that we must do When the Governor takes of fice, he puts one hand on the Bible and takes an oath before God to protect the humblest citi zen. What we did today is in keeping with the oath I took. We must protect the lives of i our people and preserve law and [ order. We, in Kentucky, always have prided ourselves on our ability to keep law and order. When the time comes that Ken tucky can't do this, then it is time to turn in our charter None of our people really want to violate the constitution. They ; should think for a moment that the constitute guarantees life, liberty and the pursuit of happi ness to all people, and they ought not to interfere. If the people at Sturgis would go about their own business, they would find that the children wouldn’t mind. We intend to keep the troops at Sturgis as long as necessary.” ! can nevqr be conquered or de I stroyed. He urged the congre | gation not to become weak or faint-hearted during the time of crises, but to keep faith, and be of good courage for Christ has promised to be with His church always. Rev. Thompson stressed the importance of the church in the home. He stated that the power of the Church must first be exemplified in the home before it can be exemplified in the state and naion.” Mrs. J. V. Crawford is president ! of the Sunday School Alliance. Nebraska is to have a conser vative political Party. It will be named the Constitution Party of Nebraska.
