The sale embraced more than 1700 acres of land and the final figure was $245,581. Most of the land went to farmers who already owned adjoining land indicating their faith in farming in the future. Highest price paid for any of the farms was $275 per acre, stated the Central City Republican-Non pareil. • • • Three bridges were ripped out across the Loup River near Burwell a week ago by ice jams which crowded down the river bed One of the bridges was washed downstream for a half mile, the Ord Quiz related. Work of restoring the bridges was planned immediately, • • • The Albion News, which was recently heavily damaged by fire, has announced the installation of a new newspaper press. The News is switching over to the 8-column size such as is used by The Enterprise and most of the other larger newspapers of the state. The seven column page, with its short columns is being rapidly discarded. The News announced to its readers that hence forth 10 pages of the new 8-column size would contain more space than 12 pages of its old-style 7-column size. This week’s issue of The Enterprise, which is 12 pages, contains more news and advertising space than 15 pages of the 7-column size. • • • A training course especially designed for those in the whole sale and retail business is to be sponsored soon by the Chamber of Commerce at Arapboe. The course will consist of five two-hour training sessions. Competent instructors would be obtained to direct and teach the work which would be highly beneficial to all who are in business and selling work, stated the Public Mirror. • • • The Meadow Grove News reported a plan which is being tried at that town to curb the activity of unauthorized sales people. The News revealed that the Community Club there is furnishing a card to all legitimate salesmen. The newspaper urged the people of the community to always ask to see the card when approached by a salesman. This, it was pointed out, would indicate whether or not the proposition would stand close inspection. • • • Petitions are out at Scribner to put the proposition of-Liquor by the Drink on the ballot in the April election, reported the Scribner Rustler last week. • • • The Nebraska Journal-Leader at Ponca issued a warning to all farmers who are holding farm sales, to be on the lookout for a “hog rustler.” The man, the paper stated, attends farm sales and while the crowd is bidding on machinery, the rustler backs up to the pen bolding the hogs and loads them into his truck. The idea has worked several times in the north part of the state. Since hogs and livestock always sell first at a sale, the fact that a man loads up some hogs while the crowd is buying machinery is not too unusual and has been getting by unnoticed. • • • A new city hall is being considered at Wahoo, the proposition to be put before the voters on the spring ballot A nine-man ad visory board, similar to Blair’s planning commission, has pointed out the need for the improvement. • • • The High School Science Class at Wahoo has built a mechanic al robot which is able to both move and talk. The six-foot machine required 3 weeks to build and is constructed out of tin cans, electric motors and a loud-speaker. • • • Papillion is laying plans for a Centennial celebration, the 100th anniversary of the establishment of Sarpy county to be reached this summer. Local organizations from all of the com munities of the county have been invited to take part, according to the Papillion Times. • • • The Bassett hospital, which was ordered closed a short time ago because of deficiencies in certain things, will remain open, the Rock County Leader announced last week. The privately own ed hospital will be remodeled to conform to regulations. Plans for a publicly owned hospital have been delayed. • • • An unusual bit of news happened at Oshkosh last week when a woman from Casper, Wyoming got out of her 1955 Dodge Sedan and quietly walked away. After several days authorities investi gated, learned the name and address of the owner and began a search. A call to Casper revealed that the lady had left her place of employment without explanation, much the same as she had left her car. A few days later it was learned the woman was in Princeton, New Jersey. The Garden County News, which told of the unusual actions, had no information as to why the woman acted so peculiarly. • • • Charles Marshall, President of the Nebraska Farm Bureau, is the speaker this evening at a rural-urban meeting of the Minden Rotary Club. The Minden Courier announced details of the . meeting last week. • • • Work will start on a new hospital at Cambridge, Nebraska a bout March 19th, the Curtis Enterprise reported. The 22-bed structure will cost $274,000. • • • Seward dedicated its new armory last Saturday afternoon. A fitting program was held and a dedication dance ended the day's festivities. Part of the electric energy being used at West Point is com ing from the power dams on the Missouri, the West Point Re publican revealed last week. Current was turned Into the West Point system March 1st and will be used to supplement the cur rent generated in the West Point plant much the same as Blair uses the current generated In the Omaha Public Power plants. An ordinance which would require all grocery stores to close one day a week is under fire at Chadron, the Record re ported last week. The ordinance, designed to cope with the stores which stay open seven days a week, may be repealed. While the ordinance regulated the hours of the groceries within the city, it resulted in the building of other groceries outside the city limits and these have been operating on a seven-day basis. Stores within the city limits are asking a repeal of the ordinance so that they can meet this new competition. Chadron has also had an ordinance which would require beer and liquor stores to close at 11 P.M. An effort is now made to have them stay open until midnight and to permit them to run until 1:00 A.M. Sunday morning. • • • • Cedar County (Hartington) is going after the school redis tricting proposition in a big way. That county now has 93 school districts but a new school map has been prepared which will reduce this number to seven districts. The new map is about ready to be submitted to the state redistricting committee after which the individual districts will vote on the proposed changes. • • • • Officers of the Valley County Fair (Ord) recently announc ed plans for a week-end county fair which would run through Sunday. Churches of the county have now joined in protest against the idea. The fair board has come back with the sug gestion that some sort of religious pageant be presented Sunday evening to meet the approval of the church folks. The Ord Quiz did not reveal the final decision regarding the matter. • • • • Prospects of a big radar installation to be built in the Sar gent-Taylor Burwell area are dangling in mid-air this week as ef forts are being made to pin the thing solidly to the earth. It is believed the whole affair is another confidence scheme. Several farmers in the area have been approached by a stranger with regards to leasing ground for the proposed station. He has also made arrangements for trailer parking lots and the building of a mess hall for 200 people. The stranger also made arrangements to buy groceries, trucks and other things which would be needed. But, once the arrangements were made, the man never came back. Folks in that area are wondering what it’s all about and what reason a man could have for doing such things. The theatre at Aurora has announced that it will close un less it gets more patronage. It has been operating there for 43 years but has run at a loss for several years and may close. The Aurora News-Register urged folks of that community to patron ize the theatre if they wished to keep it. • • • • Two brothers, driving cars in opposite directions on a coun try road, met at the crest of a hill last week near Ogallala, wrecking both cars completely and sending both of the men to the hospital. They each suffered injuries which were almost identical. The cars were identical in make, year and model. The Keith County News termed the accident an unusual coin cidence. • • • • Eighty-seven Cub Scouts from Missouri Valley visited Lin coln last Saturday, stated the Missouri Valley Times. The boys and their mothers made the trip by train, visiting Morrill Hall, the capitol building and other places of special interest. • • • • Continued donations for the creation of the Burchard Lake have sent the fund to $6,201 the Pawnee Republican has report ed. No plans to start work on the man-made lake have been an nounced at this time. • • • • Neligh is another of the Nebraska towns which is finding the need for more water. The Neligh Leader last week told its readers that voters would be asked to record their wishes in re gard to a new well to supplement those already in use. Neligh uses 264,000 gallons per day, on the year long average, the news paper stated. • • • • Papillion voters will ballot on bonds for a new swimns&ig pool, the Papillion Times noted last week. The proposed bond issue will be for $26,000. • • • • At Crete, voters will be asked to pass judgment on a liquor by-drink issue. • • • • "V. The Crete schools have a new cafeteria where students may procure their noon meals at a nominal cost. On the opening day 15 tried the new facility, helping themselves to barbecued ham burgers, scalloped potatoes, cole slaw, jello, milk, etc. The children may eat at the cafeteria or they may bring their own lunch and use the cafeteria tables and other facilities, stated the Crete News.. • • • • The Schuyler Sun is quite concerned about the Platte River bridge on highway 15 south of town. Heavy trucks which use the route to by-pass a state weighing scale, are overloading the bridge and an inspection last week revealed that a number of supports and sway bars had been broken by the rumbling trucks. The Sun showed pictures of the broken span in an ef fort to arouse interest in getting a new, stronger bridge built • • • • Firemen at South Sioux City got a pay raise last week, the Dakota County Star revealed. The men had been receiving a minimum of $1 for answering a fire call plus $1 per hour for fire fighting work. This figure was doubled and henceforth fire fighters will get $2 each for answering a call plus $2 per hour. The cost of clothing, loss of wages and higher cost of gasoline going to and from the fires attributed to the increase. • • • • The Central City Republican-Nonpareil revealed last week that 113 new irrigation wells have been drilled in Merrick county this winter.
