"More persons than ever be fore should answer their Christ mas Seal letter this year to help in the big Job of eradicating tuberculosis and controlling oth er respiratory diseases." Mrs. Marion Wiles, County Christmas Seal Chairman, said today twice as much money can be spent for research and med ical education. 'More new drugs must be found to help those tuberculosis patients who have not responded to present treatment.'' "Millions of people suffer from other respiratory diseases, such as asthma, emphysema, pneu monia and chronic bronchitis. Medical research is needed to find the causes and cures of these diseases." Mrs. Wiles said, "millions of lives have been saved through the Christmas Seal Campaign. Many more can be saved now and in the future through your contribution to Christmas Seals. Answer your Christmas Seal letter today." 'Give Priority To Principles Of Safe Driving' Col. C. J. Sanders today ap pealed to citizens throughout the state to give priority consid. eration to the principals of safe driving during the holiday sea son as he referred to the mount ing traffic toll headed for a new all-time high in Nebraska for 1962. "As we all reflect on our bless ings this Thanksgiving season," Sanders said, "let us give par ticular attention to the value of family unity and family secur ity and how often these are threatened or lost because of traffic accidents. "And, recognizing the fact that most such accidents involve Illegal, thoughtless or discourt eous conduct by one or more drivers, may we also realize that only the strictest compliance with traffic regulations and the mast careful consideration for the welfare of others will . as sure a happy holiday season free from accident experience." Alvo Youth Has Compositions in Westmar Anthology Robert Neben, a student at Westmar College, Le Mars, Iowa, recently contributed an Improm. tu, "The World: My Responsi bility" and a Process, "How to Operate My VE," to the 1962 edition of Westmar(wnltes, Westmar's student-writing an thology. Published as a project of the English Department, the new anthology will contain approxi mately 50 pieces of expository and creative writing written by 28 students. The selections were made by a special evaluating committee of five students from among more than 100 compositions sub mitted for consideration.

Robert is the son of Mrs. Meta Neben of Alvo. A Good Reason ,, "Pilot to control tower! Pilot to control tower; I'm coming in, please give landing Instruc tions." ' "Control tower to pilot! Con trol tower to pilot! Why are you yelling so loud?" .riiot to control tower! I don't have a radio!" McReynolds Continued from Page One to the local mill In our case Fictoryviile." "Farmers butchered their hogs, salted some down and smoked the rest In smoke houses, after which the meat was hung and used as needed. Rab bits were abundant as well as squirrels and an occasional jack rabbit. "Deer were common, along the creeks beaver and prairie chick ens very abundant, occasionally wild turkey and bobcat. There were no foxes here in the 1890's." Mr. McReynolds attended the Nehawka school and then grad uated from Lincoln Business College in 1910. In 1916, he began his own share of pioneering, buying a rough farm near Nehawka of which only five acres were in cultivation. He built a 12 x 16 house on the land and began to clear timber, finding a mark et for it at Nehawka and Weep ing Water and sending several carloads to Omaha and Lincoln. The next step was to clear the stumps. This required 8,000 pounds of explosives. Then a tractor and two-horse walking plow broke up the brush. Mr. McReynolds still owns this land. In 1928 he bought one of the earliest combines In the county: "an inovatlon in the ways of har vesting in eastern Cass County a:id the first one east of the Murdock-Alvo area." In 1928 his brother Elmer moved out to Alliance and planted 500 acres of wheat. Alvin shipped his machine out to help harvest probably the only 1 1 ... , . propelled oy one tractor. Alvin McReynolds has been very active In the county for many years. He assisted in the organization of the Historical Society and is a former presi dent. He has served on the school board, been Justice of the Pe-ce, and Village Treasurer of Nehawka. He was World War II Chair man of the Cass County Selec. tive Board, a job which he held fcr 6- years with no compensa tion. For 12 years he has been a di rector of the Eastern Nebraska Public Power District and is sec retary of the Weeping Water Chamber of Commerce and president of the Mount Pleasant Cemetery Association. In the last 3 or years he and his-wife Nan (Olson) have trav eledmostly by air about 60, 000 miles. They have visited South America, Canada, Hawaii, and Mexico as well as Europe. Mr. McReynolds has long been lrterested in archeology and lists among some of the most interesting things he has seen the mummified body of Plzzaro, the conqueror of the great Inca empire and the palace of Cortez, the Mexican conqueror, at Cuer navca, Mexico. He also especially enjoyed the Palace of Versailles, the Roman Coliseum, and the 134-mile long catacombs. Mr. McReynolds has a brother at Alliance end a sister, Mrs. Gilbert Kime at Nehawka. The Klme land Includes part of the land of the old McReynolds place and land belonging to Gil bert's grandfather, 8. M. Kirk patrick, Nehawka'a first settler and an early legislator. Now before I close this his tory, I'd like to add an Interest ing story which comes down through the Hoback side for the family. The first John Hoback In the family was Alvin's great-grandfather's uncle, an adventurer trapper and explorer. He came up the Missouri River in 1807, trapping for the St. Louis Fur Company. He was one of the first to cross the rockies and discovered back River. Now there Is also a Hoback Peak and Hoback Canyon. 1810 or '11 and the three dauntless Kentucky hunters with whom be had gone out were coming back down the Missouri when they met the Astorian expedition. Ho- back's party had been robbed by the Indians and so the sight of another party was welcome in deed. As it turned out, the Astorian expedition needed a guide across the Rockies and Hoback and his friends agreed to go. The men had been following the trail of Lewis and Clarke but Hoback knew the Blackfoot In dians were on the warpath so they skirted the Black Hills and went on down Wind River Can yon, then down Hoback River, and finally Into the Snake River Country. Once they were across the Rockies the four trappers estab lished p. rendezvous and stayed behind to trap but the Indians found them there and massacred them. One of the men, named Dor Ian, had taken his wife and two children alonp and somehow this woman escaped the Indians and with her children made her way back across the Rockies to a white settlement, but they were the sole survivors of the party.
