H. C. Wear Gives
NU $10,000 Gift
The University of Nebraska
Foundation announced receipt
Tuesday of a $10,000 gift from
H. C Wear of Brandon, Colo.
Mr. Wear, owner-operator of
extensive ranching and farming
interests in eastern Colorado and
western Kansas, wants the Uni
versity to use the money to pro
duce still pictures and motion pic
tures of farming and livestock
practices in New Zealand and
Australia.
He says the finished movies
and still pictures will be of great
value for 4-H club and other
farm meetings in showing Ne
braska people how farming and
ranching is carried on in other
lands which have about the same
climate as Nebraska.
The educational film will be
taken next fall under the direc
tion of a representative of the
College of Agriculture, The
cameraman is Rex G. Combs of
Worth, Missouri. Mr. Wear, who
travels extensively, will accom
pany the group.
Camera equipment purchased
to make the pictures, and the fin
ished pictures, become the pro
perty of the University.

John E. Davis of Aurora, started
out to get a law degree from the
University in 1938. That, of curse,
was before he was a lieutenant
colonel, retired, U. S. Army and
that was also before he lost both
of his legs in the Battle of the
Bulge, and before he won the Sil
ver Star,
But John Davis, now 30, got his
law degree Monday. He was one of
the 63 remaining from the 128
who entered the College of Law
three years ago.
From here on, John figures he's
pretty well set. He and his par
ents, Mr. and Mrs. D. M. Davis,
have bought a small telephone
company at Bridgehead, Mich., an
John will help manage that along
with being the sole lawyer in the
little resort town.
"That is," he says, TU be the
only lawyer there if I can pass
the Michigan bar examinations."
Basic Training
He will get a little basic train
ing for the Michigan bar, however,
this month when he takes the Ne
braska State Bar examinations.
"You can't tell," he explains,
"I may want to come back to Ne
braska some day. I surely hate to
leave here now, but Bridgeman
looks like a good deal."
John graduated from Aurora
high school in 1937. He came to
the University the following fall
and enrolled in the College of
Business Administration.
Just before he entered the ser
vice early in 1942, John received
his bachelor of science degree in
business administration, prepara
tory to entering the College of
Law.
He married before going over
seas the former Adell Wright of

Donna, now 6, was born before
John joined the 134th (Nebraska's
Own) Infantry as a first lieuten
ant at Nancy, France, in Septem
ber, 1944.
Veteran
John was first wounded Decem
ber 9 that same year, at Saaregue
mines, an ankle injury, but was
back with his outfit for the Battle
of the Bulge, In fact he was hit
twice, once, January 1, and then
again on January 2. He lay in
the snow for two days, and the
freezing cold necessitated the am
putation of both feet, part of the
little finger of his right hand, and
part of the middle finger of his
left. He still carries a bullet in
the head.
But despite that and the long
hospitalization that followed, John
found Monday, June 5, 1950, a
great day. His wife, his sister Mrs.
Margaret Siebler of Lincoln, and
his father-in-law, Harl W. Wright
of Lexington, were all there to see
him graduate,
"My folks would have been
there too," he explained, "but
they had to hold the bridge at
Bridgeman."
Reserved seats for this year's
500 mile race here were sold out
within three days after the
Speedway classic had been run
in 1948, to assure another crowd
of about 150,000.
