We thank thee, God— for the brightness of un-filied days that make us want to sing, and for grey skies and coldness that send us to sit in warmth besides friends; for the laughter of children and youth that gladdens our hearts, and for the tears that cleanse our souls and help us to share the grief of others; for the right to condemn what we dislike and to shoot to the skies the praise of that which we admire, and for the mature judgment of 1 others which helps us to moder- 1 ate our own and guides us to val- ; ues of worth and truth; ‘ for the praise and regard we receive when our task is well 1 done, and |1 for the punishment given us M when we fail to do our best; i for the church of our choice, where we can worship as best i suits our needs, and s for all the other churches which 1 cause us to realize our views are j not all that exists; for the beauty of a mountain meadow, so close to the skies that our spirits rise to meet them, and BRIGHAM’S ... for cleaning .. 2-3624 2246 O St for the stench of a city dump, which symbolizes the ugliness of ; some of our work; for the peace and contentmenl that comes after a table of good food and pleasant talk, and for the confusion and turmoil, always present in our lives, which force us to seek spiritual haven from material things; for travel and faraway lands, where we find excitement, and for the same surroundings, year upon year, which make us find ourselves. |Morris Brown Gets Business Manager ATLANTA—(ANP)—Two Mor ris Brown college alumni have been appointed as business man ager and assistant business man ager of the school.

OLSON, Superintends r STATB BIITOBICAI SOCI8TT The pioneer towns of territorial Nebraska created a heavy demand for building materials of all sorts. Prior to the coming of the rail ‘ road, all building material that could not be produced locally had to be brought up the Missouri river by steamboat. This was ex | pensive as well as slow, and very j early the Nebraska pioneers made strenuous efforts to supply their building material locally insofar as possible. The sawmills dis , cussed in an earlier column de veloped to meet this demand. Another type of building ma terial much in demand in Ne ll braska was brick, although local suppliers do not seem to have de veloped so rapidly in this field as they did in the lumber business. At least, in 1860 the territory had I only one brick-making estalish jment significant enough to bCj ilisted in the federal census of that, year. It was located in Cass l county. It had a capital invest ment of $250, employed six men, and produnced $600 worth of bricks per month. Though this establishment was small enough, I would hazard the ; guess that other Nebraska com munities also had brick makers 'during the fifties. Many of the ! early concerns were very small |and burned only enough for a few buildings. On occasion, a kiln would be improvised in order to burn brick for a single building. By 1870, the industry had picked j -I up considerably. The federal j census of that year shows a total | of 17 brick-making establishments in the new state of Nebraska. They employed 109 persons, to whom they paid a tota of $20, 874 in annual wages. Teh total j capital value of the industry in ,* the state was $22,900, and the annual value of the brick pro duced amounted to $61,865. There is some discrepancy in the j figures reported in the censis of 1870. The breakdown by counties accounts for only 10 of the 17 establishments listed in the gen eral statement covering the in dustry. Of these, three each were, in Dakota and Richardson coun-! ties, and two each in Dodge and ; Douglas counties. The county enumeration, for example, seems to have missed the, brick-making industry flourishing ( in Nebraska City. At least, in the: summer of 1865, more than 1,000 cords of wood wrere piled up there' ready for use in burning bricks,' and the Nebraska City News esti mated that several million bricks would be burned during the sea- I son. Building stone was available in certain sections of Nebraska, and some of the brick-making estab lishments also dealt in that com modity. - ~f Bring Your Prescriptions to HAL J.
