May feds Britain he saw may never live again Visions of bombed cathedrals Dispatches from war-torn Eng land are followed with keen inter est by Merrill M. May, instructor in English. Visions of bombed ca thedrals and art galleries present a strong contrast to the EnglanJ May saw in July, 1938. May feels that the peace-time F.ngland he saw then may never live again. Even though peace is restored much of the country's antique beauty will be gone. May crossed the channel from Calais, France, to Dover, famous seaport which has figured largely in the current war. Dover castle, a Roman lighthouse, and a Roman fortress church were seen there. In Canterbury he visited Canter bury Cathedral where the stained glass windows arc of the richest colors and the crypts or chambers beneath contain several of the finest chapels in England. Here Thomas Beckct was murdered in 1170. Patterson goes to Minneapolis Small church town. Canterbury is a quiet church town of medium size. Low-hang ing houses look out over the Stour river where boatmen take tourists riding. Bridges on the river are so low the passengers have to lie flat when the boat passes under them. Chief method of transporta tion in Canterbury is bicycling. Except in Canterbury, there were definite signs of war activity in the summer of 1938, Mr. May declares. Trenches in Hyde Park. "In Hyde Park trenches were being dug. Throughout the coun tryside air warden signs were vis ible. The shop windows held dis plays of gas masks." All of the towns he visited are now within range of German bombs. But Mr. May feels that, in spite of the heavy damage being done daily, the will of the English people will see them through.

Tuberculosis Association ... r Christmas seal drive in full swing Ao raise state funds CHRISTMAS SEALS Nebraska's annual Christmas seal drive for funds to continue the year-round health program pf the Nebraska Tuberculosis association Is now in full swing and will con t i n u e through Christmas. The campaign has received national, state and local endorsement. The new 1940 seal depicts three children singing carols. The pic ture is especially a p p r o p riate, since tuberculosis is still the lead ing cause of death in this country between the ages of 15 and 45 yoarj. Every person in Ne braska should buy at least a few seals. Officials of the Nebraska Tuber culosis association point out that the purchase of Christmas seals is a form of self -protection for "your family, your friends and yourself." No home is safe from tuberculosis until all homes ore safe - every tuberculosis death in Nebraska leaves a trail of nine active cases. Officials estimate over two thousand active cases of tuberculosis in Nebraska right now.
