THE NEBRASKA
SCENE
by James R. Lowell
In his call for a special session
early this week, Governor Cochran
made it clear that he is concerned
entirely with relief and not much
is to be expected from the legisla
tors who convene next week aside
from laws intended to make old
age pensions available as quickly
as possible and assist otherwise the
application of the federal security
act and the WPA in the state.
The new legislation will provide
for raising virtually all relief as
sistance funds from gasoline tax,
if the governor has his way. It is
beginning to appear, however, that
something more than an additional
one cent gas tax will be required
to solve just the old-age pension
problem alone.
The number of aged Nebraskans
that has already qaulified for pen
sions is in excess of 15,000. That
is about the total anticipated by
the law-makers last spring.
A number of counties have not
turned in complete lists, and six
have sent in no names at all to the
old-age pension commissioner.
These latter include Douglas, which
normally has around a third of the
state’s relief load and a sixth of
the state’s population.
So, apparently, there will be
close to 30,000 Nebraskans eligible
for the pension. If the state pays
half of the pension bill, or $15 a
month to eligibles, it will require
in the neighborhood of five and a
half million dollars per year.
If the one-cent additional gas
tax is put to work in a constitu
tional manner, it will provide
around two millions annually.
The $2 per year head levy, ap
plying to all sane persons between
the ages of 21 and 50 who are not
indigent, will bring in only $900,

Award Grants For
Street Improvements
According to word from Lincoln,
the application of this city for $344
for service water pipes to be laid
on the two blocks to be paved north
from Douglas street on Fourth
street, has been approved by the
federal government. It is estim
ated that the work will give em
ployment to ten men for a period
of one month. The application of
the citizens of Stuart for a combin
ation curb and gutter on main
street, for which they asked an ap
propriation of $1,114.00 has also
been approved. They estimate that
this work will give employment to
eight men for a period of six weeks.
Sullivans Death Leaves
Postmaster Vacancy
Now that there is a vacancy in
the office of postmaster of this city
there will be quite a scramble
among local democrats for the
place, which is very desirable. We
have heard of a couple of candi
dates already in the field and more
will probably enter. It would be
a very fitting if the powers that be
would select Mrs. M. R. Sullivan,
widow of the deceased postmaster,
for the position. She could take
care of the duties very acceptably
and the salary would probably
come in very handy.

Breaks Leg In Runaway
Homer Ernst, living northwest
of town, was around on crutches
Wedfiesday, as the result of a brok
en leg. Last Saturday afternoon
he had his team hitched to a hay
rack and the reach broke, scaring
the horses who ran away. He man
aged to stay on the wagon and the
horses ran to the barn. He does
not know just how he suffered the
broken leg, but is of the opinion
that part of the rack hit him on
the leg, breaking the hone. He did
not know that he had broken a leg
until he started to get out of the
wagon. This is a bad time of the
year for a farmer to be laid up, but
Homer takes the matter philosoph
ically.
Count Shows 431 Cars
Parked On City’s Streets
In order to satisfy his curiosity
last Saturday, Mayor Kersenbrock
had a man count the cars on the

in the afternoon and he found that
there were 431 parked on the
streets at that hour. There was
nothing extra going on in town
that day either, it being just an
ordinary Saturday shopping crowd.

NEW FORD V-8 FOR 1936
no amt" > V ' ■
Why do we scry The New Ford V-8
for 1936?
What is new about it?
Of course, the newest engine in the
low-price car field is still the V-8 engine.
Since Ford made it available to all car
users (keeping it as economical as cars
with fewer cylinders) the Ford V-8 has
been the newest engine on the market
and remains the newest for 1936.
You may buy a car on minor "talking
points"—some specially advertised fea
ture "with the car thrown in"—but after
all. it is the engine you buy when you
buy a car. Hence we put the engine first
Other new points about the car
make a long list.
Its lines are much more beautiful. The
hood is longer and sweeps forward over
the distinctive new radiator grille, giving
the car a length and grace that are
instantly impressive. The fenders are
larger, with a wide flare. Horns are con
cealed behind circular grilles beneath
the headlamps. New steel wheels.
Ford upholstery — always of sterling
quality and excellent taste—is rich and
enduring. The appointments of the car
have a new touch of refinement There
is no question about the increased
beauty of the Ford V-8 for 1936.
In more practical matters, many
improvements have been made —
Steering is made easier by a new steer
ing gear ratio. The cooling system cir
culates 51/2 gallons of water through a
new. larger radiator. Natural thermo
syphon action is assisted by two cen
trifugal water pumps. New style hood
louvres permit a rapid air-flow around
the engine.
Easier, quieter shifting of Ford gears
—The gear shift lever now travels a
shorter distance.
The two qualities you want in
brakes — Brakes that stop the car with
ease and certainty. Ford Super-Safety
Brakes of the long-tested, fool-proof,
mechanical design.
Safety — as always — in the electri
cally welded genuine steel body. Safety
Glass all around at no extra cost. Hun
dreds have written grateful letters be
cause this glass hoc protected the safety
of their families.
A car you can drive without strain
all day, if you like, in city or country.
Steady, holds the road, responds to the
driver's touch like a well-trained horse.
You don't have to "push" or "fight" the
Ford V-8 —driver and car easily get
on terms of good understanding with
each other.
An engine has much to do with the
roominess of a car. Very much indeed.
A long engine uses up car space. The
compact V-8 engine permits much of the
ordinary engine space to be used by
passengers.
It really is a great car in every way,
this 1936 Ford V-8 —the finest, safest,
most dependable Ford car ever built
Now on display by Ford dealers.
