SHIELDS
k A surprise party was held at the
Bill Steskal home by his many
friends who came from near and
far to commemorate the annual
affair that occurs on April 24. The
residents of this locality were well
represented on this occasion. The
people like to meet their friends1
and neighbors in their own home,
but they are glad to greet their
[• friends from other parts outside of
the community who took gart in the
celebration.
The forepart of the evening was
confined to games, cards and round
table talk on various topics of in
terest. Pete Farewell acted as
toastmaster and just as I stepped
inside the door Mrs. Klingler oc
cupied the floor, trying to define
why this government Want so much
beer, whiskey and wine, especially
for the WPA. She said they ought
to have a placard on their backs
saying, “We drink instead of eat.”
Mr. and Mrs. Tom Serbert from
the Pleasantview section were pre
sent and«Tom expressed his pleas
ure at being among us and recalled
several incidents of delight and sur-_
prise at seeing this community so
well organized in spirit.
Then Ed Steskal, rising with a
smile, said the legislative body has
a tremenduous responsibility dele
gated to it by the people and for
which they are accountable to their
. constituents. They are the repre
' sentatives and not the dictators of
public policy. In other words, the
people have something to say about
their own welfare. To assume that
delegation imparts superior judg
ment or intellect is to overrate!
politics.
Next on the air was Clarence
Murphy, who cautioned us all to be
aware of Judge Ruthford’s agents
who are soliciting membership in
the ever growing menace of Com
munism, and urged us all to study
and know the doctrine of their
faith in order to defend it against
the ever rising tide of irreligious
teaching.
The dining room was occupied by
those who played cards. We un
edrstand that Mrs. Dobash copped
the prize. Refreshments were
served at midnight. After supper
the crowd settled down at the
card tables and managed to escape
before daylight, when the birthday
convention ceased. E. E.

Storz Leads In Sales
Nebraskans Prefering
State Made Beer
Nebraska people prefer Nebras
ka-made beer. This fact was plain
ly disclosed. by official gallonage
tax figures released through the
Nebraska Liquor Control Commis
sion in Lincoln recently.
Storz beer led all other beers in
state sales by a wide margin during
1936, the figures showed. Storz
Brewing Company, makers of
Storz Beer, has been continuously
operated in Nebraska by Gottlieb
Storz of Omaha since 1876.
Last year $282,955 were paid by
breweries to the state for beer
stamps. Officials say that beer
taxes add much to Nebraska’s rev
enue and thereby relieves the state
from collecting additional property
taxes, which might be necessary
otherwise to meet increasing bud
get needs. The Commission’s re
port, containing the only official
figures from which the sale of beer
in Nebraska by various breweries
can be taken, shows that Storz
Biewing Company paid more taxes
than, any Nebraska or outside brew
ery.
“I’m happy to know that Nebras
ka folks like Nebraska beer best,"
smiled Gottlieb Storz when told
about the tax figures. “We keep
the money in the state by paying
premium prices to Nebraska’s
farmers for the choice grain used
in making our beer. Then too, our
big weekly payroll means more
money for buying other products
made in the state,”
In addition, considerable money
is spent by the state’s breweries
through distributing organizations,
truckers and railroad men. Storz
leadership in the brewing industry
aptly reflects the attitude of Ne
braska’s people in supporting home
owned industries.

CHANCES TO
OIL-PLATING
In spite of everything, it paid him to take ads seriously, you
see, else he might never have tried Oil-Plating. First of all
he was impressed by the explanation of Oil-Plating.
I Simple enough, if you'll think what happens as
Johnny’s dirty little hands touch the wallpaper. Any
thing greasy or oily on his hands becomes quite a per
manent part of the paper. You'll say pcimancatl
In much the same way—forgetting technicalities—
Conoco Germ Processed oil forms a lasting attach
ment for every working part of your engine. A gen
uine, enduring Oil-Plating is brought about by the
Germ Process—patented.
Thus the Germ Process not only multiplies the
strength of the usual flowing type of oil-film, but
creates Oil-Plating besides. And once Oil-Plating
goes on, Conoco Germ Processed oil does not let it
come off in minutes, hours, days ... or miles.
Thus Oil-Plating kills the old fear of starting “dry.” Like
wise Oil-Plating refuses to let go in all the fury of 5,000
revolutions per minute. That’s why your “good old car” or
the latest model will stay more like new, with its engine Oil
Plated. And your whole Summer’s driving will take less

I). C. Government is Family Affair'
The operation of the district’s
government here in Washington is
really a family affair. The House
District Sub-Committee on Appro
priations made an investigation
and the report shows that out of a
total of 10,617 employees on the
regular payroll of the town govern
ment, which is partially supported
by all taxpayers’ money, about 30
per cent of these employees are]
related. The major portion, or about
65 per cent are in the school system.
Several cases showed where six
and seven members of one family
are working for the District. In
one case, four sisters were listed,
but the outstanding case involved
the superintendent of one depart
ment who was reported as having
fifteen relatives on the payroll,
eight nephews, a niece, two sisters
in-law, a brother-in-law, two neph
ews by marriage, and a sister.
Their combined salary was reported
to be $27,280 a year.

$300,000 Damage to Telephone
Property In Week End Storm
Latest Damage Brings Total for Northwestern Bell and
Subsidiary Companies to More Than $550,000
During Past Winter
BELL SYSTEM AGAIN GOES INTO ACTION!
More than 400 men today are busily at work restoring telephone
service in Eastern South Dakota, Northeastern Nebraska, North
western Iowa and Western Minnesota, swept by a disastrous storm
during the past week end. About 3,500 poles and thousands of
miles of wire went down, cutting off more than eighty towns in the
storm area from telephone communication with the outside world.
It is estimated that the damage to telephone property, will reach
nearly $300,000. The major part of it is in South Dakota where
2,500 poles were broken off or blown down.
The damage resulted when sleet and heavy wet snotfr, accom
panied by a high wind, stuck to the wires. In some places ice
formed on the wires to a thickness of two inches.
i - - -
The damage from this storm and that suffered by the North
western Bell Company and its subsidiary companies, The Tri-State
and Dakota Central Telephone companies, in other major ftorms
this past winter totals more than $550,000. On March 23 another
storm damaged telephone property in South Dakota to the extent
of about $250,000.
At the same time men were being mobilized, carload after carload
of poles, wire, crossarms and other materials and supplies required
to make repairs, were being rushed from Western Electric ware
houses in Minneapolis, Omaha and Chicago. In an effort to restore
telephone service at the earliest possible moment many of the re
pairs are being made on a temporary basis. Permanent replace
ments will be made later. Snow drifts and blocked highways are
hampering the men in their work and making it difficult to bring
in needed supplies.
The prompt and thorough manner in which we were able to at
tack the job of restoring the service in this latest emergency, as in
preceding ones, is the result of this company’s being a part of the
nationwide Bell System. The resources of the Bell System in men
and supplies were instantly available to us, as they always are in
such an emergency. Standardized methods and materials used by
all Bell System companies make it possible to restore service with
utmost speed.
The Bell System is organized not only to meet emergencies but
also to provide at all times the best service at the lowest charges.
The Bell Laboratories contribute research and development. The
Western Electric Company manufactures and stores equipment.
The American Telephone and Telegraph Company operates long
distance lines interconnecting the regional operating companies,
such as this company, and coordinates their operations for nation
wide service.
