making a drive on Congress in
an effort to repeal legislation au
thorizing the use of silver as
money. The Nevada, Idaho, Mon
tana, Arizona and representatives
from other silver producing states
are starting a fight for this move.
Metals are scarce. Silver may be
used for many other things than
money and jewelry.

Efforts to eliminate fuel oil ra
tioning in the middle-west have
failed. Joel Dean, director of the
Fuel Rationing Division of OPA,
notified this office that fuel oil
rationing must include the mid

Germany works 56 hours a day—

no strikes; England works 60
hours a day—no strikes; Russia
works 66 hours a day—no strikes;
Japan’s work week unlimited—no
strikes. War is based on a 24-hour
day. That is why bills have been
introduced to increase the work
week in the United States while
we are at war. Government de
partments are asking for 46 and
48-hour work weeks.
While many people in our dist
rict rejoice over the big corn crop,

that area. Some of it was insured.
Reports reach the Third Dist

which is composed of all repub

formed by delegations from other
states. The purpose is to get to
gether and work on legislation
which will be of most benefit to
the state represented.
Each state is allowed one mem

committees, and one member
from each state on the party na
tional congressional committee
These selections are made by a
vote of the state delegation. At
the present time Congressman
Curtis of Minden is the member
on the committee on committees.
The Third District member is on
the national congressional com

their own organization. House

Underwriters Sponsor War
Bond Program For December
The sale of bonds in northeast
Nebraska during the month of
December will be sponsored by
the Northeast Nebraska Life Un
derwriters' Association, it was an
nounced today by association
president, H. M. Rink. “Every
member of the association has
pledged himself to do everything
in his power to aid the cause of
the bond selling program during
the month of December,” said
Rink. Working in co-operation
with the underwriters are D. E.
Lockmon, county chairman, and
the Holt county war bond and
stamp committee.
One of the highlights of the
December campaign will be a
-
difference can be made up during
the December campaign,” said
Mr. Betzold.
County workers feel that De
cember is a most appropriate
month to buy war bonds; true it
will be a heavy month as far as
retail purchases are concerned,
but for every dollar spent for
merchandise by we at home, an
other dollar should be invested in
war bonds as a gift to our boys
in the service. It will be an ap
propriate gift, too, because every
dollar invested in war bonds goes
for providing food, clothing, guns,
ammunition, and supplies, which
now are so vitally necessary to
the continuance of the allied of
Northeast Nebraska Life Underwriters are sponsoring the sale of
war bonds and stamps during the month of December. Assisting
them with publicity and the preparation of the radio program for
Sunday, December 13, is Dwight Havens, manager of the Norfolk
Chamber of Commerce, shown dictating material to his secretary,
Mary Anderson.
three-hour radio broadcast on ra
dio station WJAG on the after
noon of Sunday, December 13. A
feature of the program, which be
gins at 3 o’clock p. m., will be
talent from over northeast Ne
braska; and those who have pur
chased bonds for this special day
will receive recognition on the
radio. Speakers from various
towns and members of the asso
ciation will also appear on the
program. The program will be
broadcast from the stage of the
municipal auditorium and is open
to the public.
According to figures compiled
by A. J. Betzold, Madison county
chairman, northeast Nebraska is
to be congratulated on the splen
did way in which they have made
their individual quotas from
month to month. “When all coun
ty totals of bonds sold are added
together and compared with the
total county quotas, the differ
ence is only very small. With a
little extra effort on the part of
northeast Nebraska citizens, that
fensive recently begun. There is
no finer way to celebrate the
Holiday Season than to invest in
the future by buying war bonds.
Every investment made in war
bonds further guarantees that
American ideals will ever stand:
it will give the holder of war
bonds an income which will be
so necessary in the reconstruction
period after the war is won.
It’s your America and it is
worth fighting for. Make your
real Christmas gift during the
month of December the purchase
of another United States Bond;
it’s a gift you will never regret
giving. We, at home, can fight in
the people’s Cause by buying war
bonds until the Cause is won.
For information and details on
the purchase of war bonds during
the month of December, see your
local life underwriters. Members
of the Northeast Nebraska Asso
ciation who live in Holt county
