The visit I enjoyed in my dis trict during the week of the Eas ter recess was most refreshing. Getting back to western Nebras ka was like walking out of a smake-filled stuffy room to the outside fresh air. t was unable to get over the whole district in the short time I had, but I spent a day each in Grand Island. Kear ney, Kimball, Scottsbluff Alliance and North Platte, catching a plane out of the latter city Sunday morning and arriving in Wash ington that evening. It is a great help to me to get away from the turmoil and confusion of Wash ington and to have face to face visits with the folks at home. It Quarter Million In Loans To HOLT COUNTY The Kloke Investment Com pany of Omaha announces it has in excess of $250,000 to loan on farms in the Holt county area.

KLOKE INVESTMENT COMPANY OMAHA _ in England it isn't the person of the Ring that commands the allegiance of his people, but father the things that the King represents. To British subjects the crown is not the halo of a man but the emblem of an empire. .. In America we have no King but see do have a Queen equally revered and equally rich in sym bolism. . .. Her throne is a huge pedestal in New York harbor but her influence is a vital force in the lives and fortunes of every man. woman and child in America. Like the King, she is sacred because of the things Ac represents—a form of Government and a way of life which have made us not only the wealthiest but, far more important, the happiest of nations. ... It is to this Queen that oil men have pledged their getuus and their resources A* part of the industry, we consider it a privilege to join in her defense—for from the produc tion department of the petroleum industry comes the vast resources of high quality crude caL ... From this high quality crude oil comes the high-octane gasoline needed to keep our fighting planes in the air.... All American fighting planes have one important feature in common: their engines are designed for high-octane gasoline. That's the basic reason why they have more power—they will—plane for plane—outfly and out fight our enemies. NEEDED . . . MORE AND MORE OIL . . . THE VITAL AMMUNITION Never in the history of oil has this product been more vital than now. for oil today is truly ammunition.... Likewise, the assurance of ample reserves is of equal importance. . . . The national emergency is making unprecedented demands upon our Petroleum Industry. Our first task, our chief responsibility, as individu als and as a nation, is to win this sear. ... The Loup Valley Syndicate is co-operating wholeheartedly in the anarch for new otl reserve*. Those Owning and Operating the Loup Valley Syndicate Are: A progressive group of business and professional men, ranchers and farmers have placed their money and leases into a pool known as the Loup Valley Syndi cate, for the purpose of engaging in the search for and discovery of previously unknown petroleum pools, in Central Nebraska and elsewhere—by means of drilling and completion of exploratory wells. Heading the Syndicate are such men as: Mr. A. W. Pierce, coun-: cil member and assistant man ager, is one of the leading real estate and insurance men in this area — owns several farms and i other property—also a member of' ■ ■■ - the Ord City Council. Mr. Dewey C. Schaffer, council member, is one of the leading producers who produces many of those good sandhills cattle each year on his own ranches—is a director in the Sandhills Feeder Cattle Producers organizations— also president and director in the O’Neill Production Credit Asso ciation. Mr V. N. Short, council member, who has had many years exper ience in the survey, geophysical and drilling departments in the petroleum business. Mr. M. B. (Mike) Higgins coun cil member, is one of the leading producers who produces many of those good Sandhills cattle each year on his own ranches—is a director in the Sandhills Feeder Cattle Producers organization al so an inspector in the O’Neill Production Credit Association. Mr. E. L. Dodge, council mem ber and syndicate manager, who has had many years experience in the survey, leasing, geophys ical, drilling and other depart ments in the petroleum business. The Loup Valley Syndicate is now receiving bids for the con crete derrick foundation footings on its Howard county and Holt county locations. clears the cobwebs from my brain and enables me to do some clear thinking. I found a wonderful spirit among the folks at home. In spite of the great difficulties occasioned by the disruption the was has brought to all, the people are tak ing hold with patriotic ferver and are performing miracles in doing the things they must do to help win this war. In addition, they are buying bonds. Nebraska has exceeded its quota. Farmers are busy in the field. Those with whom I talked asked for sufficient farm machinery and labor, and the guarantee of a fair profit. From the government they want only fair prices for their crops, in flation kept down and a fair loan value on certain crops which will act as a floor under prices. Feed ers of livestock are concerned about the pricing policy on feeds, and the regulations coming out of Washington. The uncertainties of getting corn and other grains re sulting from these regulations causes them to feel that they can not take a chance on feeding out their stock and they may have to! sell it half-fat. They would like! to have definite assurance from fewer regulations and less med dling in the food production pro gram. I visited airplane bases in Kear ney, Grand Island, Alliance and Scottsbluff. Tremendous develop ments are taking place. Thous ands of men are being trained for the air forces. At the Alliance base, the largest one, they are training bomber and glider crews and are working out a coordin ated program between air and land-based forces. It is to be hop ed that these bases will continue to be used for commercial avi ation bases after the war. Cer tainly there will be a tremendous upswing in all types of aviation. It is being freely predicted that Italy will be out of the war in six months and that Germany will be through by June, 1944. Most people feel, that the wai* with Ja pan will be long and costly and of a gorilla type. Having visited in Japan and seeing that their houses are made of tissue paper and spit, I know that a few fire bombs dropped on their principal cities would cause drastic destruc tion. We must carry this war to Japan itself if we are to overcome Washington that there will be the philosophy that binds them to their warlike leaders. The people of Nebraska are generally up in arms about the attitude of John L. Lewis and other labor racketeers who are encouraging their unions to strike in order to gain selfish advant ages when we are at war. The calling of a coal strike is an act of sabotage. By the time you read this I predict the House will have passed the Conally bill. Congress is sure to pass other anti-strike legislation and place further curbs on labor union racketeers. The great majority of laboring people are patriotic, union and non-un ion. They have sons and daugh ters in the war. Most union men want to work regardless of the hardships they are encountering, but they are slaves to the officials of their unons who in many cases are racketeers feathering their own nests at the expense of their members and the country. Loyal, patriotic union men should have {>rotection from Congress with aws that will bring union affairs out into the open. Released by U. 8.
