There’s a long list of attractive reenlistment privileges in the new Armed Forces Voluntary Recruitment Act of 1945. The ability to keep your present grade is only one of them, but this privilege expires on January 31. There are plenty of other reasons why many thousands of men have enlisted, and more thousands are enlisting every day. You’ll certainly want to know all of the opportunities open to you. If you’ll read them carefully, you'll know why a job in the new peace time Regular Army is being regarded today as “The Best Jo'j in the World.” HIGHLIGHTS OF THE NEW ENLISTMENT PROGRAM 1.

COUNTY HAS HUGE JOB AHEAD ON HOME REPAIR More than $558,000 is expected to be spent during the next five years by Holt county home own ers on remodeling and repair work. The year 1946 promies to in augurate one of the greatest eras in American history for home re pairs and modernization, accord ing to estimates released by the Tile Council of America. “Few developments will contribute more to employment ind general prosperity in any community,” according to R. E. Jordan, chair man of the Council’s* Resdemtial Constructon Committee. Because of lack of materials and manpower during the war, majority of the county’s 4,428 dwelling units are in need of some kind of repair or remodel ing work. Kitchen improvements and modernization of bathrooms, installation of tiled showers and in some homes addition of a sec con bath top the nation’s list of most wanted major impdove ments. Home owners in Nebraska will spend an estimated $49,000,000 and those of the nation more thcan $5,500,000,000 for major re pairs in the next five years, ac cording to Jordan. Ample funds at low interest charges, are avail able for such work through commercial banks, saving and lorn associations, credit unions | and mutual Saving banks.

THE OLD JUDGE SAYS... r STEVE: “How was the hospital dinner, Judge? Sorry 1 couldn’t get there.” OLD JUDGE:" Very interesting, Steve. One of the doctors on the staff read a paper on the research wrork that is going on at one of the big universities where they are studying chronic alcoholism.” STEVE:" I’d like to have heard that, Judge.” OLD J UDGE:'‘ He pointed out that approx imately 95% of the people who drink do so sensibly. Only 5% abuse the privilege oc f * I' casionally and included in that 5% is the very small number known as alcoholics. Then he quoted a doctor from a famous university who said‘Alcoholics are sick per sons and, if treated as such, may be cured.’ Alcoholism, he said, is not caused by alcohol but by deep-rooted emotional derailments which can be prevented by education and often cured through modern psychology!” STE VE: “That’s the most sensible approach to the problem I’ve heard.” I This adrrrUsenunt sponsored by Conference of Alcoholic Bntraf Industries, Ins.
