Some young men know what they want and plan for it. Others are
■till looking for their niche. The new Regular Army can help both.
Perhaps you want to go to college but can’t afford it. If you
enlist in the Army, you’ll get your chance. Honorably discharged
after a three-year enlistment, you are eligible for 48 months of •du
ration at any college, trade, or business school for which you can
qualify. The Government will pay your tuition, laboratory fees,
etc., up.to $500 per ordinary school year, plus $65 a month JWing
allowance—$90 a month if you have dependents.
If you haven’t found your spot, an Army enlistment offers you
training in any of 200 trades and skills. You leave the service eligible
for further training at the best civilian schools.
You can assure yourself of the benefits of the Q1 Bill of
Rights if you enter the Army on or before October 5, 1946.
See your nearest Army Recruiting Station for details.

SMALL DOSES - Past & Present:
Add a Fifth Freedom
By ROMAINE SAUNDERS. Special Correspondent
Two proposed constitutional
amendments are receiving con
sideration for adoption or re
jection by the sovereign citizens
of Nebraska in November. I
find myself opposed to the $40
school amendment, not that I
am not a friend of true educa
tion. We are doing enough
for our schools at pitsent. The
adoption of this amendment
would mean a sales tax added
to the topheavy tax burden
and the large city schools
would be the chief benefici
aries of the funds raised, as I
view it.
The “right-to-work” amend
ment appears worthy of sup
port. Truculent unionists say
it is an effort to crush organ
ized labor, which it is not. The
amendment provides that no
citizen of this great prairie
state shall be denied a chance
to work because of being a
member or not a member of a
labor union. What’s wrong |
with that?
l am a craftsman. I go up
the steps of a publishing plant
I and inform the bald-headed ]
forman I want to hang up as a
sub. He tells me to peel my
! coat and go to work. I wade
I in. ,
Here comes a functionary
knowm as “chapel chairman’’ j
and demands to see my union
working card. If I do not have
this bit of evidence of union |
membership out I go.
Neither my qualifications !
nor need of a job are the de
termining factor. The owners,
the business manager, the
plant superintendent or the de
partment foreman have not the
say as to who is to do their
work. Here comes the “chapel
chairman.”
I am not opposed to unions.
But to the four freedoms I add
another—the freedom to hold
a job because you can do the
stuff.

The roadsides in prairieland
are ablaze with the goldenrod
yellow bloom of the late sum
mer days. The bright lights of
“the cities and the marts” lure
the multitudes—a shoddy sub
stitute for the transcending
charm of nature’s colorful
adornment.
‘“All the highways lead to
the cities,
To the traffic and the mart;
But the byways lead to nature
With her warmly beating
heart”

World war 11, as was World
1, is followed by scientific
horrors of what is going to
happen. The sun rises, it sets;
stars glow above nights
gloom, and out on prairieland
we pursue the enen U?nor of our
way.

NEW AUTOMOBILES are short and the conditions that bring about this
new car shortage are beyond the control of your dealer and the Chevrolet
factory. Present production rate is less than 30 percent of the 1941 ave
rage rate.
STRIKES IN PLANTS
LAST WEEK there were 57 strikes as yet in supplier plants, compared
with 59 strikes the week previous. Twenty-six of these strikes have been
in progress more than 60 days; 23 of these strikes have been in effect 16-to
60 days, and eight from one to 15 days. The UAW - CIO Union is involved
in 14 of these strikes; other CIO affiliated unions were involved in 34 stri
kes, and remainder involved AFL and the Independent unions.
ABSENTEEISM
PREVIOUS TO THE WAR, the the average rate of absence from work
without reason or notice was 2y2 percent of total employees on the payroll.
Last week this figure was 10 percent,
WORKER EFFICIENCY
IN 1940, worker efficiency was considered as being 100 per cent. At the
present time it is figured at 80 percent or it entails 20 percent more work
ers to obtain same production rate now as compared with 1940.
MATERIAL SHORTAGES
AS REPORTED last week shortages of materials are now retarding the
production of Chevrolet cars, trucks and pickups. The most serious short
ages at this time are lead and rolled sheet steel. This later shortage is
causing a cut back in the production of trucks and pickups for the month
of Septmber of approximately 50 percent, The lead shortage is so serious
that it could stop production altogther in another 30 days.
THESE FACTS . • .
— indicate the reasons why new Chevrolet cars, trucks and pickups are
short, and will remain short for some time to come. Contrary to opinion,
ofily five percent of total production is being exported, not enough to be a
factor in the present shortage. We are convinced that we are receiving
a rightful share of Chevrolet cars and trucks from the factory, accord
ing to the production rate.
WE URGE YOU to keep your present car in good operating condition.
Keep it well maintained and, lubricated; take care of small needed repairs
before they grow into large ones. WE WILL DO OUR part to the limit
of our facilities and personnel in keep-ing your automobile in good operating
condition.
