LINCOLN—A steady stream
of men and women alt ng the
streets—youth, maturity, age,
the well-groomed and the in
differently clad, bald head)
shining like polished boulders
in the sunlight, gray hair and
lovely tresses fluttering in the
wind — all hastening on wit:*
anxious faces reflecting an in
ward urge, brows knit with
unraveled care.
What weighs heavy on hu
man hearts and minds? A pres
ent dread or forebodings for
the future?
Moving on with hurrying
feet each "bearing his bur
den of sorrow" or imaginary
worries reflected cn trouolea
faces.
And here comes a gent saun
tering leisurely across the in
tersection with the green light
in his favor, hands thrust into
pockets of worn work pants,
unshaven face registering con
tentment. And as he stopped
to spit and shift the chew ot
tobacco to the other cheek ill
registered utter Indifference to
the maelstrom of high tension
humanity rushing by him.

One of the most p pular
spots in Lincoln is the State
Historical society museum in
the capitol. It would be in
teresting to know what brings
many from far away states
here to look us over and leavu
their name and address on thu
society’s register. A notable
feature of the exhibits that
have come down from other
generations is the sizable col
lection of war clubs ranging
from arrows and bullets.
Scrapping has been the occu
pation and delight and often
the necessity of all generations.
The gatherings of instrument:!
of warfare at the society’s ex
hibit is about equal to that
employed in the pursuits of
peace.

According to good word
from official Washington
sources, there is now under
construction in Nebraska
more than 9 million dollars
federal road work, with
something like 6 million dol
lars inclded in a further de
veloping highway program.

The highways of Nebraska
have not alone fallen into ne
glect. Highways of every state
are in similar condition. With
more and more he vy traffic,
busses, great trucks loaded
with many tons, a 24-lmui
stream of speeding vehicles,
highways have become a na
tional pi ibbm. Yankees have
been in the habit of s living
problems, but don’t be impa
tient.

A p li e woman was called
into a n ■ ghborhood to investi
gate the complaint of one
householder against another.
The one lodging the complaint
raises a fuss with another
neighbor over 2 pennies. Who
should the police woman take
to jail?

To J. A. Lister, a formei
Hartington newspaper man
later at St. Edwards and more
recently editor of the Wamego,
Kans., Times, I give credit foi
the following:
Around the cirner I have
a friend ... in this great ci
ty that has no end. . . Yet
days go by and weeks rush
on . . . and before I know it
a year is gone. . . And I nev
er see my old friend's face
. . . tor life is a swift and
terrific race. . . He knows l
like h.m just as well ... as
in the days when 1 rang his
bell. . . And he rang mine.
We were younger then . . .
and now we are busy, tired
men. . . T*rod with playing a
foolish game . . . tired of
trying to make a name. . .
"TOMORROW," I say, "I
wiil call on Jim . . . just to
show I'm thinking of him."
. . . But tomorrow comes—
and tomorrow goes. . . . and
the distance between u s
grows and grows. . . Around
the corner, yet miles away.
. . . "Here's a telegram—Jim
died today." . . And that's
what we get—and deserve—
in the end. . . Around the
corner, a vanished friend. . .

The new look and the new
generation may get a look at
the .state militia in action if
the striking meat cutters over
at Omaha get out of hand of
local athorilies. It has been
many years since soldiers have
been called into action to sub
due violence of any sort in Ne
braska. The last instance that
comes to mind was some 40
years ago at the time of the
section homestead opening,
when a company of militia
was sent to Broken Bow, none
too anxious to encounter the
bunch of mounted cowpuneh
ers on hand there to enter fil
ings for the cattle interests.

It probably will not come to
the knowledge of either the
aggregation of those responsi
ble for bringing the aristocrat
ic group to Lincoln. Two ladiej
were nursing their disgust over
paying a kidnapper’s ransom
for admittance to that 10-acre
building on t h e university
grounds to see and hear the

PREPAREDNESS, BACK YARD STYLE . . .
f ' r^n-f P)oth, 54-year-old inventor of Lake
wood, N. J„ is a man who has confidence in
the future as long as he can remain within
jumping distance of the atomic bomb shelter

tunnel exit of his shelter, partially completed
walls of which appear in the background.

He says his snug retreat will be finished by
summer and virtually “atom bomb proof.”
Booth is unworried about his own safety,
once the shelter is completed, is concerned
about his neighbors’ welfare now. “I would
sure hate to be the only living human in
New Jersey,” he says.
i company of notables who came
. to town to put on their show
and carry away a fortune. Af
ter paying the toll at the door,
the ladies were seated where
they could neither see nos

determination never again to
be caught by an outfit that is
publicized as artists a little
above mortals. Someone has
interpreted U. S. to mean us
saps. And how Yankees do
succumb to the many allure
i ments!

During the past 88 years

If you wish to appear cultur

over the high class musical

Negroes sing the plantation
songs and beat the banjo.
