New Cream-Grading Program
. A 4 page folder entitled "Rules and Regulations and Manual
for the 4 Day Cream-Grading Program" is now being circulated
by the Nebraska department of agriculture and inspection and
the state's creamery industry.
The folder is devoted to the program which becomes effect
ive on Monday, May 1, and which will provoke numerous changes
in the marketing of butterfat in Nebraska.
While Holt countyans are not the foremost producers of dairy
products in the state, the new law will have a pronounced effect
hi marketing habits and policy. In fact, because of the distance
factor, which is greater in these parts than in eastern sections of
the state, the law will cause more changes here than for our
neighbors on the east, where population is greater and where
cities and towns are closer.
Under the statute, a farmer must seal his cream at least
•nee in each 4-day period to insure first-grade price for his pro
duct. This law affects all Nebraska farmers who sell cream. The
taw has already been in effect for some time in Iowa, Wisconsin
and other dairy states.
The program has as its objective the improvement in quality
at cream used for butter manufacture.
Basic provisions are as follows:
On the first delivery of cream, and each delivery thereafter,
the cream buyer must attach a 4-day tag to each patron’s empty
container This tag will bear the patron’s name, date of delivery,
and buyer’s identification stamp.
The law reads:
“New producers cannot be paid for number 1 cream on their
first delivery." Thus, local buyers have already begun tagging
even before the law becomes effective.
The law says that "the differential between first grade cream
and second grade cream shall not be less than 5 cents per p'Msnd
of butterfat."
Only clean, fresh cream, which has had the best of care will
produce a quality butter. Since the general quality of Nebraska
cream and butter has not been on par with the products of some
of the other states, with a resultant price penalty on the competi
tive markets, state officials believe that the new marketing reg
ulations will be a definite aid to both producer and consumer.

Nebraska Ahead of Pack
(Guest Editorial from Dakota County Star)
The anti-crime activity following the shooting of Paul Binag
fto in Kansas City may indicate that Nebraska was just a little
ahead of the pack.
Nebraska's attorney-general cleaned out most of the gambling
activities in the state last summer in an all-out campaign against
organized gambling. Some, of course, still remains.
The shooting of the Kansas City political and gambling boss
emphasized the dangers awaiting municipal government where
gambling flourishes. Binaggio, a ruthless murderer and vice chief,
also was a big wheel political boss.
Politics and gambling must run hand in hand For no big
time gambling can flourish without the protection of the city
officials.
It is regrettable that Amerian citizens condone this type of
politics in our government. Yet many otherwise respectable peo
ple will defend these activities as “politics," even when its odor
reaches clear to the White House.

I have had the opportunity to
set foot on that consecrated
ground. I failed to thrill as I
have thrilled standing alone at
the sunset hour on prairieland
and looking out across its vast
expanse, touched at evening
with the varying shades of ap
proaching night. At sunset a
I stillness fall over prairieland
and the skyline glows in the
gold of departing day The un
ruffled waters of the little lake
lay like a sheet of silver on the
bosom of unbroken sod. The
swish of wings has been stilled
and within another hour the
j stars burn over the sandhills
and lay caught in the velvet
j foliage of a grove of lordly cot
[ tonwoods.
Some get life’s thrill in the
crowded haunts of men and
“ven in the sinking dens of
nightly hangout. For quiet
•'barm, for mental poise and soul
nspiration prairieland offers at
evening the fullness of content
ment.

\et me grow lovely, growing
old—
So many fine things do;
'-aces and ivory and gold
And silks need not be new.
\nd there is healing in old trees,
Old streets a glamor hold;
Why not may I, as well as these,
Grow' lovely, growing old.
—Karl Wilson Baker.
Mr. Baker wraps life’s tragic
period in a bundle of myrrh,
fhe poem may have been in
' spired by a visit to a nursing
home, an institution that has
sprung up in reecnt years for
! the care at so much per head of
the unwanted aged.
; Two men I see from time to |
time are in such an institution
j and $80 a month for each is paid
j out of state assistance funds,
' $160 a month for a home for the
1 who occupy a basement.
These 2 gents "grow lovely,
growing old." But the depths
of pathos haunts the nursing
homes.
There you will see the stark
tragedy of the years, bowed
forms, drawn faces, eyes that
have lost their luster look out 1
upon a dead past, and for them
one desolated day is followed by
another. Out of the verdant
years of youth and childhood j
scarcely a memory lingers to
mitigated the frosts of four
score years.
An old sinner, on the verge of
a full century, faced the shad
ows of life’s sunset as he lay on
a nursing home cot in his filth
and cursed. In a few days the
undertakers took over and an
other of the unlovely and un
wanted was out of the way.
“Grow lovely, growing old”—
what human contact is so beau- !
tifully inspiring as to sit in the
presence of one whose fullness
of life has brought with it the
knowledge of how to "grow
lovely, growing old.”
Why so many who grow ugly,
growing old? *It buds in early
life and blooms into a loco weed
with the passing years. "Let me
row lovely, growing old.”

President Truman proposes
an international group gather
ing to get at the truth of the
world situation. What is truth?
a Roman governor once asked.
What one individual accepts as
truth may appear to another as
gross error or even nonsense.
The dictionary in use by the
great Moslem world defines
Christians as infidels. As per
taining to faith in the Moslem
setup they certainly are infidels.
What appears to the American
mind as ridiculous claims are
accepted in Moscow as truth j
What one religious group holds
to as truth another group re- ]
ieets on the grounds of error.
The Lord once prayed this pray- j
er for his adherents: “Sanctify j
them through Thy truth; Thy j
word is truth.” Most of the
world grasps at everything but
that in search for truth.

One Kentucky rail splitter

The one preserved the Union
that government for, by and of

and the other authorizes the
building of the Panama canal

even-handed justice and no fav
orites standing in the way of
the operation of measures to

‘There’s part of the sun in an
apple, there’s part of the moon
in the rose; there's part of the
flaming Pleiades in every leaf
that grows.” As I came along
the street just now I saw part
of the black earth, tear drops ,
from the sky and a golden sun
beam in a bed of flowers flash
ing their yellow bloom.

■\ ’’Ol' know many things about the man behind the
X w heel w hen this bold front comes w inging your
way.
He knows style —he is traveling behind the boldest
and freshest forecast of things to come that is on the
roads today.
He’s a practical person—likes the idea of plenty of
protection out front without spending money on
such extra items as bumper guards.
He likes convenience—the easier parking made pos
sible through the precious inches of over-all length
saved by this design—not to mention freedom from
"locking horns” with the car ahead.
And he’s foresighted — knows that accidents do hap
pen sometimes—and he goes for the idea of a front
end design that can be repaired by replacing single
bars instead of a whole grille work.
^ou could add that he likes power —for behind this
smart forefront there’s a big bonnetful of Fireball
horsepower.
He likes comfort—since every car bearing this grille
rides on soft coil springs all around.
Most of all, he has an eye for a buy. For this bold
new design means Buick—and in every series,
Special, Siter and Roadmaster, Buick means
a better albround buy.
For proof of that —go look, try and compare.
Y'ou’ll find that, dollar for dollar, your Buick dealer
has the top values —and that goes for cars bracketing
every price range above the very lowest.
