No one escapes the effects of job accidents—neither the worker who gets hurt, his family and the community which suffer from his loss of earn ing power, the employer who loses a valued employee’s service, nor the nation itself which cannot afford this waste of skill and production. Nevertheless, 70 men and women continue to be killed and more than 8,000 others injured at, their jobs each and every day of the year. The cost of these accidents last year, according to statistics amounted to more than $4,500,000,000. Aside from tho tragic humanitarian angle, think of the losses that are suffered by our economy as a result of more than 2,000,000 job accidents each year! Since the birth of the industrial safety movement 40 years ago, some industries, some establishments and some states have made remarkable progress in reducing the toll of occupational ' accidents; others have not done so well. This is true in spite of the fact that, in 99 out of 100 cases, it has been proven that the safe factory or farm is the efficient one. Like pestilence, accidents strike everywhere. There is no single cause or cure for occupational accidents. Each may be created by a variety of factors, all of which can and must be con trolled. Accidents don’t “just happen.” They are caused and, therefore, can be prevented. a. a. ■ City wide Cleanup? Lets Go! O’Neill’s city council has been talking a clean-up campaign. If plans for a citywide project go through, to include spray ing against mosquitoes and other insect pests, the move should have the unqualified support of every real estate owner and every resident of the city. We’ve all been lax in the business of keeping our city clean. The council is determined to do something about it and keep it clean. Let’s go! ★ ★ ★ Holt countyans are promised quite an array of candidates from which to choose when they go to the primary election polls on August 8. Judging from the list of those in quest of the county sheriff's job, it is far-and-wide the most attractive of them all. * * Gov. Val Peterson is said to have had an automobile ride over state highways 281 and 11 recently. We’ve always subscribed to the idea that a few hard knocks in the right places does no harm. ★ ★ ★ Noticed the city dump lately? It has been fenced in, cleaned up around the fringe, and is as orderly as a dump grounds could be. We commend the city council for its action. Not Conducive to Efficiency __ Prairieland Talk — Mechanized Fanning, Bright Lights Responsible For Today’s City Youth By ROMAINE SAUNDERS LINCOLN — Universities now confer what they call master >f science in journalism. I don’t know just what that in volves. A course where you can come out a “master of sci ence in jour nalism” once began as prin ters’ devil. Time was when you put in 60 hours a Rnmaina Week feedin8 un by foot power and pulling ’he lever on a George Washing ton hand press, the science be ing to get a good print, a pass able register and get the paper out on time. The next step was boss of the shop when you still had more worries how to stave off credi tors, deal with delegations that thought their mission in life was to prescribe the course of the “free press," and sometimes throw out an irate subscriber. The present generation of ‘“masters” may look at their “sheepskin" when they have got into the cold reality of jour nalism as it is today and then wonder. One thousand, seven hundred and ninety-nine “educated fools.” That's the way a gradu ating senior at the University of Nebraska classed the group with which he graduated “a highbrow.” They were added to the long honor roll of citizens who have come from the classic halls of our state university through the years. A minister of the gospel a native of the old sod who has seen a lot of the globe on which we abide, says ' of all the cities he has seen, New York is the worst, and Lin coln the best, the cleanest, most beautiful and an ideal education center. So these 1,799 graduates that mastered the university courses should sense their responsibility in upholding the traditions of their alma mater. In all, there has come again into the world's whirlwind this year from the several in stitutions of learning in our capital city, a numerous body of young men and young wom en. One of the commencement i speakers told the graduates that ! they were venturing out on ! life’s sea at a time when the , need is for “dynamic leader ship.” That is more or less old I stuff from commencement plat forms. Maybe the word now should be atomic leadership. An transcending it all, how many will catch the vision to submerge personal ambition in the larger scope of the general welfare? • • • Census returns show a con I siderable decline in rural pop ulation in Nebraska, while most towns and cities have increased in population. A change t in equipment with which to oper ate on the land that enables one man to do the work of 2 ac counts for some of the decline in rural population but not all.

Mohammed said to his fanatical army: “Charge them! I can hear the wings of angels as they hasten to our help.” The Turks were cut down and Mohammed made good his escape. He had heard the flapping of vultures’ wings following his army to feast on fallen men and beasts.
