Let’s Be Safety-Conscious
Safety, like freedom, is everybody’s business. 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.

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

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?

eventually turn in favor of

The 2 armies met at Ohod.
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.

thereof are the ways of death,1*

swish of bats’ wings for good
fortune coming your way.
