Dessert Delight Needs No Cooking
BY GAYNOR MADDOX, NEA Staff Writer
YTrHETHER it’s a canasta party on the porch or just a friendly
” gabfest, something to eat is in order. On hot summer days or
evenings, you want something that can be made far in advance, so
there’s no last-minute fussing in the kitchen. Why not serve a
refrigerator dessert such as this Icebox Pudding.
Made with layers of crunchy com soya shreds and a pineapple
nut mixture, it’s good eating for warm weather. There’s no cooking
involved, therefore the kitchen will be cool. This dessert is attractive
when cut in squares and served with a topping of whipped cream
and a mint-flavored cherry.
Com Soya Icebox Padding
<6-8 servings)
One-half cup butter or fortified margarine, 1 cup sugar, 3 egg
yolks, 1 cup crushed pineapple, well drained; % cup chopped
English walnuts, IVx cups corn soya shreds, crushed; % cup whip
ping cream, 6 to 8 mint-flavored cherries.
Cream butler and sugar, add egg yolks and continue creaming
until well blended. Add pineapple and nut meats. Arrange alter
nate layers of com soya shreds and pineapple mixture in shallow
pan, 6x10x2 inches, using cereal for bottom and top layers. Place
in refrigerator for at least 4 hours for flavors to blend; serve imme
diately. Cut in squares and top each serving with whipped cream
garnished with mint cherry, if desired.
Have you tried the new frozen lemonade? It tastes wonderful
and banishes lemon squeezing. There’s also frozen grape juice for
summer coolers. Pungent as freshly-crushed blue grapes, it com
bines perfectly with other fruit juices.
State Capitol News —
Nebraska Plans 1.250-Man State Guard;
War Time Air Plan Being Drafted
LINCOLN—Nebraska’s total
1950 tax levy is 5.86 mills, a de
crease of 1/10 from the 1949
figure. The levy was set by the
state board of equalization af
ter Tax Commissioner Philip K.
Johnson announced a 2.8 per
cent increase in the state’s prop
erty valuation.
Assessors figured the 1950
valuation at $2,712,505,446, an
increase of nearly $75,000,000
over 1949.
“Progress made in the last 4
years toward obtaining a more
complete listing and better val
uation of property,” was cred
ited by Johnson for the in
crease. A decline in individual
personal property assessments
of nearly 5 million dollars was
offset by assessments on farm
lands and improvements, city
lots and improvements and on
business and special schedules.
"In my opinion," Johnson
said, "the assessors, county
boards ot equalization and the
taxpayers themselves are to
be congratulated upon the a
mount of progress made in
the last 4 years toward ob
taining a more complete list
ing and better valuation of
| properly."
Total tangible assessments
for 1950 represent a 25.5 * per
cent boost over the 1946 amount
which was the last year of
property assessment before the
1947 legislature changed admin
istration of property taxes.
Johnson said the assessment
job had been improving every
year since then.

Governor to Conference—
Nebraska is drafting plans for
a 1,250-man state guard. The 5
battalions of military police
troops, composed primarily of
wTar veterans, would be called to
duty after the national guard is
federalized, Gov. Val Peterson
said.
The governor said Brig.-Gen.
Guy N. Henninger, state adjut
ant general, had prepared a
civil defense plan for the state
but that its details were not be
ing released until after co-ord
ination with the national civil
defense plan. Peterson will at
tend a meeting in Chicago, 111.,
September 8 of the executive
committee of the national gov
ernors’ conference. The state
chief exectives will be briefed
on the nationwide program.
* * *
Flying Restrictions Seen—
At the same time, state aero
nautics officials are developing
a plan to use civilian planes if
an “all-out emergency” occurs.
James D. Ramsey, director of
the state aeronautic department,
said the civil aeronautics ad
ministration’s aviation develop
ment advisory committee will
meet next month to write a
large-scale program.
During the last war, Ram
sey said, all privately-owned
planes were grounded for a
short time, then were allowed
to fly under severe restric
tions.
Airfields which accomodate
large planes doubtless would
be attacked, Ramsey said. Small
planes could be pressed into
service to help evacuate persons
and transport medical supplies.
* * •
54 Million Spent—
The state highway depart
ment spent $3,943,345 on road
construction during the first 6
months of the year, State Engi
neer Fred Klietsch has reported
to the legislature.
He said $2,445,000 went for
maintaining roads and $2,630 to
help maintain bridges.
Several months ago, Klietsch
estimated the gasoline tax
would yield $12„900,000 during
1950 and registration fees $2,
600,000. The June 30 report
showed these figures to be fairly
accurate. The gas tax produced
$6,500,000 during the first half
of the year and fees for license
plates $2,463,000. Virtually all
fees are in by July 1.
Admit Defeat—
Nebraska voters will find
only 3 issues on their Novem
ber ballots.
First to admit defeat in cam
paign for signatures were the
backers of a move to place leg
alized gambling on the ballot.
A few days later, the Nebraska
New Car Dealers association
! tossed in the sponge as it came
1 up to the filing deadline severe
al thousand signatures short of
the required 47,500, to get a
vehicle tax proposal before the
electorate.
■ Dudley and Eugene Gray,
along with Glenn Williams, all
of Superior, had been at work
thumping the tubs for the
gambling petitions since last
i fall when James H. Anderson,
then the attorney-general, an
nounced his statewide crack
down on all forms of something
for-nothing.
Observers here feel that
one of the Superior men's big
gest mistakes was in counting
on the support of veteran and
lodge groups.
There were 2 things wrong
with this, they say. One is that
the clubs, especially the veter
ans, found that while it might
be rough financially, there weer
CEREAL* PINEAPPLE and not icebox pnddlnr for the porch party*
a lot of advantages in being rid
of the one-armed bandits. The
other factor is that none of the
clubs wanted to have slot ma
chines if they were also to be
in every corner drug store and
filling station. Unless the clubfi
had a monoply, they didn't want
the machines at all.
The Nebraska New Car Deal
ers association had wanted the
voters to consider the substitu
tion of a uniform motor vehicle
use fee instead of the present
property tax method. John B.
Quinn, the Lincoln promoter
who is manager of the associa
tion, said the effort spent in
gaining 38,000 signatures would
not all be wasted. He filed peti
tions with the legislative coun
cil and issued a statement,
which said, in part:
“These petitions are positive
and dynamic evidence of the
statewide appeal for the legis
lature to initiate a similar meas
ure for a vote of the people at
the next general election. This
would partially solve the gen
eral tax problem until a con
stitutional convention is held”
Quinn said the association
had appropriated $5,000 for the
petition undertaking.
* * *
Vote on 3 Measures—
That means that Nebraskans
will vote on these 3 measures.
1. A gasoline tax increase of
a penny per gallon.
2. Increased motor vehicle
registration fees.
3 Reorganization of the Ne
braska legislature.
The gas tax and registration
fee boost were voted by the
1949 legislature to finance Gov.
Val Peterson’s program.
They were immediately at
tacked by the oil and trucking
industries as well as the Farm
Council, a coalition of the
Grange, Farmers Union and
Farm Bureau, formed especial
ly to battle the revenue meas
ures.
The Farm Council circulat
ed petition* against the 2
laws hoping to gat enough to
enjoin their becoming effec
tive- The farm organisations
failed in ihia, but did have
enough signers to force a vote
on the issue.
The legislative measure would
provide:
A legislature of from 30 to 50
members. The present member
ship is 43.
Annual or biennial sessions
l "as provided by law.” This
! -means the legislators themsel
j ves would determine whether
they would meet every year or
every two years.
That if sessions are held an
! nually in even-numbered years,
the legislature would only work
only on appropriations and ap
pointment unless specifically
requested by the governor to
undertake other business.

Industries Sought—
Nebraska, says the director
of the division of resources, has
a chance at locating 14 eastern
manufacturing companies. C. V.
j Price, who just returned from
a 3 • week tour of the east, de
scribed the firms like this:
“Four of those are the so
called needle trades—well-rat
ed concerns manufacturing hos
iery, underwear and so on.
Three are chemical, one elec
trical, one a large watch as
| sembler, one a woolen enter
prise, one a large fertilizer con
cern, one heavy machinery, and
one a "blind' manufacturer,
whose contact with us is being
conducted by a large New York
realty outfit. Then there are
two large wallboard manufac
turers who have indicated their
interest in the possibility of a
wheat-straw plant for Nebras
ka. One of these is definitely
interested and is counted among
our 14 prospects.”
Price said he felt the resourc
es division was on the right
track, but “we simply should
have started this intensive ef
fort about three years ago.”
John H. McCarville departed
Sunday for Ellsworth, Minn., to
join Mrs. McCarville and son,
Michael, for a 2-weeks’ vaca
tion with relatives.
