Prairieland Talk (Continued from page 2.) Summer draws to the end i with prairieland a picture of verdant loveliness. Heavy foli age adorns the trees with silken plumage, bush and bower and floral bloom are things of beau ty and the meadow grass is spread in living green across the landscape. In other years we have known a dead prairie land with hot winds droning the obsequies over the scorch ed earth. The season has been both ' fruitful and disastrous, floods and storms laid waste towns and fields in some com munities but the wide sweep of prairieland has blossomed as the rose to lay in the lap of its citizens the bounties of nature. Nature bestowed upon us a rich heritage and abundant fruitage follows even a modicum of ef fort intelligently directed. * * * The remodeled social security measure that hung in the bal ance since the previous session of congress has become the law of the land, President Truman having signed the measure the other day. At the last session of congress the take from employ er and employee was increased, but no corresponding increase made in the insurance pay ments. Senator Butler, of Ne braska, was on the committee conducting hearings relating to the remodeled bill that came from the house. I had submitted some suggestions to the senator for embodiment in the law which found their way into the bill as finally passed. The folks at home influence legislation if they but knew it and brought this influence into play. The delegation in congress from Ne braska, as well as those of oth er states, are guided to a great er extent than most folks think by sentiment at home. The new law gives as well as takes, ben eficiaries now to receive nearly double what they previously were paid. • • • In view of the popularity of Gen. Douglas MacArthur fa voring him for the White House, could such a thing as executive jealousy have in spired the presidential blast about Formosa? • • • The ’88 blizzard club held its annual reminiscence party and love feast in a Lincoln park the first Sunday in September. Jan uary 12, 1888, was a great event on the weather calendar, a win ter day that has no parallel in memory’s bitter store. “Press to your heart each lovely thing, the budding rose and the bird awing”; memories of starlit nights, of the open air, the open sky, the long reach of prairie land, the msytic silence of wooded slopes; the rash adven tures of youth or the tender memories of the loved and lost, but “when care has cast her an chor in the harbor of a dream” why cling to a thing like the ’88 blizzard? • • • Winston Churchill, prime minister of Great Britian when the British were drawn into the second big war, said: “I offer you blood and toil, tears and sweat.” Britons accepted the challenge. Blood and toil, tears and sweat — the lot of Ameri cans then also, and here anoth er generation plunges into the blood letting, into the toil and tears. • • • The board of county commis sioners of Lancaster county, in which Lincoln—the capital city —finds itself, has told the night spots to go ahead with the rev elry until 3 a. m. The county at torney shakes a legal finger at the honorable ' commissioners and tells them they have opened the floodgates to lawlessness and wild night life. « • • In this day of swift action the shovel and pick method of digging graves may be outmod ed. A machine has been invent ed out at Seattle, Wash., that excavates a grave in 30 min utes. That is stowing away the dead in a hurry.

School Is Never Out For These Students All over Nebraska, schools are opening for Fall. From kindergarten to college, stu dents are getting back into the study routine. Nebraska tavern men go to school, too. Theirs is a vear ’round study of ways to im prove their operation in the public interest. Their “text book” is observation of other successful owners. Assistance is given by rep resentatives of the U. S. Brewer’s Foundation office in Lincoln. Retailers are taught to op erate their places in a wholesome, lawful manner. They are shown the impor tance of refusing sales to minors and those who might over-indulge. This type of schooling has demonstrated its value by producing an even higher level of tavern operation.
