r Relief agencies are being noti
fied that Ppland has been closed
to packages from abroad that
have been going there to help the
needy. My daughter has received
a plea from Hungary asking for
clothing that is much needed for
winter. Local postal employees
advise against sending help to
Hungary as that countryj official
ly is not our friend. That does not
hinder the women of America
from doing anything they can to
clothe the destitute, feed the
starving, relieve the suffering,
console the sorrowing, provide
for little children left homeless
and minister to troubled human
ity where ever they are in this
topsy-turvy world.

In 1874 a promoter by the
name of Russell introduced to
the religious world the group
known as Jehovah's Witnesses.
They now have a membership
of 7,000,000, every one being a
preacher or enthusiastic propa
gator of the faith.

Once you could see a good show
for two-bits, if you had a dollar in
your pocket you were fixed to
take a girl to an evening’s enter
tainment and then go to a restaur
ant for an after-the-show feed.
Maybe the attraction had been the
Sanford Dodge aggregation play
ing Hamlet or Macbeth. Don’t
start out now for an evening with
a romantic touch unless your
pockets are lined with federal
treasury notes. You are held up
for two dollars and taxes at the
ticket window and the perform
ance over the refreshment check
stares you in the face. Pity the
young bloods now who want to
show the girls a good time.

October 30, 4 p. m., the tem
perature indicator out in front
reads 80 above. The sun has work
ed its way westward across a
cloudless sky and in less than two
hours an autumn sunset spreads
its flaming colors above the prai
rie rim. Coatless and hatless city
men stride the streets and idlers
recline at ease in the shade. An
other day and the month is torn
from the calendar and Novem
ber, brown and sober, takes over.
A forgotten poet wrote of winter
lingering in the lap of spring. For
Nebraskans August leaped the
barrier of 30 days, returned with
smlies and sunshine to prairie
land to lay in the lap of autumn
the garlands of summer.

A woman over at Omaha,
still in the 30's and the mother
of nine, was handed a judicial
passport to a reformatory for
securing a quantity of things
for the home through the clever
medium of charging the pur
chases lo various citizens. When
sentence was pronounced the
woman sobbed her emotions
and said she had wanted things
for her children like other chil
dren had. Society owes that
mother not a year in the re
formatory but the means of
sustaining her family at a lev
el of decency.

I Twenty-seven thousand— that
| number of frightened Americans
sent in applications for reserva
tions should it be undertaken to
send rockets with human freignt
moonward or starward. Frighten
ed and yet brave—brave with a
courage bom out of fear of the
tragic realities of life. All voiced
one haunting fear, a longing to
reach another world of quietness
and rest. That so many intelligent
people should cherish the hope of
reaching the haven of rest when
shot through space to a distant
star is remarkable.
I choose rather to hear the
whips and scorns of time, the
joy and pain of life, than to fiy
to others we know not of, a
waiting in calm assurance the
roll call of eternity that for
evermore puts to silence the
surging tide and crashing thun
ders of warring mankind.
Twenty-seven thousand —again
ihe same arresting figure — a
figure telling the tragic story of
the sons of American fathers and
mothers who have fallen, dead or
wounded, in the Armageddon that
stains the closing days of the first
half of the 20th century.

Dorothy Babb, instructor at
North Texas State college, says
she has paid $1,500 into gifts for
friends on occasions that do not
i include her, such as weddings,
mother’s day and other special
events for wives and mothers.
She finds herself in that worthy
! group known as old maids, and
now proposes that the next day
i of special significance be known
as national old maids’ day.
One who has walked the path
way of life alone is seen on the
| street at times.
one may not be typical or un
wed womanhood, but neverthe
less is a pitiful relic of other
years, still clinging to the high
top shoes, gowns of rich material
maybe out of the Lady Hester
period, gray hair done in colon
ial style, a face from which has
been drained the color of youth,
but steps along with regal bearing
which gives evidence of womanly
character comparable to the gold
of Ophir.

Five billion dollars is to be
tossed into the pot for defense.
Half that sum with our military
establishment called home and
j stationed at the coast lines, north
and south boundaries and no red
or yellow aggressor dare take
us on. What the country needs is
another period of hard times.

Chinese red armies are said to
be headed for Tibet. Now is the

their stuff.

What Does This Have
To Do With You?
This could represent you or any other users of
electricity served by Consumers Public Power Dis
trict — housewives, merchants, workers, farmers,
businessmen — pecnle in all wralks of life. Actually,
they are Consumers Public Power District, which was
created by Nebraskans to bring the greatest possible
electrical advantages to its users.
Entirely self-supporting, Consumers
Public Power District is definitely a Ne
braska institution. It is not government
owned or supported. Artually, like
your schools, courthouse or other pul*
lie facilities, it is a part of each com
munity it serves. Yet, it is, in no way,
financed or supported by taxes.

I Now it can be told. This
clean-lined, smart-stepping
1950 version is the most popular
Buick ever built.
Ever since early in the present
year, a value-wise public has
been taking them away from us
as fast as—or faster than—the
great Buick factories could roll
them out. Within recent weeks,
production and sales have set an
all-time record.
I
Count off the dis' \?’ ’ V! and
time-tried features of this w in
ner and you’ll know w ky.
It has a Very Exclusive Motor—
Buick’s own high-compressioa
Fireball—which gets its driving
power from a combustion cham
ber found in no ocher car in the
world.
It has the bump-smothering
softness of coil springs on all
four w heels and a torque
tube drive—a comfort combi
nation that no other car
provides.
It has Dy naflow Drive*—which
ushered in a whole new concept
of effortless travel.
It has a brilliant sty ling which
sets it apart from every other car
on the tv ad.
And it has prices which say "buy
me’* to any motorist who’s
looking for maximum money's
worth.
Isn't it sensible, while these
great cars are still coming off the
line, to check with your Buick
dealer about gening one to call
your own?
