It need not wreck your bank ac count to introduce a bit of change when you’re arranging your tress es. If you’re looking for the golden coin of variety, you may find that you have a veritable treasure chest right upon your own dressing table. Look at your jewelry box with a new eye and a fresh viewpoint TTS not recommended that you divert your diamonds or your grandmother’s heirloom opals to this purpose, but, stresses the Hair Fashion Council, it’s possible to do an ‘ihflnite number of interesting things with your costume jewelry. For a glistening touch ti^r catching a pearl bracelet around a strand of your hair; wind a rhinestone chain through your coronet braid; fasten a bright, be-gemmed pin in the center of your chignon. If you’re low on jewelry, even the department store variety, you can still, with a bit of experimen tation, work out a new and inter esting coiffure. Narrow, black velvet ribbon is your ally in one outstanding hair do which Is basically a chignon arrangement. Instead of simply looping the bun at the nape of your neck, wind the ribbon twice around the crown of your head for a distinctively - graceful Hellenic affect Imagination can change a humdrum hair-do into a distinctive, coiffure. Velvet ribbon, left, wrapped twice around the head in the style of the ancient Creeks, vies for attention with the glitter effect, right, created with ornaments originally intended to glorify wrists or neck*. _ , o Seaton Gets Post; Griswold Returns Important political news de veloped this week. In grand, well-advised public relations fashion, Gov. Val Peter son on Monday appointed Fred Seaton, 42, Hastings publisher and owner of several newspapers and radio station properties in Ne braska, Wyoming, and South Da kota, to succeed the late Kenneth S. Wherry. The announcement was made from the governor’s offices before a battery of microphones, movie and television cameras. Seaton will serve until the next election. A native Kansan, Seaton has prospered during his years in Nebraska and has built the Hastings Tribune into an out standing small city daily, har ing won national recognition on several occasions. He served 2 terms in the uni cameral legislature and his ap pointment was partly brought about by encouragement to the governor from former Seaton col leagues. • • • Griswold Acts — Former Gov. Dwight Griswold, 58, Gering banker, Tuesday filed for the short term U. S. senate post vacated by the death of Ken neth S. Wherry. A 3-term governor of Nebraska, Griswold is a past state comman der of the American Legion, a past president of the Nebraska Press association and after retir ing as governor he spent 8 months in Germany and a year in Greece as a civilian administrator. He is a graduate of the Univer sity of Nebraska, and after serv ice in World War I, published a newspaper in Gordon until elected governor in 1940. He is a lifelong resident of west ern Nebraska. In 1949 he moved to Scottsbluff and in March of this year became president of the Gering National bank. Tn outlining his views on cur rent problems he issued the fol lowing statement: "I am filing today as a re publican candidate for the short term of United States senator. I have planned to do this for the past week but waited until the governor made his appoint ment. I had, in fact hoped to receive that appointment, but the governor decided otherwise. Anyway. I am now complating my filing. “I feel strongly that we need in this country a change in our na tional administration. And I recognize full well that the elec tion of a republican president is more important than the election of any person to the United States senate. “I am hoping that the republi can party will nominate a man next year who is prepared and able to live up to the high obliga tions of the president and do the job that needs to be done. I want to be active in assisting such a candidate. Economy must be the watch-word. Thrift must again be established as a nation al virtue. This country must re main as the land of opportunity, rather than promising that it will be solely a land of security. I belibve as strongly as any one in security and good living, but I have bad the opportunity to see in Europe other nations who ! promised security but failed to give it h^ausec their production is not mlHntainpd0through sound financial and economic policies, o “Only through production can com° ^n'-urttv ” CJriswold said. <">The United States cannot main tain its present rate of expendi tures; taxes are already too high if me f^p ontorprise svstem is to be maintained; only through the ! free cntornHse “svstem will there j he pood lob?, good pay, better living and real security. O o O o "While a republican presi dent must be prepared to give the people leadership in this di rection, yet he will need support in the United States senate from men who believe with him. I am one of those. “I must warn the people of Ne braska that if elected I will not be interested in giving in to sel fish pressure groups who have some petty project that they think must be maintained at govern ment expense. I am not going to be interested in keeping up fences for the next campaign. I expect during the short two-year term to vote for the best interests' of the United States of America and not think of my own political good.” O’Neill Men Among Recent Enlistee# Sfc. James R.
