But who would raise an im pious hand to tear it from the cal endar. In a world submerged in hatreds men and women of good will can find solace in turning once more to the sacred volume and hear anew the message of the < celestial visitor: “Behold I bring i you good tidings of great joy, i which shall be to all people, for unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.” Above the world’s depressing shadows the Star of Bethlehem glows in silent splendor and today we look be yond the shadows. * * ♦ * < According to Attorney-General Beck, the son or daughter not fi- 1 nancially able to support a par- i ent and the parent receives the \ old age assistance, if the son or daughter later becomes able to J provide for the parent they are ; liable for all that the parent has received from the assistance ' funds. Rather a screwy provision of the law. • • • An astute grandma makes this observation: The old fashioned girl who darned her husband's socks now has a daughter who socks her darned husband. * • • An Iowa patriot is for univer sal military training if the ages are 17 to 80 years and include the women; 6 weeks training in camp and 30 days in the forefront of battle guaranteed to produce a peace treaty with teeth in it. That’s all right if he will include the politicians in the battle zone. • • • Efforts to think straight in a world gone mad are all but futile. To sit down and lure to your con fused mind a profound thought is no longer the fun it once was. So you turn to the back page of the evening paper and join in the non sense with Mutt and Jeff. • * * If you would arrive where you can rest on settled convictions, don’t be afraid to listen to the guy that you do not agree with.

Milacek (a bove), son of Mr. and Mrs. Al bina Milacek, of Lynch, took his boot training at the Great Lakes naval station, beginning January 3, 1951. He then was sent to Norfolk, Va., where he spent 16 weeks studying radio. At present he is in Elizabeth City, N.C., where he operates teletpye, sending and receiv ing messages to and from other stations. His address is Emil C. Milacek, RMSA, USNAF ° Weeksville, Elizabeth City, N.C. Preholiday Quiet Pervades Capitol LINCOLN—A preholiday quiet >verlay the Nebraska political ;cene this week after one of the nost hetic periods statehouse old limers could recall. The week ended with Gov. Val Peterson still undecided which ■vay to turn in his senatorial can iidacy: stay in the race with Sen. 3ugh Butler for the white-haired Dmahan’s regular 6-year term, or challenge Former Gov. Dwight jrriswold for the 2-year job? The problem is a toughie. And here’s plenty of pressure on both sides with the governor almost squarely in the middle Pushing lim for the 6-year terms are per sons who were originally Gris vold supporters, but shifted their 3acking to Peterson when he be came governor and Griswold tem Dorarily abandoned the political 'ield. On the other side are the Oma ha-led Butler forces who want the governor to duck the colli sion with Butler and clash with Griswold, whom they describe as a much easier opponent. Obviously, both factions want their man to have a comparative ly free field. Both Butler backers and the Griswold group say their candidate can beat Peterson but they’re working overtime to see that the race doesn’t come off. Persons who know the gover nor well don’t pretend to know what he’s going-to do. One advi or concedes that Butler’s strength in Omaha, where about a 5th of the vote is cast, is a big factor in the argument that Peterson should run for the short term. On the other hand, Peterson is known to feel that if he knocked out But ler, he’d really be the champion, whereas there would be less glory S U O *o ° ** | n a win over Griswold. By the aipe token,-a defeat by Griswold would be humiliating. • • • Swinging— Griswold came out of his cor ner, swinging at the governor. In his announcement of his can didacy, he made this statement: “I am sure it will be found from the record that during my 6-year term (as governor) there were fewer state employees than there were under under my pre decessor (Democrat Roy Cochran) or under my successor (Peterson) and it is by studying the number of public employees that judge ment can best be made as to whether economy is a fundamen tal belief.” To be perfectly fair, it would have to be pointed out that much of the time Griswold was in office was during the war when it was impossible to do much traveling, to build roads, or to perform sev eral other functions of govern ment. And, so according to the state tax commissioner’s office, no records ere kept during Gris wold’s administration of the num ber of state employees, so the rec ord is difficult to check. Petejson. who was Dwight Griswold's private secretary in the governor's office, declined to comment on his former boss' filing. Griswold made no secret of the fact that he had hoped Peterson would appoint him—instead of Fred Seaton—to the interim Sen ate post. Many Nebraska republicans are unhappy at the prospect of a Peterson - Griswold fight. “It won’t prove anything,” moaned one man friendly to both, “they both stand for the same things." • » • Senator— Nebraska’s newest senator is a handsome, youthful-looking ex Kansan whose appointment ended 11 days of guessing. Fred Andrew Seaton, who thinks of himself as a olitical middle-of-the-roader, told newsmen: “While many of my friends worked zealously to secure this apointment, I made absolutely no personal effort toward that end. hat means I will go to Washing ton with an open mind and free hands, which the governor want ed I am sure, and without which I could not have accepted the ap pointment.” Seaton said that under no cir cumstances would he be a can didate to succeed himself. * • • Wrangle— The state board of control has found itself in a damned-if-you-do and damned-if-you-don’t position. Acting largely under pressure rom county commissioners, and rom the threat of a legislative crackdown, the board several weeks ago hired Myer Avedocech as the $8,00-a-year business con sultant to the aid program. Ave dovech, with the unanimous sup port of 2 advisory committees— one ocunty aid directors and one representing commissioners—pro posed an overhauling of the or ganizational setup of the assist ance department. First reaction from the most of ficials was good. Then from re cipients themselves and from Tom Condon, chairman of the Gage o •ounty board of supervisors, same omplaints. Boiled down, the gripes were aimed at Mrs. Mary Prince, chairman of the board of control. Condon charged that Mrs. Prince had ’’steamrollered” the organizational plan through and | said she was dictating to the other 12 board members, Tom Dredla and William Diers. This week, the reorganizational plan was still going ahead. • • • Try Again— First round of Nebraska’s school land lease squabble went to the state board of educational lands when a 3-judge federal court in ©maha denied the injuntion against auctions sought by Wil liam Probst, of Grant. But the leaseholders squared off this week for a second round. On file in district court here is a motion for a new trial and a spokesman for the leaseholders association said his group planned to take the bat tle to the U. S. supreme court, if necessary. Robert Nelson, the assistant at omey-general who is legal advi- : i ser to the board, doubted lessees would get very far.
