Rep. Carl T Curtis, a member
of congress from Nebraska, urges
the appropriation of $5,76J,0U0 of
federal funds for what is called
“reclamation work” in the state.
That, of course, would be a fine
thing for the community that
would benefit by the handout as
long as it lasts. The men in con
gress preach economy while after
votes and then pull for a pass on
the gravy train. While communi
ties all over the country are tak
ing millions of federal funds, one
way of buying votes, there is lit
tle hope for economy in govern
ment until forces take over in
Washington that will put an end
to tossing out federal funds. Re
clamation, whatever is to be “re
claimed,” is primarily the job of
the community directly interest
ed. At most it could be consider
ed a state job, thus hardly fair to
tax Iowa and the other states for
something we waht on prairie
land.

Nebraska—A Good
Place to Work
Nebraska is nationally
known as a good state in
which to be employed. We
are favored with honest and
fair labor-management re
lations, healthy temperate
climate, and a fine state in
which to raise a family.
This favorable working at
mosphere is reflected in our
state’s unemployment insur
ance rates, which are con
sistently below the national
average.
All Nebraskans can be
proud of our record of fine
employment—for they have
made it so.
Nebraskans can be proud,
too, of our state tavernmen
who have established a rec
ord of vigilance, and who
strive to operate in the pub
lic interest by maintaining
clean, orderly, law-respect
ing places.
On both counts—good em

Most kids can lie as fast as a
horse can run. And this is the
month in which occurs the anni
versary of one of our country’s
greatest who was reputed to have
never told a lie. Another of our
country’s greatest, born in Feb
ruary, was famous as a story tell
er, mostly fiction. A child makes
of himse,.' a liar not because of
any sense of right or wrong, but
in response to the primitive in
stinct of self preservation. A
child, like many adults, rarely
knows truth from error. With a- !
mazing candor the child speaks
falsely. More than likelv the par
ent or older person is responsible'
They invite a lie bv coming at a
kid with an accusing question. It ;
is natural for the child to meet
the accuser with a lie to save
himself from a lickin or other
punishment. A child will speak j
the truth if approached sympa
thetically as an honest youngster i
and not as a criminal.

With all the new things we’ve had to talk
about in 1952 Buicks, we’re just getting
around to this one.
It’s called “Easy-Eye Glass”!—a new kind of
glass with a cool, soft, blue-green tint, which
filters the sun’s rays entering your car—cuts
down their glare and heat.
You’ll appreciate the “glare control” at any
time — and when you hit your first stretch of
hot-weather driving you'll find that this glass
does a great job of keeping the heat out o£
your lap.
We know—because thousands of happy Buick
owners already’ have this new comfort feature.
The rest of the automobile industry is just
beginning to discover what Buick discovered
q year ago. It’s a great idea, which costs you
very little extra if you order it when you’re
buying a new’ car.
But this still leaves the other folks with a lot
of catching up to do.
You’ll look a long way before you’ll find any*

thing that approaches a Buick’s million dollar
ride.
'You’ll look a long way before you’ll find anything
so completely satisfying as Dynaflow Drive.*
'You’ll find it hard to match the style and beauty
and harmonious good taste of a 1952 Buick’s
interior trim and fabrics.
And when it comes to what you get for what
you pay — we'll gladly match price tags with
the field.
Have you had a good look at the ’52 Buicks?
That’s something you ought to do soon.

makes it read that the woman
"gave first degree murder in the
