Stuart Band Takes Part in Clinic— STUART — The Stuart high school band went to Ainsworth Wednesday, January 27, to take part in the annual North-Central Nebraska high, school conference band clinic which was under the direction of Donald Lentz, band director at the University of Ne braska, assisted by Stanley Shumway, also from the Univer sity of Nebraska.

Bassett, O’Neill, Springview, Stuart and Valen tine. Miss Kathleen Donohoe was a v/eekend guest at the Walter Donohoe home. “I start where the last man left off” —Thomas A. Edison t Edison, to explain his incessant and tireless reading of scientific journals, technical papers, patents and books, said that he read to avoid useless repetition of old experiments. “I start where the last man left off.” What Edison knew, and perhaps said in an unquoted moment, is that thousands of men would be needed to “start where he left off.” “Just wait a little while,” prophesied Edison, “and we’ll make electric light so cheap that only the wealthy can afford to burn candles.” Edison lived to see lamps that gave four times as much . light and cost one-fifth as much to buy. And electric lighting has progressed far beyond that. He recognized that an invention does not end a search. It begins a search. The lamp was a beginning in forcing not only its own evolution but the evolution of meters, fuses, sockets, wiring, power distribu tion systems, transformers and generating stations. He lived to see the company that was formed to carry on de velopment of electric light and power evolve into one of the world’s most important industrial research centers. Today General Electric laboratories employ several thousand men and women who are seeking new things on widely different fronts. It is seventy-five years since Edison lit the first successful carbon lamp. He will be remembered for inventions that changed jhc world. But let him be remembered, too, for inspiring so many men to start where he left off. roa canyfri//jtcal cen^firf&nce GENERAL ELECTRIC ,:v a rA jifcv.vi mV*./;*? -WS-Wfe/S- * a. V’W.K- ■ Ford for '54 . . . advanced design engine. 954 Ford *Exclusives’ Noted _ The 1954 Ford passenger cars feature the following Ford exclu sives in the high volume field: An entirely new 130-hp Y block V-8 engine with overhead valves. A new 115-hp I-block mileage maker six engine, noted for econ omy. New ball-joint front suspension which Ford engineers call the greatest advance in front suspen sion in 20 years. The Skyliner—an entirely new hardtop model with tinted, trans parent plastic roof over the driv ing compartment. A smart new Ford Sunliner convertible with an unusual transparent plastic panel inserted in the top over the front seat to provide overhead visibility. Four new power-operated driv ing assists: Power brakes, power steering, four-way power seat, power-lift windows. Fordomatic transmission. “The two new Ford engines for 1954—the Y-block V-8 and the I block mileage maker six—were designed expressly to lead their respective fields and have been under development for the past six years,” according to Henrv J. Lohaus, manager of the Lo haus firm. “Ford was the first to offer a V-8 engine in the low-price field, and although the major ity of expensive cars joined the V-8 parade. Ford today is still the only car in its price class to have V-8 power. “For 1954 Ford has perfected two new engines that are as far ahead in their fields as the or iginal V-8 was in its day. They represent the greatest power ad vances since the original Ford V-8. And they have the benefit of Ford ‘know-how’ gained in building more than 16 million V-8 engines during the past 22 years,” Mr. Lohaus said. Mr. Lohaus pointed out that Ford’s new overhead valve Y block V-8 engine, with its deep block construction, is of modern, short-stroke, low-friction, high compression design. It has a com pression ratio of 7.2 to 1 and is smoother, quieter and gives more responsive power with greater economy and longer life than last year’s engine. It rates 130 brake horsepower, up 20 horsepower over the 1953 L-head V-8. The new I-block 115-hp mile age maker six also is a complete ly modern high - compression, low-friction engine. It rates 14 horsepower more than the 1953 Ford six and, like the Y-block V-8, it is an “over-square” en gine According to Mr. Lohaus, the new ball-joint suspension makes the 1954 Ford the most comfort able and easiest handling Ford ever built. __ I ' ~ DRS.
