The city of Union to keep the streets of the city in the best condi tion, commensurate with the keep ing of the costs on the streets as low as possible, placed three more cars of gravel on the streets, which with what has been placed on before makes the streets in fair condition. Some one on last Sunday left a Buick car of the coupe type parked on the streets of Union, and which remained there until Tuesday with no owner.

Rice, of the firm of Sar- geant & Rice, wholesale grocers, of Nebraska City, was a visitor in Union last Tuesday, being a guest of R. D. Stine at the dinner of the Union Business Men's club and made a very worth-while address, the import of which was that to get the best ser vice one should trade with the home owned stores and give the fellow next to you an opportunity to suc ceed in business and not trade with the chain stores whose interests are at some distant place and thus do something for one's own home town ard not that of some far distant place which would never do any thing for the customer. His address wps Ave 11 receiA-ed. He also compli mented the members of the Methodist church society, Avho had prepared such a wonderful meal as the dinner Avhiih they served.

They have been having so many lor tneir regular boarding, that they were not nhlfi to feed the Union Business Men's club and they were fed by the ladies of the Methodist church, at the old library building and speaking of good meals, the ladies of the Metho dist church sure served a very fine dinner.

Ladies, 25c Spectators, 50c Better Homes Programs in 6500 Communities Movement to Bring More Attractive ness to the Home of the Na tion Gets Under Way. Washington, D. C. The Secretary of the Interior, Dr. Ray Lyman Wil bur, in his radio address last night announcing Better Homes Week stated that "active home building helps to maintain employment and good business as well as to enable us to liA-e in Better Homes." He fur ther called attention to the fact that more than 6,500 communities, aver aging more than two for every coun ty in the United States, were engaged this Aveek in demonstrating the many AA'ays in which homes of every type can be improved, and sanitary, wholesome and attractiA-e conditions of home life could be made available to all. Dr. Wilbur is president of Better Homes in America and his talk mark ed the launching of the ninth nation-wide observance of Better Homes Week. "One of the chief concerns of many of the 2S or 29 million families in the United States is to have a good home. No doubt in this radio aud ience there are some Avho are fully satisfied but nevertheless I hope that you all may be interested in know ing something of what the more than 6,500 local better homes committees throughout the country are planning to do during Better Homes Week, which starts today. Although there are more Better Homes committees in some regions than in others, there on an average two for each of the 3,073 counties, with about five hun dred to spare. The actiA-ities are not confined to cities and towns, nor even to populous rural districts, but ex tend into thinly settled areas. "Many who are accustomed to con veniences which are termed "roots' of the house, only dimly appreciate the burden of carrying water by hand, of tending oil lamps, or trying to keep warm in winter without mod ern hearing equipment, or the hard ships of living in an isolated spot Avhere there is no telephone nor even a near neighbor. They do not stop to realize that millions of families are still without many or all of the every day conveniences to which they themselves are accustomed. "Everyone of us Avho honestly sets about improving his own house, or who starts to buy or build a house, soon realizes that it would take a lifetime to become competent to make the best possible decisions in regard to every feature in the house.- By the time we master the last features, we may find that what we had learn ed about the first phases had become out of date. Since this is a practical world, we haA'e to get ahead with what knowledge and experience we can acquire in a comparatively short time. "That Is just where Better Homes in America comes Into the picture. The whole movement is built around the local Better Homes Committee, of which more than 6500 have been or ganized and are carrying out Better Homes Week programs in their local communities this year. Cleaned and Pressed Now is the time to have your winter clothes cleaned and stored away for the summer. We furnish Sanitex Mothproof bags without any extra charge. Cleaning - Pressing Tailoring Economy Cleaners Phone No. 4 Plattsmouth "It's Clean if We Clean It" "The Better Homes committees are instructed to get away as far as pos sible from the type of so called "model home" which Is fitted out the way most of us would like to have It if we did not count the cost. "The Better Homes committees start out by fixing a limit of expendi tures within the range of a family of small income, and then see If they can build, furnish and equip a house to the best of their ability within the limit set. By working together in a group, the committee members, who are often specialists in particular fields, such as interior decorating, furniture, kitchen arrangement, labor saving appliances, floor coverings and so on, are able to do a better Job than any one person could reason ably be expected to do in a relatively short time. There is the universal testimony that a visit to a good dem onstration house has a value to most people that is Tar beyond what they could gain from reading or listening to lectures for a much greater time. "Great credit is due the local com mittees for the steady improvement in demonstration houses from year to year. They seem to profit from their own experience and obtain better and better results for Avhat they spend each year as they undertake the task again. "The committees have shown re markable resourcefulness in meeting local conditions. Negro cabin dem onstrations in some southern com munities have cost only a few hun dred dollare each and have been equipped with furniture made from scrap materials by students in wood working classes. "Better Homes in America relies wholly on volunteer local committees for carrying out its activities, and they in turn rely on volunteer assist ance from local business men, civic associations, religious groups, and educational authorities as well as the local officials. At the other end, the movement Is sponsored by more than a score of agencies such as the Child Health Association and various organiza tions representing business and pro fessional groups, civic associations and the like, as well as several of the government departments. All of these have an interest in one or more phase of the home. "The small central staff of Better Homes in America in Washington, D. C, serves as a clearing house for information and assistance between these national agencies and the local committees. It thus occupies a key position of service to the biggest oc cupation in the country, that of homemaking, which has been accred ited for the first time as a type of employment in the census that has just been taken."
