WPA Projects are Beneficial to the Merchants Nebraska Offices Show Large Percent of All Wages Go to Coffers of Home Town Merchants. Workers employed cn Nebraska Public Works Administration projects will have spent wapres totalinsr about $30,528,913 with local merchants for the benefit of business in their com munities when the current program is completed, a summary issued by rWA disclosed today. The estimate was made by Acting PWA Regional Director Joseph D. Evans on the basis of findings of the bureau of labor statistics of the department of labor as to the expend itures for goods and services by men employed en PWA project sites from the pay they received from private contractors. The bureau's study also a Horded in formation, for the first time, on the "ecor.omic distribution' of these wage expenditures amen? the local mer chants, the grocer, the clothier, the landlord and others, and how these expenditures benefit the general com munity. Application of the Bureau's esti mates to Nebraska thus would in dicate, the Acting Regional Director said, the A cents of the construc tion worker's dollar goes for food, clothing and housing- The balance is spent for such necessities as house hold operation, transportation, medi cal care- and other items. The Nebraska distribution percent ages were the same as those for some cf its neighboring- states, but differed from those of other geographic , re gions. For the country as a whole, the study afforded the first tangible show ing of the effect of such wage expendi tures i:i communities undertaking PWA projects, Mr. Evans said.

' TO HEAR RIVER FLOOD DAMAGE COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa, June 16 (Up) Federal District Judge Charles Dewey of Des Moines has set June 26 as date for hearing- a suit of about 200 farmers living- on the Missouri river between Sioux City and Falls City against the govern ment for damages jrrowing out of the d;sasterous 1938 floods. The plantiffs charged that work done by army engineers in straightening- the river for navig-ation caused it to overflow The case is expected to set a precedent as being- the first of its kind to be decided in the coun try. The government is expected to contend heavy snows and rains in the mountains were responsible for the flood and that the situation would have been worse had it not been for the channel work by the army engin eers.

The Lest protection Is the so-called "double treatment" administered by a veteri narian. This is best given about wean ing time, while the pigs are young and well. . The importance of having the im munizing done by a veterinarian Is due i.-b.

From Saturday's Dally The feast of Corpus Chrlsti, which fell on June 8 this year, will be observed in a fitting manner tomor row at the Holy Rosary church at 1610 Pearl street. Special services will be .held in the morning and afternoon in commemoration of this crtat and impressive feast. Due to the clergymen's retreat at Lincoln last we-?k the Corpus Christi observance was postponed until to nal row, the pastor, Rev. Joseph R. Finkula being present at the retreat. The day will commence with two masses at 7 a. m. and 9 a. in. with special services held at the earlier mass. The young men's C. Y. O. will take part in this service by re ceiving corporal communion in a body as a part of the Father's day observance and Corpus Christi cele bration. The special religious ceremonies of this feast will be held at 4 p. m. Sunday at the church where the ser mons will be preached in both the Czech and English languages. The Rev.

The benediction will take place on the altars which are erected at these four homes. The pro cession will cover a distance of three blocks, the congregation and all pres ent following the Blessed Sacrament, which will be at the following homes of the parishioners, the newly-built James Holy, Sr. home, the Charles Vitousek residence, the John Svoboda residence at 1410 Main street, and the Joseph Kvapil home. A large number of clergymen from a dozen or more towns will be here for the occasion, including the priests from the Plattsmouth deanery and the Omaha diocese. "The Body of Christ Ms th trans lations of the Latin terms of 'Corpus Christi and the special observance of this feast is a custom that was orig inated in European countries where the people in their respective coun tries made it a special privilege to honor the Lord through the Blessed Sacrament. Many of the parishioners of the various churches in these countries offered their homes, where altars were erected and beautified, as places of worship in which to honor the Lord. The latter part of the nineteenth century was the time when the United States also took part in observing the feast in this manner. The custom was inaugurated in Plattsmouth in early 19', when Father Bartik, pastor of the Holy Rosary church during that time con ducted the services. At that time services were conducted in the John Janda home, now occupied by the members of the Zitka family; Frank Bila home, now occupied by Vincent Pilny, Jr.; Anton Kanka home, now occupied by the Frank Robbins fam ily; Charles Vitousek home; and the old Stastka homestead, now occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Kanka. Services of this kind were conduct ed in various long intervals but no annual practice was made to cele brate the event in this manner. Fath er Sinkula, present pastor , an nounced that the observance of the feast of Corpus Christi in this manner would become an annual religious affair in Tlattsmouth. Following the services a supper will be served on the church lawn by the ladies of the Altar society, and a social hour will be held during the evening. The Plattsmouth citizens are all invited to join and participate in the church services which will com mence at 4 p. m., as well as to attend the 5-uppcr and social features of the evening.
