The primary will be held April 8th. Other candidates that have filed are: Arthur Weaver, present council member, Thomas Pansing, John Quinn, and Lester DeBrown. Klein, who resides at 1245 New Hampshire, issued the following statement at the time of his fil ing: “Public statements, especially those of self aggrandizement, have always beep repugnant to my nature. However, certain declarations of truth are ever in order, hence I submit the follow ing personal informative facts as a premise from which I shall as pire to the office of City Council man, representing those many elements of our citizenry so sorely in need of a voice in city man agement. I am not retired and seeking a part-time plaything for my in activity, but on the other hand very much employed as are many other good citizens who are still useful in this community. I have not been a “joiner” and submit no “cliques”, “clans”, lodges, or religious organizations as a pull for votes. I own no farms on the installment plan, but do own a very modest and congenial home in Lincoln and earnestly desire to make its en vironment, as well as all other such homes, ever more pleasur able and enjoyable for mine and those to follow. I earnestly invite those who will join me in this program of progress, to watch closely the political machinations of this coming campaign. I have no gravel, cement, liquor bond6, automobiles, or any other trading stock for sale—and I only solicit the patronage of such voters whc will accept good city government as their full reward for theii support in this coming campaign.’ Signed Bob Klein BEAUTY and FASHION HINTS Ann Watson Smitherman Make-Up Certain types of faces require certain types of make-up—The color of the skin, the shape of the face, eyes, lips and nose, de termine the type of make-up you should use. The shade of face powder selected should blend with the underlying skin tone. Never use a face powder darker than the foundation cream. For a fair complexion (a skin having a decidedly pink or white cast)use a ooyder having a peachy tone. x For a medium complexion (a skin which is neither light nor dark and seldom has a pink cast) use a peachy powder or rachel with a rosy tint. For a dark complexion use a faintest tinge of pink. For a sunburned complexion use a powder with an ochre tint. (Continued next week) -o Veterans Administration Release (Continued from page 1) out foundation and the VA office in Kansas City is asking Nebraska veterans to ‘please lay off with the messages’.” Westmoreland explained that subsistence checks are mailed from the U. S. Treasury disburs ing office at Kansas City but that the office only completes the mechanical routine of writ ing the checks and is in no posi tion to reply to a flood of in quiries. Nebraska veterans whose sub sistence checks are unaccount ably delayed should make in quiry through the VA’s local contact office or WTite to the Veterans Administration Re gional Office, Lincoln. Westmoreland said reports reaching his office from Lincoln indicate that the overwhelming majority of veterans attending colleges are receiving their sub sistence checks promptly. Some difficulty, however is still being experienced by the VA in the transmission of checks to on-the job trainees. Chief among the causes for de layed subsistence checks are these: 1. The VA fails to receive from the veteran’s school or on-the job employer the papers neces sary to issue the check. 2. The veteran himself fails to notify the VA of a change in address. Government checks cannot be forwarded from one address to another without directions in writing from the payee. 3. The VA fails to receive from the veteran a prompt return of his '“earnings report”—VA Form 1963. Westmoreland urged veterans to submit earn ings report promptly when re quested to do so by the VA but not to submit such reports until requested to do so.
