Lilerary Column What does Easter mean to you Stately church with cushioned pew, Where, Lenten season gone at last And days of self-denial past, Richly-clad, devoted throngs Of worshipers unite in songs Of praise in lily-scented air? Is this what makes your Easter fair Does it mean the end of winter’s reign, Bright skies and welcome warmth again, Singing of the birds, budding of the trees, Sweet spring odors on the breeze From daffodil and crocus bed And balsam branches overhead? Sad is the world and cold and gray If this is all of Easter Day. But if this blessed season brings, A firmer faith in holy things; Assurance of a living Lord; A strengthening of the tender chord Of love that binds us to the life to come Where loved ones ’wait us in the heavenly home, No pain or loss can e'er efface the bliss, Dear friend of Easter, when it means all this. —May Ricker Conard Si Si Si Ti Si Tl Tl Tl tl tv T' S'! tv T' "T\—TV ft Vi M “ft BEAUTY and FASHION HINTS Ann Watson Smitherman . Problems in Make up We square face should select the type of make up that will de tract the width of the jaw line, and accent height and width at right angles. The hair is dressed with height at the center front, I while the width at each side is at right angles from the eye brow line. Hair dressed softly on top will prevent the mascu line appearance so often associ ated with the square featured woman. Place cheek rouge in a circle under the eye and shade it to ward the ear and jaw line. Ap ply a dark foundati oncream and powder to the square jaw and gradually blend in a lighter shade for the rest of the face. Arch the eyebrows slightly. Apply lip rouge in a graceful curve to the lip line, and make the mouth slightly wide. -o GRAND ISLAND NEWS Reporter: Gerald E.

The cur rent battle between Rickey and Larry MacPhail, for instance is not just an ordinary brawl, nor is it simply because MacPhail allegedly sat with two well known gamblers during an ex hibition game here between Brooklyn and the Yanks. It is no secret in the major league front offices across the country that MacPhail is against the Rickey-Robinson plan. MacPhail who makes thousands of dollars off Negro baseball each year, and whose club is well patronized by the forgiving people of Harlem, can’t stomach the thought of the lily-white color-line in baseball being broken—That is one of the reasons he’s at swords ends with Rickey right now. He’d like to get the Brooklyn owner heaved out of baseball if possible. And not only that—but he has a lot of colleagues in the majors going along with him. MacPhail is the leader of the faction that objects to turning the “Great American Game” into just that... He is big and power ful in baseball and capable of leading such a vicious group ... Not only does he have certain high executives in baseball “go ing along with him” but also many of the influential writers of what Americans like to call “our free and liberal press”... Yes, there are newspaper men, baseball officials and even um pires who would like to see Rickey’s plans for Robinson go asunder. m For Better Values s' • Drugs • Cosmetics • Stationery • Candy • Prescriptions CHEAPPER DRUGS 1325 O St. Lincoln # Back Again I SHEETS ^7 Pacific "Truth" Brand Sheets 72x108_$2.29 8x108 $2.50 90x108_2.75 Pillow Cases: 45x36 .55c ea.
