To Democratic Restaurants Recently the Restaurant com mittee of the Lincoln Social Ac tion Council sent out letters to a number of local restaurants com mending them for complying with the State law which requires all places of public accommodation, such as restaurants, inns, theaters, barbershops, etc., to give equal service- to aH* races and creeds. (20-101, 20-102, RS 1943) I think this is a fine gesture, to let these businessmen w-ho help real democ racy to work here know that their stand is appreciated by many, many people, especially when so many others defy this policy of the State. In case anyone has for gotten, the Council is made up of representatives from the Urban League, The NAACP, Uni YMCA, Uni YWCA, Ministers and Coun 4 cil of Church women's social Ac tion committee, and several Stu dent foundations.

In old Nebraska, though, the fishing was fine—and with benefit of limits, hatcheries and closed seasons. Many of the diaries kept by ex plorers, soldiers, traders and emi grants tell of days spent fishing in Nebraska’s streams. It was a favorite amusement on Sundays, and at all other times when rest rather than travel was the order of the day. But for those early Nebraskans, fishing was much more than amusement. It was a means of se curing fresh food, and providing a welcome supplement to the standard diet of bacon, beans and coffee. On military expeditions, soldiers frequently were assigned to a fishing detail; and the Mor mons organized committees to fish the rivers to provide food for the destitute. t Considerable ingenuity was used In catching fish. The seine was a favorite device, although scoops and baskets also were used. The story is told of a group of trappers who, having gone some time without food, found a large safety pin in one of their blan kets. They quickly bent the pin into a hook and braided a line of hair taken from the horses’ tails, with the result that they soon had a pan full of fresh fish, plus an additional supply for future use. Probably one of the first fish stories to come out of Nebraska is that recorded in the journal of Lewis and Clark who ascended the Missouri river in 1804. On Aug. 15, at a camp just north of the Omaha village, they dragged a small creek dammed by beaver, catching “318 fish of different Latest Records at STANCE'S RECORD SHOP 1»5I Vine St. Pb.ne SHOE REPAIR "STORKY'S" 131 N. 12th - The First National Bank of Lincoln I 10th A “O” SL Member F.D.LC. _ l| Letters To The Editors Awnymott* IHtm will ml lx> puh tiiM, however, writers may nr a pen naane If they desire pmvided that full Mwn and address Is Included for oar Information.
