Nebraska Society for Crippled Children Flooding the state mail this week are the now-tradional Easter seals, the sale of which from March 15 to April 9 pro vides funds for the Nebraska So ciety for Crippled Children to carry on its educational and re habilitation work for handicapped children. Working closely with the spe cial services division, State De partment of Education, new courses have been set up and special services provided by an increasing number of county com mittees. Harlan Adams of the University of Nebraska Extension Division, is conducting a series of training classes in corrective speech for teachers throughtout the state. These courses are subsidized by county committees of the Nebraska Society. Last semester he had classes in Ainsworth, Al liance, Bridgeport and Valentine. They are now in session, three hours each week, in Oshkosh, Kimball, Sidney and Wauneta. Teachers who converge at county centers from other nearby towns, receive university credits for this work. Handicapped children are also given corective speech train ing during the courses. Though no adequate survey has yet been attempted, there is suf ficient evidence that there are 45,000 handicapped persons in Nebxaska, according to S. Orson Perkins, executive secretary of the state society. W. O. Swanson, slate president, heads the Easter seal sale. Mrs. Ben H. Cowdery is chairman of the women’s committee. Increases 11.6 Percent Negro Pop illation Against 7.5 For Whites WASHINGTON. (ANP). The Negro population of this country has grown at a more rapid rate than the white population in the last ten years, according to fig ures released here last Wednes day by Dr. J. R. Houchins, census bureau specialist in Negro sta tistics. The figures show that between April, 1940, to April, 1947, the non-white population increased 11.6 percent against the white increase of 7.5 percent. In round figures, this increase is from 13, 454,405 to 15,017,000. Negroes make up nearly all the non white population, though Ameri can Indians and Asiatics are counted in the group. Another interesting set of fig ures revealed a greater relative improvement in the average in come or earnings of Negroes. From prewar 1939 to 1948 the median earnings of Negro males rose from $500 to $1,000 a year, while for whites it was from $1,200 to $2,000 a year. During the same period, non-white women received an increase from $200 to $700 agaist the $700 to $1,000 for white women. Lion Steals Man’s Lnneli CAPETOWN, South Africa. (ANP). An African guide in the Kurger game reserve here will carry a lunch basket with him from now on every time he goes out of bounds in the jungle. Last week, he was riding a bicycle through a section of the reserve, with a lunch tied to the seat of his vehicle. Suddenly a lion sprung out of brush patch and knocked him several feet from the scene of the “accident.” He looked up and saw the lion racing off 1 with his lunch. _ ^-WALK OVERS are at Wells & Frosts J The Talk of the town! | i i i i i i i i I Shoes for Men j | $795 i Sizes i'/z to 12 widths—A to D. ^ I I | A smart new spring style for young men—luggage tan color— | three rows of saddle stitching—LEATHER soles—a shoe you’ll I be proud to wear anyplace.

OLSON, Superintendent •TAT* ■ISTOIICAt SOCIBTT As the campaign of 1892 ap proached, the Republican party’s prospects were as dim in Nebraska as they had been since the state was admitted to the Union; the Populists were riding high, two years earlier the Democrats had elected a governor lor the first time in the history of the state, and the G.O.P. itself was badly split. What they needed, Nebraska’s Republican managers reasoned, was a candidate for governor who could unify the warring elements in the party and lead it to victory over the stiffest kind of opposi tion. They chose for the task Lorenzo Crounse, a territorial pioneer who had long been active in state politics and who at the time of his nomination was As sistant Secretary of the United States Treasury. How well they chose is demon strated by the fact that Mr. Crounse, in a torrid three-way battle, defeated two of the ablest and best known men in the State —Democrat J. Sterling Morton, and Populist Charles H. Van Wyck. Lorenzo Crounse was born at Sharon, New York, January 27, 1834, the youngest of seven sons in a German-Dutch family. His early career was typical of many of his contemporaries—a common school education, a couple of terms at college sandwiched in between teaching jobs, to help pay ex penses, the study of law, admis sion to the bar, and service in the Union Army. An infantry captain during the Civil War, young Crounse was wounded in battle and discharged from active duty. In 1864, he moved to Nebraska and settled at Rulo in Richardson County. He plunged immediately into politics and won election as a Republican to the territorial house of repre sentatives in that same year. He served two terms in the territorial legislature and was active in the campaign for Nebraska state hood. Once Nebraska was admitted to the Union, Crounse gained election to the first state supreme court. In 1872 he was elected as Nebraska’s Happenings in Omaha Churches The congregation at Cleave Temple enjoyed a wonderful ser mon by their pastor, the Rev. E. V. Wade. Music was furnished by the combined choirs. At 3 p. m. a civic program was sponsored by the Helping Hand club with Mrs. Rose Littlejohrf as chairman. Miss Mildred Brown of the Omaha Star, guest speaker, was introduced by Rev. Mr. Wade. She used as a subject, “The State of the City.” This was the first in a series of meetings to be held each Sunday afternoon to evaluate job opportunities on 24th Street. Mrs. Mildred Buxton, Omaha representative for THE VOICE, responded to the address. A solo by Mrs. H A. Simmons was among the highlights of the after noon program. You are always WELCOME to Cleaves Temple— to church friendly—to church lovely. Mrs. Pauline Hunt, re porter. CHURCH OF CHRIST ■ Held regular services Sunday with the Rev. T. O. McWilliams, jr., in charge. The pastor, Rev. Joseph Goodwin was taken to a representative in Congress—the state had only one then. He was re-elected in 1874, but declined to run in 1876 in order to Seek selec tion to the United States Senate, an effort in which he was unsuc- ! cessful. Two years later he was ap- . pointed internal revenue collector for Nebraska, and in 1891 he went to Washington as Assistant Sec retary of the Treasury. Governor Crounse was one of the state’s chief executives who helped to forge Nebraska’s repu tation for economy in government. His inaugural address charged the state with extravagance and urged that appropriations for state in stitutions be cut to the minimum, He reduced expenses in some in stances up to 50%, and refused an appropriation of $2,000 for rental of an executive mansion. Governor Crounse declined to be a candidate for re-election, re tiring to his Washington County farm. He was elected to the legis lature from Washington County in 1900 and again in 1901 made an unsuccessful try for the Senate. He died at Omaha, May 13, 1909. PARRISH MOTOR CO.

When you use the telephone sharingly—space your calls rea sonably—hang up the receiver carefully—the habit spreads. First thing you know, everyone on the line will be doing it— and better telephone service is bound to be the result. Try it on your party line and see.

Formerly there was no means provided for representation from the sopho more class. Now the representa tion will consist of one foreign student, two sophomores-at-lurge, two seniors-at-large, and 17 jun iors representing the various col leges. * * * The windstorm which swept through this area last Tuesday, is reported to have caused con siderable damage. Windows were blown out of some of the build ings, and the roofing was lifted off of some of the temporary buildings. The repair will involve quite a sum of money. Two or three students received minor in juries as a result of the storm, but there were no major injuries reported.
