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. _

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.

Cooperation also
pays on the
telephone
party line
There’s a rich "pay-off” for cooperation on the telephone party
line—that "pay off” is better telephone service.
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. You’ll be delighted with the
difference it makes in your service.

Last week the University Sym
phony orchestra presented a con
cert which featured works by

music committee and the School
of Fine Arts.

The Student Council has passed
a resolution that the sophomore
class wili have two representa
tives on the council. 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.

Chocolate Fudge
Cut or break two 1-ounce squares un
sweetened chocolate in pieces; add •)
cup evaporated milk, 2 cups sugar and 1
tablespoon light co»-n syrup. Cook over
low heat, stirring till sugar dissolves and
chocolate is melted. Heat to boiling: cover
and cook 3 minutes. Steam in covered pan
will help wash down crystals on sides of

a grainy candy.) Uncover and cook to
soft-ball stage (236’), stirring the mix
ture frequently.
Remove from heat. Add 2 tablespoons
butter and cool to lukewarm 110°) with

temperature, it will he grainy. You can
cool mixure more quickly by setting pan
in ice water. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla when
mixture’s cool.
Beat vigorously till candy is thick and
loses its gloss. (Place pan on a pot holder
so it won't slip.) Quickiy spread in greased
pan. (Cut in squares. Top each square
