Two Days Le*
To the Mam Dimes
*+ v
y
Armies of Nebraska mothers
will march through the streets of^
many state towns this week in an|
effort “to give an extra push” toj
the Infantile Paralysis campaign
which closes Saturday.
These mothers will make house,
to house solicitations, with the(
main effort scheduled for Thurs
day night to accept contributions
to the polio fight.
In the last week of the cam
paign, Stato Chairman Ted R.
Hughes of Seward praised the
complete support being given to
the polio drive by civic, farm and
patriotic organizations in Ne
braska. Hughes released the fol
lowing comments from heads of
these groups:
Dr. F. J. Osentowski, department
commander of Veterans of Foreign
Wars: “To me, the drive against
polio is .another war against de
stroyers of mankind. And like all
wars, the children—the innocent—
bear the brunt. Knowing the
spirit that still rests within the
hearts and minds of our overseas;
veterans, I can pledge you the ac
tive support of every member of
the Veterans of Foreign Wars.”
Wesley M. Antes, state leader of
4-H Clubs and Rural Youth: “In
Nebraska we have been especially
interested in this program (March
of Dimes) as a part of the 4-H
club community activities. Our
4-H boys and girls have a spe
cial stake in the fight against
polio since it is their age group
that this dreaded disease most
often strikes. In almost every
community a 4-H boy and girl
have been a victim of polio and
in numbers of instances aid has
been given by the Infantile Pa
ralysis Foundation.”
Vern Scofield, secretary of Ne
braska Press Association: “The
Nebraska Press Association feels
that this program is not only one
of the most worthwhile programs
but Is one of necessity to point up
the grave toll this dread disease
takes each year.”
H. C. Filley, master of Nebraska
State Grange: “As a result of re
search, many diseases affecting
man and farm animals have been
brought under control during the
past 60 years. Everyone who aids
in providing funds for/ polio re
search can feel that he will have
a part in finding a method of
controlling this dread disease.”
Clem O. Wimberly, president of
Nebraska County Agents Associa
tion: “There is no doubt in the
minds of any of the county agents
regarding the seriousness of polio
and the importance of this cam
paign. Certainly each member will
do all he can to improve and safe
guard the health of the people liv
ing in the county he serves.”
Lincoln General
Expects Large
Class in Sept.
Miss Thora K. Patterson, Direc-|
tor of Nurses, at the Lincoln Gen-|
eral Hospital, is busily engaged in
compiling a bulletin for the School
of Nursing.
Both Miss Patterson and Her
bert A. Anderson, Administrator,
are expecting a large class of
qualified students in September,
this is particularly so, since there
are no discriminatory practices at
;the school or in the hospital.
Miss Patterson, who came to
(Lincoln General in March, 1952,
from Mt. Sinai Hospital in Chi
cago, Illinois, feels that all quali
fied persons, ‘regardless of race,
creed or religion, are badly needed
i in the ever expanding field of
Nursing, Medicine and Research.
“Community needs are effi
ciently and capably met, only
when there is Unity and Co-opera
tion practiced in our hospitals, and
other public institutions,” contin
ues Miss Patterson.
All Students that are planning a
career in ^Nursing, are asked to
!send in applications as soon as
possible, because of the time taken

Employes
Become
Owners »
More and more companies have
been setting up plans whereby
employes can voluntarily buy
stock in the concern. This is
usually done under a payroll de
duction system. The money is held
by a trustee in individual accounts
for each participating employe.
In most cases, the majority of
eligible employes have taken part.
The merits of such plans, in the
view of those who have studied
them, is that they create closer
bonds of understanding between
employes and management, pro-^
vide a stimulus to more efficient
workmanship and management,
and serve as a springboard to a
deeper interest, appreciation and
comprehension of our private en
terprise system.
It is certainly true that a man
who is a shareowner in industry—
whether it be in the company for
which he works or others—will be
a firm foe of socialism, commu
Inism, or any other ism which
'would destroy free enterprise. He
will be a man with a personal in
terest in all the problems which
industry faces, including thos^of
political origin, taxation, labor,
etc. He will be a man who realizes
that his own future welfare is
directly tied up with the welfare
of business.
Furthermore, the steady in
crease that is taking place in the
number of shareowners in Amer
ican enterprise is bringing about a
form of true “public ownership”
which is in perfect accord with the
free enterprise system. It
strengthens all our freedom. It is
the antithesis of the political kind
of “public ownership” that comes
with socialism—a kind that ulti
mately destroys freedom, and re
duces the individual to serfdom.

Jim Dean Receives Award of
Appreciation for Service
...A
Retirement has come to the man
who was well and widely loved!
by Lincoln’s men of influence for.
more than half a century.
The man, 76-year-old James
Dean, 1018 Rose, was honored last|
week for 47 years of service to
the Lincoln Country Club. Going
to work in 1906 when the Coun
try Club was located at 7t,h and
, Washington, then moving to the
'present site at 24th and Woods
'dale, Jim, as he is familiarlj
known to all members, had beer
locker room manager.
Mr. Dean received a standing
ovation from the 275 members at
tending the annual meeting last
week when he was presented a
watch and leather bound printed
testimonial. On back of the watch
was inscribed “to Jim Dean in
appreciation of a half-century of
faithful service.”
“For more than half a century)
he has been aid, counsellor and
friend to three generations of us,”j
Lincoln Country Club President
Burnham Yates told club mem
bers.
Mr. Yates, also president of)
the First National Bank, pointed
out that “probably no man in Lin-'
coin’s history has known so many1
so well or been so widely loved.’’ f
The retirement and honor that
has come to James H. Dean gives I
the writer the opportunity to re
veal something of the character
of the man that has not been too1
well known.
To serve three generations of
Lincoln’s inlluential citizens for
47 years has required a rare per
sonality, No one will deny this.
Mr. Dean has had a rare op
portunity and he has taken full
advantage of it.
Visiting with Mr. Dean in his
home last week, and after viewing
the watch and the testimonial
Courtesy Lincoln Star
given him, I tried to point out
the influence for good that he has
been in the community. He would
have none of this line of reason
ing. With a shrug of his shoul
der, he said, “I haven’t done a
thing.”
However, the writer knows of
many instances that Mr. Dean has
performed services for the Ne
groes of the community because
he had the ear and respect ot
' Lincoln’s business, professional
i and civic leaders.
j In the first place the manner in
which he did his job has brought
j dignity and respect to the race.
I A word and suggestion to the —
right people has brought dona
tions of money, equipment and
i many useful items to the Urban
' League.
His recommendation for a job
opening always meant acceptance.
He has helped create a num
ber of jobs.
He has aided any number of
boys go to high school and col
lege by helping them get part
time and odd jobs.
He has secured many contribu
tions that helped boys and girls
go to summer camps.
He has secured many contribu
tions for his church and other
Negro churches in the community.
I could go on telling of the
good that he has done but they
all sum up to the fact that James
H. Dean has been a combination
preacher, teacher, social worker
and psychologist.
Above all Mr. Dean is a lover
of sports. For many years I have
been encountering him in his fa
vorite seat at Lincoln High and
Cornhusker football games and at
i Sherman Field.
I hope I see him at these fa
vorite haunts for many years to
come.
