SUBSCRIBE NOW!_ 25c OUT OF EVERY DOLLAR NEBRASKA POWER RECEIVES Nebraska Power is Omaha's biggest taxpayer. One fourth of the Company's annual revenue now goes for taxes that the people would have to pay if Nebraska Power didn't. In 1943, Nebraska Power's total tax bill, local and federal, will amount to $2,500,000. Every dollar of this money is vitally needed not only to help maintain the city's schools, streets, fire and police departments and other necessary activities, but also to help supply our armed forces with the equipment they must have to win the war. Our customers know that practically everything costs more these days, and they appreciate the fact that our experienced business management has been able to keep electric rates as low as ever ... even though the Company's taxes have jumped more than 57% since 1940 and our cost of doing business has tremen dously increased. These are among the many reasons so many citizens feel that Omaha should KEEP the experienced busi ness management that made this record possible. There is no reason to gamble Nebraska Power's fine service, low rates and good, tax-paying citizenship for the uncertainties of political management NEBRASKA POWER COMPANY Does NOT have to sell - Does NOT want to sell!

CIO HOLDS WAR EFFORT RALLY Remember Pearl Harbor Day is more than a slogan to American workers. December 7th will ie main a page in our history' book as a day of the most dastardly attack upon our nation by the Japs. Two years have elapsed since our nation was struck by the mir ror of war. Many well meaning Americans today are too optimis tic in regard to the winning of the war. The attitude of thousands of American workers is that the war is already won. This false optim ism is dangerous. The CIO nation ally and locally does not harbor these ideas. Various CIO conventions have pledged and reiterated their pledg es on no strikes for the duration. The CIO program throughout the country is to awaken the workers as to the necessity of a stronger, fuller war effort. On December 7th at 7:30 pm. at the City Auditorium, Omaha work ers met to hear a program sponsor ed by the CIO Council of Omaha !n cooperation with the Public Rela tion: Department of the V. S. Army.
