-(by DORIS AM McGILL)
Greetings Gaits! Again Chatterbox

Boom!! So B. O. Plenty and Mr.
Dacy have turned their tables and it
looks like G. C. has too!
Zip-zing-zany!! Went to the big hop
given by the Softball Bobcats Team.
Nice going if 1 must say so myself!!
What is C. B. trying to do for her
self?? I'll bet it’s going to be a big
surprise when she finds out none of
her friends mean her no good. Hey
Barnyard!!!
Back. .Muggs Burton is back look
ing the same. Good deal kid. because
Johnnie is her name!
Hubba! Hubba!. .Wonder why a cer
tain Bobby B. stayed in a certain ph.

(Strange )
Happy Birthday of the month..Na
dine Manley also sister Charlotte.
Cover Girl. .Mary Carter; her hobbies
sewing, singing and dancing. She is

POME..I’ll bet when you first be
gan to read this you thought that it
was a poem. Isn’t it funny how peo
ple go on reading anyway when they
know they are being fooled??
Wonder. .Wonder why little Push is
walking around in a soldiers hat and
dress jacket and after the way he
tried so hard to get out? You know

ELECTRICAL COUNCIL TO
HAVE SALES COURSE
To enable the electrical industry to
better serve the public, the Nebraska
Iowa Electrical Council recently an
nounced a basic sales training course.
The training provided will fill a vital
need in reawakening good salesman
ship designed to completely serve the
public interests and promote better
public relations.
The necessity of such training at this
time is obfious because operation dur
ing the past few years was limited to
I uemaiiu uuyuig, wun a consequent loss
of good sales and merchandising ha
bits. All people in the electrical indu
stry have been invited to participate.
The subject matter is talor-made for
the electrical industry and covers ba
sic buying decisions and motives.
Sound and discussion films used in
the course were prepared by the Voca
film Corporation, who, during the war
j years played an important role in pre
| paring visual training material for the
, Navy. As a result of this broad experi
, ence, the text material and films for
the sales training course is based on
the latest techniques for mass train
ing.
The course is made available for the
cost of material only. Preliminary re
gistrations indicate that 150 to 200
persons will be enrolled for the open
ing sessions starting May 6th. To de
rive maximum results from discussion,
classes will be limited to twenty train
ees. Separate classes for retailers, con
tractors, wholesalers, and manufactur
ers will be held to accomodate all peo
ple. Leadership for the classes is being
drawn from the best local talent.

INTERVIEW
24th and Charles:
Ques: “Mr. Wbachaname, do you be
lieve that the FEPC legislation is
workable?”
Ans: “Yes, if properly handled”.
Ques: “By properly handled, you
mean.... ?”
Ans: “Well legislation of this sort
can't be handled... .say like traffic
laws, for example, because it is deal
ing with anotner side of human nat
ure”.
Ques: “Just how in your opinion,
could it be worked, to be successful
with the other side of human nature?”
Ans: “The average human being, not
including Bilbo and his likes, has no
inborn desire to be unjust toward his
fellowman. This same human being is
-affected by customs, traditions and
precedents. The FEPC offers an ave
nue to by-pass the custom of race and
color restrictions in employment, that
are practiced more because of prece
dent than genuine hate or prejudice.
In addition there is the big education
al task o eliminating the feeling of
mutual uneasiness and unfounded dis
trust whch grows out of not knowing
and therefore not appreciating the
good merits of the other fellow.
Al says: “That is one man’s opinion.
Read the May 3rd American Magazine
for another man’s opinion”.

Say Neighbor
Say Neighbor, did you notice that
editorial about the Carver Loan Assn.
I sort of liked it, because it brought
out something I’ve been thinking but
couldn’t express in words. Capital and
Labor is the bulwark of present day
civilization. eW have labor in abun
dance, but are on the short end of
capital. It takes more than a hundred
thousand dollars to make a poor or
dinary everyday man of leisure... .so
, to be PRACTICAL... .We can well
afford to encourage the investment and
circulation of capital within our com
munity. ...

SHORT STORY
24th Street Retreat:—
“We’ve known each other for only
a few seconds, but we are not stran
gers.. I don’t know why, nor where,
but in spite of your beauty..you too,
have experienced disappointment in
love, the same as I”.
She smiled with a mixture of sym
pathy and understanding as the vari
colored rays of the neons silhouetted
her features against the mural back
drop. “Yes. perhaps we are children of
despair..of another world, living by
the seconds, instead of hours; but
since we are detained in this one,...
well, we are bound to observe its cu
stoms.” “But we are in our own world
now”, he pleaded. “We might never
meet again, .though our sorrows are
alike; they will probably lead us to
distantly separated places”. “That is
perhaps even more truer than you
would think”, she said as she permit
ted him to caress her hand fleetingly
as she prepared to take leave. You
see she continued, “The War has off
ered strenuous competition to my love
life, irst he was in Maryland, then in
Florida, then Arizona and finally,
across the seven seas. But now with
it all over I am going to California
to meet and marry him.”

HATE
That man Bilbo: Whose artistry in
the dispensation of Race and Color,
Hate has seldom been equalled. Don’t
try to laff him off. The poison he uses
is too potent. Dispite the undemocra
tic methods used by he and his ass
ociates to spread hate, their conten
tions are not too often effectively chal
lenged. Why can’t the fillibustering
be stopped? Bilbo and his clan picks
out all of the disadvantages and faults
which are brought about by segrega
tion and converts them into argument
against legislation intended to elimin
ate these disadvantages. Top that if
you can.
This state can contribute much to
the nation by injecting a good dose of
Nebraska governmental philosophy in
to federal affairs. Gov. Dwight Gris
wold declared Sunday.
Pointing out that Nebraska has the
lowest per capita state tax rate in the
nation, the Governor said our state has
still been able to develop such pro
grams as soil conservation and weed
eradication without “hiring vast num
bers of governmental workers and with
out running our costs up to the sky”.
“Five years ago”, Griswold said, “we
had 21 soil conservation districts here
in Nebraska covering 2% milion acres
and today we have 71 districts cover
ing 30 million acres.
“In 1940, we had 16 weed eradica^
tion districts covering a million and a
half acres. Today, we have 50 districts
covering almost 10% million acres and
6% million additional acres are now
being organized.
“These are important thinge for out
agricultural state and we have beer
able to expand them and still keep oui
i percapita tax rate the lowest in the na
tion”.

FUTURE COMPLICATIONS
FOR BIG FOUR
NEW YORK., -Soundphoto—W’hile
the Big Four conferences, in Paris face
many difficult problems involving trea
ties and claims and boundaries, the
Turkish situation presents future com
plications. In the dark areas shown
are the buffer states of the Near and
Middle Eeast. Here the strategic and
economic interest of Russia and the
western powers meet. Russia’s claims
on Turkey are considered by many to
be filled with possible dynamite. The
Iranian troubles have already become
familiar to the UN and the British
interest in the affairs of Greece also
have befen widely front paged. Control
of the Dardaneles is a vital issue and
Russia has sought to press claims on
Turkey’s eastern frontier. Arrows on
the map show how use of the Straits
cuts 3,000 miles from the supply line
to Russia.
