In keeping with its announced pur pose to provide funds for child wel fare services, the Jumble Shop, spon sored by the Nebraska Society of Col onial Dames, has “come to the rescue of Omaha's day nursery program. Although to be fewer in number, child care centers to operate during the three summer months will contin ue to provide what has become to be recognized as a vitally needed service. These centers will be located at Jack son and Central grade schools and af ford sympathetic care and supervision of children of working mothers who have no other means of care. According to the Family Service or ganization of Omaha, an agency of the Community Chest, which screens ap plications of mothers wishing child care centers’ servee, there are num erous circumstances wherein it is im perative that a mother work. But only after thorough screening of each case and after all other means are exhau sted are the applications approved. Applications are screened under these divisions and the percentages of mothers presently classified in each are as follows: Mothers who are the sole support, 47 per cent. W ives of service men sup plementing government allotments, 12 per cent. Cases where it is necessary for the wife to supplement husbands’ wages which are less than required for the minimum family budget, 41 per cent. Under the plan, each mother pays $4.75 a week for the day nursery pri vileges. The Jumble school board has approved the continuance of the prog ram, which was an outgrowth of the early war years. The School district provides only the building space, equip ment and utilities. A recommendation of its subcommit tee that the centers were needed and should be continued was accepted re cently by the board of directors of the Community Welfare Council, another Red Feather agency of the Community Chest. The recommendation was forwarded, to the Chest’s budget committee which felt that in view of other commitments it could not recommend to the Chest board that funds be made available to continue the project. The Welfare Council’s board, how ever, reaffirmed its belief that the child care center projects should be con tinued if at all possible, even if on a further reduced scale, because of the continued need. A committee was au thorized to contact the Jumble Shop, Family Service and the board of edu cation. With the Jumble Shop agreeing to finance the program, arrangements were completed to continue the care ful administration of the project dur ing the summer months just as it has been in the past. — SWARTZ Plumbing & Furnace SUPPLIES Largest Stock in the City LOWEST PRICES — — PROMPT SERVICE • Guttering & Spouting—Solti and Installed • Complete Toilet Outfits • Chrome Faucets—all kinds • Everything in Plumbing • Coal—Gas—Oil Furnaces Repaired & Installed • Blowers • Shower Cabinets Complete -PLACE YOUR ORDER NOW! “Let SWARZ Furnace Your Home” 1 Swartz Furnace . & Supply Co. | 2415 Cuming St. AT 2835 ( I MEMBERS OF BOYS TOWN GRADEATING CLASS Here are members of the Boys Town senior class who will be graduated at commencement exercises June 2.

Smith — MRS CHARLES SCHIMMEL DECEASED The employees who follow hotel work and have been employed by the different hotels and clubs in Omaha for many years, extend sympathy to the Schimmel family, as they have at all times showed their very high appreciation to colored employees and kept the standard of fair pay. All du ring the depression they did not cut wages and paid extra help a living wage. In Nebraska the Blackstone hotel in Omaha and the Cornhusker hotel in Lincoln, are under Schimmel direction The Waiters Key Club will at ail times extend a welcome to the public for a quiet afternoon and evening of pleasure. _ The R R boys are serving with a smile on wheels at all times. Fontenelle hotel waiters very much out in front on service to all guests and their friends. Omaha Club waiters with Capt. Earl Jones, on the up and go on the service. Paxton hotel waiters and rapid stepping crew topping off the service constantly. Omaha Athletic Club and headwai ter and "booted’ crew improving on service. Regis hotel and White Horse Ini. waiters many years in that mess. Waiters at the Hill hotel on the up and go on service. \ote for C. C. Galloway for State Senator! LT. GOV. ROY W. JOHISSOH SUMNER. NEBR. CANDIDATE FOR REFLECTION ON RE PUB. TICKET Roy W. Johnson was bom. raised, and educated in Nebraska. Has lived all his life in Central Nebraska. He is a successful farmer and stockman of Dawson County, serving in the First Unicameral Legislature, is serving his second term as Lieutenant Governor, as President of the Legislature and has made many friends. In presiding he has been firm, but courteous which has made it possible for him to have the best order on the floor of the Leg islature. ' , The fine cooperation made it poss ible for the Legislature to make five records for themselves that have never been accomplished before in a regular session: 1. Fewer bills presented. 2. A greater percentage of presen ted bills passed. 3. All bills that came out of the committees and placed on general file received consideration on the floor. In former sessions many bills on general file were indefinitely postponed by a single motion in the last days of the session. In the 1945 session, all files were cleared. 4. The 1945 session was the least ex pensive of any regular session, even in the face of the Tiigh cost of printing clerk wage increase and supply costs. 5: The shortest session of any Uni cameral Legislature. Mr. Johnson does not participate in the Legislation, other than being the presiding officer and has seen that the rules as set up by the Legislature and the Constitution of Nebraska are car ried out. When called upon to act as Governor of the State, he has only taken care of such business as is of an emergency nature, which has al ways met with the approval of the Governor. Mr. Johnson would appreciate your support in his reelection. He has served you well. j J You are probably having aj much trouble getting canning sugar this season as I am. Whal little sugar I have had to spare I’ve used in making jells. Tlu * other day as I poured paraffin wax over the top of a jar, I began thinking what an- important role this product plays in conserving food. -— — Waxed paper, especially, is an indispensable kitchen helper. And do you know that waxed paper is made by a process in which thin sheets of paper are dipped in melted paraffin similar to that which you and I use on top of jams and jellies? When we wrap foods in waxed paper, we are assured of freshness in all our foods — just as the paraffin preserves and pro tects our jells. We housewives can make waxed paper do a double job in our homes. By reclosing our bread wrappers, cereals, crackers and other foods in their original waxed paper wrappings — and by using waxed paper to keep left-over"; fresh — such as sandwiches, meats, j fruits and vegetables — we are saving food and money for our selves. Ard we are helping to j release more food ta feed the starving people of Europ?, as well. One alert housewife nude the remark that, “Waxed paper pays for itself in the food it saves.” . And, I believe, if we think about It, we will all agree with her. The roll of waxed paper in your kitchen, for example, saves you many dollars’ worth of food that would ordinarily spoil without this jrotectlon. No wonder housewivesi fay, “Waxed paper pays for itself.” KEEP KELSO MORGAN YOUR J County Attorney (.POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENT) .. The two scenes here show what can be done with wallpaper at small cost to improve the appearance of the typ-1 ical small apartment without any arch itectural changes. With good taste and a few dollars a drab, uninteresting apartment becomes a bright and che ery home. The apartment shown here is typical of thousands throughout the 4'.tf, which can be made more live table by the same type of wall treat ment. A blue and white leaf-pattern united wallpaper was the starting point. New draperies, slipcovers, two new lamps, and a change in chaiis and I tables in front of the window comple ted the transformation. “Doing over"' th3 pla33, one room at a time, is an | exciting project in which the whole fa mily can take a lively interest.

That way there is less w’aste, and, as the Famine Emergency Committee says, we can spare the equivalent of six million loaves a day to send to the hungry children abroad if every American saves only a single slice a day.
