According to the Senate Sub Committee on Health and Educa tion. which has just submitted an interim report, what the private plans have done in gi /ing the coun try what it ought to nave in the form of health attention amounts to the equivalent of hurling the smallest pebble you have ever You never know when one or more of these common ailments may come along and interfere with your work or pleasure. So be wise—have a plentiful supply of Alka-Seltzer on hand for the quick relief it offers. Just drop an Alka-Seltzer tablet or two m a glass oi water, let it fizz, then drink it. No shaking, no stirring, no trouble at all. At i all drug stores. seen into Lake Superior. For last year, the Sub-Commit tee found, only about 2.5 per cent of the national population has! what would be regarded as com-1 prehensive health insurance under I die private programs. Now 97.5 per cent of the population may not mean very much to some folks, such as some high-placed persons in the American Medical Associa tion and even in Congress. But in j a democracy, 97.5 per cent of the I population happens to be a fairly, onsiderable figure, worthy of per-j aps more than flicking attention i 'ram the powers that be. In the \ course of a year 97.5 percent of the population can roll up a lot of po tential illness and a lot of actual illness. Not only has increase in private plan membership been insufficient to date, the Sub-Committee, with forthright realism, believe that it can “never” meet the composite need. This is not unmitigated denunc iation of the private plans them selves, The Sub-Cimmittee has some kind words notably for the so-called Blue Cross system. But the very nature of even an ideal nrivate svstem would prevent it from achieving anything but a fragment of what an immense na tion with various conditions of pocketbook and various conditions of health must have. Congressional opponents of Gov ernment aid who prefer instead the unhampered expansion of a private system will have to totter up from the floor after the hay maker of this sentence in the re port: To seek such a system ap iher-Kelleher Ir.si ranee Agency | ie-*- --'ate.

There is, obviously, only one answer. It is the answer we have applied in many problems that have had us flabbergasted as a na tion. And that answer is to do to gether, through our Government, what cannot be done by groups and individuals for the entire coun try. The report calls for “requir ed contributions to the social-secur ity fund and payments from gen eral tax revenues”. In other words, because the people who need the service aren't always in a position to afford it, the differ ence will have to come from the employers and the generally bet ter-heeled citizens, but each white collar or industrial worker or far mer will buy a fair share. If that sends up screams of soc- | ialism, barbarism, cannabalism. it | wi’l be a familiar crv. Much of the blocking of progress hasn't made much sense before. And it wont about health insurance. The report well notes, ‘The stand pat ters fifteen years ago were label ing even voluntary systems. “Soc i ialized medicine’ ”, The tide of .ne people’s improvement will not be staved. It is a glaring dis grace that we already do not have a more inclusive health program in the nation. The Sub-Committee's definition of what constitutes comprehensive coverage Is at least doctor's care in home, office, and hospital, and normal hosnital care. Is that un fair, Mr. Citizen? OFFICE OF PRICE ADMIN'TION ANNOUNCES NEW PRICES Beer sold for consumption on the premises in bars, taverns, re staurants and hotels is still under price control, the Office of Price Administration pointed out this week in granting a ceiling price increase of one cent for a glass or small bottle and two cents for a large bottle. The increases be came effective August 16, 1946. The one cent increase is for draught beer in glasses of eight ounces or larger, and on seven to ; 12 ounce bottles or cans. A two j cent increase has been granted for 32 ounce bottles. These amounts may be added to the seller’s ex isting April 4-10, 1943, freeze ceiling prices. Ceiling prices in the Dallas and Atlanta regions, that are set at dollar and cent amounts | for the areas, are being revised at once by the regional offices to allow the same increases. The reasons for this action, OPA explained, is that those drinking establishments that depend almost entirely on beer sales are suffer ing hardship because (1) the lim ited available supplies of beer are preventing them from maintain ing normal, sales; (2) ceiling pri ces of brewers were increased re cently; and (3) a recent increase in freight rates is being passed on 1 to them. Coffee, breakfast staple of the tables or rich and poor, has been increased from ten to 13 cents a pound in retail ceiling pricces the Office announced this week. | • Read The Greater OMAHA GUIDE j "oh mournful bell../" ONE WOMAN SHOW ARTIST Lou Sw.il 2 NEW YORK—By Gladys Gra ham—.Tall, lucious Lou Swarz who now ties Sealia in the middle to differentiate herself from the opposite sex by name, has stepped into a new Prof. Role that of ’Em Cee and really makes her audi ence like it.

Tan and Terrific” All Star Coiored Musical Drama to be shown at Town Theatre’s Mid-Nite Show, Saturday, Sept. 7th. Mantan Moreland Zoomed To 1 op as Screen Comic Mantan Moreland, star of “Tall, Tan and Terrific”, coming to the Town Theatre on Saturday Mid Nite Show, is no newcomer to the silver screen. He started his mo tion career back in 1938, when he wenl to Hollywood to play a fea tured role opposite Joe Louis in “Spirit of Youth”. Since then he has had top roles in scores of Hol lywood films and is now a past master at the art of motion pic tu e make-believe. Mantan has his best role to date in “Tall, Tan and Terrific.” the part of a night club entertainer who saves his boss from a framed up jail sentence. In addition to pre renting several of the type come 'y characterizations which have zoomed him to the top, Mantan is the central figure in the suspense ful story of the innocent man, iailed for the crime of another. More than eight months in produc , tion, the film was designed to give the comedian every opportunity to score heavily and Mantan takes full advantage of his opportunity In addition, the many colorful pro duction numbers, and the singing | of Francine Everette, leading lady of the film, make it one of the most important pictures ever to star the I great comedian. Before embarking on his screen ! career, Mantan acnieved great pop ularity as a song and dance man on the New York stage, scoring in such top-flight hits as "Blackbirds of 1928,” “Singing The Blues,’, ' “Shuffle Along” and similar revu es. Since registering in the Joe Louis film, Mantan has confined j his activities principally to the' screen, and “Tall, Tan and Terrif ic” is the climax of the career of this great negro comedian. The film was produced and directed by Bud Pollard for Astor Pictures from an original screen story by John E. Gordon. • WATCH for The GLIDES Cameraman!
