    ‘STINK CREEK’ WILL
FLOW NO MORE
“Stink Creek" will flow no
more if Omaha voters decide at
the November 5 election in favor
of a bond issue of J2.090.000 to
renovate the city’s deteriorating
sewage system.
One of the top features of the
project, which is one of 14 de
signed to boost Omaha into the
category of progressive cities, will
be the correction of the So. Oma
ha sewage ditch running directly
through the stockyards adjacent
to the packiag plants.

j in that neighborhood long ago
l nicknamed this sewer “Stink
, Creek”.
E. F. (Gene) Agee, general
chairman of the city-wide im
provement projects, said that at
least two industrial plants could
be located in this area if it were
not for the open ditch.
Of the 85 sewer projects listed
as “urgent” by the city-wide im
provement plan committee, three
have been deemed of immediate
importance in addition to the So.
Omaha ditch.
Included in this category is re
contruction of the Burt Street
sewer between 28th and 30th Sts;
a southwest Benson outlet storm
sewer from 66 and Blondo Sts. to
72 and Webster Sts., hence south
I on 72 St. to Mayberry Ave; a deep
sanitary and storm sewer on 16
St., from the alley south of Dodge
St. north to Capitol Ave., thence
east to 12 St., thence north to
Chicago St., to relieve overloaded
■ downtown sewers.
! “Other sanitation projects which
need attention and can be carried
on as a part of the general en
gineering survey include a thor
ough study of smoke abatement,
a continuous program to remove
weeds and trash in vacant lots,
a house to house trash collection
service, and a general overall sur
vey to determine additional re
quirements to improve and safe
guard health conditions in the
city”, said Mr. Agee.
Other projects in the city-wide
improvement plan to be voted up
on are civic center; public mar
ket; police stations; fire stations;
airports; river-rail terminal and
water transportation: streets! bou
levards and taffic signals; parks,
playgrounds, and recreation; park
ing; naval armory; auditorium;
municipal garages; and grade
crossings.
In addition, there will he two
ballots calling for the creation of
special non-partisan commissions
to see that the important features
of the improvement program are
carried out as planned.
Mr. Agee suggested that each
voter make it a point to vote in
favor of those projects in which
he is personally interested.
At the same time the general
chairman urged voters to visit the
polls early in the day because of
the great number of ballots to be
marked.
"The slogan of the city?wide im
provement plan has been ‘Omaha’s
Vision is Your Decision’, Mr.
Agee pointed out. "This means
that every citizen who is interest
ed in a vigorous, progressive Om
aha and who desires to live in a
forward-looking pleasant com
munity has a date with a polling
booth November 5”.

Electrical Technician Tells How
To Banish Those Wash Day Blues
, By Jane Baird
National Adequate Wiring Bureau
There’s no such thing as a workless wash day, but there are factors
that make washing so much easier and pleasanter that those Monday
UiUCS LcUJ ue UdIllMICU lUICVCl. <
One tried-and-true remedy is
an attractively decorated, effi
ciently designed laundry room
equipped with a washer, drier,
ironer and hand iron. To com
plete the cure, add plenty of the
right kind of light over strategic
; work areas and provide enough
electric current to make all these
timesavers operate as efficiently
I as their designers intended.
Making the laundry a better
place to work in starts first of all
i with the wiring. The number and
size of circuits are important, as
well as the placement of con
l venience. or plug-in, outlets and
switches. You’ll never get really
efficient service from your lights
»
ter and one over the ironing cen
ter, with a wall switch to control -
at least one of these lights. Con
venience and special outlets
should be installed for all present
ly owned or contemplated addi
tions to equipment—washer, hand
iron, ironer, drier, hotplate, ven
tilating fan, water heater.
Second, enough of the right
kind of circuits insures top per
formance of electrical equipment,
so check your circuits (an elec
trical contractor or power com
pany representative can help
you) to make certain they are
large enough to carry all the cur
rent needed by your lighting and
appliances.
According to the' wiring ex
perts, you should have one extra
Monday in the laundry when the wiring's hep
ana appliances, electrical special
ists emphasize, if the wire in the
circuits is inadequate. So, if you
intend to build a new home, or
simply remodel or redecorate
your present one, plan for ade
quate laundry wiring — it helps
■ electricity to help you.
Here’s how to go about it:
First of all, check the lbcatron
of your convenience outlets, lights
and switches to make sure you
have plenty of light and plug-in
facilities available when and
where you need them. As an ab
solute minimum, the wiring ex
perts recommend one ceiling or
wall light over the washing c#n
large (20-ampere) circuit for ef
ficient operation of laundry ap
pliances. The lights may be served
by a smaller 15-ampere circuit,
which supplies electricity for
lighting in other rooms as well.
Some appliances require indi
vidual circuits—to insure plenty
of uninterrupted current. These
include the new automatic wash
ers, driers and electric water
heaters. If any such appliances
are planned for the future, it’s a
good idea to install spare circuits
for this equipment while other
electrical work is being carried
out This will avoid greater ex
pense and inconvenience later on.

Althouse Beauty
School News
By Jewel Palmer
Orchids to Odessa Hudson, girl
of the week at Althouse School.
Hudson is the wife of a re-enlist
ed man. Like many war-wives she
punched the time clock every day
until V-J Day. When her service
was no longer needed, she decided
to do something about her imme
diate future, so she entered the
field of beauty culture.
Hudson has really applied her
self. Whether acquired or natural,
she has a tendency to hair dress
ing and hair styling and I predict
she will go places in this field.
Just think how proud her hus
band must be.
What we need is more girls
like Hudson.
SPEECH
CULTURE
BY BEATRICE L. MORGAN
LESSON Number 4:
One of the most important fac
tors to remember in learning to
speak well is to cultivate a pleas
ing voice, for most people have
two voices. One pleasing and easy
in conversation, the other harsh
and unnatural. Just as the most
beautiful voice sounds harsh on
an instrument that needs tunning
the most eloquent words lose their
soul when they are used in a
shrill, unpleasant, monotonous
tone. This thought is aptly ex
pressed by many writers who are
authorities on voice culture.
You can surelv make vour
voice precisely what you want it
to be, by practicing sincerely and
by having a desire to do so. Deep
breathing from the chest, distinct
articulation with a clear tone, is
the first step. Never breathe thru
your mouth; always through your
nose. Open the mouth widely when
speaking, so that your pronuncia
tion will flow smooth and clear.
If you make a special effort to
throw the voice forward in a rich
full tone, not a harsh throaty
quality, the ideal one has a mus
ical effect.
If you want a fine, well culti
vated voice, you will have to take
care of it. Never strain the voice
by speaking too long or cheering
for a prolonged period of time, as
it will overstrain the vocal cords.
Gargle the throat once or twice
per week to keep it refreshed and
remember to breathe deeply when
you are walking in the fresh air.
Walking in the fresh air is very
necessary. Walk as much as you

If you speak habitually in a

practice deep breathing regularly

NATURAL GAS PROPOSAL
SHALL THE METROPOLITAN UTILITIES
DISTRICT OF OMAHA, AS PROVIDED BY
THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEBRASKA,
BE AUTHORIZED TO USE AND_SUPPLY
STRAIGHT NATURAL GAS?
YES
NO
PLEASE CONSIDER THESE POINTS!
as you make up your mind on NATURAL GAS:
1 Thousands of Omaha citizens who
want additional gas cannot be served
* unless a change is made to 800 BTU
mixed or 1.000 BTU straight Natural
Gas. We believe it our duty to take
whatever steps are necessary to meet
their requirements. Omaha is now
using a 50% mixture of Natural Gas,
and this mixture must be increased
to 75% if voters do not approve full
Natural Gas November 5.
Therefore, you are not voting as be
tween Manufactured and Natural
Gas. You are voting your choice be
tween 75% Natural Gas and full
Natural Gas, because our present gas
must be advanced to 75% Natural
Gas mixture regardless of the elec
tion outcome.
3 In either case — a changeover will
have to be made next summer. The
* cost will be paid for by the Utilities
, District.
t
4 Gas engineering authorities have ad
vised the city that a 75% mixed gas
■ would be only a temporary mecsuro
and that within a few years Omaha
would have no choice but to go to
full Natural Gas service. Putting oil
the decision to go to full Natural Gas
would practically double the change
Dover expenses.
Approving full, 100% Natural Gas
now will assure abundant gas, at
lowest cost, for all purposes in tho
future, and will avoid further incon
venience, expense and difficulty as
Omaha's gas demands increass
through the years.
