Your Rights
Are Respected
Even if you are not a tavern
patron, you as a citizen have
certain rights connected with
beer selling in your town
which you should not neglect.
The Nebraska Committee,
representing the beer industry
of the state with a program
of self-regulation, is anxious
that you do not yield them.
If you observe beer-selling
conditions which you consider
bad or unwholesome, you are
urged to take an interest and
make complaints to the respon
sible enforcement authorities.
Your action'wiil have the sup
port of most beer retailers in
your community, as well as
of the Nebraska Committee
under its program of sclf-reg
lation. Our work helps cit
izen and beer retailer to avoid
or correct practices which
arouse public displeasure.
Such cooperation—by the
public, law enforcement
agencies, Nebraska Commit
tee and the entire beer industry
— gives Nebraska its high
standards . of: tavern opera- ,
tions. Even better conditions
is our constant objective.

Mom, Junior is a tough man to
get along with. His first marriage
failed because of this fact and now
this one is on shaky ground. Your

and go home or move out in a
place to yourself and let the kids
thrash this out in their own way.
Okay Mom?
B. M.—There is a man doing
some work for me and he tries to
like me. I am afraid he will do
something to break up me and my
husband and I want us to always
love each other. My husband loves
me and is doing right toward the
family. Seems like I have a dis
satisfied mind and I don’t know
what to do- I was told a spell
was put on me.
Ans: Obviously, the man is a
quack and a fraud. You mustn’t
let him dupe you any longer. For
get what he told you for he meant
you more harm than good. If he
attempts to contact you, sic the
law on him—that will quiet him
for good. You have a fine husband
and a good provider for which you
should be very thankful. Have
more faith in yourself, dear wom

If these spells of fear and melan

The Cost of Providing
Telephone Service is
Much Higher NOW
i
i
The cost of furnishing telephone service has
gone up very rapidly in the last few years.
:
• Since 1940, our payroll in Nebraska
; (which is about two-thirds of the total cost of
providing telephone service) has more than
doubled. Prices of materials, supplies and
equipment used in the telephone business
have increased over 35 per cent since 1940 and
are continuing to increase.
In spite of a record volume of business
during and since the war, Company earnings
have been only a little more than they were
in the worst year of the depression. Since
1940, the number of Company telephones in
Nebraska has increased about 41 per cent but
our expenses in furnishing service in this
state have practically doubled.
To provide good service and to continue
to increase its usefulness, this Company has
spent $3,380,000 in Nebraska since V-J Day
for service improvements and new facilities
and it will need to spend many millions more
in the next few years.
V ' '• - * 1 A. . ,. ...... < •.
The tremepdous construction program we
have under way to serve the public satisfac
torily will require adequate earnings to at
tract the necessary capital from the investing
public at reasonable terms and on a sound basis.

and Miss Thelma Gardner. The
judges were: Mr. D. Crooms, Mr.

YWCA-LOCAL, NATIONAL
AND INTERNTAIONAL
(BY ETHEL F. BREWER)
(This series of articles will deal
with the YWCA as an institu
tion in the community and as a
source of inspiration to those
who participate in its program.)
In last week’s article we discus
sed the purpose of YWCA and
how we can have fuller and hap
pier lives by working with such an
organization. This week’s article
will deal with some of the historic
al background and how this vast
organization came into being.
The gathering together of peo
ple who believed in prayer saw the
beginning of YWCA. In 1884,
George Williams had the idea that
young men and young women
should be drawn together for de
velopment and service in a relig
ious atmosphere. Following this
in 1850, after the Crimean War,
Emma Roberts formed “a band of
Christian girls uniting in the name
of Jesus for their mutual benefit,
and for any woman whom they
might influence for good."
Here in America in 1800, the Y
WCA was formed by thirty wom
en who were interested in the de
velopment of the moral and relig
ious welfare of young women
“who are dependent on their own
exertions for support.”
After over a hundred years, the
organization still exists and still
carries on Christian work with all
peoples. From this meagre be
ginning in 1844 and 1850, we have
now more than forty nine countr
ies experiencing the opportuity to
participate in YWCA programs
and its approximate world mem
bership is more than a million.
The United States, of course, has
the largest membership; which is
over 600,000. The headquarters
of the World YWCA is in Geneva.
There must be depth to an or
ganization that is so worldwide
and so inclusive- Its philosophy
permeates the fundamental quali
ties of all peoples, its practice of
administering to the whole indiv
i idual and his sharing that which
he posses with others, is such that
we cannot help picturing YWCA in
the lines from Edwin Markham
when he said:
“There is a destiny that makes
us brothers:
None goes his way alone;
All that we send into lives of
others
Comes back into our own.’’

Walter Eeuther is always “set

mobile companies.
Every year, he comes out and
tells the companies how much
. they are going to make next
year, and that he wants it.
If the companies want to make
some profit in 1947, to make up
for their $5 million loss in 1946,
he yells about “capitalistic greed.”
Retail prices are really my
