Harry A. Foster Introduces NonDiscrimination
Amendment Bill 421 Into Neb. Legislature
Senator Harry A. Foster. State
Legislator from this district, intro

the convening of the Nebraska
State Legislature, Legislative Bill
It’s Your Duty
To Help Choose
Good Licensees
Licenses soon will be issued to
the tavern-keepers who will
sell the beer in your town next
year. You and your neighbors
—not the beer industry—will
select the licensees.
The Nebraska Committee,
dedicated to maintaining the
beer industry on a high plane
of public acceptance, has asked
all Nebraska mayors to check
carefully on the qualifications
and past records of licensees.
In addition, all citizens are
urged to cooperate with their
licensing bodies now. You do
not want—no one wants—
careless or incompetent beer
licensees.
So you are urged to attend the
public hearing that will be held
in your town to consider all
new and renewal licenses. You
are urged to report any condi
tions that should be improved.
Taverns in your community
can be as good as the majority
of the citizens want them. We
urge you to do your part.

Lincoln—Care in passing on ap
plications for new and renewal
beer licenses is urged in a letter to
Nebraska Mayor by Charles 13.
Sandall, state director of the Nebr
aska Committee, U. S. Brewers
Foundation. He heads the brewing
industry’s self regulation program
in the state.
Mr. Sandail suggests to officials
that “the renewing of a beer lic
ense should depend entirely upon
the p—ast record of the applicant”
He urges mayors and city councils
to remember that no applicant has
a right under law to demand a lic
ense, “for a license is a privilege
and not a property right”.
State Director Sandall asks spec
ial attention to Section 99 of the
Nebraska liquor control act. This
provides that before local licensing
authorities shall recommend to the
liquor control commission the is
suance of a license, they shall sat
isfy themselves and shall certify
to the commission as to (1) the
moral character and financial re
sponsibility of the applicant; (2)
the appropriateness of the location
taking into consideration the num
ber of licenses already issued, and
(3) generally as to the applicant’s
fitness for the trust to be reposed.
“Strict adherence to the forego
ing will give Nebraska the sound
est and best possible method of
handling alcholic beverages.” Mr
Sandall concludes.

Dear Mr. Galloway:
Thanks for lending a helpful
hand in the fight against infantile
paralysis. We needed your help
this year as never before and we’re
sincerely grateful for your contri
bution to the March of Dimes.
Your generous'cooperation helps
make it possible for the National
Foundation for Infantile Paralysis
to renew its guarantee of the best
available care and treatment to
every person stricken with infan

"Washington |
Capsules!
1_BY LARSTON D. FARRAR -1
February is the birth-month of
three great Americans—Thomas
A. Edison, Abraham Lincoln and
George Washington.
Each of them was important to
our government, and our govern
ment was important to each of
them. Alexander Graham Bell,
whose 100th anniversary will be
observed on March 3rd, once said
that the Constitution of the Unit
ed States was “the greatest inven
tion of man” and pointed out that
made more possible the swift de
velopment of all physical inven
tions than any other government
document ever penned.
Edison, known as “the wizard of
Menlo Park,’’ held 1,097 U. S- pat
ents—more than any other Amer
ican. He created the present elec
trical power and light industry,
was the father of industries now
worth $20,000,000,000, employing
4,000,000 persons. Edison helped
make America great, but without
the American system, Edison could
not have been great. Had he been
bom in any other nation, it is like;
ly that he would not have made
his inventions, or, if he had made
them, it is not likely that their
benefits would have been spread so
quickly to so many different peo
ple.
Lincoln has a place in literary
history that equals his place in
govenmental history. More than
any other President who ever liv
ed, he was a man of the people, a
true product of the American soil.
Of all the statues in Washington,
none pulls the heart strings so
strongly as does the great brood
ing figure of Lincoln resting in an
armchair in the Lincoln Memor
ial.
My two small boys, who like the
Lincoln statue best of all, never
let me drive past it without stop
ping. We can park before the mar
bled memorial and catch a glimpse
of the seated Lincoln inside, the
soft lights playing upon him. The
lights accentuate the shadows of
his face, make it seem at times
that he is smiling or weeping.
An average of 10,000 persons
t visit the Lincoln Memorial every
week end the year round in Wash
| ington. They, like my boys, like
| to read aloud the most gripping
words ever penned by an Americ
an President—the Gettysburg Ad
dress.
Washington, first in war and
first in peace and first in the
hearts of his countrymen, has an
unchallenged place in history. His
famous "Farewell Address,” writ
ten after a lifetime with exper
ience and study, is read each year
in both Houses of Congress on his
birthday—February 22.
For tired Americans, there may
be better places to rest and regain
strength. But for disillusioned, dis
pirited Americans, there can be no
better place to rekindle the fires
of patriotism and faith in Ameri
ca than at Mount Vernon, Wash
ington’s home, down the Ptomac j
from the capital. Here, a person
may relive in memory the struggl
es and the triumphs of a man who I
gave up his loyalties to a king in
order that, in his native country
side, even the poorest man might1
have the prerogatives of any man,!
even a king.
Dr. George Russell Harrison, I
dean of the Masschusetts Institute
of Technology, tells this story to
illustrate the bureaucratic jargon
which sometimes affects Washing
ton civil servants:
A New York plumber of foreign
extraction wrote the National Bur
eau of Standards and said he had
discovered that hydrochloric acid
quickly opened rainage pipes. He
wanted to know if the acid was a
good thing to use for such purpos
es.
A scientist at the bureau replied
to the plumber in the following
words:
“The efficacy of hydrochloric
acid is indisputable, but the cor
rosive residue is incompatible with
metallic permanence.’’
The plumber wrote back, thank
ing the bureau for telling him the
method was all right.
The scientist at the bureau was a
little disturbed about the misunder
standing and showed the corres
pondence to his boss. The latter
wrote the plumber:
“We cannot assume responsibil
ity for the production of toxic and
noxous residue with hydrochloric
acid and suggest you use an alter
native procedure.”
The plumber desponded that he
agreed with the bureau—hydro
chloric acid worked fine. The
plumber apparently did a big busi
ness and the bureaucrats became
disturbed at what might happen to
the New York skyscrappers if they
did not make themselves under
stood. They consulted the top boss
He broke the impasse by tearing
himself away from ‘scientific’ term
inology and writing this simple
letter:
"Don’t use hydrochloric acid. It
eats hell out of pipes.”
Miscellaneous: The members of
Congress received $6 per day for
their services back in 1796. This
was raised to $8 a day in 1812. By
1866, Congressmen got around to I
paying themselves $5,000 a year,
which by 1925 had been upped to
$10,000 a year. Now, each Con
gressman gets $12,500 a year plus
$2,500 for personal expenses._...

make you happy, then and only
then are you ready for the ro
mantic adventure of matri
money.” ABBE’ WALLACE.
• **
R- L. W.—I am in love with a
nice young boy who is now in the
army. We are engaged to be mar
ried and I want to know if he will
make me a nice husband or do you
think it would be best for me to
go on to school. I am 15 and he
Is 18.
Ans: Right now your education
is very important indeed. Con
tinue in school and try to prepare
yourself to be able to make your
own way, in case it should ever be
come necessary for you to do so.
Making a home and preparing for
babie3 is a big responsibility for a
lassie just turned fifteen. It
would be better for you and your
soldier-boy lover to wait—another
six months at least.
E. W.—Some weeks ago I went
with my husband to visit his fath
er on the farm. My husband likes
it fine up there and I dd too. Now
i his father wants us to come up
there and live. I want to know if
you think we should sell out here
and go to the farm.
Ans: Selling out is a bold ven
ture. It would be more practical
to rent out your property through
a real estate agency and then try
your luck at farming. At the end
i of a year you will be in a position
I to know for sure whether you wish
to stay on and farm or return to
town. The farm prospects for
1947 are very favorable and your
chances for succeeding are excel
lent. Nonetheless, it is good busi
ness policy to safeguard your town
property investment until you are
absolutely sure of yourselves.
C. M. R.—I am a widow of seven
years and I’m living a lonely life.
My boj—friend whom I've been in
company with for more than a
year has changed so until he seems
like a stranger. So, I’ve decided
to forget about him and find some
one new which I find is very hard
to do because I have never been
able to meet the right kind of
man. What can I do ?
Ans: A widow has to get back
into circulation—you can’t do that
by conducting a long courtship
with a man who has no serious in
tentions. Your beau is a nice fel
low, but he is not at all serious. My
suggestion is that you play a wid
er field. You will fare better to
string along with several suitors
at a time for there’s something a
bout competition that makes a man
come to the point quickly or be on
his way. The techniqque described
in my Happier Living Lesson No.
4. “HOW TO WIN A MAN’’ will be
of vital interest to you. Send 25c
for your copy.
A. J—I am really in a fix and
don't know what to do. The boy
I love and go with was my friend’s
boy friend and after they broke up
I started going with him. Every
one tried to turn my head against
him but I never caught him doing
anything wrong. Recently I saw
him with another girl on Sunday.
He carried her to one of the cheap
shows. He always carried me to
the downtown shows. He claims
he loves me but hasn’t been around
for quite awhile until lately. He
even told my mother he was not
in love with me but now he tells
me that he is and says he wants to
marry me.
Ans: A man as unsettled and
changeable as your admirer is,
makes a poor matrimonial risk,
pone mai -tge -at least until after
graduation. If this lad can stra
ighten himself up and live a life
becoming to a gentleman with seri
ous intentions in the meantime, he
may be worthy of you. He isn't
now.
* * *
K.W.—We have been married a
year and it seems we just can’t get
ahead. We are both working but
even that doesn’t help. My hus
band thought he had quite a sum
of money in the bank when he
came home from overseas but his
folks can’t give him a decent ex
planation of what they did with
it. He didn’t get a penny. We
have an apartment but we can’t
get it furnished as we have no
money. Maybe you can help us.
Ans: The disappointment your
husband had about his savings was
upsetting, sure enough, but you
young people can’t go on grieving
forever about this money. Lots of
couples begin housekeeping on a
“shoe string” with second-hand
furniture. That isn’t hard for two
young people in love and pulling
together. By careful management
and with both of you working, you
can soon have the cosiest apart
ment in town”

ARE YOU JUST A
Nature may endow you with
breathtaking beauty, a lovely
curvaceous figure. She may be
stow gifts on you that make you
a brilliant actress, a leader in
your class at college, sought
after at dances, or a charming
wife and mother.
Yes, Nature may do all this.
And yet you may find your face
mockingly slapped if you suffer
these distressing symptoms,
which so many unfortunate
girls and women do.
Something You Should
Not Joke About!
So if female functional monthly
disturbances are causing you to
suffer from pain, nervous dis
tress and feel weak, restless, so
cranky and irritable that you
almost turn into a ‘she-devil’—
on such days—this is something
you shouldn’t joke about. Start
right away—try Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound to
relieve such symptoms. It’s fa
mous for this purpose. And don’t
forget — Pinkham’s Compound
does more than relieve such
monthly pain. This great medi
cine also relieves accompanying
nervous tension, irritability,
those tired-out, mean ‘pick-on
everyone’ feelings—when due to
this cause. Taken regularly
thruout the month—Pinkham's
Compound helps build up resis
tance against such distress—a
very sensible thing to do. Just
see if you, too, don’t remarkably
benefit! All drugstores.
