„ A properly dressed window will contribute to the winter coziness of your home, keep it warmer and reduce expenditures for fuel by blocking drafts from the outside and loss of heat from the inside. * The ideal window dress pictured here is a snug-fitting Venetian blind with full-hung draperies of light-weight wool. A simple valance adds a decorative touch and prevents drafts and heat loss at the top of the windows. Tests by the Armour Research Foundation of Chicago show that the blinds can save enough in fuel costs to pay for themselves during their long term of usefulness. An air space is formed between closed 'slats of the blind and window glass that prevents drafts from enter ing the room and interior heat' from escaping. f Windows, are naturally, not the only factors to be considered in ’insulating your home, but they can do their part gracefully and effec tively with the proper treatment. __ HOIf THE GAS PLANT W ILL BE USED The District in order to insure a full supply of gas for their customers have taken the following steps in case there should be breaks in the mains, floods or other acts of grovi dents. . ^ *> j« A M .. First — The Utilities have irtstfalled in the gas plant 10 large PropaJie tanks holding in all 25,000 gallons in the liquid form. PropOne is a petro leum product. A gallon of propane will vaporize into 36 cu. feet of 2500 btu propane fas. Second—This gas will be mixed with our old 600 Btu gas which we still manufacture. The propane gas will be redcue to 1000 btu and both gases stored for an emergency in our No 5 Holder. The holers are the large tanks you see when you drive by the gas works. Thirdly—We will store full of natural gas No. 6, 7, and our high pressure holder. Fourth—We will keep Our No. 8 hol der full of 600 btu gas. Now should there be an emergency we will mix the three gasses reduced to 1000 Btu fromour reserve tanks and shoot this mixture through the mains. This mix ed gas will operate like natural gas so that you can not tell the difference in the burning of your gas appliances. Just exactly what goes on in the old plant now days you say wish to know. Here is the story. A new engine room and gas pumps have been installed to pump the gas from storage and push it through the mains. Some changing in piping have beefi made to faciliate distribution. All Natural gas is conditioned at the gas plant. That is it is first odor* ized, since natural gas is odorless, Then it is fogged, thot is mixing gas with an oil spray, then the gas is humidified or spraying it with live steam. This is done to prevent leak age at the joints in gas mains, since natural g asis a dry gas. The gas plant in a case of a sus tained emergency can resume full pro. duction in eight hours of the old 600 Btu gas since we have in stock a full inventory of all the necessary mater ial We have in our emergency tanks all the gas necessary to keep the gas flowing until we could resume full production of 600 btu gas. The high pressure holder that is thd green ball you see on 21 and Martha looking like a big ballon) could provide necessary pressure un til the pusher pumps go into opera tion. Engineers and fireman are on duty 24 hours a day. The boilers provide heat for the buildings, the Service Building across the street and the ice plant at 20 and Poppleton and the Poppleton Avenue Pumping Station are supplied by a steam line from the gas plant. The boilers heat the water in the holders in winter to keep the water from freezing and supply live steam for all other purposes. Gas makers are on the job and experts ' are on duty to condition the gas. Maintence men are at work to keep ! the plant in immediate operating con- ! dition. E> PRIEST.

It is often suggested that the Negro should lift himself by his own bootstraps, but it ns usually forgotten that his feet are set in concrete. Many of us want sincerely to eradi cate the problem of racism in our country. Race prejudice is not only a sha dow over the colored—it is a shadow over all of us, and the shadow is darkest over those who feel it least and allow its evil effects to go on. It is the white people who are en dangered most by race prejudice. We cannot grow in strength and eader ship for democracy as ong as this problem exists, for as surely as night follows day, our country will fail in its democracy because of race pre judice unless we root it out. We are endangered in the world where there are many millions more of colored people than of white. The world will close down on us some day if race prejudice goes on divid ing us. ^understanding rather than meaness, make men unjust to each other. Ignorance and prejudce feed upon each other. The ignorant are al ways prejudiced, and the prejudiced > are always ignorant. ■ Our attitudes, our prejudices and segregation are more harmful to America as a whole than to Negroes i or any minority group. Our racial pat ■ terns are hurting our economy and handicapping us. It is keeping us ' from full use of Negroes and break ing the morale of millions who make up the minority groups. Hate must never be permitted to strangle Amerca. If it does our nation will be a sck nation. It will even eventualy die. The disease of hate is a disease to which people have not yet become immune. It is a disease of the human mind which people have not yet learned to control. To under stand it and keep it from spreading we must attach it the same as we would attach any disease of the body. All of us realize that racism is pre valent. But, too often, we are all responsible. We must open our eyes and ears. We must see what is hap pening to people against whom pre judice is directed and to people who holds prejudice in their minds, how prejudce is attaching both the tor mented and the tormentors. We must recognize its growth and spead. We must know what harm prejudice is doing everywhere. The highest wisdom is to know the truth, the highest virtue is to do right. One should have either the brains to lead or the faith to follow. To be willing to live the truth is a greater virtue than to be willing to die for one’s opinions. Justice and liberty are for all or for none. Injustice cannot linger in a land that is really bright with free dom’s holy light. An individual or people cannot long remain both Jek yll and Hyde, for one character or the other wi|l evdntu^Uy trjumph. A race cannot be persistently unjust and dishonest to another race and be permanently either honest or just to itself. Kindness never degraded any one. A virtuous man is an asset to his community—and a vicious man is a deficit—regardless qi race identity. Let all the friends of humanity, bend every energy to increase the Negroes’ respect and patience. Encou rage Negroes in professions and busi ness. It will help every body. And this should be the Christian duty and patriotic obligation of every true American. ‘‘If we all set our eyes on justice for all men, the momentum of right 1 eousness will overcome all obstales, even the race question.” I -—" - .

Hunt Her Attorney Beg. 10-25-47—End. 11-15-47 POLITENESS If I could command the speech of twenty nations I would praech polite ness in them all. It is the Aladdin's lamp of success. I do not speak idly in praise of politeness, for out of the experience of fifty-six years in the bainkiqg business it has been borne in upon me almost daily that courtesy is one of the prime factors in the building up of every character. It is the hallmark of the Christian gentleman and of the keen man of aaffirs. 1 William Penn wrote: ‘’The wisdom of nations lies in their proverbs, which are brief and pithy. Collect and learn them; they are notable measures and direction for human life; you have much in little; they save time in speaking, and upon oc casions may be the fullest softest an swers.” Because there is so much in terest in China at the present time we have gathered a few of her pro verbs : Just scale and a full measure in jure no man. Going to law is losing the cOw for the sake of the cat. All the virtues are in peril when filial piety is attacked. A collection of good sentences re sembles a string of pearls. Rogues differ little. Each began first as a disobedient son. What is whispered in your ear is often heard a hundred miles off.** A wise man adapts himself to cir- ' cumstances as water shapes itself to ' the vessel that contains it. 1 / A single conversation across the i table with a wise man is worth a } month’s study of books. Not the cry, but the flight Of the } wild duck, leads the flock to fly and ' follow.

GROSS JEWELRY & LOAN CO. - PHONE JA 16.35 formerly at— 24th and Erskine NEW LOCATION 516 North 16th The Public Approves This Kind of Action The conditions in the state’s taverns are decidedly improved over that of several years ago. Most Nebraska tavern owners, today, keep their places clean and wholesome, and operate in an orderly, acceptable manner. The present-day beer retailer ! goes out of his way to avoid any practice or condition that may be displeasing to the gen eral public. Violations of the law such as sales to minors or to intoxicat ed persons are constantly guarded against, and tavern owners refuse to tolerate noise or boisterous conduct. These improved conditions are largely the result of the Ne braska Committee’s program of self-regulation. This pro gram, now in its 10th year, has been so effective it has won the approval of the public. Its ac tivities will continue with un abated vigor.
