Community 2. State J. Industry Administrative control of the beer industry in Nebraska is a three-way job. It starts in the local commun »ity where municipal officials decide which applications for license they will approve. These officials also have the first responsibility for seeing that the licensed taverns in their communities are lawfully operated. Second, there is the ever ready force of the State Liq uor Commission for higher administration, stricter consid eration of licenses, continuous inspections of licensed beer selling outlets, and speedy pun ishment of law violators. Finally, there is the service of the Nebraska Committee, U. S. Brewers Foundat’on, al ways watchful of the conduct of beer licensees, and always ready to cooperate with both the community and the state by supplying control from within., NEBRASKA COMMITTEE I United States Brewers Foundation Charles E.

Fresh Frodnce Markets Faneuil Hall market tn Boston is 200 years old and the French mar ket in New Orleans is 150 years old. Other markets, handling fresh fruits and vegetables that are more than 100 years old include Pearl street market in Cincinnati, Dock street market and Callowhill street market in Philadelphia, and the Roanoke avenue market at Norfolk.

Because of this the basic colors and fundamental designs of Oriental rugs have a fresh feeling, which, as one decorator points out, imparts a touch of warmth and hominess to modem interiors.
