School bells are again calling
the youth of America back to
their classrooms. We are re
minded of the magnificent job
our American educators are
doing in helping to mold the
characters and lives of our boys
and girls. They are making a
priceless contribution in the
building of a better state and
nation.
In another field, too, education
helps make Nebraska a better
state. Progressive beer retailers
are today more anxious than
ever to operate their taverns in
such a way that the public in
terest will be protected. They
are aided in this by the day to
day educational program and
inspection service of the Ne
braska Division, U. S. Brewers
Foundation. This organiza
tion, through a complete pro
gram of Self- Regulation, also 1
cooperates with public authori
ties to eliminate bad operations.
This educational program is
one which has so proven its
worth during 10 years of op
eration in Nebraska that it has
been adopted in a score of
other states.

T for Texas again finds Merle
Travis in fine fettle as he sings
“T for Texas, T for Tennessee
and T for Thelma, who made a
wreck out of me.” Merle also
does a spot of yodeling on this
side, all of which merges as a
Top Travis effort.
Floatin’ is a medium tempo’d
riff instrumental, with Bobby
Sherwood and his Orchestra
achieving a rich, “full” effect
throughout. There are two not
able solos on this side featur
ing Bobby and his trumpt and
the tenor saxophone of Herbie
Jiaymer.
