New York—New Orleans—San Francisco—Seattle—your «ye catches the outline of the tall structures towering as freedom’s challenge to the world. The American skyline is there as the trade mark of a land of boundless resources in imagination, energy and tfhrift. It signalizes the strength and security of the nation, made so because our people have conserved their strength to assure their security. This country’s faith in itself is epitomized in the United Slates E and H Savings Bond program for all of us. More than anything else the American skyline is the physical evidence of American investment power and the resourcs of American savings. It is a monument to the forethought of thrift. This is the country that has looked always to the future. It has become strong because its people invested in it, as they in turn have fared well be cause of that investment return. Think well! Every dollar put into America comes back in divi dends. These are paid not alone in the rich reward of living in lib erty under God, not alone in the highest standard of living for a whole people that the world has ever known. Dividends are earned too from every individual investment in the savings bond program of the nation. From childhood our thrifty parents have taught us that, only as we save from our earning years, can we guarantee the security of life’s evening. We can protect the needs of our growing families only by conservation of our resources of today against the certain calls of tomorrow. There are few, if any, more practicable means of invest ing at once in the security of our country and of ourselves than in ^piethodical purchase of E and H Savings Bonds. Your money is lent to the Nation today. The country returns it to you in your own fene of need with its interest earning augmenting your investment. Few of us are able to put substantial sums in either bank or se curities. But no wage earner need be deterred from orderly saving by that fact. By utilizing payroll withholdings in the purchase of saving bonds, regular investment is open to the small income and salary. Your regular weekly or periodical deduction will range you with 40 million American families that own U. S. Savings Bonds. Four out of every ten of them earn less than $5,000 a year. Savings Bonds are an asset to American wealth. But, in sober truth, they are a godsend to the worker whose dollars must be budgeted to go as far as possible and still be ready to meet every emergency. That American skyline is the visible evidence of American in vestment at work. Every business or industry that its structures bouse is kept going by the activity of American dollars, invested to serve and earn. The Nation is such an industry, the greatest of them all. Your dollars, placed in its service, keep the wheels of govern ment turning. Your Bond-a-Month bought from the United States finances its huge service to all of us. Your family structure is only as secure as your own energy and your own thrift. No spendthrift family succeeds. No spendthrift Nation survives. So your country is only as secure as the confidence and strength of the investment of all Americans in it. Keep American strong! Keep American secure! Buy a bond a month! News From Around Nebraska At Schuyler two new grain storage elevators are being rush ed to completion. The Schuyler Sun pictured both of the huge storage bins in last week’s paper. One concrete elevator will hold 210,000 bushels. Another will hold 100,000 bushels. Schuyler al ready has vast storage facilities for grain and is rapidly becoming one of the largest grain storage cities in Nebraska. * * * A number of towns in the Republican Valley are to have regu lar daily bus service beginning July 1st, the Red Cloud Commercial Advertiser announced last week. The bus will originate at Hast ings and run west to Beaver City, giving service to Red Cloud, Franklin and Alma in addition to Hastings and Beaver City. The bus will carry mail, newspapers and passengers. • * * Stock car races were held at Osceola last Sunday and the Osceola Record announced that there would be 14 cars competing for the prize money. Compared to the 95 cars which turned out for the Arlington races last Sunday, the Osceola affair would seem rather tame. However, a less crowded track would probably be conducive to Easter races but fewer smashups and roll-overs. « * * A girl at Mead, Nebraska, entered a roller skating derby at Fremont last week and skated an estimated 40 miles before ’ calling it quits. The Wahoo Newspaper, which noted the contest, stated that she skated for four hours at an estimated speed of 10 miles per hour. She didn’t win, however, for the first-place skater made 952 laps of the floor which was the equivalent of 46 miles. * • * • Gavins Point dam, which has been under construction near TEankton for the past three years, will carry out closure ceremonies Sunday, July 31st, the Cedar County News at Hartington has an nounced. A fitting program and ceremony is being planned for the event. It is expected that there will be a number of persons from t-Tr^g area who will attend the ceremonies and watch the final 3*j»p in pinching off the Missouri river at the dam. * * * A new curb-service “courtesy” mail box has been installed at Onawa in front of the postoffice, according to the Onawa news papers. * * . The posts which once held the parking meters at Crete are be iag removed, the Crete News revealed last week. Crete went through a protracted period of argument for and against the meters and finally decided to take the meters off the posts. The posts, however, were never removed because some felt that the day would come when they would want the meters in stalled again. It now appears reasonably certain, that Crete is not going back to the meters and therefore the decision to remove the poles has been reached. * * * Two men, aged 66 and 76, who were fishing on Lake Mc Conaughy near Ogallala recently spent a harrowing night and bare ly escaped with their lives. Shortly before dark a sudden storm came up which prevent ed their getting back to shore. Finally, after being buffetted by waves and wind for quite a time, a large wave hit them broadside and turned their boat over. One of the men came up underneath the boat, the other beside it. Unable to right their boat, they hung on all through the night and were finally sighted the next morning after spending more than 10 hours in the water. The men were hospitalized be cause of cramps and pain suffered from their long exposure in the water. * * * Neligh had a tragic accident last week when a well known farm woman was kicked by a cow and fatally injured. Mrs. William Peterson was kicked in the head and abdomen and died of internal injuries before a doctor could reach her. The Neligh Leader reported the tragedy. * * * A new playing field has been dedicated at Pierce and the first game, played last week, drew over 600 persons, according to the Pierce Leader. The lighted field, including backstops, bleachers and other facilities were constructed in two weeks with volunteer labor. » * * Central City, which voted $35,000 in bonds a year ago to build a new swimming pool, has found that the project will cost $65,000. The voters at Central City are now being asked to place their OK on the transferring of $30,000 from the city’s electric fund so that work on the proposed pool may be started at once. Nearly all of the community’s civic groups have placed their OK on the plan, according to the Central City Republican-NonPareil. » * * Workmen who were bulldozing earth to make way for a new sand pit in the vicinity of Seward, uncovered what has been de termined to be a bed of an ancient tropical sea. This has been indicated by the finding of shark teeth, oyster shells, and a par tial skeleton of a 35-ft. long water reptile called a Plesiosaur. Directors of the University of Nebraska Museum have taken charge of the find and pronounce it rich in tentative information which has been suspected but never before confirmed. The Seward Independent showed pictures of the men working on their find. Seem# Stars New York (CNS) — Invading our town with the holidays—the1 traditional lineup of Negro talent.

Beauty Secrets By Rose Morgan Of New York It’s In Your Hands Housework gettijjg under your skin? Take a look at your hands and see if it really, is. If they are rough, sometimes chapped and painful, with hangnails a round the cuticle, it is time for you to give them a bit of needed attention. In addition to the care of the hands by a professional, a good deal can be done by each, individ ual woman to protect the beauty of her hands and nails. To prevent drying of the flesh of the hands (where age will tell on you even though your face hasn’t a wrinkle) be careful a bout putting them in too much hot water. Use rubber gloves at dish washing time or when doing the laundry, so that strong soaps and very hot water don’t have a chance to coarsen your skin. Keep your hand cream or lotion not only in the bathroom, but also close to your washing areas. Use it freely each time you take your hands out of water. When the cuticle around the nails becomes rough and broken, give ifc a simple beauty treatment every time you wash your rands. As you dry with; a soft towel, gently push back the flesh around the nails, workng toward always keeping it from hardening against the base of the nail. Rub a rich cream into the cuti cles nightly, and any time during the day you happen to think of it. This procedure wll help to prevent splitting of the nails at the tip and also halt the lines which sometimes form on the nail from injured cuticle. To relieve chapping and rough ness, massage the hands and a round the nails with a rich skin cream. Then dig out a pair of old cotton gloves from your draw er and sleep in them for a night or two. You’ll be amazed at the way your hands will respond to this attention. Meticulous attention to the cleanliness of the hands and nails is, of course, absolutely necessary. The most beautiful skin can lose its charm when stains and dirt are ground into the flesh around the nails. It’s a good policy to remember that your beauty secrets are of ten “in your hands.” Summer Classes Begin At Joslyn For Omaha Kids Begin At Joslyn, July 12.

Monte Irvin Surprised At Trip To Minors New York -— When 36 year old Monte Irvin got the news that he had been sent down to the Min neapolis Millers with no chance to ever return to the Giants, he was extremely disappointed. These were his words: “The way I was playing, I thought I might be traded to some club. But I didn’t expect that I could go like I did.” Monte will carry with him his ! $25,000 salary and thus be about j the highest paid player in the ! minors. He also has the promise of Giant Owner, Horace Stone ham that the Giants will do I everything they can to bring him ! back to the majors even though he can never play with the Giants. Said Stoneham—a loyal man who remembers how much Irvin j did for the club in the “miracle of ’51” when Monte blazed the [ way to the pennant with his bat— j “If Monte gets hot and some j other major league club bids for his contract, the Minneapolis club will sell.” The Giants own Minneapolis and so can order thej club to do so. With the Giants seven years and a great favorite with both the fans and the players, Monte had his best year in ’51 with a i .312 batting average. When he j broke his ankle the following spring, he probably tried to get I back in action too soon and so ; was never the same again. Even ] | last year with the Giants winning j the pennant, Irvin wasn’t half as effective though he did much damage to the Dodgers. He leaves the Giants with a .253 bat ting average though his overall major league record is .299.

I CITYZCNE STATE j I---—— — —-— ——-— — -J I Travel Hints Negro motorists have more problems to contend with than any other disadvantaged group in America! The statement is rash, with overtones of rancor and bitter ness, but it is true. What are some of these ‘prob lems’? First, the matter of find ing decent places to sleep in near ly every part of the country. Negroes have been known to be refused in Massachusetts as well as California, and they know, without being told, that they just! can’t find accommodations (in discriminately) in States where mixing of the races is illegal. Second, in many Southern States, the Negro motorist is hard put to find gasoline service stations where he and his fam ily can use the rest rooms. In most cases, it is not the fault of the company that sells the gas to the operator; the villian is the owner of the station or the hired help. Third, the matter of getting a good hot meal. It is common practice for Negroes going on long trips to carry enough food to last a week. They know by sad experience that to attempt to find restaurants along the way where they won’t be embarrassed, is well-nigh impossible, especially in the South and some places in the Mid-West. There are other problems but these are the most urgent and they alone account for the Neg roes’ fear of long, overnight travel by car. They account for the fact that Negroes keep their cars longer than other people, and therefore cannot realize as much for his old car when he tries to buy a new one. Happily for the Negro motor ist, he can now eliminate some of his problems by securing a copy of “Go-Guide to Pleasant Motoring”, the official Directory of the Nationwide Hotel Associa tion, published by Andrew F Jackson & Associates, 918 F St. N.
