Nebraskans
Give $733,642
To Fight Polio
Final Audit of 1955 March of
Dimes receipts reveal that Neb
raskan’s contributed $733,642 this
year toward the bill for America’s
accelerated fight against polio, it
was announced today by Ted R.
Hughes, Seward, State Chairman
for the March of Dimes.
This figure was $14,079 less
than the total for 1954, but Neb
raska continued for the third con
secutive year to hold fourth
highest rank in the nation in per
capita giving. Hughes said. Neb
raska’s per capita record was ex
ceeded only by the three less popu
lated states of Nevada, Wyoming
and Idaho.
“Our volunteers, partly because
they were inspired by the bright j
promise of the Salk vaccine and j
partly because of devotion to those (
for whom any vaccine comes too j
late, did a great job and deserve
the highest credit,” Hughes com- j
mented.
Although total national contri
butions in January ($52,511,185),.
following upon the heels of an j
Emergency March of Dimes last
August, were almost as much as
in January 1954 ($54,841,213),
the amount fell nearly 12 million
dollars short of increased needs in
1955, the State Chairman reported.
He drew attention to the fact
that Nebraska had its highest po
lio incidence in history (721 cases)
last year and that the resulting
load of polio patients has, or will
soon make it necessary for many
chapters to seek emergency aid
from National Headquarters. A
similar picture is found in many
other states, he said. Because of
the unprecendented drain upon
National Headquarters in the con
duct of its usual program com
bined with the cost of the vaccine
project, however, there are no
funds at National Headquarters
to be advanced — except as addi
tional amounts are made available
by individual chapters having at
least limited, unobligated funds in
their treasuries.
“It’s going to be ‘touch and
go’,” said Hughes, “to pull through
to the next March of Dimes in
January. But in keeping with the
early American tradition of mut
ual aid in time of peril, you can
be sure all county chapters a
cross the nation not already facing
deficits will contribute the maxi
mum possible to assure care and
treatment to every polio victim
anywhere regardless of age, race,
creed or geographical location.
“We are not going to let the
unfortunate victims of polio
down,” Hughes concluded, “and
we wall be back in January for
additional support that they may
continue to have medical and
other care upon which their fu
ture depends.”

round Show business circles in
New York is Duke Ellington’s new
musical proposed for a Broadway
opening this winter. Called “Man
with Four Sides” this new Elling
ton opus is a jazz opera about a
square—a henpecked guy who
finally gets loose. The Duke has
done all the music, lyrics and is
doing the most to getting the
$150,000 necessary to bring a mu
sical of this scope to Broadway.
The Duke got his biggest push
from Dave Garroway’s “Today”
program when he staged an actual
audition of the show for TV
fans... This was indeed a publicity
coup of the season, though the Ma
harajah and the Maharanee of
Jaipur (India) were alredy report

show before the “Today” publici

PUBLIC SEEKS
REINSTATEMENT
OF DR. HORNE
Washington, D. C. (CNS) The
clamors are on for the rehiring of
Dr. Frank S. Horne, former Gov
ernment adviser on race relations
in the Housing and Home Finance
Agency. Dr. Horne was let out
unceremoniously by the Republi
cans with the excuse that a budget
cut had been ordered.
Americans for Democratic Ac
tion is the latest organization to
j ask that Dr. Horne be reinstated.
Their statement came when it was
disclosed that he had rejected an
other Federal job at $300 more
I than his former salary of $12,500.
| Explained Dr. Horne: “A transfer
would be a repudiation of my ef
I forts to end racial discrimination
in housing—a goal to which I have
dedicated my entire public service.
A veteran of nineteen years of
Government service, Dr. Horne
has revealed that he’s appealing
his dismissal to the Civil Service
Commission. ADA on rallying its
membership behind him stated
that it “calls upon President Eisen
hower to make clear that the civil
rights policies proclaimed by him
!and the Republican National Com
mittee are not just political over
tures. To this end we urge the
President to direct Administrator
Cole both to rehire Dr. Horne in
his former capacity and to Ad
misiter the housing laws in the
non-discriminatory fashion t o
which his Administration is pled
ged.

TRAVEL HINTS
At the height of the travel sea
son and wihle summer is at its
hottest throughout the country, a
few pertinent questions seem to
be in order.
To the traveler: Will you re
turn to the same place next year,
and if not, why? Did you find
your hotel, motel or resort, just
like you pictured it before you
left? Were you surprised or dis
appointed? Did the advertising of
the place mislead you? Did you
pay too much for food, services
and facilities? Did the employees
treat you as a guest should be
treated, or were you ignored or in
sulted?
To the employee: How have the
guests treated you? Did they
have champagne tastes and beer
pocket books? How many ‘skips’
did you have? Did they ‘Lord’
over you and treat you like a
peasant, or were they considerate
and kind? Frankly now, are
pleasure-bent Negroes hard to get
along with?
To the owner: How’s business—
better or worse than last year? Are
you planning any innovations for
next year? How much of your
equipment will have to be re
placed, due to pilferage? Did you
lose many sheets, towels, etc., this
year? Do you welcome family
groups? What was the average
length of stay at your place?
We welcome answers to the a
bove questions and in future
columns will attempt to analyze
them in order to get a cross sec
tion of opinion.
Send your answers, as well as
any request for travel information,

NINE MILLION NEW JOBS
American business has created
close to nine million new jobs
since World War II, nearly keep
ing pace with the demand, accord
ing to the Chamber of Commerce
of the United States.
That, says the Chamber, should
throw just about the last spadeful
of earth over the grave of the no
tion that improved technology
causes unemployment.
The nine million new jobs cover
all industries except agriculture.
Government jobs are also exclud
ed. During the same period, the
Chamber reports, the number of
persons of working age has also
increased by about nine million.
These events took place during
an era of expanded technology the
like of which the world has never
seen, the Chamber points out. New
machines, new production methods,
new sales and management
skills exploded all over the in
dustrial landscape.
The biggest boost in jobs came
in the retail trades, in manufact
uring, construction and the ser
vice industries. And while the
number of farm jobs decreased
due to increased productivity,
these workers found jobs else
where, the Chamber points out.
The lesson these figures teach
the Chamber suggests, is that the
net effect of better ways of doing
things is to create rather than to
destroy jobs.
PERMANENT SCREEN FOR
HOME MOVIES
A permanent screen for home
movies solves the storage pro
blem of a portable one. Attach
a panel of quarter-inch Temper
ed Presdwood to a wall, after
beveling the exposed edges and
rounding the corners. Prime the
board and apply two finish coats
of aluminum paint. If desired,
the screen may be kept out of
sight behind a drape. Similarly
painted, panels of Tempered
Presdwood are ideal light re
flectors in home or professional
photo studios.
OPERATION HOME
IMPROVEMENT
Home repair “super markets”
where fix-it fans could find practi
cally anything needed for house
hold jobs, are getting a lot of ser
ious study by suppliers according
to the Chamber of Commerce of
the United States.
Here, under one roof, a home
owner could buy bricks, concrete,
paint, lumber and hardware, in
stead of having to shop around a
half a dozen stores to get what he
needs to complete a home repair
job.
The same market might also
help Mr. Suburbanite with plans
for a specific project, offer ex
pert advice, and even arrange fi
nancing, if necessary.
To some extent, supply houses,
lumber yards and hardware stores
already are offering this kind of'
service. But it is relatively new,
the Chamber points out, and is
due for a big push.
Promotion of the home repair
of Operation Home Improvement
“super market” idea will be part
of Operation Home Improvement
to begin next January under the
aegis of the Chamber’s Construc
tion and Civic Development De
partment with the support of the
entire home building industry.
PROTECTION AGAINST
SMUDGY HANDS
To protect the wainscot of a
child’s room or stairway, apply
panels of Masonite Leatherwood,
the embossed hardboard which
will outwear the walls to which
they are fastened. An attracive
dark brown color, the Leather
wood needn’t be painted, and when
sealed it won’t show marks from
smudgy hands. Fasten it with a
wallboard mastic.
COVER FOR LAUNDRY TUBS
Keep assorted sizes of ver
satile Masonite Tempered Presd
wood around the home for such
uses as a laundry tub cover, for
protecting the automobile back
seat while hauling heavy or sharp
articles, for lapboards in writing,
drawing or typing, for holding
flower pots and vases, for replac
ing a cane chair seat, for renew
ing the bottom or sides of a
trunk, for a sunshade or on the
ground picnic game table.
WILLIE PACING GIANTS
FOR 2nd PLACE
New York (CNS) Despite all the
moaning of the Giant fans—with
a great deal of it directed at Will
ie Mays for not being super
human—the Giants seemed head
ed for 2nd place in the National
League. That’s if they hustle the
rest of the way and go all out for
the next best to being pennant
winners.
Pacing the Giants is Willie, no
less, who seems stronger in Aug
ust than he was earlier in the
year. Although Willie’s batting
35 points less than last year— he’s
still hitting at .301 and his RBI
pace is faster than last year’s.
Since July 1st, the Giants have
won 28 of 44 games played.
2-Car Trend
Is Picking Up
In Nebraska
Nebraska’s wives and teen
agers, tired of being stranded j
when their bread-winner drives,
! the family car to work, are spark-1
ing a statewide two-car boom,
according to a special survey Dy j
Universal C. I. T. Credit Corpora
tion, the nation’s largest inde
pendent automobile financing
firm.
The survey was conducted by
the heads of the company’s 40
division offices throughout the
nation. Four of the company’s
branch offices are in Nebraska.
In addition to observations of |
these experienced executives, the
firm said, the survey included in
terviews with the hundreds of
automobile dealers by Universal
C. I. T.
“Our survey disclosed that the
major reasons behind the pur
chase of a second car,” said vice
president Harold D. Wetzel of O
maha, “are the trend to suburban
living and the need for a second
car for shopping and taking child
ren to school when the husband
uses the car to get to work.”
Another important reason, he
said, is that millions of teen-agers
are attaining driving age and an
increasing number are able to af
ford automobiles. This factor will
become even more important, he
pointed out, when the huge “war
baby” population reaches driving
age in the 1960’s.
There are about 4,500,000 two
car families in the United States.
The credit executive estimated
that about 13 per cent of Neb
raska s car-owning families have
more than one car. The percent
age probably will double over the
next five years, he declared.
Most of the state’s two-car fam
ilies are white collar or profession
al workers and farmers, although
two-car ownership is widespread
among skilled workers, the sur
vey showed.
Average annnual income of two
car families is about $7,000 in Neb
raska, the survey showed.
About two-thirds of the new
cars bought by two-car families
are bought on installment credit,
the survey showed, and more than
three-fourths of the used cars are
purchased on credit. The Univer
sal C.I.T. executive rated the
credit standing and financial re
sponsibility of the state’s typical
two-car family unusually high.
in general, the state’s families
“graduate” into the two-car class
by keeping their “old” car instead
of trading when they get the new
one. A smaller proportion buys
a used car as a second car.
Another result of the trend is a
surge in the popularity of station
wagons, “small” cars and conver
tibles, the survey showed.

State Nimrods
Must Purchase
Bird Stamps
Second only to the announce
of the coming hunting season
dates; the new law requiring
hunters to secure a special $1.00
upland bird stamp is of primary
importance to Nebraska nimrods.
This special upland game bird
stamp will have to be purchased
and attached to individual hunter’s
permits with their signature
written in ink on the face of the
stamp. No hunter over 16 years
of age can hunt either quail or
warm insurance against
winter weather

In the original conception of
the upland game bird stamp ideas
were borrowed from similar plans
in other states. Michigan and
Missouri both require special
stamps for trout fishing; and
Kansas requires a special stamp
for quail hunting..
Revenue obtained by the Game
Commission from the sales of the
$1.00 stamp are to be used for pro
pgation and restoration of upland

state law.
The stamps will be available by
