How do you look? The first impression you make on anyone — particularly someone you approach for a job — is based on your appearance. Check your dress and grooming carefully. Are you personally clean? Are you dressed appropriately for the job for which you are applying? Dress conservatively in a simple suit for men, or a suit or tailored dress for women. Leave your school or “after five” clothes at home and dress like a business girl or man. Girls should avoid wearing excessive makeup and jewelry. Neatness of dress and hair, taste, and personal cleanliness are indications of your work habits. Often good prospects are lost because the applicant forgets these things. If you are applying for a blue-shirt job, the way you are dressed is not such an important factor BUT you may be certain the inter viewer or “boss" will check for cleanliness and neatness. How to act before the interview ... Your interview really begins the moment you enter the office, where you are met by a receptionist or secretary. Go alone; don’t let your friends or parents accompany you. Wait your turn patiently. Don’t fidget, chew gum, or smoke excessively. Be polite if you are ad dressed, but don’t talk too much. You will be surprised how often the secretary or receptionist is asked “What did you think of that appli cant?” The interview... The interviewer will ask you a number of questions. Answer them directly and truthfully. Use good English and avoid slang. Don’t inter rupt. Look at your interviewer while he questions you. Sell your qualifications for the job rather than your need of work. Be your most agreeable self during the interview, for getting along well with others is a part of every job. Be as poised as possi ble. Do not play with your tie, rings, or pencils. Remember that the letters and papers on the interviewer’s desk are his personal property. Don’t try to read them! Leave your gum and cigarettes in your pocket. Don’t tell jokes and don’t be OVERLY friendly. Be yourself. At the close of the interview, thank the interviewer for the oppor tunity of talking with him. It’s a good idea to ask, as you leave, “May I call you in a few days?” If you are fortunate to be referred to a job, express your appreci ation by calling the interviewer and telling him that you were employ ed or that you were not employed and would appreciate further help from him. If you fail to be referred to a job on your first visit, don’t be discouraged. By keeping in contact with the interviewer and prov ing your sincere desire for work, you will receive every consideration in securing employment. News From Around Nebraska Lexington, which has just switched over to dial telephones, is installing a special short wave radio system for its firemen. Each fireman, under the new system, would have a short wave receiver in his home or place of business which would inform fire men when there is a fire call. The sets are about the size of a small table radio, are tuned to but one frequency and are said to be quite inexpensive. They require no aerial and operate on a very small amount of current. A broadcasting set would be located at the city fire station. The Dawson County Herald showed a pic ture of the new equipment last week. * * * The Lyons area is to be served by a new rescue truck which has been purchased by the Rural Fire Protection District sur rounding Lyons. The new truck is a closed panel job and will carry resusitators, medical supplies and all types of first aid equipment. The truck will be manned by members of the Lyons Volunteer Fire Department in much the same manner that the regular fire trucks are operated. The Lyons Mirror-Sun showed a picture of the new unit last week. • • * At Central City a new school cafeteria is in use. The cafe teria furnishes a hot lunch for the school children at a cost price, thereby eliminating the lunch pail problem for rural students and providing a convenience for town children who have a distance to go. School officials anticipate serving about 250 lunches per day, according to the Central City Republican-NonPareil. * * * While most folks are experiencing water shortages, a farmer in the Madison area has just dug two wells on his farm and both of them have turned out to be flowing wells. The situation is considered very unusual, especially in a dry year such as has been prevailing. A well driller in the area, who says that he has dug a thousand wells, has never struck two flowing wells in succession before. • • • The business houses at Aurora held a window unveiling Tues day evening of this week. The affair started off with festivities at 6:30 P.M. An American Legion Drum and Bugle Corps pro vided a program. At 7:30 the High School band was to play and students of the Aurora High School were to stage a snake dance and pajama parade. Promptly at 8 P.M. the windows were unveiled. There were 80 prizes given to those who could estimate the value of merchan dise in the windows. At the same time, business houses, them selves, were competing in a window decorating contest. Prizes were a traveling plaque and ribbons. The Aurora News-Register gave considerable emphasis to the show in last week’s issue. • • • Enrollment at the Chadron State Teachers College this year is 435, according to the Chadron Record. This is an increase over last year which showed an enrollment of 402. * * • A housemover at Ord found himself in an embrassing posi tion last week when his outfit broke down right in the middle of Ord’s main business block. A house was being moved down the street when a tire on one of the trucks under the house blew out. The blowout was followed by the collapse of a wheel which put the whole outfit out of commission for several hours. The inci dent took place right on the Ord City Square and traffic had to be c detoured while repairs were being made. The house in the center of main street created a most unusual sight, according to the Ord Quiz which photographed the incident. • • • The Fairbury Journal reports enrollment at Fairbury college at 192 this year. This was an increase from last year’s 165. Also in the news at Fairbury this week was a deer which was found early one morning strolling through one of the Fairbury neighborhoods. The deer was discovered when a Fairbury man heard footsteps outside his bedroom window. He looked out anticipating a prowler and discovered the deer quietly looking over the lawn. The animal stayed around for quite a time, visit ing several neighborhoods before bounding out into the country again. The Journal also revealed last week that the Fairbury swim ming pool made a profit of $1600 this year, which is one of the best years the pool has ever had. * * • Wahoo, which has been undecided about parking rules for a number of months, has finally rejected the idea of 2 hour parking Instead, they are back to parking meters again The Wahoo Newspaper gave as reason for rejecting the 2-hour parking limit idea, the great amount of work that would be need ed to mark the tires regularly. The Council there estimated that Wahoo would need one additional policeman for the work of mark ing. • * * Luther College, at Wahoo, has enrolled 145 this year com pared to 129 last year, the Wahoo Newspaper reported last week. * • * Community workers at Pierce have already met and made plans for Halloween there. In place of the usual Tricks or Treats, the youngsters will gather funds for the United Nations Interna tional Children’s Emergency Fund. Following the round of the houses, there will be an entertainment and treats provided by the civic agencies. * * * Atkinson was without telephone service for 8 hours one day last week. A short time prior to the “blackout" a hole had been dug for a power pole in an alley near the telephone building. Because the ground was dry and hard, the diggers had filled the hole with water to soak up the ground. At some time during the digging process, the telephone cable which was alongside the hole, was nicked by a shovel. The water in the hole trickled into the cable and shorted out the entire system. Locating the place of trouble required considerable time and after that the cable had to be uncovered and dried out before service could be restored again. * * • The Rock County Leader of Bassett, reports that a Bassett lumber firm has been recognized in a national builder’s organization which is holding a building products exposition at Cleveland, Ohio in October. A photograph of the firm’s new building is to be enlarged to mural size and details of the build ing will be shown. It is said to be one of the best planned .lumber and hardware display houses in America. * • • Jack Lough, editor of the Albion News, sounded off last week over what he terms an unfair “trade” of talent between Albion and Grand Island. It seems that Grand Island some time back conceived the idea that they would stage a high school band affair which they call the “Harvest of Harmony”. They entice bands from all the towns around to spend a day in Grand Island, bringing with them, of course, a lot of parents and others who are interested. The day has developed into an excellent trade day and fall celebration. Editor Lough’s complaint is that Grand Island’s band doesn’t like to reciprocate when the other towns plan a special doings and the smaller communities are beginning to feel that they are be ing “used” to the benefit of their larger neighbor. His complaint sounds reasonable. I Booster ties have made their appearance on the streets of Red Cloud. Sponsored by the Junior Chamber of Commerce, boosters for the Red Cloud Football team are wearing the ties on the days j of home games. • * * The Blue River area near Crete continues to have its trouble, when dry weather and excessive irrigation use took most of the water out of the stream. Now, farmers are finding that for some undetermined reason, the water appears to be poisonous and is killing livestock which drinks it. An analysis of the water is be ing made but the trouble is not yea determined, states the Crete News. Several weeks ago the stream all but dried up completely Globetrotters Are Enjoying A Vacation Chicago — The fabulous Har lem Globetrotters, revised, re vitalized and still remarkable, look forward to their 29th sea son with the same enthusiasm and zest that has made them bas ketball’s greatest attraction through the years. For the next few weeks, Abe Saperstein’s dazzling crew of bas keteers will be on “vacation.” They just recently returned from another highly successful tour of Europe and the Far East, play ing 92 games over the course of the summer. Having completed that 50,000 mile journey, the Globetrotters are now back on home soil. The players are now enjoying a well deserved rest. New Recruits vie But the first week in October they return to Chicago for the annual pre-season drills, at which time Saperstein will look over a big contingent of young candi dates who will be vying for berths on the 1955-56 team. From all indications, the 1955 56 Globetrotters team will be greater than any combination the energetic Saperstein has ever pro duced. He looks forward to the coming season enthusiastically. “We have the greatest array of talent available for the coming season we have ever had,” he said upon his arrival from Eur ope. “While playing overseas, we developed a number of young players who are going to be sen sational. We should have our greatest season this year.” 150 Games Scheduled The Globetrotters are in great er demand than ever before. More thon 150 games have al ready been scheduled from coast to coast. “We’ll be mighty busy this year,” Saperstein said, _ smiling. ‘I’m sure the fans are going to like this team even more than they have those in the past.” The Globetrotters, on Labor Day night at Davenport, la., con cluded their 1954-55 campaign by winning the final of the 12-game utdoor homecoming series from the Honolulu Surfriders of Hawaii. 163 Victories Their twenty-eighth season saw; the Globetrotters register 163 ! consecutive victories during their i regular winter schedule, take the1 World Series, 14 games to 10, J from the College All-Americans, and 92 successive triumphs on a sixth annual summer tour of Europe, North Africa and the Near East ,and whip the Surf riders (their European traveling companions, reinforced in the States by Clyde Lovellette, Joe Graboski, Cal Christensen, Bob; Harrison and Dick Rosenthal) in all 12 games played upon their return from overseas.

Most Southern California disc jockeys who feature Gospel music have played both sides, and spoke in praiseworthy terms of the platter. A scattered few in turn have refrained from using the record because they claimed their listeners would not approve. One station said it planned to play the record and let their lis teners be the judge. For the most part, public re action has been excellent, accord ing to Lillian Cumber, Manager of Herald Attractions, who hand les the Travelers’ bookings. Spe ciality president, Art Rupe, re ports favorable reaction and ex cellent sales throughout the country. J. W. Alexander, Manager of the Pilgrim Travelers, one of America's foremost Gospel sing ing groups, pointed out: “The Bi ble gives proof that reed instru ments similar to the sax, as well as the flute, have been used in religious ceremonies since time immemorial''. He further stated: “It is not unusual for church choirs or Gospel singers to make use of an instrumental back ground. Hoitis, violins, pianos, harps, organs and other musical instruments are commonly used today. This appears to be the main reason for the smattering of anti-comment on our newest recording. Certainly we would be the last group in the world to do anything to offend or desecrate the dignity of Gospel and Spirit ual music. Instead, we feel that we have captured the genuine beat and cadence of Gospel music cn these two sides." According to the Japan***, At empire was founded by Emperor Jimrou Tenno In 880 B.C. ters scored 281 victories while losing 10 games during 1954-55. Their record for 28 seasons now reads 5051 victories against 283 setbacks. Overseas this year the Trotters played in 20 countries. New ones on their itinerary were Isreal, Jugoslavia, Iraq, Iran and Syria. Says Experts Needed In Urban Developments New York,—Since Negro fam ilies are often residing in urban areas selected for clearance and redevelopment, there is “a criti cal need for appointing race re lations officers” to regional of fices of the Urban Renewal Ad ministration, Madison S. Jones, NAACP special assistant for housing, asserts in a letter to James W. Follin, URA commis sioner. “If the program is to make for better communities,” he told the federal official, “certainly [ the greatest of attention should be given to a consideration of the needs of the total community, by experts in the field.” The NAACP spokesman called Be A Hypnotist WRITE Dr. Marcus Bloch, L-Hy.
