The Heart Sunday appeal, which has been endorsed by ' Omaha religious leaders, will more completely cover the Omaha area than last year when 3.700 women collected $37,000. With a goal of $42,000, the volunteers led by Heart Sunday Chairman, Mrs. Irving Benolken, will each cover 15 to 20 homes on their bljck between 2-4 p.m. Volunteers will have three identify materials: a lapel name tag, a brown “Heart Sunday Volunteer Kit,” and small brown contribu tion envelopes. Mrs. Benolken said that volunteers have been instructed to give everyone a courtesy receipt. The specific amount of the gift can be added if needed for income tax purposes. “All Heart Sunday gifts should be considered an investment in behalf of yourself, your family and your community,” stated Mn. Benolken. She pointed out 53 percent of Omaha’s deaths are caus ed by heart and blood vessel diseases. ‘Hte Heart Sunday Chairman said that volunteers will take their collections to the nearest fire station, where booths are to be man ned by Lions Club members. Police cruisers will transport the money from fire stations to the central counting headquarters at the Omaha National Bank. Mobile units of the Ak-Sar-Ben Radio Club will maintain a com munications network for the Heart Sunday Army. Mrs. Benolken asked everyone to observe the campaign slogans: “Help the Heart Fund—Help Your Heart” and “Welcome Your Heart Sunday volunteer, February 26th” Homes missed by the blockworkers should phone RE-9114. Eitha* Radio Club members or American Legion volunteers will pick up the contributions, said Mrs. Benolken. From Around Nebraska The merchants at Central City are worrying about a let-down in the volume of business being done there and the City Council, fearing that perhaps the parking meters in the town were driving people elsewhere, have declared a 90-day suspension of their use. The business men are also discussing returning to diagonal park ing so that more cars can be accommodated in each block. The Central City Non-Pareil noted that there were a number of va cant business houses in the town which was laid to the shortage of business. Said Mayor E. H. Phares of the situation: “Central City needs business. Let’s show our friends that we are ready and willing to go to whatever lengths are necessary to make them comfortable while here and. convenient to do their shopping.” • • * The Albion News headlined a big highway meeting which is to take place at Burwell, Nebraska, March 2nd. Albion has taken considerable interest in the development of Highway 91 across the entire state. The route now runs into a dead end near Al bion and that community is boosting hard to have the highway opened and continued to Burwell where it would join Highway No. 53 and No. 2. Although Highway 91 crosses Washington County from Fon tanelle to Blair, there hasn’t been much interest generated locally In the route. The lengthened highway could become quite a traffic attraction to Blair and the Albion boosters are worthy of some support, from the east end of the route. • • • South Sioux City has undergone a series of mysterious fires in recent weeks and the Dakota County Star suggests that per haps an arsonist is at work in the community. Four vacant houses have burned in the past two months. All four of the homes have been within a radius of two blocks and all of the fires occurred at night. The latest fire was similar to the others, gutting the in terior of the home thoroughly. The blaze was discovered shortly after midnight w w ^ The Pierce Chamber of Commerce was host to four neighboring towns last Monday evening, according to the Pierce County Lead er. The meeting was designed as a social hour at which all of the towns discussed their Chamber activities and their mutual problems. Pierce merchants joined in the dinner meeting and round table discussion. • • • An entertainment labeled “Promenade of Fashions” was pre- ■ sented in the Neligh High School auditorium last Monday evening. The style show was put on by a woman’s organization to aid the Neligh hospital. Lyle DeMoss, well known Omaha Master of Cere- 1 monies, took charge of the production. A tea served in the audi torium followed the style show. • • • The Garden County News, printed at Oshkosh, Nebraska, has reported an allotment of $10,250 for the Oshkosh Airport for im provements. The financial aid came from the Federal civil aero nautics board, the News stated. Plans for use of the money was not revealed. • • • Concordia Teachers College at Seward has been preparing a sound filmstrip setting forth some of the more important things ! about the college, for use in promotional work. The Seward ! County Independent revealed last week that a copy of the film ! is being seEt to the American Library in Copenhagen, Denmark , and to the American Embassy, in Oslo, Norway. It is planned to show the folks in Europe some of the things about Concordia. • • • The City Council at Wahoo has awarded paving contracts for j $25,000 worth of street surfacing, the Wahoo Newspaper reported last week. The job Was bid jon by five contractors and went for more $6,000 under the estimate of the city’s engineers. Most of the pavement will be in the residential area near Luther college. The pavement will be 6-inch concrete. It seems that every town worries about some other town business away from it. Blair worries about Fremont and ^ Omaha and Aurora, it seems, worries about Grand Island. An Aurora hardware store ran a poem in its ad last week in {he Aurora News-Register. Words to the poem had been intended to fit the new songhit “Sixteen Tons” and while the rhythm wasn’t just correct, it got the “trade in Aurora” idea across. The poem went like this: You shop 16 stores and what do you get, A pair of tired feet—and you’re more confused yet. So, Grand Island don’t you call me, cause I can’t come, I owe all my loyalty to the Aurora Stores. You deal with 16 clerks—none you’ve ever met They use high pressure salesmanship and watch you sweat, So, Grand Island don’t you call me, cause I can’t come, I owe my loyalty to the Aurora Stores. • * • Mailmen at West Point are being outfitted in the new postal service uniforms which are now being made available. The new uniforms are blue-gray with maroon stripes and shoulder patches which carry the official emblem of the Postal Department and a pony express rider. The West Point Republican pictured the men in their new attire in last week’s paper. * * * Chadron is planning a Business-Farmer Day on March 1st. The day is quite similar to the Farm and Home day held each year at Blair except that the Chadron men have added a number of tours through the local businesses so that the men from the farms might have a better insight of what goes on in town and some of the problems which face the businessmen. A smorgas bord luncheon was served at the Chadron Teachers College cafe teria to all who cared to attend at a cost of 85c, the Chadron Record stated. • • • Although Spring hasn’t even started yet, the Saunders county fair board is already making plans for next fall’s show. The board has announced an open meeting for March 1st at which time mem bers of extension clubs and others have been invited to attend and give them ideas for improving the 1956 fair. The meeting will be held in Wahoo. * • • Basketball fans at Ogallala got a first-hand play by play description of the game'played with Cozad last Friday, when a direct wire broadcast was arranged. The detailed account was received in the ballroom at the Elks club where fans of the Ogalla la team were admitted free, the Keith County News announced in a front page box last week. Guest Editorial A Guest Editorial By Dr. O. A. Kostal of Hastings, President, Nebraska Heart Association We in Nebraska face a chal lenge in the heart and blood ves sel diseases—a challenge which can be met by you through the : current Heart Fund Drive. I These cardiovascular diseases— ! primarily hardening of arteries, high blood pressure, and rheu matic fever afflict more than 80,000 Nebraskans. They account l for 54 percent of all our deaths, | according to all the latest avail j able data (1954). Even the one third of these deaths which occur below age 65 is greater than the next leading cause of death. And it is even more striking to realize ' that rheumatic fever caused sev en times as many deaths as polio among our young people (141 vs 20 - 1954). The Nebraska Heart Associa tion is your only voluntary a gency devoted exclusively to the problems of the heart and blood vessel diseases. You can share in the fight -against “heart dis ease” through the Heart Fund and its house-to-house appeal on Sunday, February 26th, 2-4 P.M. Yur support is urgently needed. Your contribution will further the Research, Public and Profes sional Education, and Community Service Programs of the Nebaska and American Heart Association. Your contribution will be an in vestment in your own heart as well as in the lives of others. The Nebraska Heart Fund drive will be a success and eventual conquest of heart disease brought a bit closer with your observance of the campaign slogans—“Wei come Your Heart Sunday Volun teer, Feb. 26th and “Help the Heart Fund—Help Your Heart.

Hats This Year Show Much Change By Eva Mae Davis Possibly the strongest state ment that ever started off a Vogue Shppmg list. You have to put the new deep set hat on your head before you can begin to approach 1956 fashion. On this hat—which was the straw in the wind in Paris last autumn— every good new American look now hinges. It’s changing the whole line of the silhouette, and because it has flattery and vari ety, too, it’s making the little no hat hat as rare as horses in An gola. New hats are tall or wide, or they may bulk big in both those directions; find the shape that becomes you best, and follow only one rule: it must tilt, alluringly, toward the eyebrow str;Jght down or angled. If your money won’t manage more than a single hat,—buy, don’t play it safe. Pick the most exciting, most decorative shape you can find, and wear it in every thing from city tweeds (slender) to short dinner dresses (the sheath cuts.) A lambourine made entirely of vividly flavored ribbon would make a wonderful one—hat hat wardrobe; so would a plump little hassock of dark silk violets. The woman who can afford more than one hat is in for the hat year of her life, this year. Starting with the new tulle wrap ped straw toques for town suits, she can run the whole exciting range—for late day, perhaps a turban of turquoise chiffon and velvet; and late of an evening. I possibly one of those silk chrysan themum hats that comes in lovely unearthly colors. What makes the new hat look so new is the whole new look it makes—you can’t stop' at the eye brow and call it fashion today. Under the hat’s deep-set bulk, the coiffure must be sleeker, closer—sweeping the hair up and back is one good new line to take. Then, the figure must look slighter, littler, slim to the toe tips. And here again, slender ness is a fashion with great var iety. (Quote the Vogue) Henry C. Smith Mr. Henry C.
