We would like to be optimistic about the proposed Federal school aid bill passing with a rider barring funds from school districts and counties refusing to desegregate as the U. S. Supreme Court decreed, but it looks very much like the bag is being readied for us to hold. Undoubtedly the controversial rider introduced by Representative Adam C. Powell will get a large Republican and out-of-the-South Dem ocrat vote in the House of Representatives, and the lower chamber may even pass it, but the prospect of the Senate doing so seems un fortunately to be remote. Not only are the segregationists in Congress opposed to the rider, but also the President, the Welfare Department, the various big edu cation associations, the building industry and the building trades unions, for all of whom this close-to-two-billion dollars is a windfall. President Eisenhower displaying remarkable ambivalence supports the Supreme Court ukase against segregated public schools on the one hand while on the other he insists that “there should be nothing that is put on this thing that delays. . . construction.” The segregationists are all for this big Federal handout because, knowing that whether or not they desegregate their public schools, the the amount of building to be done is extensive and costly, and this appropriation will take them off the hook. Then, this is a Presidential election year, and political wiseacres in the GOP ranks feel that passage of a huge education appropriation will tend to offset the probable loss of votes as a result of the Supreme Court’s desegregation decree. Of course, House Minority Leader Joe Martin can blandly assert that he is confident of the measure’s passage in the House with the rider attached, but so astute a politician as he must know that a Senate filibuster will kill it The construction and AFL-CIO lobbies have been fighting like mad behind the scenes against the Powell rider because the former sees very big contracts in nearly two billions of dollars of new business, while the latter sees more construction jobs and a fat increase in initia tion and membership fees, if the law passes with on rider. The education associations, who have also decried the anti-segre gation rider, are not unmindful of the advantages to the profession of thousands of new schools, meaning many more jobs on all levels. The galling thing about this is that even those who favor public school desegregation will have to go along with whatever laws is pass ed and help finance the project because they have no choice, and that means most Negroes and a large proportion of whites. So, we fear that those of us who applaud, and support, the U. S. Supreme Court desegregation decree, are going to be left holding the bag. From Around Nebraska From time to time, Blair has dreamed of new payrolls and businesses for the community. Oddly enough, no one has given much consideration to a creamery although similar businesses have been highly successful at Tekamah, Lyons and numerous other places. / Less than 25 miles away is the creamery at Logan, Iowa which last week held its annual meeting with an attendance of 950 persons. The Logan creamery is another which has been successful and the report given to the stockholders revealed that in spite of drouth conditions the creamry produced 62,000 pounds more butter in '55 than it did in ’54. Total amount of butter produced was 1,7233,121 pounds, and the gross business done by the creamery was in excess of $980,000. Milk producers in the area were paid $14,000 in dividends over and above the regular amount given them for their cream. A marked fox was, killed last week by a hunter near Scrib ner. The fox had ears in which V-shaped notches had been cut, the Scribner Rustler reported. It is presumed the fox had been in captivity while young and had escaped to resume his life as a wild animal. The same hunter reported that a short time prior to killing the fox, he had caught a coon which was wearing a collar. The newspaper is seeking information about the collar to determine how far the coon might have traveled from his captors. • • • • A style show, recently staged at Neligh for the benefit of the community hospital, netted $1,300 in proceeds, the Neligh Leader reported last week. The big affair turned out to be a social highlight of the year. Lyle DeMoss of Omaha was the Master of Ceremonies. Sixty-four models strutted their stuff. They were recruited from Neligh, Clearwater, Ewing, Tilden, Orchard, Omaha, Petersburg and numerous other places. • • * * Last week the City Council at Central City ordered the use of Parking Meters abandoned for 90 days to see if the 5c park ing fee was having any effect on business there. So during that time, the police department slipped the heads off the meter poles and put them into storage. All of this happened just in time for the merchants to use the meter poles as standards for their flags and on Washington’s birthday the streets were lined with flags stuck into the poles. It was a sample of American ingenuity at work. • • • • The City Council at South Sioux City is asking for bids on a water improvement program which will cost an estimated $154,000, the Dakota County Star reports. Work will be rushed on the project to provide water for the coming summer months. • * * • At Pawnee City, voters defeated a school bond election by a narrow margin last week. The $250,000 bond issue was voted down. Those favoring amounted to 53% of the votes cast and the law requires 55% on bond issues. The proposal may be presented again, the Pawnee Republi can stated.

A Proposed Constitution (First Draft) SPECIAL NOTE The constitution submitted here for your consideration has been limited, as you will note, to the parts most essential for basic organization and operation.

TOOL SENSE The “do it yourself” hobby which is sweeping the country means a lot of happy, worth-while hours spent with materials and tools, but there is the attendant danger that one may be injured in one way or another. The mis use of hand tools, is the cause of many injuries, some of them quite serious. The National Safety Council lists four “failures” that cause most of the injuries which result from the use of hand tools. 1. Failure to use the proper tool for the job to be done. 2. Failure to use a tool as it ought to be used. 3. Failure to Keep tools in pro per condition. 4. Failure to keep tools in their proper places when not in use. Tools should be kept in good condition. Wood handles should be firm and smooth, made from straight-grained material, and securely attached. Blades should be kept sharp and have proper angles, because sharp tools are safer and more efficient than dull ones. Dull tools may slip, stick, or slide and cause accidents or injuries. Replace split, broken, or sharp-edged handles. Avoid splinters and other wounds. Don’t fail to get first aid for any cut or scratch, no matter how slight. Either a chest or a rack is good for the storage of tools, but which ever type of storage arrangement is used, tools should be handled carefully when being removed or replaced. Carry any cutting tool with the blade facing down ward. Always cut away from you when using a knife. Do not use any substitute for a hammer. When driving nails, start the nail with a few light taps, then remove your hand and proceed. In addition to the hand tools, much powered machinery is now being used, even for the more simple tasks, and this needs to be handled with great care. When. you increase your ma chinery, you need to also increase operational care for the same de gree of safety. At Ogallala a Ground Observers building has been erected on top of a hotel building. The “observatory” has double glass windows and is to be equipped with heat, lights, telephone, radio and furniture. It is believed to be one of the best in the state— • • • • The oil fever is booming in Garden County in the Oshkosh vicinity. The Garden County News carried three double-column headlines last week telling about new oil leases being sought, an oil drilling project which is now going on and an oil drilling out fit which is just moving into the area. Garden county, in case a map is not handy, is located east and north of Sidney where the big oil strike has been going for several years. ’jVWSICALjk A Tempo Exclusive Uncovers Capitol Hill's Scandal: 1. A Midwestern Senator, whose ; constituents are 90 percent gas users, voted with the natural gas lobby to increase his constitu ents’ gas bills. The same Senator did not get an outright bribe, but he was given a stock tip-—inside information from the oil and gas boys. He invested in the stock whose value quadrupled almost overnight. 2. A p r ominent Democratic Senator took a host of relatives and friends with him on a Euro- j pean pleasure jaunt at the tax payers’ expense. He left his son behind in Spain with written authorization to draw taxpayers’> money from the U. S. embassy, j The young man withdrew $1,000 worth of Spanish pesos, came back the next day for more. Before he left, he had spent $4,500 in government money for wine, wo men and souvenirs. 3. A Republican Senator put his brother on the public payroll j for two years and paid the college tuition of two young friends from government funds. None of them did a lick of work for the taxpay ers, though the Senator claimed the two college boys were “in vestigating Communist infiltra tion on the campus.” There are a half do'zen other examples just as bad. Probably the biggest scandal is the lavish squandering of government “coun terpart” money over-seas. The result has been free-spending binges. Some of Congress’ most notorious penny-pinchers, once they’ve passed the U. S. boundar ies, act as if their, cost conscien ces were held up at the border. One Senate employee who has seen the counterpart vouchers, speaking in great secrecy to TEMPO, estimated that last year’s 231 junketing Congressmen spent over $350,000 in counterpart funds. How many Congressmen take these free vacations at the tax payers’ expense? Who are they? The taxpyaer can find out. TEMPO tells the best way to put j a stop to this in the March 6th issue.

But locate it properly, advises the American Aociation of Nurs erymen. Location of the outdoor living space is a matter of convenience. If you wish regularly to serve food there, it should be near tha kitchen and have partial shade; for picnicking it may be further back on the property. Fot- cleen ing and resting, it should be in the quietest location, with shrubs and trees used for sound barriers. For sun bathing it must be pri vate, and where you get the most un. Study your property for the best outdoor living site. Once located you can make the outdoor living space private and beautiful with shrubs and trees. Flowers, like roses and o'her per ennials, that you cut for the table ard at the same time per fume the outdoor living room are an added incentive to healthy, outdoor living and family enioy ment. People who hurry ttmourb tj,;s life met death that much earlier. When you contribute to the Heart Fund, you are helning in the fight against the heart dis eases which constitute the na tion’s leading health problem. Prof. Ernest Brennecke of Co-; lumbia University is credited with the discovery of a sentance that can be made to have eight differ- ! ent meanings by placing the word J “Only” in all possible positions > in the sentence: “I hit him in the ’ eye yesterday.” Large Trees Valued As Tourist Assets Large and colorful street trees are a valuable tourist asset to many cities and towns and any tendancy to supplant them with 1 Sfnall specimens will result in severe financial losses to the communities, warns the Ameri can Association of Nurserymen. Tourist travel in many sections of the country is dependent upon | the splendor of the flowers and foliage of many large trees. With out them in New England, New York, and Pennsylvania, for ex ample, tourist travel in the fall month when the foliage is bril liant would be sharnlv reduced. The same is true of the magno lias and the live oaks of the south, the sweet gums, and other large jcolorful trees, as well as many staunch trees of the west and midwest that attract visitors at various seasons of the vear. Lar^e trees impart a feeling of stability and permanence to a town, a varmtv of growth which attracts tourist dollars to local m»rchants. and colorful displays which are incomparable. Jane Russell and Cab Calloway On Person-To-Person" March 2nd Edward R.
