Thomas A. Brooks, who has served as his city’s chief administra tive officer so ably and so long he is widely known over California is now 70. That’s retirement age, by San Francisco ordinance. But Thomas Brooks didn’t want to leave his job. He felt capable as ever, and saw no reason why he should quit doing what he loved to do for his community. It turned out that everyone else in San Francisco, including Mr. Brooks’ fellow city officials, felt as he did. So, all together, they cut some red tape. An amendment to the retirement ordinance was draft ed to permit Mr. Brooks to continue in the city’s service. He had to retire, draw out all his pension fund contributions, and then be re appointed to the post by the mayor. While all this attests Thomas Brooks' high calibre as a public servant, and reflects the good sense of his community, it also makes iron-clad rules for retirement seem ridiculous. No doubt some men age earlier than others; in fact, some men seem born a little slowed up. Yet there’s Tom Brooks—and a lot more like him, on the job and loving it, and the heck of the years. A Plea To Be Heeded “If we are interested in survival as a State whose potential for development has scarcely been tapped, we must discard the short sighted view which has engaged us in a virtual civil war over water— which is vital to the development of all parts at the State.” That forthright declaration, made before a meeting of the agricul ture committee of the California State Chamber of Commerce, by State Controller Robert C. Kirkwood, is one with which every civic minded Californian, where Be lives and works, may heartily agree. North and south, east and west, the problem of water is with us all, and must be soWed by all sections, working together for the com mon good. There is no other way. — America's Superabundance America's Horn of Plenty has the Federal Government hanging on the horns of a dilemma. President Eisenhower reported to Con gress recently that during the six months ending June 30, the United States had sold or given away $l,264,80p;000 worth of surplus farm products. That should have made quite a dent in our bulging store houses. But it still left Uncle Sam holding the bag with 8.5 billion dollars in surplus commodities. Of this huge total, 6.1 billion dollars was owned outright by Uncle and another 2.4 billion dollars was held as security against price support loans. Under the 1954 law the Government may sell surpluses abroad for foreign currency, make relief donations to friendly countries, barter abroad for strategic i materials and give surpluses to welfare organizations and needy per-j sons in the U. S. But as fast as we get rid of the stuff there is more to take its place. For every bushel of wheat or bale of cotton, thati goes out another comes in. And, unfortunately, there is no end in sight. News From Around Nebraska Most of the weekly newspapers of Nebraska headlined the Tuesday election last week. Considering the prominence given the election in the newspapers, on television and on the radio, there should be no one who was not awear of the need to vote. It was interesting to note the varying degrees of enthusiasm over the voting. Quite a number of newspapers predicted a light vote A few forecast a heavy turnout. Some expressed themselves on the Constitutional Amendment! but most of the editors went down the middle of the road, explaining the bills and allowing their readers to make tip their own minds. • • • — Only one unpleasant campaigning experience appeared in the newspapers scanned this week. Representative Bob Harrison was booed and attacked with tomatoes and eggs at Hubbard. Nebraska, and run out of town. Hubbard, a small community in Dakota County, claims a few ardent Democrats who didn’t like the idea of Harrison, who is a Republican, campaigning there. Harrison was attempting to make - a speech when the incident occurred. A few tomatoes had been thrown when one mis-fired and accidentally hit a member of the audience. The ill feeling then flared into a full-fledged fight Harrison promptly ended his speech but before he could get out of town his car was well splattered with eggs and tomatoes. He drove to Dakota City where be stopped at a service station to have his car washed. The Dakota County Sheriff and some nearby Highway Patrolmen were called to quell the “uprising.” * • • Bean Soup day, which was held at Wahoo last week-end, waa a roaring success, the Wahoo Newspaper revealed. The soup, served by the restaurants, served 2.671 bowls of soup. Shoppers In Wahoo got the soup free, the Chamber of Commerce picking up the slip for the coat of the soup. • • • At the west edge of Paxton, adjacent to Highway 30. an authentic sod house is being built which will bouse a museum for that community. Twelve volunteer workers are erecting the house which is using over 100 tons of sod. Next summer the house will become a tourist attraction and a curu> shop, and museum One room of the house will be fitted out in authentic pioneer style, reports the Keith County News at OgallaJa • • • An irrigation project on the Little Blue river aeer Fairbury la being considered, according to the Fairbury Journal.

Sub-irrigation from the river apparently figured heavily in the good yield. • • • Hunters in Sherman County near Loup City report pheasant hunting to be poor this year. Dry weather has made the birds hunt for food and they have become more alert to the presence of hunters. Most of the hunters have a hard time getting the limit of three, reports the Sherman County Times. Duck hunting, on the other hand has been the best in years in the Loup City area with hunters getting their daily limit easily and bagging a few geese in addition, • • • The county board in Valley County at Ord was confronted with an unusual situation last week. Suppliers of road culverts and bridge supplies ganged up on the supervisors and submitted identical bids for material. The coup was the result of an an nouncement on the part of the Supervisors that they would call for bids on material rather than buying on the open market without bids. The board, after considerable discussion, decided to throw out all bids and call for new figures. The purchase im mediately contemplated was about $7000 worth of steel culverts. * • • The Public Mirror at Araphoe revealed an unusual incident last week which was an outgrowth of a tornado which struck the area. A farm couple had gone into their cave to await the pass ing of the storm and the tornado struck their home. The house was lifted off its foundation and deposited squarely over the doorway of the cave, preventing those within from getting out. After three and one-half hours, neighbors found them. A hole was chopped in the floor of one of the rooms, permitting the trapped occupants of the cave to escape. Decanters Beautify Home Bars By The Pvbliek*r Hostess** Excerpt for the absent-minded professor who is undisturbed by mis-mated shoes, most of us like a certain amount of orderliness in the things around us. Our esthetic sense demands that our earrings match, that our ta bles be set with dishes of the same pattern, and that our furni ture be coordinated in line and color even if it doesn't follow exactly the same design. And whoever saves one glove after its mate is lost? One way in which the perfect hostess reflects her own good taste is by achieving the well matched look in party accessories. And one of the nation's largest distillers has come to her air by helping her match up the bottles on her cocktail table. P u blicker Distillers Products is bottling its alcoholic beverage in smart Matched Set decanters that make up a five-piece unit designed to replace the hodge podge of bottle sizes and shapes we’ve put up with for so long. Each decanter carries a per manent label identifying its con tents: gin, vodka, rye, bourbon and whiskey. Publicker’s own brand names (Dixie Belle Gin, Cavalier Vodka, Rittenhouse Rye, : Old Hickory Bourbon, Embassy Club Fine Whiskey and Philadel phia Blend) are on removable labels so that the decanters can stay in use long after the original contents are gone. The hostess with the matched pearls now can fill her matching glasses with potables from match ing decanters. Decanters of bourbon, rye and whiskey are part of the Matched Set of six decanters, created ex clusively for Publicker Distillers Products, Inc. Vodka, gin and bourbon are the other liquors available in the new matched de canters which will add beauty to home bars. The brand labels for Rittenhouse Rye, Philadelphia Blend, Old Hickory Bourbon, Em bassy Club, Dixie Belle Gin and Cavalier Vodka are pressure-sen sitive and easily lift off. Generic labels of heavily-embossed gold, remain permanently on bottle. Methodist Churchman Speaks Kansas City, Mo. — "Leaders of the Negroes in The Methodist Church have felt the only way they could solve racial tensions and build democracy was through cooperative effort", Bishop Mat thew W. Clair. Jr., of St Louis told the more than 200 Methodists who attended an interracial con ference here In the Grand Avenue Methodist Church, October 23-24. “It is not as dramatic a role as standing apart and fighting for the rights of the racial groups" continued the St Louis prelate, who is the resident bishop of the St. Louis Area of the Central (Negro) Jurisdiction of the de nomination. "In early years, the problem was that of inigenous leadership. Now a new issue is breaking down the barriers within the church.” The meeting was one of a ser ies of such meetings sponsored by the churches general Board of Social and Economic Relations in cooperation with the bishops of a given region. The Kansas City conference brought together, in nearly equal numbers, Negro and white leaders from Missouri Kansas and Nebraska. Beyond the obvious fellowship value in such a conference, dele gates eaplored specific problems in race relations and integration They concentrated on near-at hand applications of the princi ples they dlscuaoed. The seven workshop groups held their dis cussions in *ke nearby Methodist Publishing House building. Among the problems faced in these workshop* w*re neat steps in integration of the Central West Conference (Negro) and other conferences; Methodist strategy In the city, prohletn* of housing, education and how to prepare people far change The worktbops came up with did outline some positive sugges tions for furthering interracial understanding in the region be ing studied. Typical of many practical recommendations were these: —That in communities of changing racial constituency, the pastor should hold before his church and community the Chris tian values that are to guide any action which the church should take.—The church should minister to the neighborhood rather than a particular group. —All Methodist churches should have an “open door” policy and carry forward a positive program inclusive nature of the gospel of evangelism, witnessing to the directed to all men. —Scholarship requirements in colleges should be examined with the view to making scholarships available to qualified Indian or Mexican, as well as Negro and white, students. The high moment for many of the conference waa an interracial communion service by the Rev. Dudley Ward of Chicago, general secretary of the Boa *d of Social and Economic Relations.

"Remember that prompt action can mean a complete cure in three out of every four cases,”; ——---j Bishop Eugene M. Frank of the Missouri Area and Bishop Clair. From the keynote address of Mr. Ward to the final message given by Thurgood Marshall, gen eral counsel of the National As sociation for the Advancement of Colored People, the conference heard frank talks about the in tegration. At this point Bishop Clair had a reassuring word: "We make a mistake to think of the solution in terms of our own ability instead of the power that may be ours if we allow God to help us solve the problem.” Mr. Marshall told the confer ence that the problem of race relations must get “out of the resolution stage and over into the community action stage." • • • • Chicago, 111. — Bishop Matthew W.
