There is noth ing so exhiliarating as a round of Christmas shopping with merry greetings tossed back and forth. This year we approach the Christmas season with tragedy in Europe as Hungarians struggle l for freedom and make a stand for human rights. We in Amer- | ica have a feeling of internal se curity that with a national elec tion just over and the nation pro ceeding its steady course in world leadership. Let us be thankful this Christ mas that our loved ones arc safe, that we have a hope for happiness and that tomorrow will be better than yesterday. Gladness is con tagious and Just a wee contact with it can work miracles. The light on a child’s face at Christ mas time is worth all the gold in the world. Remember this, for these are the basic values. NAACP ASKS THAT SITE OF TEXAS INJUNCTION TRIAL BE SHIFTED TYLER, Texas, Decemebr, 14 — A hearing on an NAACP motion to shift the trial which will decide whether a permanent injunction should be issued against it from this city to Austin or Dallas closed here on December 13, after testi mony was heard from the two top officials of the Association. Roy Wilkins, executive secre tary, testified on December 1?, and Thurgood Marshall, special counsel on December Jl and 12. The NAACP is questioning the venue of former proceedings held here, as the result of which a tem porary injunction was issued against Association units in Texas. The NAACP contends that un der Texas laws a corporation such as itself can be sued only in the capital city of the state or in the county in which the corporation's office is located. The NACCP’s main Texas office is situated «n Dallas. Minnesota Team Bids Cage Lead Omaha, Nebraska, December 12 —Runner-up to Western Illinois of Macomb in the first NAIA "Tip Off basketball tournment here a year ago, Gustavus Adolphus col lege of St. Peter, Minnesota, will make a second straight bid for the championship with a team built around sophomore stars. Coach Gus Young lost four starters by graduation and the 6 foot, 7-inch Bill Patterson, Negro forward sensation, through schol astic difficulties, but he is confi dent he has another winner in the making. A year ago he stamped Owen Wallin, a 6-4 forward, and D. L. Smith, 6-2 guard, as "two of the best freshmen I’ve ever coached.” They will be starters this season. Rounding out the first five will be veteran Harvey Goldberg, 6-3 senior, with Wallin at forward; Phil Bellefuil, an outstanding freshman prospect, with Smith at guard, and Bob Freund, a 6-7 cen ter who led Minneapolis Roosevelt High to a state title last spring. Two other lettermen are on the squad, pressing for starting assign ments. Pat Sweeney is an ex-all stater from Minneapolis Wash burn, and Paul Youngdahl, a soph omore, has rebounding strength in his 6-foot, 5-inch frame. Young, one of the most colorful of NAIA coaches, has monopolized honors in small-college competi tion in Minnesota the last three seasons, and team spirit was at a higher pitch at the St. Peter school. “We will play six games before we head for Omaha and I hope we'll be able to correct some of our errors before the tournament opens,” Young said “This is a young team, but it has much promise.” Gustavus will make Its annual trip to Dayton University and Western Kentucky, December 1 and December 3. The team then will play Beloit in the home open er, December 8. before engaging St. Mary's, Macalestcr and Augs burg in conference tests prior to the “Tip Off” event. * l > l > ■ > ; ft * > w - — 1 » < l REED'S ICE CREAM j * . i 3106 No 24th - PL 5200 < } i Hi-Y Club Campaign Is Successful Six members of the Yergan Hi-Y Club of the Near North Branch YMCA was successful in having their Bill passed and signed by Boy Governor Dave Wells, at the 6th Annual Nebras ka YMCA Hi-Y Youth and Gov ernment Program at the State Capitol, Lincoln, Nebraska, on last Saturday.

The counties and the urban areas of the state have not in the past taken full advantage of the Federal Secondary and Urban Funds and the past year the Highway Department was for tunate to have had monies to match these funds or, otherwise, we the people of Nebraska would have lost sufficient revenues un der those allocations.

Topeka Teams To Invade Omaha Plans have been made for the Annual Topeka-Omaha clash of basketball teams on Saturday, December 8, when teams from the Carver Branch of the YMCA, will bring their two representative teams to Omaha. The first game starting at 7 P.M., will bring to gether the Carvettes Girls Team against the Omaha Trotters Girls’ Team. The second game starting at 8 P.M., will pit the Carver Dons against the Omaha Travelers. The Travelers will have such players as Mickey Bowman, Bill Harmon, Anthony Wright and Bob Rose. A social will follow the games with the public being invited. allocations or such funds will re vert to the Federal Government. In previous comments I have attempted to set forth the sources of state revenues to the highway agencies of our state. At this time I would like to quote to you the figures of federal revenues which j are available to Nebraska under | the Federal Highway Act of 1956. i During the period of July 1, 1956 to June 30, 1959, Federal Funds allocated during this period for our Primary System total Seven teen Million Nine Hundred Thous ind Dollars, to our Secondary Road Fund Seven Million Seven I Hundred Thousand Dollars, to the | Interstate System Seventy-Two Million Two Hundred Thousand i Dolars. Of the above amounts j state revenues must be provided j by our State Highway Department ; on a ratio of 50-50 basis on the 1 Primary and Secondary monies. Of the Interstate Federal Aid they must be matched with State Funds on a 90% Federal and 10% Stale basis. In addition to the foregoing monies there is also made avail able under the act the following allocation to counties of Federal Aid Secondary funds in the sum of Eight Million Seven Hundred Thousand Dollars and to the cities under Federal Aid Urban Funds In the amount of four Million Nine Hundred Thousand Dollars which monies must be matched by the counties and cities on a 50-50 basis. Again I say, there is an urgent need at the present time to find a way in which these monies may be matched by the counties and cities. For if they are not then as I stated before, we the people j of Nebraska will forfeit these funds not matched to some other , state, this we surely cannot afford | to let happen. Of our present State Highway System I believe we must strive j and make it our goal to dustless i surface all our highways and bring them up to present day standards and in so doing will ultimately accomplish the following: 1. Reduce our traffic deaths due to the hazards now en countered on. our present dirt and gravel roads. 2. Reduce maintenance cost which in turn will make more monies available for more construction and im provement. 3. And for the economic values and your convenience and driving comfort. Today it is my belief that we are on the threshold of some im pressive doings in the highway field. Each year with the excep tions of war years, the pressure has built up for a realistic pro gram to correct the ever mounting deficiencies on our streets and roads. Since World War II the Better Road Movement has been, greatly stimulated by the unpre cedented growth in the automo bile and truck population. More and more vehicles ' have been crowding our “horse and buggy" roads and our narrow and highly inadequate city streets, the re sult being a great loss of human lifes and an economic loss which runs into the billions of dollars. There is a need at this time at the Veterans Administration Hos pital, Omaha, Nebraska, for per sons qualified for the oo-dtion of Dental Assistant, $3175.00 per year. Employee benefits include sick and annual leave privileges, low cost life insurance, an excellent retirement plan, standard 40-hour work week, and periodic pay in creases based on satisfactory service. Persons interested in any of these positions should get in touch immediately with the Civil Service representative at th local Post Office for applicaion blanks and further information.
