Money and Divorce
A United Press survey as to the principal cause of divorce
brought this answer from judges, clergymen and attorneys — money.
Often it’s a case of not enough money; often it’s a continuing
argument on how money should be spent. The two are not unrelated.
But if the money problem results in a divorce it also results in making
the money problems even worse, for then there are two households,
not one, to maintain.
Since money is so vital a factor, however, in married life, the
handling of it should be given greater attention. The fact is that
more often than not, it isn’t an actual shortage of money that causes
the trouble, but inept or careless handling of it. Frequently a family
has only a vague notion of where the money goes.
Two things can definitely be done to make money a servant in
stead of a master. One is for a family to lay out a reasonable buget
with fixed—but not too high—allotment for savings. Maybe the bud
get won’t permit the family to have everything it wants, but it will
help it to have what it needs and to get more pleasure out of what it
gets.
A second thing is to pay bills by bank check so that „a closer
watch on the outgo of the family income can be maintained. At the
end of the month the cancelled checks tell the story and show where
the loopholes are.
Of course, there are many other causes for divorce—drunkenness,
Jealousy, religious differences and the like but money, say the experts,
is the chief villian in one way or another.
An Overdose of Fear
Writing in Life Magazine, not long ago, Dr. George Crille, Jr.,
1 surgeon at the Cleveland Clinic, charged that those responsible for
telling the public about disease have “chosen to use the weapons
of fear, believing that only through fear can the public be educated.”
"Newspapers and magazines have spread this fear,” he went on, “know
ing that the public is always interested in the melodramatic and the
frightening.”
Ths observation is particularly pertinent now in regard to the
wide publicity being given Asian influenza and the predictions that a
vast epidemic is inescapable this winter. The fact that certain Cali
fornia health experts recently declared that there was no reason to
expect an epidemic seems to have been ignored in favor of the more
“melodramatic ami frightening” forecasts.
Dr. John T. Barrett, chairman of the Rhode Island state committee
on immunization says that the publicity on Asian flue is “totally out
of proportion with the danger involved.” At worst, this latest "popu
lar” ailment cannot be compared with the type of influenza prevalent
in 1917-18.
Psychosomatic medicine emphasizes the harmful effects of fear
and anxiety and echoes Job’s statement that ‘the thing I greatly fear
ed is come upon me.” Disease is not a matter of germs and viruses
only.
Efforts toward immunization through vaccine are commendable
but thatis not the sole means of immunization. Many centuries ago the
Psalmst said: “because thou has made the Lord, which is my refuge,
even the most High, thy habitation; there shall no evil befall thee,
neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.”
This is not only beautiful prose but a beautiful truth.
Heart Attacks and You
A recent survey shows that the occurrence of coronary heart di
sease is highest in New York and lowest in New Mexico.
This is important information, for every year 230,000 men and
130,000 women die when one of their small coronary arteries clog up
the bloodstream. This clogging is caused by small, fatty substances,
and is connected with what we now know as the amount of cholesterol
in the bloodstream.
In addition to the number of victims mentioned above, it is esti
mated that as many as a million Americans suffer minor heart attacks
during the year, from which they recover, many of which are never
reported. Not consdering these, the occurrence of coronary heart
disease is increasing in the United States.
We should all try to slow down the life we lead, and consider our
hearts a little more sympathetically. It is no great distinction to lead
in the rate of the occurrence of coronary heart disease among the
nations of the world, a position which the United States now bolds.
News From Around Nebraska
Another highway connection which will effect folks in the
vicinity of Blair is the announcement in the Oakland Independent
last week that the work of pouring concrete on the road between
Oakland and West Point is about to begin. The connecting link
will provide a short cut to Omaha for those who are coming from
the West and will also eliminate much traffic which they would
otherwise encounter in the Fremont area.

The Davey school In the north part of Lancaster county is
battling with the town of Cereaco, which ia in the south part of
Saunders county, over an alleged “raiding" of the Davey school

People took more money out
of their accounts in savings anti
loan associations last July than
I they put in, the latest report of j
j the Federal Home Loan Bank j
I Board reveals. That is only the,
third month that has happened j
in the last 16 years. The other
two were right after the start of (
World War n and the Korean
War.
Employment dropped by
800.000 last month, a much larger
decline than is normal for the
season, the Commerce and Labor
Departments report. Since the
start of the year, factory employ
ment has declined each month,
after adjustment for seasonal
variations. There are now 280.000
fewer factory jobs than there
were in January.
Fewer units of private housing
were started during the first
eight months of 1957 than for any
comparable perio once 1940,
the Labor Department reports.1
The total of 700,000 units is 11
per <ent below the same period
last year.
Cash dividend payments by cor
porations issuing public reports
totaled 4 per cent more during
the January-August period of
this year than they did during the
same period of 1956. the Com
merce Department says.
WHAT DOES 'RICH' MEAN
TO TIME MAGAZINE?
On September 9, Time maga
zine, a Henry Luce publication,
stated flatly: “The U. S. farmer
is a rich man." On the same day,
half of the farm familities in tue
the Census Bureau revealed that
U. S. made less than $2 371 last
year. That was $125 less than
half of them made in 1952, the
bureau reported.
A bureau spokesman said that
more and more farmers are
spending more and more time
working off the farm to add tr
their incomes. Question: Where
does Time get its farm news,
Rockefeller Center?
About 900,000 people will work
on the new national highway j
construction project when it
reaches peak activity. 1

The Nebraska Egg Company, located at David City, will soon
be packing eggs in dried and powdered form, reported the Banner
Press last week. The plant now employs 120 people and has an
annual sales volume of four million dollars. Machinery for the
dehydrating work is being moved to David City from a plant in
Minnesota and when it is installed and running, the plant will need
an even larger crew of workers than it now has. The plant buys
eggs from producers over a large area.

October. The large number of applicants is a rather unusual cir

A quick-acting truck driver averted what could have been a
catastrophy in Ogallala last week. He moved a truck load of ex- -
plosives away from a fire.
The truck, carrying a load of explosives was parked on the
driveway to a service station. Another truck came in and filled
up and upon leaving, a projecting piece on the truck body caught
on the pump hose. Before the truck could be stopped the hose
had been broken and something touched a spark which set the
gasoline on fire. The flaming gasoline ran toward the truck load
ed with explosives. The driver, who was out of the cab at the time,
saw the blase, ran to the truck and moved it just as flames were
dangerously near the truck. The fire department finished the job
at the station.
Millions of tiny red aunts migrated one night last week from
an underground home in a lawn in Seward, to another spot more
than a block away. The migration attracted dozens of interested
persons who watched the movement with interest. The creatures
traveled 300 feet and ended their trek in a hole which led be
neath a sidewalk. The apparently pre arranged route was follow
ed closely. The ants traveled in a path about two inches wide,
moved swiftly and all made exactly the same turns and twists en
route. At the end of the route they tumbled into a small bole
and disappeared from sight. The mass migration required more
than five hours but by the next morning the travelers had dis
appeared and left no trace except a deep grove tn the sand over
which they had traveled. The Seward Independent showed a pic
ture of the ants in motion.

UNION CITY7 n! J—The use
of the President's Committee on
I Government Contracts for "a
possible economic front break
j through on race problems" is
' advocated in a leading editorin'
in the October issue of The Sign,
national Catholic magazine pub
lished here.
"The aim,” says the editorial,
“can be the economic upgrading
of the Negro, particularly in the
South." "At present," the maga
zine points out, “he is largely
confined to farming and servic*
occupations. For various reasons
these accentuate his position of
dependence and inferiority,
“Belter jobs with better income
would mean opportunities for
improvements in bousing, educa
tion and medical care. They
would bring Negroes from rural
areas into the cities where voting
and educational rights are more
likely to be respected. Economic
independence can be an impor
tant first step toward other forms
of independence.”
"Why is this approach feasible,
whereas others present great dif
ficulties?” the editorial ask?
"Plants with large government
contracts,” it asserts, "are usually
national corporations. Employ
ment policies can be adopted an-'
implemented quietly, without
giving occasion for demonstra
tions or agitition.”
"By all this,” The Sign a dds,
"we do not mean that we should
give up voting rights or school
integration. But a major step
forward in a neglected area would
make these other steps easier.
And it would lessen the bitterness
and tensions that surround these
other more explosive issues. U
deserves to be tried at least.”
The editorial deplores as a
"tragic aspect of current attitudes
on racial tension the tendancy on
both sides to establish firm posi
tions that are poles apart from,
each other.” Declaring ”pru
drtiee, as a cardinal virtue, is not
the same as weakness* it pre
diets. "A head on attack upor
entrenched positions today would
create unprecendented social ten
sions. It might take the nation
generations to recover Irom the
strife thus engendered.

employee* in the low grades have
been given increases that have
kept pace with rising costs ei
living since 1939.
The President assumes that the
1951 pay caise placed classified
workers and postal employees on
a par with living costs. Ha is
wrong. It didn't.
Mr. Eisenhower says the vetoed
wage bills disregard the “funda
mental principle" of " fair and
equitable treatment" In the re
lation of one worker to another
and in relaion to private em
ployees. Ho is wrong. As Jerry
Kluttz, well-informed Washing
ton Post and Times Herald coin
mnist, points out, the record
shows plainly that the Govern
ment’s own per diem employees,
its laborers and mechanics, and
employees in many private in
dustries have been given wage
increases in recent years that ar>
I far mere than those given postal
and classified workers.
The President says flatly that
the raises of 11 per cent for
classified workers and $546 for
postal workers would feed the
fires of inflation. What did he
say about the price boost ordered
this year by the oil interests who
are making bigger profits than
ever. That’s right, nothing.
