Oliver Johnstone Well Known Here is Commissioned Grandson of .the Late Mr. and Mrs. Emil Walters Receives Naval -Aviation Commission. The Sheridan (Wyoming) Fress has the very interesting article on the recent commission of Oliver John stone, well known in this city where he was a visitor a number of times during the lifetime of his grand parents, Mr. and Mrs. Emil Walters. He is a nephew of Ed Walters of this city: At a critical time like this, it is interesting to note the type of strap ping and intelligent young men be ing trained for naval aviation by the United States. After all, the wings of the fleet will play an important part in Am erica s nrst line or uerense in case of necessity.

Urges Churches to Unite Forces Lutheran Hour Speaker Says Threat of Communism is Something to be Beckoned With. Communism in America has drop ped its friendly mask and revealed its leering hatred of the Christian church, Dr. Walter A. Maier of Con cordia Seminary asserted Sunday in his coast to coast Lutheran Hour broadcast. He referred to the state ment attributed to Earl Browder, general secretary of the Communist party in the United States, that a Communist triumph in the United States would bring a "purge of re ligion" and "liquidation" of most of the present leaders and teachings. "Communist victory in our coun try would mean one thing, closed and desecrated churches, a deposed and persecuted clergy, a Christless, hopeless worship," Dr. Maier added. "Mr. Browder promises consideration and lenience only for a small group or preacners. lie does not name these favored few, but it may be as sumed that he refers to so-called modernists with whom Communism has an unmistakeable tie-up and un derstanding, indicated by the mutual endorsement with which Communists have approved religious radicalism and modernist preachers have prais ed Communism." The Church of God will survive all these brutal onslaughts, the noted theologian declared, but he added that the time has come for a united front against the inroads of "clerical unbelief and infidelity in high church places." "The day has dawned," he said, "when all groups which accept the Bible as the errorless revelation of God and the only source of faith, and which in whatever denomina tions they may be found accept Jesus Christ as their God and Saviour, should come together. First of all they should examine -the doctrinal differences that have separated Chris tians into dozens of different denomi nations. Then they should learn just what the Word of God teaches in these disputed issues, and on the basis of the clear testimony of that divine truth, the Christian churches should be completely realigned with an ab solute unity of faith in all scriptural teachings and with a determination to defend that truth, inider the cry: Back to God and His Bible! Back to Christ and His Cross!" 27 ATTEND PINOCHLE TOURNEY From Saturday's Daily , The Fariiey Cafe, the Hinky-Dinky Grocery firm, and Miss Clara Toman served as hostesses at last evening's session of the pinochle tournament, which took place at the Recreation Center on lower Main .street, at 8 o'clock.

The announcement of the appoint ment of Francis Robinson of Lincoln as census supervisor for eastern Ne braska, has led to a great deal of inquiry as to the positions of enum erators in the different counties, ! cities and precincts. j Many have called at the court house to inquire as to the positions that might be available but find that the county officials have no part in the selection of parties to be em ployed or the direction of the census. The taking of the census is strict ly a federal proposition and will be handled by the state supervisors and district Xeads who will in turn ex pand the organization into smaller units with the men and women who Jare to personally take the census. Recommendation of the county chairman of the democratic party for the places as census takers is to be used as the basis for the filling of the positions. Those who wish to enter this had best take the steps of applying to the chairman as high er officials of the census will not handle this phase of the census tak ing. The whole program is still in the process of being ironed out and meetings and conferences of the heads of districts will be necessary before the whole program can be an nounced. TOY CHRISTMAS SHOW DEC. 9 Saturday forenoon, December 9, at the Cass theatre, there will be held the annual Christmas toy show that is sponsored jointly by the Child Welfare committee of the Amer ican Legion Auxiliary and Manager Guy Griffin of the theatre. It will be the sixth consecutive year that Mr. Griffin has contributed the use of his theatre and equipment and paid all the rental cost of the film in order to further the program of toy distribution sponsored by the ladies of the Legion Auxiliary. This year's offering will be a sur prise show, appropriate to Christmas time and featuring one of the best known movie stars on the screen to day. Admission will be gained only by the giving of a discarded but use ful toy. Toys needing only minor repairs to restore their usetulness will be acceptable, but badly broken and useless toys will not be taken. Also cc-operating with the ladies this year is the Style Shop, which is donating the use of its basement room. There, a full week before Christmas day, the "Toy Shop" will be opened. Parents receiving "Toy Scrip" may go there and select the kind of toy they feel their children would be most pleased with. This new plan of distribution is being tried out this year for the first time in an effort to bring about a more orderly distribution of toys. Besides toys received at the the atre solicitation is being carried on by the ladies among parents of older children for discarded toys and among business men and others not having children to give some new toy to help make Christmas day happier for the children in homes who might otherwise be overlooked by Santa in making his rounds Christmas eve. The list of families to whom "Toy Scrip" will be issued is now being compiled and checked. All persons knowing of needy families are invited to phone members of the Child Wel fare committee, which is composed Mrs. Elmer Web, Mrs. Robert Cap pell, Mrs. Raymond Larson, Mrs. Ed gar Creamer and Mrs. Eugene Vro man, Auxiliary president.
