With two wounds, his condition is not the best, but he manages to stick to the job and get his work done. Paving Prospects Brighter Surveyors were Tn town last Fri day running lines and establishing grades for the paving project here, which has been hanging fire for a long time. There are a number of blocks to be paved, running from the railroad tracks north to the school house, and from the auditorium east one block. Present indications are that the contractor, -who has been doing a lot of paving in Louisville, will move the equipment here as soon as that work is completed and the job will be carried on as a WPA project, with the contractor furnishing equipment and supervision. Material costs are largely furnished by the property owners in the district, with some be ing contributed by the government. The cost of the equipment, supervis ion and engineering will also be largely borne by the property own ers, with the government paying all WPA labor costs. Commencement Day The past few weeks have been in deed busy ones in the lives of Sen ior class members, with parties, ban quets, picnics, sneak day and various other activities. The weeks of ac tivity were climaxed with the bacca laureate sermon Sunday evening and graduation exercises Tuesday even ing, when the young men and women were given their diplomas attesting satisfactory completion of the course of study laid down for accredited high schools. As principal speaker for the grad uation ceremonies, school authorities considered themselves fortunate in being able to secure the Hrm. Robert (Bob) Simmons, chief justice of the Nebraska supreme court. He gave a most worth-while address in which he outlined the responsibilities that! face our young men and women of j this age and offered valuable advice j on how to overcome difficulties that may be met along life's highway. So, now, with the delivering of the diplomas, the school year comes to a close. Pupils in the lower grades will enjoy a three months rest be fore tackling anew the problems of the classroom, while those who have graduated will face life's sterner problems. Some will pursue their education further in higher institu tions of learning, some will tach in rural schools and others will go forth in search of a job and the opportun ity to make their way in the world. It is both a pleasant and ;i sad oc casion this day of parting with the old friends and classmates.

Shown here is the powerful, new, two-place, all-metal low-mid-wing dive-bomber devised in answer to the V. S. Navy's demand for a "super" dive-bomber that will greatly outperform any airplane of its type in America or abroad. De signed to operate from aircraft carriers, it is powered with a 1700 h.p. engine, equipped with a three-bladed electric pro peller, ha-wing "slots," is unusually well armed, and will transport a much larger bomb load (inside the fuselage) at higher speeds for much longer distances than any existing dive bomber type in the world. It is expected to increase greatly the striking power of the Navy, attractive in this zippered play suit and matching skirt. Here it is found on a blue ground, with fig ures in henna and white. The wide facing is blue spun rayon. (Right) The old fashioned flowers of early American gardens appear in this colorful cot ton print.

The woven glass textile back ing is the same one de veloped in recent years by the glass companies and finding steadily increasing uses in many industries. Devising a suitable adhesive coating and a method of applying it has hitherto represented a problem. The new product will have a number of uses in the elec trical industry and for insulating other than electrical ly. The tape is manufactured in rolls in the full width of 40 inches and then cut into any desired widths, i Juneau tuh:.- tjr- v.' . S Vj j,v.V.(-V.y?
