Renos An derson was dining room chair man, and Rev. Paul Walker had charge of the kitchen staff of workers, who were all men. This was a ladies banquet, a Mother Daughter banquet, which had been planned and each small de tail in the preparations had been carefully thought out by a little lady, who sat in the rear of the room and took no part in - the events of the evening, except to watch that the program was carried out, as had been planned. This self effacing chairman was the wife of the pastor, Mrs. Paul Walker. Decorations were in gold and white, with the color scheme be ing carried out with autumn flowers, crepe paper bands, and gold and white candles. Two Nebraska City visitors were present. They were Mrs. Paul Conklin and Mrs. Elmer ' Nieman, and Mrs. Doris Ander ; son came from Omaha to be pres- ent with her mother. !

Miss Virginia Gish sans "Memories", accompa nied by Mrs. Maude Moulten, and Mrs. Ivan Hansen sang "Little Old Lady" accompanied by Mrs. Ludwick. Then came the out standing feature of the evenings program, which was the address given by Mrs. Charles W. Mead, of Omaha., whose subject "Where Do You Live?" brought cut many new angles on this oft asked question, for "we live where our mind and spirit are, J not where the body lives." "As j mothers and daughters in this r.ew world, where do you live?" "The greatest thing we have to share is our faith in the great End living God. The daughters of today must be well equipped, inside, by their mothers influ ence, for we are now a part of the whole world, not just Nebras ka mothers. "The women of today use only about one tenth of their physical capacity. We will have again, to learn the beauty and the value of work, and of the virtue of work with the hands. Each one is an undeveloped treasury, with doors awaiting your de termination, discipline and dis crimination. Take your daughters into this bigger and better world." Mrs. Gorden Heneger and her daughter, Mrs. Lawrence Enden miller, sang a duet "Our Way", after which the beautiful candle lighting service was in charge of Miss Twyla Miller, assisted by Marilyn Carnes, Marianne De Craen Dorothy McFadden, Mild red Smith, Patty Heebner, Nan cy Brown Beverly Bonner and Ruth Rolph who lighted the large candles on the tables, then the and rising, repeated a pledge to their daughters; in turn, the daughters lighted their small white candles, and rose and re peated their pledge of allegiance to their mothers. After this im pressive ceremony, lights were j again turned on, and Mrs. Nutz man led in the singing of "Now the Day Is Over", which closed the happy event. Many were ! heard to express the request that this Mother-Daughter banquet of the two churches, Weeping Water and Nehawka, become an annual affair. -a FIES3E Picture 7; Mm. -a GRgRad8o- X ;ff at 'Diock Cold" Emerson Radio Model 543.

Prices May Be High; History Says Not New By Harman W. Nichols United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO. U.R) So you think prices are high. All right, go bread is high be cause wheat is selling for $2.50 a bushel on the Chicago Board of Trade. Eggs soared toward a dol lar a dozen. The price of a new car is way up. But history won't record our times of record sky-high prices. Simply because it's an old, old story. Part of the story is told by Edward L. Throm, an expert on that sort of thing with the World Book Encyclopedia. He came up with some eye pop pers. For instance, back in Cicero's days around 100 B.C. people paid as much as $175 a pound for purple-dyed wool. Wool was all wool and a yard wide, too, in those days, and there was plenty of it. But the dye was a scarce item. It could be obtained only from a creature known as Pur pura Murex or shellfish found in the Mediterranean. Nobles Wore Purple Each fish was good for only a tiny squirt of dye. You know who dressed in wool in those days the Roman nobles. That, as a mat ter of fact is where we got the expression "born to the purple," in case you ever worried about it. It's hard to believe,, but Throm says that pins once were a scarce item in old England. Along about 1100, the situation got so rough that parliament pass ed a law allowing pins to be sold onlyjtwo days a year, one of them New Year's Day, when people probably didn't feel much like standing in line to buy pins. English housewivesaved their money all year for pins and hence we got another expression "pin money." Same Old Story Throm says it is the old thing then and now. Scarcity makes high prices. In the days when folks trav eled by stage coach, the fare from St. Joseph, Mo., to California was $225. A man in the west paid $9 to $10 for a barrel of salt. During the .gold strikes of tho 1800s there was no rent control. Shacks rented for $100 and up a week. A night's snooze on a cot cost $15 and no shower. In the Klondike, after gold was discovered in 1897, a man paid $10 for a plate of eggs and a slab of ham. Feel any better? You get all the news when you read The Journal. J.
