Shine council of the Knights of Ccl ; umbus, had a very pleasant treat afforded them on the 1 visit of Father Meade, returned missionary from China, and Father Allan, the rector of the St. Columbans seminary at Bell vue. This seminary at Bellevue, is the training point for priests of the Roman Catholic faith, destined for service in the Chi nese field, where they have es tablished a great record of ser vice in all sections of the great and comparative unknown na tion of the orient. The talk of Father Meade brought to the hearers a great er understanding of China and the Chinese people, his religious work had covered not only the better known sections along ; the coast, but into the interior ' cf the nation. He pointed out I that the Chinese were faced to day with many grave economic i problems, want was ravaging i the land, it was no unusual sight to see a great many of the j Chinese die on the streets of ! their cities from famine and ; want. This great want had ' made them susceptible to the j Communist teachings as prom ising something better tnan present conditions, as after all self preservation is a basic hu man instinct. In speaking of the church and its teachers in the orient, Father Meade stated that the missionaries of the Catholic church were largely remaining in China as long as possible to j serve the people in their spirit j ual life, despite the fact that they faced persecution and per ! haps death at the hands of the invading Red forces that were ' Communistic dominated. I Father Meade told of the an cient Chinese, whose beliefs ; and customs largely prevailed in the interior of the nation, their humbleness in dealing with the white races, the dread ; of "'loosing face" with the i strangers as well as their own j people. ! The evils that prevailed were , largely brought to the coas cities by the foreigners and had planted the seeds of many of the great evils that were found in the large cities, nurtured there by the foreign elements down through the years. A luncheon was enjoyed after the meeting. AUDREY LAN E fey I i ir&M -I F Wft it V: ld 1 8189 HW4 1 1 Use Journal Want Ads. Use Journal Want. Ads. Kl What5s in a Name? $4.00 This Week!

MURRAY SCHOOL NOTES Margaret Richter and Harriet ; McVay reporters. j School is running more or j less normally after the "storm." The only bad effect seems to be a small epidemic of bad colds, j Those answering sick call were Harriet McVay, Margie Markey, Junior Radtke and Gary Camp bell. With the aid of aspirin and cough drops the little school is over coming the "cold bug." To prove there is a spr.rk of chivalry left, the male popula tion of Murray Junior high is sponsoring a Valentine's Day party. Despite the fact the girls view it with some doubt the party will be one of the best, say the boys. The basketball team is still anxious to schedule games with any comparable team. The team is made up of grade boys with only two freshmen. Seventh and eighth grades alike are digging deep into the secrets of compound or "con found" interest. The English and Grammar class is building complicated designs by dia graming complex and com pound sentences.

Co-operation Asked from State Motorists Cooperation was sought today by the Nebraska State Safety Council from Nebraska motor ists, for the state's snow removal crews. Horace Crosby, president of the Safety Council, stated, "This work is dangerous in itself and often creates hazardous condi tions, but it is for the benefit of all motorists and they must ac cept a share of the responsibili ty." Nebraska's safety chief out lined the following suggestions for motorists driving in snowy conditions. 1. Make sure road is open be fore starting. 2. Inquire at each town if any doubt about highways. 3. Dress warm and keep a full tank of gas. 4. Never attempt to overtake or pass a snowplow until you hove a signal from the driver. 5. Be especially cautious when approaching a plow. 6. Expect to meet a snowplow anytime while it is snowing and visibility is reduced. 7. Always keep your proper dis tance behind a snowplow in mo tion. 8. Remember that a disabled snowplow and your car blocking a one-way road can disrupt clearing operations.
