f HE PLATTSWCUTH, NEBRASKA, SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL PAGE TWO Thursday, June 9, 1940 I. nil .P.rrrCTj Jesus' Death and Burial. V Lesson for. June 12: Luke 23:33 38; Mark 15:34; Luke 23:45-47; Matthew 27:57-60. Memory Selection: John 10:11. After the travesty of a trial was ended, Jesus was led to the cruci fixion. When a place called Golgotha had been reached and Jesus had been lifted up between two thieves, the chief priests and the soldiers taunted the Sufferer and told him to save himself, and one of the soldiers offered him vinegar to drink, jningled with gall. And above the head of Jesus were these words: HIS 13 THE KrNG OP JEWS. . At the ninth hour (three In the afternoon) Jesus cried: "My God, rny God, why hast Thou forsaken tne?" Let us regard these words as evidence that Jesus, who had come willingly to the cross for sinful men, whose sins had separated them from God, had to feel utterly alone In iiis sacrifice. j In the last moments, Jesus cried out. In a loud voice: "Father, into Thy hands I commend my spirit." These were the last words from the cross. They are sufficient answer to some who have supposed that his Cry of beinj forsaken indicated wav ering faith by Jesus. The Sanhedrin, in declaring Jesus f.-orthy of death, was not unanimous In its action. Joseph of Arimathaea did not agree. And, after the cruci fixion, he begged the body cf Jesus from Pilate, and he and Nicodemus lovingly placed it in Joseph's new tomb. Matthew writes that Joseph talsa himself was Jesus' disciple." It is true that he had been a dis ciple secretlr. but at the last he acted boldly and at great risk to himself. Hie same was true of Nicodemus.

Val Peterson. The chief executive under standably would prefer a Repub- ncan-coniroilea legislature so long as he occupies the govern or's chair, and he wants the size increased, too. "by a small iium ber lo give better representa tion." A group of Ne'oraskans is now at work preparing for circulation petitions urging that the voters in 1950 be allowed to boost the size of the membership. The governor told reporters he is not against stretching legisla tor's terms to four years instead of two and that he favors their meeting annually. These are provided for in a bill for consti tutional amendment passed at the session just ended. The peo ple have to vote on it. Gov. Peterson some time ago told a Republican state central committee meeting in Lincoln that it was difficult for the chief executive to get a legislative pro gram enacted with the present non-partisan system. Former Gov. Dwight Griswold, at the same meeting, took sharp issue with this and pointed out that G.O. P. governors had had just as much trouble with Re publican legislatures as with Democratic ones, and the same applied when a Democrat was in the governor's office. The governor commented on criticism of a lack of leadership in thf 1949 senate: "This system is not conducive to leadership, but after you say that, you must also say that it works reasonably well. The people arc sold on, and accept the unicameral, but I think there is a serious question in the minds of the people on the non-iiartisan feature. The candidates don't get to debate the state issues and there is no leadership except as it forms on each individual bill. There is no one the people can hold respon sible except the individual mem bers and that is very difficult. "In my experience the mem bers of the legislature have re spected the non-partisan feature and approached the problems as Nebraskans. in which there is some advantage. "We must admit the unicam eral system has worked reason ably well, however, I'm inclined toward the belief that political responsibility would be desir able." The governor made it clear that his feeling in these matters was "academic" and he would undertake no "crusade" on be half of them. The state's record-busting 1949-1951 budget was signed into law, meanwhile, and Gov. Peter son called it: "Just'a job." He had words of praise for John Callan, Odell, hard-working chairman of the budget commit tee, and members of Callan's group. "While I am not particularly happy that the budget is higher than I recommended. I do feel Sen. Callan and the members of the budget committee have done a reasonably good job," he said. "I feel certain a study will show that this legislature in making the appropriations has been conservative as compared to legislatures in - neigh boring states," said the governor. The $152,000,000 budget bill was the last to be signed by the gov ernor. He put his signature on an even dozen bills after the leg islature adjourned. , V. S. "Petty, director of the Ne braska health service for the past three years, submitted his resignation effective Aug. 1. i He told newsmen he was "in fluenced" in his decision by the failure of the legislature to raise his $5,500 annual salary by $2,000, but that this was not his only reason. The bill to raise the salary was killed in committee, along with several other hities for state officials. Dr. Petty, who has been asso ciated with the state health de partment since 1942, said he would enter the field of cancer research. Gov. Peterson, commenting on Petly's resignation, said it left only one doctor in the depart ment. Five have resigned in the pas five years, all for salary reasons. Statutes do not require the health department to be headed by an M. D. State selective service head quarters last week began trim ming its staff over the state. Twenty clerks were released and 66 others went on a part-time basis. Lt. Col. Frank B. O'Connell, assistant to Brig. Gen. Guy. N. Henninger, said fulltime clerks would be kept in only 18 offices. The cut was attributed by O'Con nell to decreased appropriations and uncertain armed forces re cruiting. Fulltime offices will be kept in mwwz slips YM I tT Cross Chcptc, for en eppolnhnent.
