pE SURE TO VOTE TUESDAY On noxt Tuesday, November 2, mil lions of Americans will exercise their right to cast a ballot for l.heir favorite candidate. Here in the United States we should remember we are one of the fevv nations left in the world with that privi lege; While we may have ideas of our. own on h'ow, people should and will vote, far be it from us as a representative of all '1 of the residents of this area to try and in fluence a decisi sn. From the lack of noise " coming from the hinter.ands, it appears : to us thr Cass County voters made up their minds months ago where their cross -would he on the ballot. "'Our purp -o here in catling your at tention to next Tuesday is lo urge every person of voting age t; make a trip to the polls on November 2. Go out of the way if necessary to cast your ballot. It is the democratic way to name the persons who are to serve you for the nexf tv ). four or six years. - Over confidence and complacency on the part jf many voters could send favored candidates down to defeat. Vour one vote could be the deciding factor in placing the right candidate in the right office. So, mark your calendar now and get out and vote next Tuesday. p- r- THE FLAT LOOK This year as in the case every year , there i. something new in women's fashions and it happens to be the flat look. Tiirjso going according to this Paris edict will dress so that their appearance will resemble that o a flat board. This was the fashion back in the Twen ties and was definitely frowned upon by health and medical authorities, who found that it was definitely bad for young girls to wear clothes designed io give them a flat, unnatural look. We do not believe the flat look has a ghost of a chance of being accepted by the majority of American women, but unfortunately, there are some who fol-' low the fashion edicts from Paris so close ly they will be sucked m on this latest fashon-deisigner's whim. We hope the number will not be large, and that this editorial will serve as encouragement to young ladies, and elderly ones as well, to resist this latest dress-selling line. American males are not interested in the Paris designer's idea about flat looks. We hope America's females are more in terested in looking normal, aiuj healthy, than they are in . playhig the (sUCkr for fashion designers.- w"ho ahniuflfW reap windfall profits from their ability to lead female sheep into a never-ending circle of fashion purchases, necessitated by the idea they must have the latest thing, or be dressed in the latest style. rsEMOCRATS VICTORS IN ALASKA Alaskan Democrats recently scored a landslide victory in the elections held there. The elections determined he com position, of the Alaskan Legislature, de cided the race between a Republican and a Democrat for Alaska's delegate to Con gress, and other races. The Democrats won a very large ma jority in the Alaska Legislature, and the Democratic candidate for Delegate to Congress won over his Pa-publican oppo nent by a big margin. If fact. theDele gate was elected with 72 percent of the vote, compared to a 56 percent vote he received in 1052.

DREW PEARSON SAYS: SENATOR MUNDT'S PROBLEMS PESTER HIM IN SOUTH -DAKOTA; CHARLEY SKOURAS LOVED HIS ADOPTED COUNTRY; FLORIDIANS EXONER ATED JIM HALEY. WASHINGTON South Dakota hasn't gone Democratic since most people around the Republican National Committee can remember, but today there's a certain amount of uneasiness regarding the fu ture of the genial gentleman who tried rather unsuccessfully to keep order in the Army-McCarthy" hearings Senator Kail Mundt. The biggest probiem bothering Karl the Eisenhower Farm Program isn't his fault. Two other problems could have been avoided. They are: 1, a cocktail party to have been he'd in the Senate; and 2, Karl's friendship with Joe McCar thy and Texas Pals.' It so happens that Condidate Eisen hower chose South Dakota to make his strongest promise to farmers in 1952.

Karl, however, invited all Army-Mc Carthy participants anyway. Then, when he heard the Democrats would boycott the party, he called it off. However, the story got back to South Dakota and didn't sit too well with voters. So Karl did rather a foolish thing. He denied it. Whereupon the Democrats trotted out a copy of the cock tail invitation. At the bottom were these giveaway words: "Viands and Vintages." Problem No. 3 is Mundt's asso ciation with McCarthy and Tex- ! as friends, which quite a few people in Sorth Dakota don"t .seem to like. Mrs. 'Mundt, of ! course, fc-is long been a friend of tn McCarthys and Karl him- self once bought 200 shares of Texas Gulf slphlir stock on a McCarthy tip that his Texas friend, Clint Murchison. planned l to Duy up an tne company s ! stock. j.

Circus Fire Helped Congress Though the House of Repre sentatives s frequently referred to as a circus, not many people know that one of the top circus men of America is a member. He is Jim Haley, a tall, quiet, slab-sided sort ' of man who I manager ' and vice 1 president, disaster struck the circus . disaster in the form of a fire at Hartford, Conn., in which a stampeding, fear - maddened crowd killed women and chil dren. For months afterward, Jim Haley went around the lot with a haunted look, remembering that day. He lost 20 pounds, looked as if he were dying by inches. But after he had launched the circus for the 1945 season and began to pay back t.hp ispvpra mil inn rinllars in I damages fixed by a Connecticut Solomon moved, with the date of his re- luuvai, ii lie oiitiii uc duic iu a.o- certain such fact, and it is made his duty to make diligent inquiry thereof.

Jim went up to Hartford to the the-jail sentence which the court had aUo given him. Trie people down in Florida, however, knew Jim Haley better than this. They knew he was Hot responsible for that fire. He was the financial manager at the time, only happened to be in Hartford -by accident. SO they figured he took the rap. They also knew all the fine things he had done for their community. And when western." Florida, which has shot ahead population-wise, was given a new con gressional district, they sent Jim Haley to Congress. Politico-Go-Round The GOP campaign h- really getting into hign gear.

Legislative SIDELIGHTS . . by BERNIE CAMP Information Director Nebraska Farm Bureau Federation Quality Nebraskans had called to their i attention recently two examples of the importance of quality in farm products, First, Nebraska wheat growers produce a type of wheat that is preferred by processors. Millers and bakers cannot get enough of ; this high quality wneat ana cuii sequently pay a premium which raises its market price aoove pnvernment. nrice sUDDOrts. As a result, farmers who raise quality wheat are not interested in price supports because of th?. restrictions on acreage and pro duction. More recently the secretary of the Nebraska Poultry Improve ment Association called atten tion to the "other side of the coin" when he warned that Ne braska -poultry producers are losing important markets be cause of; their failure to market eggs cn a quality basis. Quality in eggs implies 'that they have been graded, properly packed, and are fresh. The NPIA secre tary cites the fact that many of Nebraska's super markets are importing quality eggs from eastern and western coastal areas simply because Nebraska producers were not able or will ing to supply them with quality eggs. Quality pays off in farm com modities just as it pays eff in any commodity. Millers gladly pay a premium for good milling wheat because I it is more economical to pay the producer more man il js lo pay for chemicals and treatment to improve the quality and baking characteristics of inferior wheat. Consumers are willing to pay more for eggs when they have the assurance they are large, fresh and "won't break all over the skillet." There is no surplus in quality. There is never an over-supply of producers who are willing to put forth the little extra eflort i - . . , , I U1 "ic" '1"uuwu" tu 1 j Quality product. The economic OU1 J1 UOCO 111 CVi. ILUlbUl CJl modities or any other cotnmod' ity are created by the many pro ducers satisfied to produce an item that will barely get past minimum requirements. The best advice that could be given to a young farmer would be that he learn to know and recognize qualtiy and then pro duce it. Learning and knowing and producing a quality com' " - - I "nment price support programs, There is no competition with quality; and since price sup ports are based upon the aver age, quality prices . are consid erably above supports always. SAVE SALABLE MILK A young calf must get colo strum milk' before it is 48 ln..-rs old if it is to get the benefit of gamma globulin, a study at the Wisconsin station shows. On the other hand, colostrum is just as good as whole milk as a feed even though it doesn't supply protective material to calves older than 4 days. When the Montana station substituted i first-milking colostrum for nor mal whole milk at the beginning of each 16-day period until calves were 80 days old, there was no scouring and the calves did as well as those fed normal whole milk the full 80 days. So go ahead and feed extra colo strum whenever you have it. It will save marketable milk.

NEBRASKA, SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL PAGE TWO Section B Thursday, October 23, 1954 By Stanley James, Journal Washington Reporter WASHINGTON, October 28 A- new program to utilize the na tion's manpower is under special study and Congress will prob ably receive several, requests from the Administration to change the. reserve program in the first session of the 84th Congress, beginning in January. The new program is not in final form as yet and therefore details of it cannot be given. It is known that there is senti ment to take advantage of the training of ex-servicemen by re quiring them to report for re fresher training periods each year. The draft will probably be j kept, but whether UMT will be recommended is not as yet known. An ideal solution might be one which would eventually eliminate the draft substitute both universal military training and refresher training for ex- j servicemen. j There is certain to be almost j overwhelming opposition to any program requiring ex-service- ' men to serve short periods of refresher service while not re- j quiring youths who have never been called on to serve. In the past, the attempt to get a fair and effective military training program has always been met with emotional opposition and conflicting ideas which boiled over into hot, official contro versy. It is an open secret that the present manpower system of the draft and the various reserve programs of the military serv ices, is not the final solution to the problem. The job of recom mending a special, manpower program to Congrc.'js, and get ting it approved, is a really tough one. President Dwight D. Eisen hower is heartily in favor "of a new, all-inclusive manpower prog'ram, ' however, and will probably have a number of changes ready to propose to Congress in the first session of the 84th Congress. Already some of the country s best brains are at work .on his delicate problem, If Ike can get a new mar- power policy into operation in the next two years, or six (if he runs again and is elected), he will have achieved something no one else in Washington or . in the - White Houses- has yet been able to do. That is what he is after at the moment and it looks like the 8-tth congress will get the first look at his pro posal. In West Germany there are i those attempting to- fan the j Iires Oi nauunauMii uy ciuns against West German align ment with the Allies, and these elements are having their first success. They argue ihat once West Germany alligns itself with the West, unification with East Germany will then become im possible. The Russians are doing all they can to give these spokes men support and have recently announced they would agree to free elections in all Germany if West Germany stays out of the Democratic alliance. German nationalism is .a real ity. The one continental power which could do more to stir thi3 nationalistic monster is, ot : course France. And the French 1 have already come dangerously j close to playing into Russian ! hands in this very way. : When the French rebuffed ' Vest Germany and refused to WEEKLY CROSSWORD PUZZLE Feathered Creature HORIZONTAL 4 Domestic slave 1,5 Depicted bird 5 Small valley 11 Oozes 6 Contest of 12 Lighting device 14 Child's game 15 Relative 17 Court 18 Near 19 Novelty 21 Physician (ab.) 22 Network 24 Encourage Leg joint speed 7 Units 8 Note of Guido's scale 9 Stitch 10 Eats away 11 Utterly 13 It is native to America 16 Isle of Wight (ab.) 19 Unnecessary 20 Wages 27 Strike 23 Rririep hnlHinc 28 ''Sioux State" 25 Noblemen (ab.) 29 Measure of area 30 Indian . mulberry ' 31 Artificial language 32 Step 34 Unit of length 37 Roman date 38 Biblical name 39 Behold! 40 Strokes 46 Thoron (symbol) 47 British money of account 49 Invest 50 Moist 51 Raised level 53 Checks 55 Asserts 56 Bristle VERTICAL 1 Defeated 2 Limb 3 Higher ratify the European Defense Community treaty, it was a blow ' to West Germans who had long hoped to take their place as an equal partner in the defense of western Europe. In helping to shape terms of the Nine Power agreement, an accord reached recently in London, the French were once again unwilling to grant West Germany full sover eignty They are 'exhibiting the same attitude at the moment, in re questing certain qualificaticns be added to the Nine Power Pact, so as to check any possible revivai of German militarism. It becomes clear, as this story unfolds, that the Germans are ready for full sovereignty, and that they will resent further French attempts to keep them in submission. The French blinded from the fact that Communism is democracy's number cne enemy by a traditional fear of German militarism are not ready to give West Germans full free dom. As a result, the Germans are beginning to consider the role of neutrality. The appeal that v the country could at least be united, if West Germany stays out of the demo cratic camp, is beifig heard more arid more often even from former top statesmen in the Weimar Republic. NOBEL PEACE PRIZE It has recently been an nounced that the Norwegian Nobel Prize committee will award no Nobel Peace Prize this year the first time in many years that the world is free of a ma jor war.
