NEHAWKA lt,,t,tft,.Mtt,ittn,,ttrt was the scene i ganintions paused to pay tribute to the nation's and service or- dress by the Rev. Fr. John Allen, rector of St. Luke's Epis copal Church. He said the gathering had come to honor some "obscure men" whose contribution to the life of the nation was tremen dous. "These were merciful men, whose righteousness hath not been forgotten," he said in quot ing the writing of Ben Sirach in Ecclesias'es. He said America is built like the Egyptian pyramids, "each generation building on the foun dation laid by the previous one." Such "building" includes the work of those who fought to keep this country free from foreign power, Rev. Allen said. He likened Memorial Day tc the religious celebration, All Saints Day. As the Saints are honored for their virtuous and Godly lives so the nation's war dead are honored because of "their un wavering allegiance and loyaiiy to this land which Almighty God has given us," he said. He warned his audience to be ever alert to threats to their freedoms and urged everyone tc take an interest in government of their city, state and nation.

Answer: Yes, generally speak ing! Teenage boys gobble up more of the weekly food money than any other member of the family. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Ag ricultural Research Service, the estimated cost of a week's food supply for one growing male, age 16 to 19, in January 1962 was $8.20. This was a low-cost plan. If the family followed a "moderate' cost plan, his food bill would have been $11.20, and on a liberal plan, $12.60. Question: Can you afford to eat? Answer: Quite simply you can't afford not to and food takes a smaller amount of our total income each year. Amer icans nowadays get more food for less work than ever before in history, according to a study by the U. S. Department of Economic Research. A decade ago an hour of fac tory work bought 2 13 pounds cf chuck roast, 20 eggs or 62 quarts of milk. Today an hour buys 3'ii pounds of roast, 42 eggs, r'' more than 8 quarts of milk. In dollars and cents the bill is higher by 20 cents than it was in the index years of 1947-49. But the food bill is now only 20 per cent of our take home pay compared to 26 per cent 15 years ago. Corn Aplenty in Supermarket Items LINCOLN There's plenty of corn these days, and a lot of it's found in the supermarket! Resi dents of the state should ap preciate the use of corn and its byproducts in the foods we eat, say University of Nebraska specialists. Corn in one form or another was found in 197 different foods at a supermarket in Alexand ria, Virginia. During an aisle-by-aisle check of food labels, corn was included as an ingre dient in foods ranging from Worcestershire sauce to bird biscuits. Many standardized foods require no ingredient de clarations on the label, there fore, the list was somewhat smaller than actual usage would show.' Cornstarch, Syrup and dext rose are used in some 50 foods and in many cases two of the three are used in combination. Other foods contain kernels, corn flour, corn meal, corn oil, lactic acid and other byproducts. Miss Stander (Continued from Page 1) In spite of Juliet aid, he last hL balance. "Mr. l ock wood, are you hurt?" e'ed Julie. Anxiously shs helped him to hiz feet, and across tne street they hurried. "Mr. Lcckwood, aic you hurt? ' again came the question as they reached theiter from the storm. She didn't need rn answer when .she spiel his limping foot as he leaned heavily on his cane. "I think it's oniy a sprain,'' came the reply. "We'd better gt you to a doc tor," Juiie said, half to herself Then she spoke again. "Look, here's a taxi. Comj on." Twenty minutes later both Julie and Mr. Lockwood, with his bandaged ankle, were riding home w'th Julie's mother from the doctor's office, from where Julie had tclephcned her. De spite Mr. Loclswood's' protect about not wanting to intrude, Julie's plump, friendly mother insisted that slippery streets were no place for a man with a sprained ankle. A sudCen thought flashed across Julie's mind. Her paint ings! Where were' they? With a sinking heart she remembered. She had dropped them on the corner when Mr. Lockwood fed. As far as she knew, they were probably still there. Thsre was no use in go'ng back to get them mw, Becausri of the rain, they wuuld be lfduced to notn ing but a soggy mess. After a delicijus supper, Mr. Lockwood asked ;f he could use the telephone. Then he and Fa ther wert into the living room to visit. "Julie, have ycu seen my new color bork lately-'' her little six-year-old sister, K;t. demanded. "No," came the :tply. "Maybe you left it in my room after you showed it to me tills afternoon. IT gosee." Yes, jn her bedroom desk lay a brown paper sack. But to her surprise, in place of a color book m it, she saw a fet of water color paintings! "Where's n: c.-lor book?" de manded Kit. With vising spirits Julie re plied, 'You must have left it in my room this afternoon. And j when I went to take my paint- ing, I must hive snatched the wrong sack." oeeing Kit's dis appointment, Julie smiled and added. Don't wor'y, Kit, I'll buy ou a new one. 7ou run along now." Well Julie had liei paintings, but it was too late now to enter them. The next morning Julie step ped out into i fresh, bright, summer morning tnat promissd to dry the wet earth. "Hi, J.nie," came a voice from nearby. It was Timothy Trum ble, the'r fifteen-year-old, next door neighbor. "Are you still planning to get a purple ribbon on those pahitirgs cf yours" he teased. "I didn't get Lhem entered in t.'me." Julie .:id forlornly. "That'.? too bao." Tim mur mured sypatheticiy. Then his expression r hanged to a thoughtful frown. "Maybe you could still enter them. Mother was down at the hall arranging the entries last evening, you know. She said tnat later in the evening they received a tele phone coll from the one who's supposfcc' to judge the contest, saying -hat he couldn't come until morning. So perhaps it's possible that you could still en ter them." "Do you mean inat?" squealed Julie. "I wouldn't have said it if 1 didn't." Returning qiucklj with the paintings, Julie cried excitediy, "Let's go!" Julie breathed a deep sigh of relief. A' last he- pictures were entered. "I wonder what you'd do with out me." Tim began teasing again. Paying little attention t0 this last remark, Juh - suddenly ask ed. "Who will ju-.ge the paint ing?" "It's an old fella named Loek wood. He hurt hi.-; rnkle or some thing, and that's why he could n't come last night." "Lockwood?" echoed Julie in surprise. "Yes. a man named C. Lock wood, lie's an artist himself." Then h" added, "You'd like him, Julie. Perhaps you'll get an op portunity to meet him." "Yes, Julie mjrmured with a little smile, "Yes, maybe I will."

A much denser dehydrated mashed pota to product developed by the Ag ricultural Research Service La boratory near Philadelphia re quires only a third to a half as much storage and shipping space as potato flakes. Flake lets are reconstituted into mashed potatoes just as easily and quickly as flakes, and with the same good flavor and tex ture. Flakes, which have been pro duced commercially for the past years are produced by 12 American plants with a total capacity of 65 million pounds. Flakelets were developed spec ifically for the military services, hotels, restaurants and other institutional users. Some flake manufacturers plan to produce flakelets. 'Denier' and 'Gauge' Defined Lincoln Women shoppers often are confused by terms "de nier" and "gauge" when buying hose. For th;s reason, hosiery is often sold as evening sheers, daytime sheer, business, walking service weight or super service weight. These terms provide an easy guide for the shopper in terms of individual needs. According to Gerda Petersen, Extension clothing specialist at the University of Nebraska, de nier refers' to the weight and thickness of each thread of nylon yarn. The numbers vary from 7 to 80. The lower the denier num ber. . .the thinner the yarn. . . making the stocking more sheer. Gauge refers to the number of stitches in an inch and one-half width. Giug3 is used in full fa s h i o n e d hose and varies between 51 and 75. The higher gauge gives more 'Stretch. Needle ':ount is used in seamless hosiery and is similar to gauge. RETURNS $1,400 Meade, Kans. Receiving $1,400 at a cattle sale, Quinby Demmitt put the money in his wallet, which he lost a few hours later. The wallet was found but it was empty.

Canning Is Still Popular in Farm And City Homes LINCOLN Has canning dis appeared along with the fruit cellar? On the contraiy, the kit chen shelf lined with gleaming jars of home canned food is by no means a thing of the past. Mrs. Clara Leopold, home management specialist at the University of Nebraska, says that 00 per cent of the farm families and 30 per cent of the city families do some home can ning. Home freezing is done by 60 per cent of the farm families and 10 per cent of the city fam ilies. According to Mrs. Leopold, if economy is the main reason for home food preservation, canning saves more money but freezing requires less labor.
