American Education Week is to be
observed this year from November
9th to 18th. 1t is sponsored by the
American Legion, the National Edu-
cation Association, and the United
States Office of Education. It's pur-
pose is to furnish ar occasion each
year when a the people may consider
anew the ideals, purposes, and
achievements Of universal education.
The theme for the week this year
IS: Meeting the Emergency in Edu-
cation. 1t is felt by many that du-
ring this critical period in our nat
ions history, when changes in eco
nomic ideas and practices follow n
another so rapidly, the establishments
may result in the essential some
times beng discarded with the out
worn. Free and universal education
must be preserved as an important
part of the basis for selfgovernment.
Therefore, it is hoped that such sub
jects as-The increased responsible
tiles Of the schools, Financial sup
port of the schools, and the schools
and reconstruction - may be widely
and thoroughly discussed during this
week devoted to m~emoralizing our
progress in universal education and
rededicating ourselves to its ideas.
NOW, THEREFORE, l, Charles
w. Bryan, Governor of Nebraska, do
hereby set aside and proclaim the
week Of November 9th to 18th to be
American Education Week and urge
that it be so observed throughout our
state. May the press, the radio, the
pulpit and the platform encourage
and aid in its observance. Cur
schools need and are worthy of such
recognition and cooperation.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I
have set my hand and caused the
Governors seal to be affixed.
Done at the Capitol n the city
of Lincoln, Nebraska, this 10th
day of October, in the year of
our Lord, Nineteen Hundred and
and Thirty-Three.

Dear Miss Perkins:

Washington, II. ".
Dear Miss Perkins:
Investigating employment situa-
tons on federal relief projects not
only in our city, but all over the
country, we find a gross discrimina-
ton as to color exists.
| am sure in planning the National
Recovery Administration and signing
for these various relief projects to
aid employment, President Roose-
velt's intentions were that all should
share in same regardless of race or
creed.
In u city we find those appoint
ed to hire men to work on these
projects have failed to give consider
alton to Colored workmen, and we
are writing to ask that you instruct
those in charge to manifest no dis
elimination as to color regarding
employment. A further example
where u group has been discrimin-
ated against is the New Federal
Building under construction in our
city. Out of the vast number en-
ored representatives, and these only
ployed there have only been two Col
part time.
Hotel maids employed any number
of years, giving satisfactory service
have been recently discharged and
those of another nationality taken
on, inorder it has been stated to pre-
vent paying members of our group
the minimum wage We realize these
are independent concerns. but such
actions do not help the unemploy-
ment situation among our group in
this city.
These cases have been brought to
our attention any number of times,
and | am hoping some plan will be
formulated 80 that all will receive
the same consideration when seeking
employment in proportion to others.
Thanking you very much for what
ever consideration you may give, I
am,
Resectfully yours,

Quassapaug Dancing
 On Sundays Pleases

Dancing at Lake Quassapaug on Sunday nights is going to be very popular Judging from the crowd that packed the dance hall on the opening Sunday evening. Manager O'Connell has been somewhat re- luctant to open the dance pavilion on Sunday. but he finally acceded to the numerous requests of the many patrons of this popular park. Quassapaug does not go in for spectacular features in either its arnusements or its orchestras. It is attractive enough by itself. It is short run from the city, along a fine new highway. It has always had excellent dance music. There Is any number of amusements on these summer afternoons, including bathing, boating. fishing, aeroplane swings, merry y-go-rounds, skee ball, an up-to-date rife range, miniature autos, in fact everything that makes 1t pleasant for days outing.

Buying is bewildering these days.
 The windows and shelves of many stores are filled with unfamiliar pack ages bearing bargain prices" that are temptingly low. Clerks frequently urge you to try something just as good'' as the dependable brands you know and ask for.
 But it takes more than low price to make bargaini More than a clerks promise to give you qualityl
 The safe bargains to buy now are the products made by manufacturers who have reputations to uphold. Brands which you know-either through your own experience or by their advertising
 Remember this whenever you shop:
The Waterbury Democrat., 1933-07-18

"Just-as-good" brands must usually be made cheaper to sell for such cheap price All too frequently, the only reason they are urged upon you is because they pay maker and dealer more profit than other products which are better known and of better quality.
 And don't forget this: Many of the familiar, reliable brands now cost less than they have in years. But only the price is lower. Quality is still high.
 Think of these things, and look at the name as well as the price when you buy. Ask for what you want And insist on getting what you ask for. Then you will always be sure of full value for every penny you spend =

U.N.SO-I live in a shack a few
yards from Barnegat Light. A
fisherman is always interested in
the weather. So some time be-
tween 1890 and /. a. m. today I
stepped out Of my shack to take a
hook at things. It was a wicked
night. There was plenty Of fog.
I looked up and saw the Akron.
The airship was only a quarter Of
a mile off shore. She was point
ing toward the land and having a
hard time Of it.
I could barely hear her engines
on account Of the noise Of the
wind.
There was lots of lightning.
Then there was a streak mile
wide, which lighted the Akron up
from stem to stern Then the
lightning died out. Right after
wards the rear binder on the air.
ship went out. don't know what
might have happened, but her tail
light just went out.
It looked like the ship was fight
ing to make the land. Then the
fog closed around her solid. I
couldn't see her anymore. I
think she must have lost her bear.
ings after that in the fog and the
wind forced her out to sea again.

Akron's Radio Silenced Early Last Night,
Lending Credence to Theory of Lightning

At $3.50 p. m. the Akron's
radio reported Weather bad"
At 8 o'clock he reported the ship
was nosing into a thunderstorm.
Various communications were
held for the next three-quarterS
of an hour, when, without warn
ing, the Akron's radio was
Silenced.
No Reason for Crash
Should any part of the diri-
gible'S huge frame or covering
have been damaged or causing it
to drop, it is believed by diriglble
authorities, the radio operator
would have had time to send out
at least an SOS.
Navy officials were awaiting q
report from Commander Wiley
before commenting upon the
tragedy.
These officials believe the big
airShip probably was struck by
lightning.
Their theory was that the ship
was struck, crashed into the sea,
and the wreckage caught fire.
