SO what happens in Hastings

DR.. Robert X. Lamb. formerly
Of progressive Bennington coll

OF the Tolan committee staff.

Along comes defense. At least
two Of the 20 industries get de-
tense contracts. one for 5000 900
worth of practice shells and an
other for 500, 1000 worth OF meat
blocks for army camp butchers.
Other manufacturers began to
feel the pinch for raw mate
rails: the hay fever air condi-
toner plant. the culvert and
grain bin makers, the tire pump
plant, the fire extinguisher fac
tory. The power plant has trou-
Bile getting copper wire.
Labor starts to pick up and
go places. Selective service gets
some. Farm labor, in a year
when the crops are good and
there is an active demand for
farm labor, hears the call of bet
ter jobs elsewhere. Some of this
farm labor perhaps goes into
Hastings to take the jobs left
vacant by the men from Hast
ings who go TO take jobs in
Wichita and Omaha.

by the head. sixty-five that he
knows personally have moved
out to take defense jobs.
The picture is not all gloom.
Married teachers are again hired
for this school year and every
graduate of Hastings college who
wanted to teach has found a
job. The relief picture has
changed. Nebraska unemploy-
ment is the lowest in eight
years, with $4,000 untitled jobs
in the skilled trades.
And that, roughly, is the pic
ture of Hastings in defense.
Hastings is a symbol. for the
same thing is going on from
Florida to Washington state.
Congressman Curtis has a bunch
that after this is all over the
young folks who roamed may
come back home. but he doesn't
know in what shape.

] wouldn't doubt that they are
made of aluminium. Even II they
are made OF die-cast metal or
brass they would be using
metals necessary for military
use.
In my opinion these meters
are illegal; by what right can
the public be forced to pay for
the right to park on a public
street, constructed with funds
collected by taxes or assess
ments from the public
Why does the city spend
thousands for meters and at the
same time neglect to keep yell
low lines painted in the pave
=. ment: which are certainly more
necessary to the interests Of
public safety than parking
meters. Motorists are forced to
grope their way through fog and
rain on streets without the aid
OF yellow fog lines TO guide
them. When the city limits are
crossed, and then only. the mo-
torist has the helpful aid of yell

THUNDERSTORM
BROUGHT HEAT
WAVE RELIEF
Followed BY Successive
Days of Hot Weather
10 Inch Precipitation

A thunderstorm out of the north
early Monday morning, bringing
more rain in a few hours than
the entire July months fall,
brought some relief to this heat
bathed section as farmers contin-
ued to take from the land a crop
of small grain blighted by rust and
too much heat.
Monday mornings storm, accom-
panied by high winds, smatter-
ing of hail and violent displays
of lightning, brought a rainfall OF
10 Of an inch to this city, accord
ing to measurements of Henry
Rydholm. The single fall in the
course Of few hours early in the
month exceeded the entire rainfall
Of the month of July measured
at Sc Of an inch.
The rains came after Is sue
cessive days of the heat wave
in which temperatures had
mounted to 80 or more each
day and had reached a local
high of 1O4 on July 23rd. Brief
respites at night and early
morning during the period had
made it bearable but uncom-
Portable humidity had been
high.

Grain ripened almost Immediately
and farmers were sent scurryine
to the fields to take it out.
In the fifteen days virtually al
small grain has been cut and q
great percentage of it threshed
although threshing continued In
many places this week.
With temperatures moving down
in the early morning Of the fore,
part of the week, people took heart
in the break, but still regarded II
suspiciously as temporary. Tenn

RUSH HOLT
VISITED CITY
ON HONEYMOON
Ex-senator and
Bride Were Guests
Of Gerald Shively

Sank Centre figured this week
in the wedding trip Of ex-senator
from West Virginia, Rush Holt, SO,
today active in the anti-war move
ment, and his June bride, the
former Helen Froelich, of Gridley,
Illinois, when they visited here
Monday with Gerald Shively.
Known as the "baby" senator be-
fore his defeat for the upper house
in the most recent election, Holt
was in fact so young he had to
wait until his 30th birthday to
take the oath Of office.
It was not that Shively had
known Holt but that he had known
the Senator's bride when she was
a student at Stephens College and
he was teaching at the University
of Missouri that occasioned the
visit.
Holt, filling in the answer to
the question of what do ex-
senators do, Is now on an am
bilious book writing program
with publishers busy on two
works, "Who's Who Among the
War Mongers" and British
Network" Both are based on
the West virginian's active an
ti-intervention and In some in
stances anti-British views.
Fact Of the matter is, he told
Shively, is that the books will be
published this fall-if we don't
have war. If this country active
ly gets into the fracas-no books
from Mr.. Hollis pen at the NOM
ent.
He expressed a certain amount
of surprise over the intensity OF
feeling in this section against our
doing anything to get us directly
into the war.
Holt has been so outspoken on
his views that now on his honey
moon he decided he would pass UP
Canada with caution. He feared
he might not get back to the
States, he intimated. He asked to
see Sinclair Lewis home so that
he could go back east and "kid
him about it." And he might ev.
en- come back later some time fol
a spot of Minnesota fishing.
Mr.. and Mrs. Holt are now or
a circle tour by car of the coun.
try which is mainly a wedding
trip but which Mr.. Holt used tc
deliver a speech now and then
They were married June 10.

URGED TO AID DEFENSE

All Selective Service registrants
in Minnesota who have been de-
ferred from military service were
urged today by Brigadier General
J. E. Nelson, Acting, the Adjutant
General for Minnesota, to offer their
full assistance to State and local
civilian defense agencies and it
was suggested that enlistment in
the Minnesota Defense Force con-
stitutes one of the concrete ways
a registrant might offer his SER
vices. There are units in so COM
munities throughout Minnesota

them-in which registrant might

ment because of his occupation or
