HOUSEWIVES URGED TO
CARE FOR APPLIANCES

Omaha homemakers are urged
by Metropolitan District officials
to take good care of their gas
appliances War time scarcity Of
steel and other metals makes it
important that present appliances
be kept in service for a longer per-
iod than normally.
The Servel gas refrigerator is
extremely long lasting, due to the
fact that it has no moving parts,
and with reasonable care even mi
nor repairs are hardly eve need
ed. Follow manufacturers instruc
tons in caring for this appliance.
Automatic gas water heaters,
properly adjusted, will last for
years without attention. 1t is a
good practice to drain off a bucket
or so of hot water directly from
the valve on the lower part of the
tank about once every two weeks.
This flushes out sediment from thfi
bottom of the tank, keeps the hot
water clear, and prevents excess
i've tank corrosion.
With ordinary care a Gas Range
will give many years of faithful
efficient cooking service. Here
are a few simple suggestions that
will add extra years to the usefu'
lie of your gas range:
1. CARE OF BURNERS-Re-
move and clean top burners once
a week. Brush or wipe off accun
, ulated dirt. If absolutely neces
sary, scrub burners with hot SOAP
suds. BUT BE SURE TO HOLD
PORTHOLES DOWN so NO WA

CROSSES"


On Gods eternal word I stand
And guided by His hand
I'll lift the cross of His dear Sol
Until my life On earth is done.
And through His mighty power
In this our trying hour,
Lift the problems of my race
Upheld by Gods own grace
THE Cross of the Klu Klux
Is a burning cross of shame!
To every true American
Who bears the name.
And America is to blame
For letting the Klu Klux Khan
Use its cross of shame
To strike terror in the hearts
of any group OF man,
Who bears her name.
For the cross of the xxx is
unholy, unAmerican-
The old world suffered a ter
rible loss,
Through Hitler's crooked cross
The emblem of prejudice and
hate,
With ruin in its wake!
There is just one cross,
That stands for justice and
right,
And that is the radiant cross
of Christ,
That can turn this world dark
ness into light
And shall forever shine,
And lead men Alright!
Until the end Of time
Other crosses will someday fall
But the cross of our Blessed
Christ,
The Saviour of us all.
Shall stand when this old world
is gone,
When Gods Eternal Day shall
dawn
he cross of Christ shall be,
Gods children's guarantee
Of life throughout eternity!
OH war torn world which shall
it be?
The cross of Christ that leads
to life and light,
OR a crooked cross or a flam-
ming one
That leads to death and des-
truction,
In this world and in the world
to come.
