you think?
DEAR c. S.:
I THINK your mother has q
L cast iron nerve TO try to play
on your sympathies with talk Of
nee d Ing your companionship
now, after having casually
abandoned you along with your
father before your life was well
begun.
think she is a brazenly self
ish woman. who has no more in
terest in your welfare today
than she had when she deserted
you 20 years ago.
She is not even animated by
sticky sentimental regret for
her past neglect and the pain II
caused you, In trying to make
capital of the blood tie at this
late date.
What she wants is q man
around the house in the role Of
lackey; and she is perfectly
willing TO spoil the second
chapte OF your life as she
spoiled the first, IL necessary, to
chain you in that capacity.
II is rather impressive that
you confess a sense OF duty TO
your unnatural mother; and
that you could find 1t in your
heart TO stay single and take
care Of her. II she really needed
you.
But in my opinion, you might
as well pour water in sieve
and expect TO drink from il
when thirsty, as spend your
young manhood in sacrificial de-
votion 10 her. In the hope Of
printing a return in kind.

BETTER HEALTH
BY DR.. Logan Clendening-

A THEORY that has been adj
"A vanced about tonsils Is that
they supply an internal secre-
ton. but this can hardly be true
because we have records Of
thousands Of human beings
whose tonsils and adenoids
were removed in early life and
suffered no consequences IN the
way of health, growth or in
telligence.
One phenomenon about them
Is worth knowing by beginning
mothers and fathers.
. They are very large at birth
and constantly atrophy and re-
cede through life.
The new mother may look in
the baby's mouth and find these
red, spongy masses filling the
entire back OF the throat. and
then by comparison she looks
in papa's throat and can't see
any at all, and she may rush 10
the conclusion that there Is
something very serious the
matter with junior.
But such is not the case.
II is perfectly natural for
junior to have big tonsils which
look AS If they would not allow
Nhim 10 swallow.
= The question as 10 whether
1the tonsils should come out or
not is a moot one.
There is no question that they
are natural breeding places for
infection and tonsilitis is
potentially dangerous disease.
Certainly there could be no
argument that after the first
real attack of tonsilitis the tom
sis should come out. because
one attack pre-disposes to
others.

We, the undersigned, have
watched with special interest the
career Of District Judge FRANK
M. DINEEN.
On his return from army service
in World War I, Judge Dineen at
tended Creighton University of
Law, graduating in 1920. Ell e
served as city prosecuting attorney
2 years and as municipal Judge Of
Omaha 6 years.
After serving as a municipal
judge, Judge Dineen was advanced
to the post of District Judge in
1928, and has proved himself a
jurist of outstanding ability
through his work in our district
court III the past Is years. We
commend him for his fairness,
honesty, intellectual integrity, and
his answering impartiality to all
The Omaha guide., 1944-11-04

litigants. His decisions T rem
dered only after the most thorough
and capable consideration of the
evidence and the law.
Judge Dineen is well versed in
the law, has the judicial tempera-
ment, is honest, fearless and fair,
rendering his decisions on the evil
dence and the law. Voters Of
Douglas, Burt and Washington
Counties, comprising Nebraska's
Fourth Judicial District, have
shown their approval of his work
on the District Bench by keeping
him in this office four terms.
We. the undersigned, believe
that the people of this District
should continue to benefit from his
ability and experience. We, there
fore, urge the voters of Omaha to
re-elect JUDGE DINEEN on Nov

this money on a $3.50 basis to obtain It. If Nebraska does
match il, the State has over $51, ooo,o 900 to spend for high
way construction for the first three postwar years.
Amendment Does the Job
That is where the Good Roads Constitutional Amend
ment comes in. Under present revenues, Nebraska cannot
carry out such a matching program.
But if all of the revenue from the now permanent scent
gas tax, plus the motor vehicle registration and license fees,
were applied to this task, the job can be done. That is
Just what the Amendment provides-that these revenues,
which were originally levied to build roads, shall be used
exclusively for that purpose.
The motorist would put up the entire $51 ,oOo, 900. One
half through the registration and license fees and the scent
gas tax paid to the state. The other half, which is put up
by the Federal government to be matched by Nebraska, is
paid by the motor vehicle owner. too. The 1H1-cent gas
tax, the S. Use tax, and the Federal Excise taxes, levied on
everything the motor vehicle owner buys, provides the
Federal government with far more money than has ever
been appropriated for Federal Aid in building highways.
Proposal Is Very Simple
So, the 100000 motor vehicle owners are willing to pay
for this big $51, ooo,o 900 program all by themselves. La
addition, they offer 70 join hands with the other million
Nebraskans-to provide in any way the legislature decides
The Omaha guide., 1944-11-04

= II Is the combination Of two factors that makes ii pos
s;bIe for Nebraskans to vote YES on $51,ooo,ooo in Jobs
for CI Joe on November 7th, First, the Postwar Federal
Aid Highway Act of 1914 makes $25,9So,ooo available to
Nebraska for matching. Second, the Good Roads Consutu-
donal Amendment provides that the revenue from the
license fees and the now permanent scent gas tax shall be
used only for building and maintaining highways. Only by
this procedure will Nebraska have the 81, 9So,ooo needed
by the state 70 match the $25,9So,ooo in federal aid funds
and thus have $51 100000 to spend for Jobs for 81 Joe
In building Nebraska's highways and streets in the first
three postwar years.
"A Notionul Post-Wor Employment Program
The Congress of the United States, recognizing that high
way construction gives the highest possible ratio of employ
ment for each dollar spent, will give priority after the cur.
rent recess to the passage of the Postwar Federal Aid
Highway Act of 1914. This bill, already assured OF pras,
IDEALLY unanimous approval, appropriates $5Oo,OOO,OOO
each year for three years for postwar highway construc-
don. Consider the impact on postwar employment, when
the Public Roads Administration states that 90 cents OF
every dollar spent for highways goes TO labor.
OF this $5oo,oOo,ooo annual appropriation BY Congress-,
the bill specifically alIots to Nebraska 49, 600 per year,
