The Need For
Cooperative Planning

In obedience to the mind OF
Christ as with one accord we
strive to know it, and in keeping
with declarations of Protestant
leaders in Nebraska through the
Nebraska Council of Churches,
we, members of the Extension and
Church Planning Committee of
the Omaha Council Of Churches,
and severally members of our re-
spective communions, do declare
that the common loyalty of our
churches to the cause of Christ
ought to find expression more
fully in our planning together and
cooperation for the extension of
the church in Omaha. The task
of winning the city is too big for
any one communion. 1t is a COM
mon responsibility of all. Omaha
should have enough churches, but
not too many. They should be
good churches. adequate to the
developing needs of their com
munities, not overlapping in their
efforts, and showing forth their
overmastering loyalty in harmon
ious labors in the common cause.

has granted free automobiles or
other motor conveyances to 139
disabled veterans in Nebraska
who lost the use of n or both
legs at or above the ankle dur
ing war service, Ashley West
moreland, VA Lincoln regional
office manager, reported today.
To date, 100 veterans already
have delivery on their vehicles
at an average cost Of $1588 each.
he said. and added that the cell
ing price on such conveyances
was set by congress at $1,000.
In all, 204 veterans applied
for vehicles since the program
went into effect on June 80, 1916,
but SO claimants were declared
ineligible by VA, Westmoreland
said. He added that last congress
recently extended the deadline
for making application to July
1, 1948.
Westmoreland pointed out that
eligible veterans need not restict
their choice of a vehicle to an
automobile, but may choose in
stead a tractor, truck, jeep or
station wagon. He said the gov
eminent will provide only one
vehicle to a veteran.

500 Gallon Paint Job
Coats Technical High

Not only is Superintendent of
Schools DR.. Harry A. Burke a
noted educator, but he seems to
be a talented and accomplished
interior decorator. AS evidence Of
this fact, a Techster has only to
walk down the halls. One glance
at the walls and ceilings will tell
him that no amateur selected the
color scheme. Unlike the conflict
of opinion existing this season as
to the length of women's dresses,
there is no argument that the
paint project has met with every
ones approval. According to the
plans Of DR.. Burke, the halls in
every floor are being a different
color. So far the first four floors
have been completed. The fifth
is still to be done except for the
lunch room.
q. ~ EI
Already approximately five
hundred gallons of paint have
been used by the contractors. The
painting firm is the Ak-Sar-Ben
Decorating Company of Omaha.
Fourteen men, not including the
contractor, Mr.. Harold Knusgen.

of Tech High. The company com

when the job is to be completed
is still unsettled.

students will keep it that way.

Lloyd w. Ashley
Replaces DIR. Hansen
At High Post

Technical High School has a
fine history and is known throu-
ghout the country. In the future
it can be made into the KIND OF
school that the students, faculty
and the citizens of Omaha want
to make it, This is a statement
Of Lloyd w. Ashby, the new prin-
cipal of Technical High school
who replaces DR.. Hansen, former
head at Tech. now acting as
assistant superintendent OF
Schools in Washington D. G.
Mr. Ashby is familiar with Ne
braska schools, having been a
teacher at Kearney, and acting
as principal at the Junior and
Senior High School in Gothenberg
before going to Richmond, Ind
lana. There he was principal OF
the oldest Junior High in Ameri-
! &C. During the war Mr.. Ashby
served as Personnel Manager at
the Perfect Circle Company.
To come to Tech, Mr.. Ashby
left his work as principal at Mo
line Senior High and Junior Col
lege because he considered this
position an advancement and be
lieved that it afforded an oppor.
tunity for useful service.
Techs new principal disclosed
that he is in favor of a strong
program in all phases of athletics
However, he stated that other
divisions of the school are just
as important and should also be
extended and improved.
fRegradless Of the fact that
Tech does not have the advantage
of a Stadium of it's own" said
Mr.. Ashby, I'm sure that the
students will make the best OF
what they do have and back
their team throughout the foot
ball season.
Mr.. Ashby arrived in Omaha
on the first of August to take
over the reins at Tech. His wife
and their two daughters cam,
later and are now living will
him at a newly purchased home
in Benson. One daughter, Elaine
IA, is attending Benson because
OF the nearess of the school. The
other daughter, Carolyn, 10, il
starting her Junior year at Omaha
University.
