safer and more efficient than dull
ones. Dull tools may slip, stick,
or slide and cause accidents or
injuries. Replace split, broken,
or Sharp-edged handles. Avoid
splinters and other wounds. Don't
fail to get first aid for any cut
or scratch, no matter how slight.
Either a chest or a rack is good
for the storage of tools, but which
ever type of storage arrangement
is used, tools should be handled
carefully when being removed
or replaced. Carry any cutting
tool with the blade facing down

any substitute for a hammer.
When driving nails, start the nail
with a few light taps, then remove
your hand and proceed.

much powered machinery is now
being used, even for the more
simple tasks, and this needs to be
handled with great care.

Study Location
Of Outdoor
Living Room

The popularity of outdoor liv-
ing on the home property has
grown greatly in recent years.
But locate it properly, advises
the American Aociation Of NurS-
erymen.
Location of the outdoor living
space is a matter of convenience.
If you wish regularly to serve
food there, it should be near the
kitchen and have partial shade;
for picnicking it may be further
back on the property. For sleep
ing and resting, it should be in
the quietest location, with shrubs
and trees used for sound barriers.
For sun bathing it must be pri-
vate, and where you get the most

best outdoor living site.
Once located you can make the
outdoor living space private and

From Around Nebraska

From time to time, Blair has dreamed of new payrolls and
businesses Tor the community. Oddly enough, no one has given
much consideration to a creamery although similar businesses
have been highly successful at Tekamah, Lyons and numerous
other places.
Less than Is miles away is the creamery at Logan, Iowa

The Logan creamery is another which has been successful
and the report given to the stockholders revealed that in spite of

was l72a3.121 pounds, and the gross business done by the
creamery was in excess of ssaoOOo. Milk producers in the
area were paid $4,000 in dividends over and above the regular
amount given them for their cream.

the Scribner Rustler reported. 1t is presumed the fox had been
In captivity while young and had escaped to resume his life as a
wild animal.
The same hunter reported that a short time prior to killing
the fox, he had caught a coon which was wearing a collar. The
newspaper Is seeking information about the collar to determine
how far the coon might have travelled from his captors.
A style show, recently staged at Neigh for the benefit of
the community hospital, netted $1,000 in proceeds, the Neigh
Leader reported last week. The big affair turned out to be a
social highight of the year. Lyle DeMoss of Omaha was the
Master of Ceremonies. S~ixtyfour models strutted their stuff.
They were recruited from Neigh, Clearwater, Ewing, Tilden,
Orchard, Omaha, Petersburg and numerous other places.
Last week the City Council at Central City ordered the use
of Parking Meters abandoned for 80 days to see if the Sc park
ing fee was having n effect o. business there. So during that
time, the police department slipped the heads off the meter
poles and put them into storage.
All of this happened just in time for the merchants to use
the meter poles as standards for their flags and on Washingtons
birthday the streets were lined with flags stuck into the poles.
1t was a sample of American ingenuity at work.

a narrow margin last week. The S250OOO bond issue was voted

Are We Going TO
Hold The Bag"?

We would like to be optimistic about the proposed Federal school
aid bill passing with a rider barring funds from school districts and
counties refusing to desegregate as the U. S. Supreme Court decreed,
but it looks very much like the bag is being readied for us to hold.
Undoubtedly the controversial rider introduced by Representative
Adam c. Powell viii get a large Republican and outofthe7South Dem
may even pass it, but the prospect of the Senate doing so seems I'M
fortunately to be remote.
Not only are the segregaionsts in Congress opposed to the rider.
but also the President, the Welfare Department, the various big edu-
cation associations, the building industry and the building trades
unions, for all of whom this closetotwobilion dollars is a windfall
President Eisenhower displaying remarkable ambvalence supports
the Supreme Court ukase against segregated public schools on the
one hand while on the other he insists that "there should be nothing
that is put on this thing that delays. construction"
The segregatonists are all for this big Federal handout because
knowing that whether or not they desegregate their public schools, the
the amount of building to be done is extensive and costly, and this
appropriation will take them off the hook.
Then, this is a Presidential election year, and political wiseacres in
the COP ranks feel that passage of a huge education appropriation
will tend to offset the probable loss of votes a a result of the Supreme
Courts desegregaton decree.
OF course, House Minority Leader Joe Martin can blandly assert
that he Is confident of the measures passage in the House with the
rider attached, but so astute a politician as he must know that a Senate
flibuder will kill it.
The construction and AFICIO Hobbies have been fighting like mad
very big contracts in nearly two billions of dollars Of new business.
while the latter sees more construction jobs and a fat increase in initia-
ton and membership fees, if the law passes with on rider.
The education associations, who have also decried the antisegre-
cation rider, are not unmindful of the advantages to the profession
OF thousands OF new schools, meaning many more jobs on all levels.
The CALLING thing about this is that even those who favor public
school desegregauon will have to go along with whatever laws is pass
ed and help finance the project because they have no choice, and that
means most Negroes and a large proportion of whites.

nothing frivolous about this, for
