The play, written in lyrical, semi-poetical
style, is by no means restricted to children.
There are some sophisticated elements in it that
only an adult, and an astute one at that can
fathom. And as for the kids, our source advises
to plant 'em in front of the TV Set The story,
we feel sure, won't be too rough on them.

and sincere thanks for all those
who have made this building pos
sible.
A community building of this
type has long been needed by the
people of Lincoln and surround
ing communities A drive for do
nations was started on February 1,
1856, and succeeded enough to give
the Board the enthusiasm to get the
building started.
The concrete block building de-
signed by Mr.. Calvin Clenadniel,
architect of Lincoln, began to form
in May, 1856, by Mr.. Everett john
son, contractor, with an auditori-
um 40'xS0', complete modern kit
chen, public facilities, and pri-
vate meeting room with fireplace.
The Board of Directors expects
the building to be in demand con-
stantly for use of suppers, dances,
parties, plays, shows, private meet
ings, wedding receptions, elec-
tions, and any other occasion that
may arise.
The Board of Directors also ex-
tend their thanks to all people who
helped work on the building in one
way or the other whenever they
could spare the time. The long
tedious hours of work have now
grown into modern building
which everyone can be proud OF
and which has been needed and de-
sired by the people.
We are hoping to see you Sun
day, December 9th, between 2:OO-

Good Nesting Practices
Produce Clean Eggs

Egg producers suffer heavy fl
nancial losses every year because
of soiled eggs because they do not
receive as much for soiled eggs as
for clean ones. More than SO per-
cent of eggs are clean when laid,
yet the percent of soiled eggs at
the time of gathering may go as
high as S0@o. These eggs become
soiled while in the nest by soiled
nesting material, by dirt on the
feet of the layers or by dirty hands
when gathering the eggs.
Two important factors in good
management practices can remedy
this dirty egg problem, says Ray
Lloyd, Assistant County Agent. The
first of these is having enough
nests. A survey of management
practices indicate that where in
dividual nests are used, one nest
should be provided for every four
or five layers. One nest for four
birds is recommended for the high
producing egg strain. Where COM
munity nests are used, provide one
2 10 nest for each 100 layers.
The second factor in keeping

Upon entering the store, one is
fascinated by the restfully and har-

This is truly a store designed for
the customers shopping comfort,
and the interior provides for easy
selection.
Unon entering, there is a large
display on the right displaying
every style available in the store,
with makes it easy for the custo-
mer to make his selection. Further
along is the lovely feminine set
ting of the Women's Department
and also the Mems Department,
which is furnished with heavy
man-sized chairs.
With the store departmentalized,
it is obvious that the Bata Shoe
Store is carrying fuII selection
and range of footwear for every
member of the family from Nom
and Dad right down to Junior.
During the opening days, Bata
has reserved an array of free gifts
which will be given away with each
purchase. There are flowers and
compacts for the ladies, money
clips made of geunine leather and
lighters for the men, pen knives
and picture cases for teen-agers,
and a large selection of toys for
the kiddies.
AS one can see, all signs point to
a gala opening of the fine new Bata
Shoe Store, and everybody should
make it a point to visit them.

leTy, choir loft, and kitchen. Many
prominent pastors have served the
Avenue congregation since 1889

gress. His son, Jonathan S. Willis,

members of his family are very

eggs clean, says Mr.. Lloyd, is to
provide plenty of clean, dry nest
ing material. In tests conducted
by the U.S.D.A., the percent of
soiled eggs rose from percent
where clean dry nesting material
was used to 81 percent when the
nesting material was damp and
dirty. A fine material such as shaw
ings, sawdust, finely ground corn
cobs, crushed cane stalks or one
of the commercial nesting materi-
ais makes better nesting material
than coarse material like straw,
weeds, or hay.
Four other practices also help
to keep eggs clean. ID Gather eggs
at least +"ree times a day; (2)
Keep the litter dry; 90 Keep the
birds confined to the house; and
(4 Use wire covered dropping.
Mr.. Lloyd suggests that egg pro-
ducers should count their layers
and divide by four and then count
their nests to see if there are
enough. He also suggests definite
time each week be set aside to
check on nesting material in the
nests.
