Gross Says That Much of Ne braska Corn Crop This Year Is Unfit for 1936 Planting. D. L. Gross, extension agronomist at the agricultural college, warns farmers they will face a serious seed corn situation next spring unless im mediate efforts are made to locate good seed. "A great deal of the late corn which predominates in many sections of Nebraska this year has been in jured by freezing weather and very little of it will make good seed for the 193 C crop." Gross said. With very little 1933 corn available any place and hardly any crop produced last year, most of the farmers will have to depend upon this year's crop to furnish seed." The lack of good, sound ears In most fields will make the task of seed selection more difficult this year. Gross believes. He recommended im mediate selection of the best possible seed and hanging the ears up In a dry place to dry out. Barn lofts, un less well ventilated, are not the best place for such drying out process, he said. CITY RECORD TRANSCRIBING AND TAX PROJECT APPROVED From Tuesday's Dally.

You Would Agree If you personally inspected our fun eral home, you would agree with those who have had this opportunity, that it is a real home in every sense of the word. In addition, of course, it possesses all the facilities which should he a part of every funeral home, and which will make our efforts more effective, and those we serve more comfortable.

Health Examination Nov. 25 - 26 - 27 HOTEL PLATTSMOUTH If T'-TfT'"1-" FIRE PREVENTION ESSENTIALS A report cf the Committee pn Fire Prevention and Engineering" Stand ards of the National Beard of Fire Underwriters, issued a few months ago, says: "A comparison of grad ing of cities inspected in 1934, with corresponding gradings of five and ten years previous, indicates that there has been a general improve ment in the adequacy and reliability of city water systems. Fire depart ments were Improving steadily until the depression but, because of lessen ed appropriations which cause da re duction in man power, the depart ments show a deficiency greater than in 1924. On the average there has been practically no improvement in fire alarm or in regard to adoption and enforcement of laws controlling building construction and hazards." That report illustrates a situation of the utmost gravity a situation which is undoubtedly largely respon sible for the high fire loss through out the nation. The type of "econ omy" which permits fire departments to become run down, either in equipment or personnel, is poor econ omy indeed every dollar saved is likely to be offset a dozen times in fire loss, to say nothing of destruc tion of life. The same thing is true of fire alarm systems, which are the verysoul of an efficient system of fire extinguishing. Even more important, perhaps, are up-to-date, strictly enforced building codes. It i3 better to prevent fire than to put one out and a building 'code that makes it impossible to con struct house3 or places of business below the fire-resistant standards, and that eliminates the fire traps that exist in almost every community, is the best friend fire prevention has. A model building code was prepared years ago by the National Board, and cities which have adopted and en forced it report that it has been ex ceedingly efficacious in reducing loss. Every community should keep its fire department up to standard should maintain an A-l alarm sys tem and should adopt a building code which provides for the best pos sible standards of construction, resi dential and industrial alike. Those are essential maneuvers in the never ending war against fire. RETURNS HOME Mrs. Fred J. Drucker returned to her Home at Plattsmouth after a week's visit at the home of her daughter, Mrs. A. J.

Thirty Now Enrolled The Union Red Cross chapter has now enrolled thirty members for the coming year, with the drive for mem berships having some ten days to go at the time this report is written. The drive ends Thanksgiving day. Fol lowing is the list of those who have been enrolled to date: Mrs. R. E. Fos ter, Augusta Robb, Mont Robb, Opal Griffin, Orval Hathawey, Mrs. G. S. Upton, Mrs. Charles Garrison, Clifton Garrison, Baptist Missionary, R. N Opp, H. W. Griffin, .Morris Grocery, Gwen Stites, Henry A. Gerlack, David Kendall, Lucian H. Banning. Mrs. Joe Banning, C. H. Whitworth, Maxine Jarvis, Merle Davis, Mrs. Vesta Clark, Mrs. Fannie Eikenbarry. George A. Stites. Jim Fitzpatrick, Mrs. Charles McCarthy, H. P. Burbee, W. A. Tay lor, Sciota Sunday school, Mrs. George Hastings and Mrs. Wayne Ackley. President Franklin D. Roosevelt, writing from the White House on November 11 the day the drive for memberships opened says: "The American Red Cross is an in stitution in which our people in every walk of life and in every section of the nation can unite in a common tie of brotherhood. . . . During the la3t year 128 disasters occurred in 37 of our states. In each catastrophe the afflicted community turned with as surance to the Red Cross for the effi cient relief which was so speedily given. During the same time this Wind Checks Niagara's Torrent ST""-" 11 w----fv V -1- -v ft : 1 :: .. v ft 1 ,-?Tv" irl4Ai, Driving headwinds created a temporary freak of nature' when jale turned back Niagara's torrent great organization has developed a country-wide program for safeguard ing our homes and our highways from the mounting toll of accidental deaths. ... It is of the utmost im portance that we maintain the Red Cross as our great national relief agency. I earnestly urge all who can possibly do so, to respond generously and promptly to the Red Cross ap peal." Some day disaster may strike closer to our doors than in the Republican valley flood or the flood at Louisville in 1923, for the law of averages shows us no place on earth is immune from some great devastating calamity a fire, flood, pestalence, tornado or any one of a dozen other things that ruthlessly take lives without warning and disrupt whole communities. Louisville people are most loyal supporters of the Red Cros3 roll call and each year head the list of Cass county chapters in point of member ship. That is because they have been through a trying ordeal that called for Red Cross aid, and have had op portunity to observe how efficiently this great humanitarian organization administered relief to their fellow townsmen in distress after the Mill Creek flood that left a score homeless and took toll of half that many lives. It was a small calamity as calamities go, but not too small for the great uplifting hand of the Red Cross to stretch forth with aid and succor for those in need. That is why Louisville folks each year respond almost 100 per cent to the annual roll call, con tributing nearly as much money to this work a3 all theother branches in the county. We repeat, some day a disaster will strike closer to us than the Republi can Valley or Louisville floods and then wo too will want thi3 hand to be stretched forth to aid us. Let'3 all aid it now, so that when such time comes, it will be in position to func tion quickly and efficiently.
