The bill, which was debated on the floor of the senate on three occasions, has been a mended to include lower pe nalties, certification of the testors by the department of health, and a clause to disal low a presumption of guilt to be made against anyone who refused to take the tests. The bill, introduced by Sens. R. W Hill, of Hebron, and Dwight Burney, of Hartington, was sponsored by the Nebras ka state safety council. It sets up the test results which will be considered not under the influence, on the borderline, and under the influence. The certification of testors amendment was ’ introduced by Sen. Louis Holmes, of Grand Island, and the protective amendment by Sen. John Adams, of Om aha. The lower penalties, intro duced by Sen. Willard Wilson, of Holdrege, reduce the mone tary fine, the minimum license ssupension and the minimum jail sentence for the first of fense. Under the second of | fense the monetary fine is les sened, however, other provis ions remain as before. The third offense remains as it ap pears now on the statutes. Proponents of the lower pe nalties expressed belief that the important thing was that a conviction is obtained rather than the amount of money fined. The board of directors of the state safety council op posed the lowering of the pe nalties. however, the amend ment was passed on the floor of the senate during the bill’s debate. Under provisions of the pro posed law. tests of a suspect’s bodily fluids or breath may be examined by a certified exam iner for presence and amount of alcohol. The results of these tests will be admissable evi dence in the courts of Nebras ka. If the suspect is found to have .15 percent by weight of alcohol in his blood, he will be presumed under the influence of alcohol. If he has less than this to .05 percent, he will be placed on the borderline and other evidence may prove his innocence or guilt. Any test of .05 percent or under will be presumed not under the influ ence. This law does not make it mandatory for a person to take a test, instead he is protected by Adam's amend ment. Plans call for the equipment of the state safety patrol with portable tests which can be carried in their cars. This will enable on-the-spot checks to be made when the driver is stopped or involved in an ac cident. ternoon, March 6, visitors in the Carl Wagner home.

Bonnie McDonald New Air Personality ______ Bonnie McDonald, a new ra dio personality, is being heard 1 every afternoon — Monday through Friday— at 1:15 over radio station WJAG at Nor folk. Bonnie’s program sponsored by the J. M. McDonald com pany, formerly Brown-M.cDon ald’s, will appeal to the ladies as Bonnie tells about hobbies, women in the news, decorating the home, and tips on making housekeeping and homemaking a little easier, as well as on making that budget stretch. Bonnie started learning the business of homemaking early, since she came fTom a large family, and her mother felt, rightly, that the children were “never too young to learn.” Of course, budget stretching is al ways a problem in a large family, so she also developed an intense interest in design ing clothes, home decorating, and planning inexpensive en tertainment for groups. Bonnie frankly admits that she likes to talk, and this, combined with a lively curios ity has led her into a num ber of interesting hobbies. Of course, her main interest is her husband and her little daugh ter, Gwen, both of whom are heart and soul with her in her little trips' into these fascinat ing sidelights of this business of living. Manager Joe Stutz says that the McDonald store here is helping to sponsor Bonnie Mc Donald’s broadcasts. 1 teen tattler DEMODEL CHURCH FAIRFAX—During the past few weeks a number of men, including parishoners, have been busy remodeling the Bap tist church in Fairfax. 1 ■ - -,. — I IS YOUR FUEL J I Dependable!
