Kelly Green Prominent on St. Pat’s Day;
‘Bunko’ New Game, but ‘Yap’ Better Title
By BARBARA BENNETT
Hi kids.
Friday everyone saw green,
but it wasn’t the envy kind of
green- It was that good old
Kelly green of St. Patrick’s day.
St. Mary’s had a holiday Friday.
And Friday night. Shirley Tiet
sort had a party based on the
St. Patrick’s
theme. A new
game was in
troduced and
it proved to
be lots of fun.
It’s real naune
is “bunko”
but the kids
thought “yap”
suited it bet
ter. The kids
_ , danced and
Barbara re f r e s h
Bennetl ments were
served.
Did you ever hear of a double
game of checkers? There were
4 kids working from each side
of the checkerboard. It was a
mess but a lot of fun.
St. Mary’s postponed its St.
Patrick’s day dance.
The Boy Scouts had a pie so
cial last week. There was a car
nival with many different
i things to do and a very good
film on Boy Scouts was shown
Last week Coach Howard
Dean and some of the boys of
O’Neill high went to Lincoln
for the tournament there This
is the tourney in which Neligh
participated. The Neligh War
riors won their first game from
Mitchell but lost to Minden in
j the second round. Week before
Neligh had defeated Ord in the
O’Neill district class “B” tourn
ament.
That seems to be all for this
week, but remember to send
those letters if you have any
ideas or news for this column

LEAGUE DOESNT
WANT CEILING HIKE
LINCOLN — Nebraska’s tax
commissioner believes the trend
of the past 10 years toward, im
provement in property assess
ment and equalization will con
tinue this year.
Philip K. Johnson said local
officials may have difficulty
discerning improvements made
1 during the decade, but “when
| viewed for the state as a whole,
; it is apparent assessors and
taxpayers realize the serious
ness of the problem and ate tak
ing steps which should even
tually provide a more stable
r and better equalized source of
revenue.”
The tax commissioner said
prices of farm commodities have
dropped somewhat but he be
! lieves this will be offset by an
. apparent increase in merchants’
; inventories and industrial
’ equipment in the hands of man
; ufacturers.

The League of Nebraska Mu
nicipalities has asked the legis
lative council to study munici
pal tax problems with a view
to relaxing the legal restric
tions on budgets of cities and
| towns with less than 5,000 pop
j ulation.
"So much remedial legisla
tion is needed, it would save
time and grief if the council
would study the problems
and make its recommenda
tions to the 1951 legislature,"
C- E. Beals, executive secre
tary of the league, said.
Municipalities do not seek an
increase in the present 18-mill
ceiling set on second class cit
ies and villages for general and
incidental purposes, Beals said.
Present law specifies the a
mount of tax permitted for vir
tually every purpose in munic
ipalities of less than 5,000 pop
ulation, he said. As an example
he cited the .4 mill permitted
for sewer maintenance. "Al
most every city is head over
heels in' the red on this," he
said.

C. V'. Price, the new head of
the division of Nebraska re
sources, returned to Nebraska
from a 24-day trip to Eastern
states.
"Nebraska will get its share
of any decentralizing eastern
industries." he said, "however,
we’ll have to work hard."
Price said the stale has a
"good chance" of getting
chemical, wool and precision
instrument industries, should
they be decentralised Ne
braska needs this type of in
; dustry, which would import
its raw materials and employ
available skilled labor, he
said.
He warned southern states
are providing tough competi
tion because of non - union,
cheap labor and low taxes, as
well as sufficient power and
water supplies.
Otherwise, this was the
week’s statehouse news.
Capt. C- J. Sanders, safety
patrol chief, said that if traffic
deaths maintain the present
pace, the 1950 total will more
than double 1949. This would !
mean more than 500 lives sac- '
rificed to carelessness," he said, j
He based the conclusion on the
fact that 36 fatalities were re
ported for the first 2 months of
1950, compared to 15 for the
same period last year.
Bill Cunningham, supervisor j
of state game wardens, said ar
rest of game violators during ■
January' and February' showed
a ‘’marked increase’' over the i
first 2 months of 1949. Illegal j
possession of game led the vio
lations
Gen. Guy N. Henninger, state
adjustant general, said he is
preparing a master civil de
fence plan for Nebraska. It in
cludes steps for restoring pub
lic health service, utilities, the
use of hospitals and similar
activities.

! Curriculum in grade and high

thing about road conditions m

But this week, the state high
way department beat such a
group to the punch. A delega

of U. S. highway 83 north from
