South Country Yards So Muddy
Can't Get About to Do Chores
By BLANCHE SPANN PEASE
Oh, my goodness! Here’s
March pretty near gone and
without asking our consent.
If you haven’t already been
housecleaning it’s time to think
of it. We hope that by the time
spring is really here, we will be
moved into the new house, but
everything goes so slowly.
I think I have told our
• Frontier readers that I will
have lots of closets in the new
house, haven't I? There is a
lovely wardrobe closet in our
bedroom, with sliding doors,
and in Bob's room there is a
double closet which requires
four sliding doors.
We had the floors raised and
had drawers built in at the bot
tom of the closets. These will be
wonderful for bedding, or any
thing else 1 want to keep in
them. They afford a great deal of
storage space. In the hall, next
to the bathroom, and adjoining
the bedrooms, is a linen closet. I
am going to have a laundry chute
built in the floor of the linen
closet that will lead to the base
ment where our laundry corner
is located. Wd bought a bath
room cabinet that w'as unfinish
ed and put it together ourselves
to use for extra sundries in the
bathroom, that the medicine cab
inet won’t hold.
There is also a closet in the
living room, and we had the
floor raised in this, too, and a big
drawer built in it for my vacuum
cleaner and attachments .and the
drawer is large enough for other
things, too. This makes me rich ,
in storage space, as with so ma- I
ny nice closets, and the extra
drawer space, I will have a spe- |
cific place for many items. Our
kitchen cabinets are now being
installed and finished and I’ll
tell you about those later.

Dear Mrs. Pease:
Just a “thank you’’ note to let
you know the hint in your col
umn for Valentine’s day worked.
The hint of drying the dishes
tonight surely did take my eye.
Of course, I had to read it aloud.
And golly, tonight, here comes
hubby with the dish towel!
The chief topic of conversation
in the neighborhood is the condi
ine yaras are reaiiy me
tion of the roads,
berries, a person can hardly
make it through the yard on
loot while doing chores. Guess
everyone is in the same boat
in the south country. A person
might as well smile about it as
to let it get you down.
How is the new house pro
gressing? Suppose you are real
ly getting anxious to move. Do
wish Bob were home so he could
share in the happy occasion with
you folks. (Bob may possibly be
home on a 30-day leave about
the time we move.—Mrs. Pease.)
We attended a party for an
other fellow who was called into
the army, it seems as though
these old troubles are never set
tled quietly. Most all the young
men are in the services, and the
young gals have gone to the city
to seek employment.
We are surely happy so much
of the winter is gone. Will soon
be time for housecleaning hints
and believe me 1 can realy use
a few.

Capitol News . . .
Mate Detense Plan
Daily widens Mope
LINCOLN—A little weary of
! politics, taxes anu the general
run of capitol news, this depart
j ment decided to take a look this
week a the newest agency of
state government, the office of
civil aerense.
Created just a year ago by the
legislature, me civil defense of
fice nestles nign in the sxyscrap
nig capitoi tower, unuer tne aoie
direction of tieroert E. Tnies,
longtime emtor oi me Scottsolutf
btar-rieraia, wno took over tne
state post several weeks ago when
Col. Ed Gule ite resigned to ac
cept a position with tne Michigan
CD uigamzatiun'
Tnies was asxed for a report on
| the pi ogress of nis agency now
! that a year has passed since Gov.
i Feterson tolu tne legislature:
"Umana, and possibly Lincoln,
might be bomoeu and preparation
must be maue accordingly. No
one knows wnen war may come
out on mat uay it will be too late
to concern ouiseives with civilian ;
uctense. Consequently, we simp- i
: ly must pian anu unit and re-driil i
in advance—ana that means lm
! mediately.”
'ine iouowing is Director Thies’
reply:
* * *
r^xpandinq—
irteoraska's civil defense pro
giuin is steadily being increased
in scope ana in fields of activity.
Ly mid-year it is anticipated
that every county in the state will
nave a formally organized and ac
tively trained foive of civil de
rense volunteers in all phases.
a\ pampulet outlining civil de
fense uainmg m puoue, parochial
and private schools was prepared
by former Deputy Director Myron 1
bnrauer, onetime city senooi su
perintendent at Nebraska City,
and was approved by State Su
i erintenoent of Lubiic Instruction
! F. B. Decker. It will be ready for
| distribution soon.
The CD school project steers
entirely clear of instilling “fear”
that there are impending atomic
attacks on the state, but points
instead in the direction of rea
sonable and sane preparedness
for action in any emergency,
whether in war or in natural dis
aster, by individuals, families and
communities.
* * *
The Women —
Gov. Val Peterson this week is
appointing a civil defense wom
en s activities committee, with
members in many parts of Ne
braska.
the committee will plan and
direct a women’s CD organization
for every county and virtualiy
every community in Nebraska.
It is contemplated to enlist the
aid of all women’s organizations
which have chapters and branches
throughout the state, and to use
non-aifiliated leadership as well.
The women’s organization will
carry on its work through, and in
close cooperation with, the CD
directors in each county, and with
the state CD office.
“In all public activities in Ne
braska women have played an in
creasingly important role,” the
'governor said. “Their help is es
pecially needed in making civil
defense effective, and to keep a
statewide volunteer organization
in readiness for any emergency. I
know they will serve well in civil
defense as they have in so many
other public projects.”
• * *
Flood and Fire —
Contrary to belief in some
quarters, civil defense organiza
tion and training is not being car
ried on with war solely in mind.
in fact, at least 90 per cent of
all setting up in the CD work will
I be effective and usable in case of
! man-made disasters and disasters
of nature, in addition to preparing
the state for possible enemy at
| tacks and war. Future floods,
tornadoes, major fires, great acci
, dents and transportation, etc.,
will find the Nebraska civil de
- fense organization springing into
’ action to supplement and aug
p iment, in effective ways, the reg
ular police, fire and welfare or
. ganizations.
. The Red Cross, which trains
the health and welfare division
5 volunteers for civil • defense, re
. ports these activities for the past
. year: 40,764 pints of blood col
. lected for local use and the armed
■ forces, from 52 counties; 5,819
persons trained for first aid; 359

Mobile Support —
Four mobile support units are
being formed in me. state, to be
in readinesa for moving into any
uisasier area, in or out of the
state, in tne event of enemy at
tacks, or in case of major natural
disasters.
Two nave been activated: No.
i, wnn rjodge, Platte and Madi
son counties forming the hub
area; and No. 4, built around Jef
feison, Gage anu Lancaster coun
ties.
Two other units, one including
ail tne imbraska panhandle coun
ties, will be activated as soon as
commanders are appointed.
Each unit will be complete with
personnel and equipment to cope
with fire, rescue, health, welfare,
evacuation, and other activities,
including restoration of basic util
ities and facilities in any streken
area.
o Nebraska 401 ground observ
er corps posts are being set up un
der the direction of civil defense
director and the U.S. air force.
Major Richard Ellsworth of the
USAF is attached to state CD
headquarters and in charge of or
ganization and training of volun
teers. Each GOC post will have
25 observers, and each individual
observers will receive a minimum
of three hours of USAF training.
Dn completion of a training course
each GOC volunteer will receive
i lapel wrng buttons, similar in de
sign to UriAF airmen’s wings.
How would the ground observ
j er corps function in the event of
an invasion by hostile aircratt?
Envisioning a hypothetical en
emy bomber invasion over the
top ot the world, across the Arc
tic regions, Maj. Ellsworth draws
a word picture of what would
uappen.
Tne action is entirely imagina
tive, and not based on any known
tacts, set down solely to demon
strate the functioning of ground
observers in the Nebraska civil
defense organization:
“A large flight of aircraft iden
tified as being from a potential
enemy on the other side of the
world, first spotted by royal Can
adian mounted police station over
western section of the Northwest
Teritories of Canada.
“Next spotted by Canadian
ground observers in west central
Saskatchewan. Identified as ap
proximately 20 four-engine bomb
ers heading south south-east. Can
adian interceptors were called up
but before contact was made sev
eral individual planes broke off
from the main formation. Can
adian interceptors attacked main
formation.
A small flight crossed U.S.
border into northwestern North
Dakota and were spotted by mem
bers of ground observers corps in
that ^tate. Interceptors went up
fom bases in Montana and South
Dakota. Formation again broke
up prior to contact with intercep
tors. One boirr.ber flying a course
which would take him over City
X in Nebraska, picked up by
GOC in south central South Da
kota. Reports from South Dakota
observers established a southeast
erly track just as the bomber
crossed the state line into Nebras
ka where he was picked up by ob
ervers at Springview and soon
f ter wards by observers at Bas
sett.
“There being no reports from
' Newport, Stuart or Atkinson it
! was obvious that the pilot had
taken a southeasterly course. This
was confirmed soon when a re
Doit was received from Erickson
and shortly thereafter, Spalding,
ma.rose and Cedar Rapids in
quick succession. By this time the
UCt station had picked up the
raider and interceptor jets had
been sent aloft from a nearby
base and within a matter of
minutes the bomber was inter
cepted and downed southeast of
Fullerton near Silver Creek. The
pilot made a pancake landing in a
armers field in that area and the
army and air force established a
cordon around the plane pending
removal of all bombs and a com
plete investigatin.”

A MMMI LAW
IA AI'TIOX!
This clipping, from a Ne
braska newspaper, tells of
$100 fines being assessed
against minors for misrep
resenting their ages to buy
beer. The minors involved
have broken a good law . . .
a law designed to prevent
their buying or drinking al
coholic beverages.
The tavernman in your
town, together with the
brewing industry, sincerely
endorses this law. Large
signs, posted in prominent
places, warn minors of the
penalties for falsifying their
ages in order to buy beer.
Sworn Statement of Age
blanks are furnished to your
tavernman by the brewing
industry. Persons of doubt
ful age are asked to sign
these statements which help
to prevent minors from
breaking the law.
All this is further evidence
of the brewing industry’s
sincere efforts to operate in
the public interest.
