Verdigre Hawks Nail Cardinals Use Effective Stall in Final Minutes The Verdigre Hawks handed tiie St Mary’s academy Cardin als their third defeat of the sea son Friday, 57-44, at Verdigre. The Hawks, away to an early j lead, built up an eight-point mar j gin during the first quarter and I led by 11 points at halftime. Scoring on the second half tip, the Hawks enjoyed a 13-point bulge before the Cards went to work and fired in 10 straight to narrow the margin to three points. For some extraordinary rea son, the Cards turned ice cold and missed their next 15 tries at the basket. Verdigre was ahead 41-33 en ' tiring the final period. The Cards’ final effort pulled them to within three points again, trailing 41-44 with four minutes remaining. Verdigre then made six straight freethrows and the Cards were out of the game because the Hawks resorted to an effect ive stall. Bad passing and poor ball handling hindered the Cards as they were unable to settle down and play ball. The parochial crew also was hampered by the small playing area. They were guilty of numerous fouls and al lowed the Hawks to gain their ; margin of victory via the gratis mu i i iv uanivj maut >Kip .VlcKenny and Bob loung added two fielders apiece and me Eagles appeared to be roll ing.

Neligh’s Jim Hansen, center, pumped in four fielders in the opening period but it was Kenny Rethmeier, a guard, who rolled up the biggest total—14 points. Neligh was in front, 22-7, at the end of the first stanzt and moved to a 32-12 lead at half time. O’Neill’s pint-sized guards, Larry Oetter and Larry Peterson, were unable to cope with the Warriors. But Oetter and Peterson have several years of play ahead of them and the tables might be reversed. The Eagles are still in quest of victory number 1. They entertain the Bloomfield Bees here Friday night. In a prelim, the Neligh Papoos es needed an overtime period to beat the O’Neill seconds, 28-26.

This would make it dif ficult for schools to obtain teach ers and would tend to close the schools.” “That teacher certification re quirements be kept statutory in stead of being administered by the state board of education. (This might tend to eliminate the rural schools.) “We feel that rentals and bo nuses received from school lands should be returned to the schools within the counties from which they were collected." \\r 110 ii vv aiuu jays l it" Was Misquoted AMELIA—Lloyd Waldo of Chambers, president of the Ne braska Small Schools association, said he was misquoted Thurs day at North Platte. Press dispatches said Waldo told Lincoln county school pat rons to defy the attorney-gener al’s ruling that districts could not finance membership in an asso ciation out of tax funds. Waldo, in a series of speaking engagements, has contended that membership in the Small Schools association is no different than membership in the State School Board association, which for years has been paid with district warrants. He spoke at North Platte Thursday, Bridgeport on Friday and Arthur on Saturday. Meanwhile, Clyde Widman of Amelia, speaking before the Holt Rural School Board associ ation, said the attorney-general’s interpretation is one man’s opinion and has the effect of law mtil proven wrong by process o' law. He said the ruling against membership in the Small School association has this effect: “Looks like you can use the taxpayers’ money to eliminate the small schools but you can’t use taxpayers’ money to save the small schools.” Both Waldo and Widman have said state senators have agreed to file bills in the current legisla tive session to remove any doubt. “We’ve decided against going to court because time is of the essence,” they declared.

Protection Plans Offered in Holt The American Republic Insur ance company plans of protection ar»4o be made available to Holt county residents. This news was brought by Alfred H. Miller, Ne braska manager of the company. According to an announcement appearing on page 8, these pro tections plans will be available to all county residents who qualify. Mr. Miller has stated that a drive will be conducted in the county to contact all city and rural resi dents so that a full explanation of the plans may be provided. The American Republic protec tion plans provide help against the expenses of hospital, doctor and surgeons’ bills as well as fi nancial help when sickness or ac cident strikes. Thev are written by the company which has a re- i cord of 28 years’ service to Amer ican individuals and families. As hospital and medical costs have risen, the need for insurance protection against these expenses has become more apparent. Over 100,000,000 persons in the United States now have hospitalization protection and slightly more than half that amount have medical care protection. Mr. Miller has advised that many thousands of Nebraska resi dents are now protected by American Republic Insurance company plans. “Because these plans can be fitted to nearly every individual’s and family’s needs, it is important tnat every county resident have the opportunity to have a full explanation of the plans,” Mr. Miller said. On the basis of other commun ities’ participation in the Ameri can Republic drives, it is expec ted that the local participation will be quite heavy, according to company officials.
