Membership— Accepted for Guild PAGE Sybil Ickes Malmberg of Brownlee has been accepted for meml>ership in the Nebraska Writer’s Guild. Court Fight Looms in Train Matter (Continued from page 1.) former banker and S-T-A direct or: "It is curious how the commis sion could do such a thing when the Valentine hearing disclosed that twenty-one thousand pas sengers had used trains 13 and 14 during 1956, according to C&NW's own figures Admitted as evidence at the same time were C&NW’s formula figures filed with interstate commerce commission, showing nearly thir t y - three thousand passengers used these Omaha-Chndron-Oma ha trains during calendar 1956. Somebody at C&NW is 50 per-! cent off." J. J. Moreland of Merriman, who has shipped thousands of carloads of cattle via C&NW. long has predicted dire freight reprisals of the passenger trains come off. Moreland also is a S-T-A director. More Than ‘Name’ Trains J G. Brewster, Stuart banker and S-T-A director, flatly stated the recent decisions of the Ne baska supreme court in passen ger train matters "don't begin to parallel our situation”. Brewster said O m a h a-Chadron-Omaha trains carry more passengers than Omaha - Minneapolis trains and more than many socailed ’name’ trains." Mrs. Reva Evans, editor of The Gordon Journal, said: "It was a low blow- on Mr. Brown’s part. We felt confident of his support in view' of his decision involving an Alliance train, not the last two passenger trains on the line as in our case. Ilis antics are re ceived in disqust. Gordon towns people, farmers and ranchers will back this fight all the way". Gene Kemper, editor of the Al liance Times-Herald, wrote edi torially: “Never in 33 years of publishing experience have I seen such a weak case (C&NW’s presentation at Valentine) tri umph before a three-man tribu nal elected to protect the inter est of the people." v iren s morion stares: i ne commission’s order is arbitrary, unreasonable, contrary to law, contrary to facts and is without sufficient supporting evidence. Conditions of both C&NW and S-T-A have changed since the Valentine hearing six months ago. A rehearing will develop that C&NW, although required by law to operate its business ef ficiently and economically, has continued to operate its business (trains 13-14) without regard to that law and to the detriment of and in complete disregard for the public. C&NW's books and records prior to and at the time of the Valentine hearing were kept in a manner contrary to law and a true financial condition o f these Omaha-Chadon-Omaha trains can be had only if such records are brought uptodate”. District Judge Lyle Jackson of Neligh, STA director, said: “I'm bitterly disappointed in the com mission’s action.” Publicity ‘Blitz’ Claude Currie, former mayor of Valentine, S-T-A director and member of the association's fi nance committee, credited C& NW's “publicity blitz” with the behavior of Brown and Wayne Swanson, railway commissioners who wrote majority opinions. "It is strangely coincidental the commission would make such an order within hours after C&NW had planted tear-jerking tax stories in metroplitan news papers and when the current issue of The Readers’ Digest was read to hit the newstands. The Digest piece is good North West ern propaganda and is intended to bolster its stock, which is do ing badly. I understand the publicity experts who handled Wolfson's raid on Montgomery Ward are working for C&NW. We're going to be like Mont gomery Ward—no pushover. If C&NW folds up and passes into the hands of a good railroad, I’m sure there'll be no question about taking care of the 20- or 30-thou sand people who are riding these two trains.” S-T-A directors in a statement said Commissioner Richard Lar son, who wrote a dissenting opin ion regarding C&NW’s request, “was the only commissioner who grasped the entire picture.” There is no bus service be tween Valentine and Gordon, a distance of 92 miles. Until five years ago there were three bus ses daily each way between O' Neill and Norfolk (74 miles). Now there is daily bus service with one bus each way daily ex : cept Sunday between those two cities. Airline Point Weak S-T-A directors and the ma jority opinion included airline planning for service to North Nebraska. This would include perhaps three “highly subsidized stops” compared to 44 cities and towns served by trains 13 and 14. Something more than a small airline is needed to serve up to 33-thousand passengers per year, the S-T-A resolution declared, not to mention the large volume of mail, express, baggage and newspapers. The S-T-A is expected to file for a "stay of order” on the dis ! continuance and go to the state supreme court if a new hear ing is not scheduled or if fur ther consideration before the com mission unsuccessful.

Meters In Farm Home Tell Fuel Costs Farmer Raymond Keppy (above) of Scott County, Iowa, read* . LP-Gaa meters in test to determine operating costa for appliances. Daughter Myrna Keppy (right) prepares load for dryer. LP-Gaa is also used for stock tank heating on the Keppy farm (left). Iowa fanner Raymond Keppy selected liquefied petroleum gas for his new home because of the fuel’s efficient, clean-burning qualities. But he also wanted to determine if the “beyond-the mains” gas was as economical as it is efficient. So, through the co operation of the National LP-Gas Council, he installed individual meters for the year-round air con ditioner which heats in winter and cools in summer, the built-in range, refrigerator, clothes dryer, automatic water heater, and in cinerator. The same fuel is also usod on the 300 acre farm for pig farrowing, chick brooding, and stock tank heating. Keppy found it took only 1,876 Eillons of LP-Gas to heat their rge home (2,350 square feet) in winter and 1,040 to cool it in summer. Other monthly con sumption averages were: water heating. 57.6 gallons; cooking, 15.4 gallons; clothes drying, 7.7 gallons; incineration, 15.6 gal lons, and refrigeration, 22.8 gal lons. Outside, for the two month period of Februry-March, it took 250 gallons to heat the 24' x 80' farrowing house, 192.6 gallons to keep water warm for 300 head of cattle, and 100 gallons to brood one houseful of chicks. After checking gallonage cost, Keppy said he was convinced that I.P Gas is economical. Other farm families can multiply the Keppy gallonage figures by the price of LP-Gas in their areas to de termine costs for similar con sumption on their farms.

Take it from America's top teenage safety experts—accidents are just as vital a problem to the nation as satellites. That’s what the eight national winners of $400 General Motors Scholarships for outstanding 4-H safety activities told newsmen rec< ntly in Chicago. ‘‘.Just because we are entering the space age, WC Can’t take our eyes off the tremendous losses from highway and farm accidents suffered each vear right here on earth,” they declared. The national winners and 34 other state winners received all expense trips to the 4-H Club Congress in Chicago from General Motors. Plan Special Safety “Moon” They pledged to lead the nation’s 4-H members in an all out drive against accidents. “Young people have the greatest stake in promoting safety because our futures are so deeply affected,” they Baid. ‘‘We’ll create our own special ‘safety satellite’ by stimulating nationwide attention in the needless deaths and injuries which carelessness is causing on highways and farms. Teenagers every where can make safety as important as satellites by inspiring every one to eliminate accidents.” IS ears Million Member Mark Typical of the group was Leonard Wertz of McClave, Colo., who began a local Teenage Safety Council. “If you get teenagers think ing and acting safety it will rub oil on parents,” he said. Participation in safety activities by 4-H members has sky rocketed from 72,000 to 825,000 in the 13 years since General Motors became awards donor for the program. This participation is expected to reach the million member mark in 1958. Other national winners were: Marilyn Ellison, El Reno, Okla.; Sylvia McCarty, Myers, Ky.; Sharon Mitchell, Dixmont. Me.; Caro lyn Kay Moore, Fairview, Kans.; Christine Pasley, Hillsboro, Ore.; Ronald Powell, Clark, Mo.; and Don Willis, Mendenhall. Miss. Their tip to everyone: SAFETY KNOWS NO QUITTING TIME!
