It is the State Board of Ed ucation, whose members were first elected in 1964. There are six of them, who run on non-political tic kets. The question at hand again is whether the State Board of Ed ucation should be abolished and the Commissioner of Education ap pointed. Now, the board names the com missioner and sets his salary. Dr. F.B. Decker holds the post, which pays $11,500 per year. Prime mover in a petition drive to put the issue on the November •ballot is the Nebraska School Im povement Association, which says it represents 600 rural and small high school districts Openly opposing the petition drive is the Nebraska State Education Association, Nebraska Congress of Parents and Teachers, and the Ne braska State School Boards As sociation. They say they represent 80 per cent of the school children in Nebraska. Two years ago the School Im provement Association tried unsuc Ponton Insurance Insurance of All Kinds and Bonds FLORENCE PONTON, Prop Phone lOfl Golden Bids ; cessfully to put the issue on the I ballot. It needs 42,107 valid names to get the matter before the voters this fall. The group has had many differ ences with Decker, the State De partment of Education which Dec ker supervises and individual mem bers of the Board of Education. S.H. Brauer Jr., of Stuart, field representative for the School Im provement group, says his organ ization’s principle position is that "one person should have executive power in the state for formation of policy. It's alien to our system of administrative government to have an executive board." The three major organizations, on the other hand, claim "repeat edly trying to revive a question so decisively settled in 1954 is a mistake, as well as a burdensome expense to the state." They say the board system is "democratic and brings control of the State Department of Education j closer to the people". Statistics Agricultural statistics were ga thered in Nebraska by the federal government as early as 1866. In 1898 Nebraska provided for col lecting of these facts through as sessors and in 1914 the state and federal governments signed an agreement—still in force—to joint ly pursue the work. Nearly a report a day comes out ot the Stale-Federal Division of Agricultural ^Statistics today. Probably the best known and the most frequent, is the weekly an alysis of crop conditions The big gest is the farm census. The division gets its information through personal visits and from correspondents, either by telephone or mail. Mailings from the division year ly run close to the one million mark. The office reports it has nearly 70,000 correspondents on its mail-1 mg list. Closely watched by farmers and city folks alike, is the crop report— a weekly barometer of the protv able condition of Nebraska's num ber one industry. I Delegates There are a lot more persons seeking a seat at the national party conventions this year. One of the reasons for the boost in interest in Nebraska is revival of the two-party system thus creat ing more interest in the Democratic partv. Another is the ease with which a delegate could file this year. In the past, it w-as necessary to circulate petitions and then file the petitions with the Secretary of State This year, all that was required was a $25 filing fee. There are 131 Democrats filed either for delegate or alternate and 92 Republicans. The Republican to U1 is roughly the same hut the Democratic figure is up. An added reason for the boost m the l>mocraUe side is that the party is having half votes at the convention, thus doubluvg the num ber who can be elected. Running for party convention traditionally has been a place that would be office seekers could "test their wings,” and get their names familiar to Nebraskans It also is sought after by party workers who have a chance to be in an important position once ev ery four years—casting a ballot for a possible president. In all there are 383 persons seek ing seats in both parties. This list, plus interest in other state races is expected to slow counting of the primary by elec tion workers. The primary balloting is May 10 Flooding Anxious officials are eyeing snow-choked streams and gullies, especially in the eastern thin! of Nebraska, for possible spring flood ing. The state is taking steps to or ganise volunteer and other state and federal agencies to combat the problem when it arises. As of now. officials anticipate some heavy flooding, especially with a fast thaw. It is expected the Army En gineers, Civil Defense ami volun teer agencies like the Red Cross will carry a heavy share of the load in handling any high water problems. t- - -1 ATTENTION FARMERS We would like to supply your fertilizer nitro gen needs this spring.
