Carelessness, however, when handling tools or equipment near power lines can result in tragedy. The most common problems result from the movement of irrigation pipes, hay derricks, TV antennas, well drill ing rigs and cranes. Electricity, enough to kill, will flow through any metal or other conducting material that touches high-voltage lines. Sometimes it will even flow through wood. So look up ... and stay alive. KITE STRINGS can be conductors of elec tricity, too. Make certain Junior chooses the wide open spaces, away from power lines, when he flies his kite. It’s really more fun out in the open, anyway. ^CONSUMERS E, Schockemaier and family of Bone steel, Mr and Mrs Eton Bauchamp and daughter of Herrick, and Mr and Mrs. Ernest Juracek.

This will leave the Board of Con trol, consisting of three members appointed by the governor for six year terms, with 17 institutions. Un der board supervision are some 3.500 employes and more than 8.500 inmates or patients in the institutions. This big area of government by its size alone is spawning ground for trouble. The board has had plenty in the past 10 years especial ly. There are those who feel the trouble is not warranted and is the result of the board system for managing state institutions. Ot t hers insist a system is no better than those who comprise it. There have been battles in past sessions of the Legislature to abol ish the board. Arguments have been it is difficult to fix responsibility and the board deals in too many details instead of sticking with pol icy decisions Proponents of the board system contend that to abolish it, and sub stitute appointed people to head up the various areas of govern ment services now under the board, is too expensive for Nebraska They add there would be trouble in coordinating the many activities in the various areas. Speculation over the future of the board came up when two mem bers fired an institution superin tendent and interviewed a replace meat without consulting with the chairman. The action was tak en by Harold fVterson, vice-chair man and Mrs. Ethel Kirwm, board member They said they did so because they felt that Chairman Charles Lee man would ‘‘leak" the news to statehouse reporters be fore the official decision. Leeman denied he had done this in the pa<* After the public rift, the board members made a show of trying to heal the administrative gap among them Observers said ad ministrative harmony could well come about but abolishing trouble in such a large aroa of govern I men* would not. Taxes There is a bigger taxable value of tangible and intangible proper ty in Nebraska than a year ago. Tangible property includes lands, buildings and personal belongings, j Intangible includes cash, accounts receivable and stocks and bonds. State Tax Commissioner Forrest Johnson feels that the bigger tot als are the result of some con scientious work by county assesors and stranger tax laws by the Legis lature. Some of the lighter in his an nual summation on value melud ed stands of bees in Nebraska art worth $144,303 for tax purposes dogs are valued at $603 , 598 and airplanes at $721,624, Driver F ducal ion Driver education is becoming more popular in Nebraska Dr F B Decker, state education com nussioner. says there were 1.50C more Nebraska high school student] last year taking driving courses than for the previous year The total for the just completed school year was 7.506 students whc got both cUssrcxim instruction and behind-the wheel experience. Deck er said. There are also more schools of fering the courses than before, he added The total was 147 compared with 138. There were 420 public high schools operating in the state the last school year Decker said he expects 18 more schools to of fer driving training in the next school term. Life and Sp.-ed Nebraska motorists have been asked to take a personal part in a nationwide ''slow down and live" program Col. C. J. Sanders, chief of the state safety patrol, made the .appeal, pointing to Nebraska’s I traffic death toll which shows fa | talities down for the fifth straight | month. May deaths on Nebraska high ways totaled 30. Sanders reported, as against 36 for the same month last year IXiring May. the patrol chief said, safety patrolmen contacted 25,051 drivers and made 4.581 ar rests plus issuing 5,477 warning cards not involving arrest | Reformatory Work A plan is being formulated to find more for inmates of the Men s Reformatory in Lincoln That’s the report from the Board of Control which governs the institution. Board members said the exact type of work has not been determined. Now, farming, manufacture of li cense plates, dairying and sign painting occupy time of some in mates But the board said these jobs do not nearly cover all the inmates. A soap and soap products plant will be established at the State Penitentiary to help keep inmates busy there as well as save about 20 percent on the cost of the pro ducts for state Institutions Don’t Forget O’Neill’s Big Rodeo June 17, 18 and ID Choice Building Lots TOR SALE In A Very Exclusive Neighborhood Neil B.
