The Lady Is a Mailman Lady Mailman's Red Pickup is Familiar Sight Do you yearn to travel? Then you should trade places with Mrs. Floyd Adams of Amelia. She is a much traveled woman. Since 1934 she hus chalked up 288,288 miles doing her routine job. Sounds like fun doesn't it? Mrs. Adams Insists that it is even if she has to do It the hard way. Kvery weekday, eome fair or fou!, she dons her blue jeans revvs up the motor on her red pickup truck and takes off on a 42 mile jaunt through the sand hills. To ranch families she is St. Valentine, ('upld, Santa Claus and tile paper hoy rolled into one neat package. She Is the rural maJI carrier. "It was in 1934, said Mrs. Adams, when I first started carrying mail from Amelia to Baliagh . . ." What she thought was a tem porary job to help out a busy hus band who had several other irons in the fire, turned out to be a four year sentence. The going was far from the picnic it started out to be The roads were nearly non-exis tent. She was stuck constantly. In winter it was the snow, in spring the mud, in summer the sand and when autumn came it was back to mud again. Wind storms, thunder storms and blizzards caught her far from home and unprepared. The car broke down at odd and un expected times. Long before the contract was consummated she was good and tired of the whole thing. •'It was the happiest day of my life (I thought), she says, when I] finished the job and started in just being a housewife and taking care j of my husband and young son j Don.” Life was easy and relaxing for1 the next few years when all at once the lady was taken with a malady. Pills and perscriptions, didn't do a bit of good. She finally 1 reckonized the ailment for what is | was. She was homesick! That hungary feeling wasn’t an ulcer, it was a yearning to get back in touch with former patrons who were j (and still are) "The best folks in the world." In 1942 she started in where she had left off. This time the contract was in her own name. It still is, 18 years later. "Time has made great changes in people and places, she says, the road is somewhat better but the weather is as unpredictable as ever.” Time has made a change in the carrier too. She has grown into an excellent mechanic, weather prophet, trail blazer and authority on doing it yourself when the need arises. The Adamses have a pleasant home in the little town of Amelia. Two years ago Mrs. Adams took a months vacation from her work. . . .You guessed it. She took a trip. Royal News By Mrs. R.

A Poem From Mrs. Eby ... —letter to Nancy— This was mailed from overseas lo his two-year-old daughter by her father, Cpl. John N. Irwin. Hello, Nancy Kay Irwin, my own little girl! Daddy misses you terribly, all he’s got is your curl And he can’t squeeze a curl like a gir! should be squoze, And none of your pictures show the shape of your nose. How is my baby? Mommy say’s you’re okay, Getting bigger and smarter, more pretty each day. I know you’re as good as a girlie could be. And I love you most awfully and I hope you love me, Dad’s a long way from home, in a place that’s so queer, Where little brown men steer ele phants by ear; In town, you’d see cows just roam ing the street. Dozens of beggars and children you’d meet. Their candy is fanny—so bright and so fancy But not good to eat, at least, not for Nancy, And clothes are mostly just cloth wrapped around, I think that is why these folks are all brown Vou might see a camel pulling a cart, All the autos are old, just falling a,part Sometimes monkeys run around just as bold as you please. \nd the prettiest birds peek down from the trees. Jut in the country the houses are i mud, tVith grass for roofs, not so good in a flood, \nd In the mud houses the farm- j ers family, of course, ind his cows and his chickens and j maybe a horse, Vnd it’s not very clean here, just nothing like home. \nd thats a good ending for this silly old poem. [ love you, my sweetheart and soon I’ll be back Po see if my baby still loves her dad, Jack.

Capitol News - Office Space Big Problem In Statehouse By Melvin Paul Statehouse Correspondent The Nebraska Press Association LINCOLN—The problem of space in the state capitol has reached what many feel is a critical stage, years ago officers blossomed in areas of Nebraska’s sky scraper lhat were designed only for storage or even just ordinary hallways. In the last decade offices have had to move into the downtown areas of Lincoln and elsewhere throughout the city. Thos, say those close to the scene, the state is faced with the problem of whether offices should continue to be spread throughout the Capitol City. If not, the only solution is a new office building. Money has been laid aside for this special property tax levy for state institutions. But at the rate it is accumulating, it would take some years before there would be enough in the coffer to finance a 1 new office building. Best estimates are that tt would take considerably more than $1 million to build a new office struc ture. It would be possible to utilize more hall space around interior court yards of the Capitol but in the past when this has been pro posed it has bn night a storm of protest from those who do not want further encroachment on the beau- j ty of the building. Even the statehouse press corps has felt the pinch of space. News men now are headquartered in a hallway immediately mirth of the legislative chambers. During a session, the southern hallway is closet! and converted into office space for stenographers who take care of correspondence for the senators. The space problem is caused by the growth of state government which experts say is the result of demands by the people for more services. It is the growth of gov ernment. say political scientists, as matched against the ability of Nebraskans to pay. that will pro bably lie the most important prob iem in state government in the next decade. legislature and People The number of people in Nebras ka is directly related to how many state senators there tire to repre sent them. When the one-house Legislature was initiated in Nebraska in 1037 the state was divided into 43 dis tricts, by population, so that one | lawmaker represented about 31580 persons. But the changing map of Ne braska, |x>pulation-wise, has put more people in cities, especially Lincoln and Omaha, and fewer in rural areas’ causing a sharp change in some districts. This has been a gradual move ment since the first Unicameral session. There have been tries in the Legislature to bring about a realignment of legislative districts. But there has likewise been no suc cess. Under a Constitutional provision, only $37, 500 per year can be di vided among the senators for pay The Constitution also permits the Legislature to have as many as 50 members without changing the Constitution. But they have not seen fit to do so and government students feel one of the reasons is that since the already low pay of $872 per year would be further reduced per man with more senators this is one of the main reasons for the dis approval of redistricting. Another, they say, is the reluct ance on the part of senators to have their district boundaries changed for any reason. Another Constitutional amend ment will be on the November bal lot to increase the pay of the law makers. This proposal has been turned down by voters before. During a two-year period, a state senator’s pay averages out at some $72 per month. The amendment calls for $200 monthly. Safety Patrol. Throughout the years the State Safety patrol has been held in high respect by the average Nebraskan One of the reasons may be the rig id examinations given U> those who want to become a member of the group. An applicant must be a citizen of Nebraska, have at least a high sc Iks >1 education, tie at least five feet 10 inches tall, be from 21-35 years of age, have good moral character and be in g.xxl physical condition. Applicants must pass a [lersonnl investigation, written examinations ami a board of five members. If an applicant clears those hurdles he is given six weeks of intensive training Pay is not high and re quirements tough. But always the patrol has more men applying for jobs than it can use. The patrol consists of more than 100 uniformed men under direc tion of Col. C. J Sanders, him self once a trooper since the early days of the group in the 1930’s, Slate Inst if u lions Dr. F. B. Decker, state commis sioner of education, says he does n’t expect any difficulties when his department takes over the man agement of two institutions July 1. On that date the State School for the Blind at Nebraska City and the State School for the Deaf at Om aha, will come under jurisdiction of the State Board of Education. For years they have been under supervision of the Board of Con trol. A survey of buildings and equip ment at both schools is underway this month. Decker said the only difficulty he anticipates is a tight fiscal operation at the blind school where he feels there might be about $20,000 too little to finish its ojier ation for the next year.

Those of you who have Blue Grass on higher ground can very successfully windrow, and com bine it out of the windrow the same as small grain, with good results. I would appreciate It If those of you who have windrowers and combines, and would be interested In doing some of this work, get in touch with me, as I will probably be asked where such equipment can be hired ,or perhaps the work done on a share deal. Also, haying the field of Blue Grass and threshing the stacks in the fall has proved very success ful for a number of farmers and ranchers. And to those of you who will strip and cure your Blue Grass, don’t leave the green seed in the sacks or truck more than a half day, as the heating will hurt the germination of the seed. Be careful with those side delivery rakes and power brooms, as you can quickly make a mess of your stripping with sand and dirt. If you desire further information on handling your Blue Grass, I would be pleased If you would get In touch with me. Very sincerely, EARL COXBILL COXBILL SEED CO., ATKINSON, NEBR.
