Smoke from "Brandin' Iron" Crick By J. C. kudd Now that it’s dog days along the Crick the chigger invasion is over and a new kind of pest has cropped up. Candidates' Seems like every day a differ ent Hopeful Joe is busy getting next to the grass roots or beat ing the bushes for votes Guess they think the country folks is only ones left that arc damb enough to need convincing on how to vote and who for. l-a*t Tuesday afternoon l^nn and Yours Truly hail just been discussing politics and what it does to folks when we looked out the window and saw him coming. (Couldn't tell for sure which party he rrprenented but knew he was rulining for some thing) He had ail the ear marks of a glad hander, sort of bald Ish, no hat on, smoking a pipe and grinning like a rhessie cat. Lena met him at the door, (to keep old Pretzel from acting up) (That dog can smff out a Demo crat in a box full of mavericks. A <>fd />urltr enmof unoe \ fixin' to keep him on the door step but he bulled his way right in, independent as a hog on ice. He whipped the pipe out of his mouth with one hand and began giving Lena the old political grip with the other. AH the time pour ing on the oil about, ‘‘Your love ly country home. . and so forth”. All at once he happened to glance down. There was old Pretz with an *T love Republicans” look on his face licking the stem of his pipe! Before you oouid say party principles, the guy forgot his man ners. Stuck the pipe in his mouth, dropped Lena's hand like a hot potato and fetched Old Pretz a mighty belt between the ears. Never saw dog act so betrayed or a man so be-addled. By the time we’d quit laughin’ and start ed to get mad he was already half way to Willie Kells. Never did find what he was Canning for. (Office, I mean.) Widow Barker was in this after noon for another bottle of hair bleach By Grnvy. she’s a chang ed woman! Full of frisk and vital ity, can out talk a buzz saw. Looks mighty trim for the most [tact but stiU a little thick in the ankles. Old Man Chinn jeeped up while she was there and durned if the old buzzard didn’t pucker up and give off with a wolf whistle. Lena come out of the back room and things got back to nor mal in a hurry. See you next week. Capitol News - Schools Must Obey Rules Says Ekstrand LINCOLN—Schools have come under close scrutiny of the state fire marshal’s office. There will be a crackdown this fall on scho ols failing to meet state regula tions. G. E. Ekstrand, deputy fire marshal, said he will “make ex amples” of some schools if neces IFREE FILM FOREVER FREE ROLLI h nturn for iwy roll Jumbo Finbfe BLACK and WHITE m I-.-1 ---1 » - ■-« r i ruouv mo u 1/11011909 Sin 120420 127 *2* 1 I «p 90c iad reM e» Mm fiM 12 tip 91.10 Md roll of film fro# 10 up 9125 and rail al Mm Iraa » up 35 mm «1 7J Md mU of IMm *00 96 asp 35 mm 93 00 Md rail of Him (no K0DAC0L0R Friivtwd ind Diwleptd Sin C129C02W127-C429 I asp 93.35 and rail al Mm feat 12 a>p 9« 35 and roU el film freo 10 asp. 95 35 and rail ol film free 20 mp 35 mm *5 35 Md roll ol Mm tot CUIDIT (mu FOU AU tmPPINTAUU NCCATIVCS SIMM die piMs M aatra cad Sand film wttll (tract or manor ardm or lend postcard lot special mtihni envelop* sary to stress the imp dance of conducting lire drills as requir ed by state law <rts on these must be sub mitted to the tire marshal's of fice. But. says Eikstrand, some school officials don't take the drills too seriously and submit rapids with out actually holding the exercises. “We're going to damp down on these schools," Ekstrand said, “oecause they're dealing with hu man lives." Penalty for school officials vi olating the fire drill statute is a fine of $5 to $100 with each miss ed drill a separate cause of ac tion. Regarding fire detection sys tems m country schools, cheaper amts have been okayed. Small schools had complained they were being forced to comply with fire regulations that were unfair. Strict interpretation of the rules, they said, would make them in stall expensive systems requiring electricity and in some cases the fire warning unit would be worth more than the building Under the revised schedule, schools of less than 5,000 square feet in area may use a cheaper detection sys tem not employing electricity Rules governing fire protection in Nebraska schools will become effective Sept. 1. State Fire Marshal Joe Divis says he will grant extensions to schools showing “good intent." Employment Security The first paychecks to unem ployed Nebraska workers were distributed in the late 1930’s. Smce then there have been con siderable changes in the Employ ment Security program. State Labor Commissioner Don ald Rastemever savs that a re view of the history of the pro gram, which has been m effect tor 25 years, shows the number of workers with unemployment in surance protection protection has more than doubled. The dollar benefits received weekly and the duration of the compensation have been extended, he added. In April, 1937, the unemployed worker got $8,67 fur 16 weeks. To day, the figure is $28.59 for 26 weeks. Bastemeyer said ‘over the years the unemployment msurance pro gram has come to be recognized as a first line of defense against both personal hardship for the wage earner and unemployment and recessionary influences for the nation." In 1958, the latest compiled figure, $7.8 million, was paid to unemployed Nebraska workers. Bastemeyer says there are 11, 855 Nebraska employers sub ject to state unemployment in surance laws wIyo have contribut ed $6. 5 million to the fund from which paychecks are drawn. Industry Search The State Resources Division is getting set to step up plans to at tract industry. To help do the job is $35,000 allocated to the divi sion by the special session of the Legislature. The money will be used in part for research and the remainder to aid communities that are looking for new industri al plants. Dave Osterhout, chief of tlie division, began a tour of the east immediately after the session ended to contact prospects for new industries. He will talk with representatives of companies ;ilre;wiv interested ill Comilie to Nebraska. The action of the Legislature will be used by the division also to denote that Nebraska now has a more favorable attitude toward obtaining new industries. Also passed by the Legislature, as ex pected, was a bill putting a Con stitutional amendment on the No vember ballot. The amendment, if passed, would allow cities and counties to issue revenue bonds to buy or build sites for industries. Bonds would be paid off from rent paid by the industries. They would get iK) tax exemiition and land could not be acquired by condemnation. An amendment to do a similar tiling was turned down by voters in the 1958 general election. Le gislators felt generally, however, that Nebraskans would better un derstand the proposal now and therefore would approve it. Sundry Claims The Sundry Claims board has recommended the state should pay $7,025 to persons for damages in curred as the result of some in cident involving the state. Claims totaling $50,979 had been filed with the board, composed of the tax commissioner, auditor, and attorney general’s offices and the clerk of the Legislature. Recom mendations are made to the next session of the Legislature which then decides whether to pay the money. Try The Frontier Want Ad* — It Pay* ! Phone 788 VERIHORE-—Staff Sgt.
