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.

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

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.
