Holt SWCD Wins Award for Year's Activity The Holt Soil and Water Con servation District this year won the World-Herald award for supervisors activity. Previous awards were won in 1948 and 1951. Competition in this year’s con test was with the following other districts: Cherry county, K-B-R, Grant-Hooker, Blaine-Thomas, Loup-Garfield, Cedar River, Val ley, Custer, Logan-McPherson, Sugar Loaf, Pine Ridge, White River and Sheridan. The award is based on the activities of District board mem bers. At the beginning of each year a chairman is selected for each of the many activities car ried out by the board of super visors and it is his responsibility to take the leadership in that particular phase of the work. These activities include such things as: annual meeting, pre paration of the annual report, the annual work plan, soil steward ship activities, the FFA-SWCD program, 4-H conservation, land and/or range jjudging, conserva tion education, tours, contrac tors meeting, assistance witil Grassland Day, the seventh and oitrhth am non firm Hav and a seed producers meeting. Two members were assigned the responsibility of working closely with the District manager on matters pertaining to the grass seed and tree business. Two N is bet grass seed drills were used on 1.450 acres and nearly 100,000 trees were planted. Seven hundred acres of grass seeding was done with the Range interseeder. The District handles locally grown grass seed on consignment from farmers and ranchers in the area. This serves the double purpose of furnishing a market for growers and a ready source of supply for those wishing to purchase seed. Results have shown that using locally adapted grass seed gives much better success than that which may have originated further south. The District keeps a complete set of account books which are taken care of by the District clerk hired from funds furnished by the Holt County board of supervisors for that purpose. Some funds are also granted lr->fE the State Soil and Water Con servation Commission. In December 1960. J. Duane Oiamberlain. Assistant Execu tive Secretary of the State Soil and Water Conservation Com mission. made a complete audit of the District bookkeeping system and found that the financial procedures of the Dis trict are now more than ade quate. He reported. “The desir ability of a qualified full-time clerk is well exemplified in the operations of this District-’’ The clerk attends the board meetings, keeps the minutes and makes the montly report for the regular monthly meetings. She lists the bills payable, prepares checks for signing and keeps a complete record of all District business so that the board has a broad view of the business con ducted from month to month. As part of the award a recogni tion banquet will be held honor ing the District supervisors. The date of November 16 has been chosen for that event. Rites Held for Mrs. W.

How True A clergyman in a neighboring town had been much annoyed by the way members of the con gregation had of looking around to take stock of late comers. After enduring it for some time he said on entering the read desk one Sunday: “Breth ren, I regret to see that your attention is called away from your religious duties by your natural desires to see who comes in behind you. I propose hence forth to save you the trouble by naming each person who may en ter, and hope that the services will then be allowed to proceed without interruption.'' He then began: “Dearly be loved.” but paused halfway to insert, “Mr. Stubbins with his wife and daughter.” Mr. Stub bins looked rather surprised, but the minister with perfect gravity, resumed his exhortation. Pre-: sently he again paused: "Mr. j Curtis and William Diggle.” The abashed congregation kept their eyes studiously bent on their books. The service continued in the1 most orderly manner, the parson interrupting himself every- now and then to name some new comer. At last he said, still with the most perfect gravity: “Mrs. Symons in a new bonnet.” In a moment he felt his mis take, but it was too late. Every feminine head in the congrega tion had turned around!
