Throughout the entire past week,
A. E. Edgerton, county recreation
supervisor. Peter Gradoville, super
visor of music, lley Mays, supervisor
of physical education, and Mrs. Kallie
Marshall, supervisor of women's arts
and crafts, were attending an edu
cational institute in the city of Lin
coln. The works in the mornings
were under the direction of A. D.
Zanzig, community music specialist,
and Reynold Carlson, nature special
ist, both of New York City, and em
ployed by the National Recreation
association.
On Monday afternoon the meeting
was addressed by J. R. Smith, deputy
administator, Works Progress Admin
istration, for the state of Nebraska,
who spoke on the subject of "Two
and a Ha If Years of a Works Pro-
gram." In hi3 remarks, Mr. Smith
stated that the recreation service was
a project of the highest caliber and
was considered second only to the
road and highway work and would
continue to receive the full cooper
ation of the V0rk3 Progress Admin
istration. Mrs. Ethel May Sannman,
director women's and professional
projects, followed Mr. Smith and
explained the close relationship of
the recreation service with the reg
ular WPA clerical and professional
work. Mrs. Maud Nuquist, member
of the Nebraska board of control con
cluded the session on Monday by plac
ing much emphasis on the work of
the recreation service to the social
program of the board of control.
On Tuesday, the meeting was ad
dressed by M. C. Lefler, superintend
ent of the Lincoln schools, who spoke
on the relationship of the recreation
service and the public schools. He
pointed out that the service should
never be referred to as "wreck-creation"
but should always be consid
ered as a re-creation service. Mr.
lefler stated that the recreation ser
vice took up the work of inspiration
to broaden the scope of intelligence
and brought out the desire to learn
from both the students and the par
ents. He advised the recreation ser
vice that it could depend on the
school systim at all times. Following
Mr. Lefler's address. W. C. Myer, dis
trict supervisor and W. J. Cotter
both or the Nebraska state employ
ment service addressed the meeting
on problems of employment and mak
ing a job analysis.
On Wednesday, W. II. Werkmeister,
d o-tor of philosophy and psychology
from the University of Nebraska, ad
dressed the meeting on "The Cultural
Significance or Leisure." Ur. Werk
meister has recently traveled over
the Urasian continent on a study tour
of the importance of cultural signi
ficance of leisure. He stated that 85
per cent or the people in Germany
were extremely loyal to the dictator
ship of Adolf Hitler for reason that
Mr. Hitler's program took lull advan
tage of influence created through it
creation and that the progress and
safety of our nation was dependent
upon the guidance and direction of
our recreation work. He further
brought out the tact that if our peo-J
pie were lert with itMe hands and
idle mind3 the dictatorial powers
would take advantage and guide us
into the wrong channel. He further
brought out that it was the duty
of our recreation councils to guide
the recreational service toward the
permanence of our democratic form of
government.
Thursday being Thanksgiving the
meeting was adjourned until Friday,
when G. II. Carrithers, director of
operations division of the WPA ex
plained the method of procuring the
assistance of WPA. Mr. Beeman? di

ond to none in prompt and efficient
compilation and submission of finan
cial reports.

extension courses in connection vith

voe. At four o'clock in the afternoon on
Friday, the meeting was adjourned
to permit those in attendance to view

hibited through the cooperative ef
forts of the Lincoln recreation board
and the Lincoln Chamber of Com
merce. Special reserved seat tickets

RABELAIS HOUSE IN METZ
TURNED INTO MUSEUM
"MET2. France (UP) The house
where Francois Rabelais lived in
Metz in 15 47 has just been convert
ed into a museum. By a resolution
of the Metz municipal council, the
house will be restored and architects
are studying ancient documents and
engravings so that the structure will
be exactly as it was when the writer
inhabited it.
A collection of relics, possibly
manuscripts and ancient editions of
the works of Rabelais is being as
sembled for the new literary shrine
which i.s expected to attract thou
sands of visitors in years to come.
Rabelais lived in the house while
(serving a3 a physician in Metz. After
the death of Francis I the writer be
came municipal doctor in that city
and there he concentrated on the
fourth book of "The Heroic Deeds and
Gargantua and Pantagruel."
DISTILLERIES' BYPRODUCT
SOLD AS STOCK FEED
PEORIA. 111. (UP) A movement
to stop river pollution forced Peoria
liquor distillers to find other uses for
their waste products until they have
built up a profitable business in by
products. Before the campaign got under way
industrial waste in the river here re
portedly was equivalent to the sew
age volume of a city of 3,000,000
population.
Now the distilleries dry the grain
after fermentation and Sell it for
cattle fe?d. Prices have ranged from
cost, $10 a ton, to as high as $42.
Waste products from the distil
leries arc only about 15 per cent of
their former volume. Treatment pro
cesses may permit the utilization of
9S per cent of the waste in by-products
or leave it harmless to pollute
rivers.
COUPLE WED 70 YEARS
ANADARKO. Okla. (UP) Mr. and
Mrs. J. A. Massey celebrated their

ing a quiet day discussing the early
part of their married life. " Wc de

about old times, rather than trying
to have any kind of a celebration,"
Massey said. He is 91, his wife 84.

Projected Soil
Conservation
Plan Abandoned
Creation of Proposed District in
Southeastern Nebraska Lacks
Support of Farmers.
LINCOLN, Dec. 1 (UP) Although
two projected soil conservation dis
tricts in southeastern Nebraska have
been abandoned for lack of support
among farmers, a referendum on the
formation of a third one in Franklin
and Webster counties will be held
December IS, the state soil conserva
tion committee announced today.
Harold Engstrom, secretary of the
committee, admitted that there is
"considerable opposition" to the dis
tricts. The first referendum, held among
farmers in the Little Nemaha and
Muddy creek basins of Otoe, John
son and Lancaster counties, resulted
in rejection by a vote of 107 to 97.
The law requires 75 per cent of those
voting to give their approval before
the district may be organized. The
state committee has ruled that at
least 55 per cent of the resident land
owners must vote.
Another proposed district, embrac
ing 842,000 acres of land in Nemaha,
Otoe and Cass counties, has been
abandoned without the formality of a
hearing. The state committee was
convinced, after hearing expressions
from farmers at Nebraska City, Au
burn, Talmage, Union, Syracuse, Pal
myra and Greenwood, that-the farm
ers did not want a district.
Engstroms said two other proposed
districts the Nemaha "watershed dis
trict in Richardson, Nemaha and
Pawnee counties and the Turkey
Creek district in Pawnee and John
son counties probably will be re
jected by the state committee with
out referendums. The reaction of
farmers at hearings was sufficient to
convince the committee, consisting of
Dr. George E. Condra, Dean W. W.
Burr and W. H. Brokaw of the Uni
versity of Nebraska.
"The opposition seems to be stem
ming from Nebraska City," Eng
stroms said.
He said there seems to be a fair
chance of organizing three other dis
tricts the south-central district in
Franklin and Webster counties on
which a vote will be taken December
18, the Pappio district in Douglas
and Sarpy counties and the Twin Blue
district in Jefferson and Gage coun
ties. The hearings and referendums are
creating lively controversies in the
areas affected.
The problem, as Engstrom sees it,
is putting a halt to deterioration of
America's 600,000,000 acres of farm
land, 100,000,000 acres of which, he
asserted, already have been rendered
unfit for cultivation.
The danger of soil conservation
districts, opponents contend, is that
they may lead to "regimentation" of
the farmer by the federal govern
ment, they also have pointed out the
possibility that a future legislature
may put "teeth" in the law by giv
ing districts the right to place tax
burdens on farmers or enforce soil-
conserving regulations.
FARM FAMILY BUDGET HIGHER
LINCOLN, Nov. 29 (UP) Nebras
ka farm family probably will find
their food bill somewhat higher in
193S because of the "unusually low"
supply of home grown fruits and
vegetables in Nebraska farm homes
the college of agriculture said today.
In the "Nebraska Farm Outlook"
prepared by Miss Muriel Smith of
the agricultural college, Nebraska
farmers are urged to plan for in
creased home use of eggs, milk and
meat next year since it is expected
that the buying power of farm prod
ucts is to be lowered in 1938 than in
1937.
WILL .RETAIN EXAMINERS
LINCOLN, Nov. 29 (UP) State
Engineer A. C. Tilley announced to
day that the full force of examiners
handling issuance of new drivers li
censes would be retained until next
Saturday in every county.
Thereafter drivers desiring licenses
will have to wait unt.il the 24 high
Way safety patrolmen assigned as
examiners are able to make the tests
in the counties. Jack Stamp is Cass
county examiner.
Tilley emphasized that license re
newals will cost $1.00 instead of 75c
after Tuesday when the 90-day dead
line for issuance of licenses ends.
