M. is open to the public. Mr. N. W. Gaines, Ex tension Specialist will be present to assist with the panel. Other members for the women's ection include: an illustrated talk "Curtain Calls" by Mrs. Helen ?ucny Nelson, Dodge County Home Demonstration Agent and, "General Outlook for Home Preservation" by Miss Ruth Menoher Home Advisor of the Consumers Public Power Dist rict, Lincoln. Town as well as rural folk should plan now to save Wednesday, Feb ruary 23rd for the 4-H annual Feeders' Day meeting for Cass Coun ty. Breeding Program Meets With Favor Practically every farmer out of a group of about 50 attending a meet ing Thursday, signed contracts last week to obtain artificial insemina tion for their dairy herds. The cost is $5.00 for a three year membership in the association and J5.00 per cow to be paid in advance each year. Service will be available for Hol slein, Guernsey and Jersey herds in Cass County. Before the work can be started COO cows of any one of the breeds must be under contract.. There are about 200 Holstein and an equal number of Guernsey signed up row. If possible the work will be started March first. A number have shown interest in milking shorthorns. Probably 600 cows of this breed will be required since bulls of this breed will need to be purchased. Semen of the Holstein, Jersey and Guernsey breeds is available from the Dairy Department of the Univer sity of Nebraska. A few advantages of the program outlined by M. N. Lauritson, Extension dairyman and George Trimberger of the University of Nebraska Dairy department in cluded: 1. Better Eires at a lower cost. 2. Would eliminate the danger and cost of having a bull on the place. 3. Fewer stunted heifers through premature breeding. 4. Would minimize the spread of some infectious diseases, and 5. would .ermit producers with more than one breed to continue a good breeding program at a minimum cost. As soon as enough contracts are igned to start the work an organi zation meeting will be held at which ime officers will be elected. Those interested thould notify this office of the number of breed of cows they have. 4-H Timely Topic Speaking Contest The county 4-H public speaking contest is to be held as a part of the Feeders' Day program. 4-H mem bers interested in entering should contact the Extension agents at once to arrange for a place on the pro gram. Remember the two rules. Time eight minutes. Subject any sub ject related to timely topics of 4-H interest. Richard Cole, Chairman of 4-H County Committee Richard Cole, Plattsmouth and Mrs. G. R. Eveland of Elmwood were elected to serve for a two year term as chairman and vice chairman res pectively of the Cass County 4-H Committee. Other members of the executive board include; Miss Eve lyn Wolph, Nehawka, Sec'y and Mrs. John Reike, Weeping Water and Mr. H. E. Iske. Plattsmouth. The above election plus drawing up the 4-H program for the year were major activities at a meeting of eighteen men and women repre senting the various precincts of the county. The County Committee is made up of one man and one woman from each precinct interested in pro moting 4-H work within their com munity. Mr. L. I. Frisbie, state 4-H ciun leader added inspiration to the meeting as he discussed the ad vantages to members and the possi bilities and satisfactions to commit tees as sponsors of such a worth Boy Scout Week Points To Work Of Organization Nation Wide Movement to Make . Public Acquainted With the Scout ing Work Boy Scouts and adult leaders of the Cornhusker Council with head quarters in Lincoln join with other members of the movement through out the United States in the cele bration of Boy Scout Week which opened Tuesday and continues thru Monday, February 14. Boy Scout Week marks the 34th anniversary of the founding of the movement in America. Since Feb. S. 1910, more than 11,400,000 men and boys have been actively identi fied with Scouting. The present-day enrollment is in excess of 1,575,000 Scouts, Cubs and adult volunteer leaders. The birthday will be observed in every city and town in the nation and in hundreds of villages and ham lets as well. Boy Scouts and Cubs are having the busiest time of their lives. In addition to taking part in the nor mal programs of their Troops, Packs and Senior Units, they have partici pated in forty-five war service pro jects on request of Government agencies. In their first waste paper collec tion two years ago Boy Scouts and Cubs brought in 122,000 tons or nearly one-fourth of the paper col lected. Scouts and Cubs are now busy in their second great drive, at the request, of Donald M. Nelson, chair man of War Production Board, who asked them to salvage wastepaper "in order to keep mills running at full capacity." Already Scouts of Platsmouth have Brooder House Fires With a good many farmers start ing fires in their brooder houses, they are warned of the danger of brooder house fires. Every year, there have been too many brooder houses go up in smoke Last year, Nebraska farmers lost 75 brooder houses, and a similar number were destroyed in 194 2. That means that a lot of baby chicks and poultry equipment are destroyed every year. Suggestions by the University of Nebraska College of Agriculture poultry husbandry department to keep down the number of brooder house fires are. 1. Have buildings and equipment in firstclass condition when the time comes to use them. 2. Avoid leaky feed lines on oil burners, unreliable regulating de vices, faulty electrical appliances, carelessness in attending coal and wood fires, sooty flues and chimneys and uncontrolled drafts. 3. See that lamps and lanterns are securely fastened so that chick ens will not knock them over. 4. Place brooder houses at a safe distance from other buildings. Soybeans As A Food Home Demonstration project club members in Cass county are going to learn to utilize America's newest protein crop next month, when they take up a discussion and demonstra tion of "Soybeans as Food." To pre pare for the demonstrations, club leaders will hold their usual demon strations during the weeks of Feb ruary 7th and 14th. At the meetings, women will demonstrate the use of field and garden soybeans whether they are green, dry sprouts, flour or grits. They will also discuss the varieties of garden soybeans recommended for spring planting. Soybeans are valuable because they are a protein rich food. They may be used as extenders to make foods like meat and eggs go farther. Dry Weather Insurance With a dry winter season, and speculation on another one next year currently in the air, Prof. Wm J. Loeffel, chairman of the depart ment of Animal Husbandry, at the University of Nebraska College of Agriculture, this week urged Cass county farmers to grow forage sor ghums as dry weather Insurance. "With our livestock number up to rresent levels," he said, "we cannot afford to gamble on our feed supply Therefore, I think we should all plan to put in some Borghum next spring." He pointed out that this is a good time to be locating seed supplies, as many seeds are scarce this year, and should be secured long in advance of need. ' Every Bond You Buy Hakes the collected 7 tons of waste paper, it was announced by Dwight Edwards, who is chairman. Waste paper is used in producing such items as shell casings, bomb rings, grommets, am munition chests, supply and flare parachutes and many containers which carry food, medical supplies and military equipment to the armed forces. More than 315,000 Boy Scouts have qualified as Dispatch Bearers for the Office of War Information. They carry official identification cards signed by Elmer Davis, director of the Office of War Information and Elbert K. Fretwell, chief Scout executive. The cards bear a signed letter from President Roosevelt say ing that their tasks is "to carry to the people of your communiy vital information prepared by our gov ernment" and that "it is information vhich our civilians must have as we fight on to final victory." ?ince March 1, 1943 the Boy Scout Dispatch Bearers have distri buted and placed in public places a total of 15, 13, 375 government post ers and 35,000,000 ether pieces of literature. Last week they put up the Economic Stabilization poster and the first of the Security of War In formation posters. Next week they will place posters dealing with the "Women Marine Corps and a second Security of War Information poster Elmer Davis, in a letter to the Boy Scouts, few days ago, pays the following tribute to their work: "During the past year the Boy Scouts of America have served most efficiently as Official Government Dispatch Bearers for the Office of War Information. As in the first World War, the Boy Scouts have again answered their country's call in this war to help in bringing mes sages of vital importance to the home front. "As the Boy Scout movement ob serves its thirty-fourth anniversary during Boy Scout Week February 8 to 14 we extend to every member our appreciation not only for the fine record of former Boy Scouts serving with the armed forces but also for the record of patriotic ser vice on the home front of today's Boy Scouts." Reject Senate Bill Washington, Feb. 9. (UP) The House today rejected the senate's federal ballot amendments to the sol dier vote bill and sent the disputed legislation to conference for attempt at some form of settlement. The action, by voice vote, had been predicted inasmuch as the House last Tuesday rejected by vote of 215 to 164 an attempt to write a federal ballot provision into the states right bill which is subsepuently passed. In view of that House margin against federal ballots, the House conferees were expected to stand steadfast against the senate's efforts to incorporate such a system into the bill. Visit with Nephew Mrs. Kate Morgan was in Omaha today where she was called to visit her nephew, William Eads Ward, of Corpus Christi, Texas, who is in the naval forces stationed at this station.
