Consumers Public Power Dis trict has announced that they will advertise for bids on $2,500. 000 of new bonds to help fi nance seme phrases of the con struction. It was stated that aDpmxi--natelv $10009.000 of the $15. 000 000 construction exDenditure will be financed from corrent earnings and that bonds will be ;9-MPd to co"er the remaining $5,000,000 as the work progresses. The proposed new bonds will e scheduled over a twenty-two vear amortization period termin ating in 1971, thus, the new bond issue will not extend beyond the original bonds. The new bond issue vrill be entirely separate from the orig inal bonds, covering new evter- ions pf transmission facilities which will return additional revenue to make them self liquidating. Therefore, the new bond issue will have no effect on the retirement of the origin al bonds, nor the provisions of the law whereby a city or vil lage may acquire its distribu tion system. The proposed construction program, which is already un derway with over $4,500,000 scheduled for 1948, will provide new facilities to assist in in creasing power supply into many areas of the state and improve ment of transmission and sub station facilities throughout the state-wide system to keep pace with the rapidly increasing use of electric power. It will also cial Security "How long must I work to be eligible for Social Security re tirement benefits" This question is asked thous ands of times each week through out the country so here's the answer in general terms. You must work long enough in covered jobs, jobs in private industry or business to become "fully insured" under the Old- Age and Survivors Insurance system. , To become "fully insured" a wage earner must have worked in covered jobs in one-half the calendar quarter periods elaps ing between the beginning of the Old-Age and Survivors Insur ance program on January 1, 1937, (or his twenty-first birthday if that Yas later) and the date on which he reaches age 65 or dies. It is also necessary that he be paid wages of at least $50.00 in each of the calendar quarter periods in which he is required to work in covered jobs. There is a minimum. In no case can a worker become "ful'y insured" unless he has at least six quarters of coverage. There is also a maximum. Once a wage earner has acquired 40 quarters of coverage that is 10 full years in covered jobs he is "fully insured" for life. TIIE PLATTSMOtTTIT, NEBRASKA, .TOTTNAL Thursday, February 26, 1948.

C. Fouts, extension animal husbandman. Sheen numbers are the lowest since 1867. Farm flocks are profitable, Fouts, says, launching a cam paign to encourage Nebraska fe.rmers to raise more sheep and increase the number of farm flocks. Lambing troubles which dis courage so many farmers can be prevented, he continues. The last eight weeks before Ismbing are important to the lamb crop. In this period the , causes for pregnancy disease or "paralysis" show up or a.re crevented. These troubles can be Jargelv avoided by giving ewes a balanced ration, follow ing good management practices, and laying out a program for the farm flock and following it through. A balanced lambing ration re quires protein and clean green alfalfa. When grass (including corn fodder or silage) forage is used a.n added pound 'of alfalfa plus about one sixth of oil meal per head per day is needed. Leafy green alfalfa has added value even when fed in small amounts. "When oil meal is fed, one pound of bone meal per day should be added for each thirty five ewes. A mineral box kept supplied end under cover is a must. The bcx can have two companions, one for salt and a mixture in the other.
