JL THE PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA, SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL PAGE EIGHT Thursday, February 24, 1949 , I x - t I i Cornhusker News (Editor's Note: Harold Allen, responsible for the following column, knows what the weath er means to all phases of agri culture because home to him is a farm near David City. At present Allen is majoring in agricultural journalism at Ne braska). For the last seven weeks, newspaper headlines have been hearlding blizzard disasters and . the accomplishments of "Oper ations Snowbound.". Both have been news news great, but yet terrible. For this, the winter of 1949, has been the worst in the history of the area. Losses of life, property and livestock have been so enormous that their extent in many cas es, will not be known until spring when some sort of total can be computed. But regardless of the losses suffered, both in life and pro perty, the adage " "Tis an ill wind that blows nobody some E.ood" will still hold true. Valuable information will be learned from the disaster. While it probably will not beein to offset the winter's terrific re verses, there will be, neverthe less, some gains. Because of Nature's violence, it will be learned just how long different classes of livestock can survive without food or water. For instance, a popular belief that cattle will not lick snow has been proved false this win ter. While cattle cannot get their water requirements com pletely by licking snow, they can survive on it. Horses trao ped in barns were found alive days later. They had maintain ed life by eating wood from which thv obtained and di gested cellulose. Or consider damage to the winter wheat croo. By harvest time this summer, it will be known how well different var ieties of wheat can survive cold temperatures, suffocation from ! ice and snow, and early freezes. Fernaps tne Diggest gam i" knowledge, however, will be man's gain in common sense. Although blizzard warnings were often put out days in ad vance, each storm found more people trapped in their cars on highways. Each storm found more families without food or fuel. We have been made aware, too, that our present day meth ods of living are far from per fect. Before modern inventions such as the automobile, ranch ers would stock up each fall for the coming winter. Now, if rancTiers don't get to town once a week, they run the risk of starving. The state as a whole also should have learned a lesson. That lesson is that our snow removal equipment is far from t adequate. Perhaps when tax ! payers become aware of this I fact, the legislature will take I action. Something good has been learned too that cooperation : during any disaster is the key to success. Without it, the cause would have been lost. Lastly, we should have learn ed that we cannot control Na ture. Man, as always, is still at her mercy when she decides to let it snow or let it blow. OV-. V.V,V WAV DEFROSTED SIDEWALK . . . Ileated coils of wrought iron embedded in the pavement keep this 100-foot-Iong sidewalk in front of New York's famous 21 Club warm enough to melt the snow as it falls and prevent ice from forming. A pump forces hot water through the coils. Anti-freeze in the water prevents freexing when system is not in use. A flick of a switch does the trick. Joe Solomon Back at Clarkson Hospital Joe Solomon, local merchant, who has been in frail health for the past several months re turned this week to the Clark son hospital at Omaha where he will undergo a check up and treatment for a short time at least. Mr. Solomon has been home for the past two months and showed a very pleasing gain but in the last weeks has not been so well and it was felt that treatment at the hospital would i . i De necessary.

Live Wire Club Entertains Units The Live Wire unit of the Farm Bureau association enter tained the past week three other units of the association at a very delightful social tire at the Plattsmouth Sale- barn in the south part of the city. The affair brought out a large number of the friends to enjoy the event. The members of the Friendly Farmers, Be Square and Sunnyside units were the guests of the evening. The big feature of the evening was the pancake and sausage supper served by the hosts, with loads of the country sausage and pancakes, the latter prepared by the Gooch Milling Co., of Lin coln, and the delicious coffee that had been prepared by the ladies. After the supper the evening was spent at cards and in listen ing to a varied program given by Mrs. Emil Schmidt and children, Mary and Carroll in readings and musical offerings. Garold Keil was awarded the special prize. WiSlSK? Tafronize Journal Advertisers. !

Advertising Has Proven Big Hit A great deal of interest has been aroused over the commun ity by the advertising carried by Schreiner Drugs in the Journal in the past two weeks. Each of the adds has a hidden name and the party whose name ap pears can call the store to re port and claim the award. Al ready it has proven verv popu lar and immediately after the paper is out, calls are sent in reporting the name. jl yrfrssW fa NEVER SeIJT'X 74-:ir" 'iSS f .

S.: "I remember when un ruly kids on the farm (I was no ex ception) would sew kernels of corn on a long string and then feed it to the ducks. Pretty soon all the ducks Vere linked together and a string cutting frolic followed which created quite a barnyard commotion, espe cially if a large goose was involved." K. O. n.: "I remember when this country really had good five-cent cigars. Such as Cremo, John Ruskin, George W. Childs, Lady Churchill. You also could buy six for a quar ter. Remember ths cigar called 'Habit and its advertising slogan, 'Get the Habit'? Or Nebo cigarettes?" F. D.: "I remember when we kids used to go swimming in rivers, feed ers and clay holes, far enough away to omit the necessity of bathing suits. And how, after many dips, we emerged to find ourselves covered with leeches, difficult to remove, and each kid had to help the other get shed of them." W. P. S.: "I remember when the butcher shop windows had a row of gas flame jets at the bottom sill to defrost the windows in winter. There also were rows of gunshot rabbits hanging on hooks outside near tfcs awnings." H. IL V.: "I remember when kids sold newspapers on the open-air street cars. People got on and off the car from either side and the cars would often stop in the middle of a block for a lady passenger." " E. M. S.: "I remember when the meat market was a genuine place to buy meat. The cuts were as 'you wanted them' and the quality and taste always was tops. And the butcher used to throw in a few pounds of liver for the cat and some scraps for the dog.
