His appointment at the $6,000 a year post was announced last week by the governor, who said Sallows "generally speaking will aid and advise in all non-technical phases of the highway de partment's activities." After his appointment, the former Times-Herald publisher told reporters: "I haven't fully discussed my activities with the governor and the state engin- eer s0 1 don't know what the approach to the problems will Sallows said it would be his purpose to "secure as much good road work over the state as the money available will provide."

The Lincoln Telephone & Telegraph company's plea to have its rate case reheard by the railway commission, and the motion for rehearing by George Skulety, representing the Jef- ferson County Farm Bureau, prompted the commission to hear oral arguments this week on whether the case should be reconsidered. In motions filed only a day apart, the company claimed the rates prescribed by the commis sion are so low as to constitute uniawiui coniiscation ci the company s plant and preprety. Skulety contended hte higher charges authorized in a Dec. 91 nrrlor t Vo rrimmiccinn nn. lastingly preserve horse ana buggy boundaries of exchanges established 50 years ago." Paul Gilbert, secretary of the state game commission, report ed this week that commission income last year amounted to $75702, about $55,000 more than the record high set in 1943 Three main sources make up the commission's income: hunt ing and fishnig permits, feder al aid, and legistlative tax ap propriations far park improve ments. Restricted seasons and bag limits brought about fewer hunt ers than in 1948, cutting the commission's revenue from per mits $21,000 under 1948. Automobile insurance is cheaper in Nebraska now. Rates generally dropped 10.3 percent, for a net savings to all drivers nf mnrp than hnlf million dol lars a year, according to State insurance uirecior tsernara Stone. Lower repair costs and fewer claims are responsible for the downward trend according o Stone. The revision wjs developed on the basis of statistics of re ports made to the insurance de partment by companies and apply to all which are members or subscribers to the National Automobile Underwriters As sociation. Similar reductions are also being approved for in dependent companies. Four hundred fifty eight firms 1 incorporated in Nebraska during 1949, the annual reports of Cor poration Clerk Harold Woten in the secretary of state's office showed. The figure brought to about 7,126 the total number of corporations in the state. In 1948 579 firms filed ar ticles of incorporation. Woten said 161 firms were dissolved for non-payment of taxes, many of which were formed in the first post-war year of 1946. The state collected $53,007 in fees and $179,019 in occupation taxes during the 12-month per iod, Woten said. Both figures are considerably over 1943. The state liquor commission collected $2,701,186 in 1949, com pared to $2,552,344 for the pre vious year. Last month, the commission took in $185,192, against $246,830 for November and $198,997 for the last month of 1943. Curtailment of the state's aer onautics department's airport improvement program is in the offing unless revenue from avia tion fuel increases, according to James Ramsey, director of the department. Ramsey said money received from the 212-cent-per-gallon tax amounted to $113,211 in 1943 compared to $174,095 in 1948. The drop was attributed to the fact that one of the larger airlines had ceased refueling ABOVE THE r ittvi aau club for women, called "Ye . Welcome Wagon." New residents are welcomed at a buck-twenty- five per plate to a monthly dinner j (you're disqualified after 50 years , residence). .. j One night, husbands were invited or subpoenaed. We tagged along with the missus just because of the kicks those we would have suf fered had we refused to attend. The food was untra ulcer (French for cold and soggy), and the strong est potable was water. The club should have been called "Ye Water Wagon." Somebody had suggested the kit tenish idea of shuffling husbands and wives. Once it was old fash ioned only to love your wife. Now it's passe even to sit with her. His torical and fictional names were pinned on the guests who were ex- ' pected to look around and mate according to history and fiction. We were Cupid in search of Psyche. She found us hiding under the piano. GREEK MYTHOLOGY describes Psyche as "a lovely maiden, the personification of the soul, usually represented with the wings of a butterfly." Ours didn't follow the script. Her three kids belied her maidenhood, the most soulful thing she mentioned was floor wax, and her wings would have grounded any butterfly. We played exhilarating games, like naming Santa's reindeer and the mules in "Muletrain" and drop ping clothespins into milk bottles. Cupid wanted to bob for applejack and pin the tail on Psyche, but kid stunts were out. They wouldn't let us throw darts at the master of ceremonies either. PRIZES WERE PRESENTED to 1 couples married the longest, mar ried the most times and married legally; to men who married wom en and vice versa. One fellow got a prize for being named John. Qualifying for a prize was difficult, which heightened the excitement, for you never knew when you would win a prune masher for hav ing letters in your initials. All plugs attached to prizes were by courte sy of local stores. We won a can of paint at bingo. Nex,t to tiddley-winks and jacks, we like bingo best. After that party, we felt like painting the town red, but the paint was white. operations in Nebraska during the year, Ramsey said. Nebraska's pocketbook was larger in 1949 from interest earned from investment of ex cess funds, according to the state treasurer. Edward Gillette, said the amount was $40,000 more than money earned in 1948 from the camr cmirpcc inn pnnciriorihhr same sources and considerably above any previous year Vbiluuvkn By Mrs. F. O.
