Capitol Custodian Harold Hul fish said $100,000 already has been spent on the terrace, pri marily for replacing broken tiles, at $1.15 each. Two firm3 have estimated it would cost $161,000 to $175,000 to water proof the building from tower to terrace. One suggestion was that the terrace be closed and made in to a roof. Governor Peterson thought the public wouldn't hold still for that. At the same time, the murals commission for the capitol named a committee to decide on what kind of art should be put in the empty panels along the corridor leading to the ro tunda. These panels have been blank since the capitol's com pletion. Other Statehouse News in a capsule: Dr. Herbert R. Kennedy, of Omaha, was named 1950 game t commission chairman, succeed f ing Clarke L. Wilson of Lincoln, (Frank J. Brady, of Atkinson, Us vice-chairman. The next session of the legis lature will be asked to consider a 40-hour week for state em ployes. An opinion from the attorney general's office says state law sets the work week at 44 hours. State Merit System Director Arthur Pendray says morale and efficiency would be improved with a shorter week. An item here last week that Nebraska may have 2 Thanks givings was unfounded. Gov. Peterson's staff rechecked the statutes and found out that the 1945 legislature put Nebraska in step with the majority of the states and congress, by desig nating the fourth Thursday in November instead of the last. Nebraska's anti - gambling campaign has caught up its governor. Last fall Gov. Pet erson bet two bucks on the Wayne-Doane football game with Gale Welch, a Doane stu dent.' The chief executive is a Wayne alumnus. Peterson spoke in Crete last week and remarked that he was eligible to collect since Wayne had beat the Tigers. "In view of recent legal developments regarding gambling in Nebraska," he said, "I'm asking my opponent to donate the money to some worthy cause at Doane."

Bring Schools Close to People Nebraska's schools must be brought closer to the people by making them a service institu tion for the community, a Uni versity of Nebraska sociologist said Thursday. Dr. John P. Johansen spoke before the closing day's session of the Town and Country Church conference on the Uni versity of Nebraska college cf agriculture campus. He said county committees on school district reorganization have a "marvelous opportunity" to push the present school issue "down to the grass roots" and stimu late interest of the community's people. Dr. Johansen confessed that stimulating interest in schools is an uphill job. He pointed out that about a sixth of Nebraska's elementary pupils and a third of the high school students live outside the district where they attend school. The NU sociologist said he be lieves the present law in Nebras ka puts the reorganization on the right track. He said school districts should be reshaped "in terms of natural community areas with emphasis on placing schools where people trade and where they feel at home." Dr. Johansen said a rural area should have as many schools as necessary and where the school patrons want them.

George Vogel of South Bend, one of the original boosters for a dam on the Platte river, was in Louisville the past week, ac- . cording to the Louisville Cour ; ier, and is still enthusiastic over 1 the creation of a water power project in that locality. : Mr. Vogel is now in favor of i the placing of the dam on the I Piatte river nearer the town of j-iouisvme man the urst sug gested site farther west on the river. The original plans that called for a dam wTest of South Bend, drew the fire of the city of Ash land and Lincoln whose source of water supply is in the Ashland area, also the Burlington rail road whose lines are located in the vicinity of the proposed dam and lake. The new plans are to bring the dam nearer Louisville where it would not interfere with Ashland or the Lincoln water supply. The new plans however would still force the Burlington to move their tracks as well as the Rock Island railroad and the town of South Bend would have to be moved as it is in the path of the proposed lake formed back of the dam. Mr. Vogel sees the dam as the source of wrater power for this part of the state and hopes 'to interest the Louisville Chamber of Commerce in the plans. Lyle Choate Will Be on Farm Program The second annual Pasture-Forage-Livestock conference to be held in Omaha on March 9th, will feature many interest ing discussions and panels to take up the study of these pro blems of the farm and the far mers. One of the speakers will be Lloyd Choate, of near Nehaw ka, who is engaged in operat ing one of the largest farms in Cass county and well known over the state for his work in the advancement of the farm work in this section. The morn . ing panels will be moderated by . Dr. Floyd Andre, dean and di rector of agriculture of Iowa State college. Drs. Les Hanson and J. L. Krieder of the uni verities of Nebraska and Illin ois, will also be featured. In addition to Mr. Choate on the farm operators' section of the panel will be Bill Yungclas, well known Webster City, Iowa, swine producer. The meetings will be spon sored by the Omaha Chamber of Commerce.

School Board Associations To Hold Meet Delegates and other interest ed citizens attending the Ne braska State School Boards as sociation convention in Grand Island, February 7 and 8, will witness an actual school board meeting in session. At the request of the conven tion committee of the associa tion, the Grand Island board agreed to hold its monthly meeting in the large convention hall of the Yancey Hotel on Tuesday evening, February 7th. Building construction problems will be considered. Budget studies will be conducted. Opin ions of the board's legal counsel will be called for, if necessary. This will not be a mock affair, but a regular official meeting of the board. The purpose of this kind of program is to let the observers see the differnce between pol icy making and administration. It is also felt that many board members will get new ideas of how to prepare and follow the agenda for such a meeting, and they will see the kind of reports which they should expect from their superintendents. Other sessions of the conven tions will be filled with panels by farm groups, labor organiza tions, taxpayers, and profession al educators. The objective is to get all groups of citizens to understand the educational needs of the state and to agree on a single course of action which will be solidly backed by all.
