CASE, County Judge No. 1446 Febr. 1, 8, 15, 1951. rVSNVVWVVWVVVVVVVW isms We think the best news items a paper can carry are about things that have taken place, that's why it is discouraging sometimes to have committee heads literally "break their neck" to be sure announcements of meetings and parties appear in The Journal prior to the date, then neglect to give a reporter the details following the event. The Journal maintains two nunB. mica uucli iu news ucn-o for accommodation of the pub- .in Run . uuuiinnL !ic and we als.uLe. yuJ5"ithat the diabetes detection they are both busy receiving items of news from cooperative residents we appreciate it. Dial 241 right now. Baburek Brotners, who oper ate a machine shop over on First Avenue, received some nice pub licity by way of the Lincoln State Journal the past week, in cluding a photograph in a page spread depicting the pro and con of the controversial legisla tive question regarding the Mil ford Trade School. While we are of the opinion that we plain taxpayers are in no position to maintain many of our luxuries. both on a national ana local lev el, the Baburek's are a splendid eV of J r,inir ThP,P ments of proper training. These two excellent machinists wilt bear watching. Some of these days, with proper cooperation and encouragement, we predict they'll put Plattsmouth on the industrial map. A Minnesota resident in our office the other day asked "why" all the corn cribbed along Platts mouth'i main thoroughfare. When informed of the generosity of our farm friends in giving this corn to the polio fund through the March of Dimes, he was frank in his praise that this was "the most original plan and greatest show of giving" he had ever seen. While credit for do nating corn goes to producers, as near as we can learn, Henry Donat was the gentleman who came up with the Idea. We are sorry to see Senator C. E. Metzger's name attached to a recent Legislative Bill thrown in the hopper seeking g?flag JnlUr family physicians. Sales Tax law. Nebraskans are traditionally opposed to new forms of taxation and particu larly to sales taxes and this one seems to be as loose jointed affair as previous bills that only once ever got out of committee. Most obnoxious feature of the bill is the little phrase "State Tax Commissioner should take into consideration sales tax rev enue when levying property We predict a stormy path for this attempt to pass a sales tax. To trv to legislate a sales tax bill in a form that is expected ionTnHtoa a'neraTfund to be rinipH n ,t nt ThPdisrrPtion of the spenders will raise a howl that can be heard from here to Chey enne. It might be wise, for a change, for all elective and appointive bodies to concentrate for a short time on discoveries of economy methods in government and its administration rather than the continual pursuit of more dollar revenue in new forms of taxa tion that already has taxpayers hollering bloody-murder. Not to appear pythonic, we predict passage of a sales tax law that first does not carry definite provisions as a replace ment levy or other clauses such as homestead exemptions, has about as much chance of stick ing as our recent "good roads program." This newspaper would certain ly like to have some of our read ers speak their mind on this subject. . , Patrons of our school missed a top musical program presented by the band under direction of Ward Pscherer at the high school building Monday evening. This writer has heard nothing but praise for band members and its leadership. Wrhy a larger crowd was not present to enjoy this excellent winter musical that included many top tunes of the day, is a question. But. more than that, discouraging to sponsors and band members Perhaps someday we pikers will get up guts enough to vote a few paltry bonds and construct a hall of some kind where en tertainment of this kind can oc presented without forcing an apology to our neighbors and b necessary to squeeze a 40-year-old body under a teenage desk. At any rate. Director Pscherer and his organization did them- 1 selves proud Monday night. We' trust he and the band will not ; take the reception of that eve ning as indicative of the support he can expect in the future, or the band has received in the past. It's about time to start pour ing ever seed cataloges, sharp en up the hoe and spade getting ready for another growing sea son. Last year ,or two, Platts mouth has made great strides in beautification of the city and right now would be a gopd time to lay plans for even more ex tensive programs during 1951. Chamber of Commerce and our Garden Clubs could play a big part. Why not a lawn and flow er garden contest with adequate prizes? A little financial in ducement and the honor of the city's outstanding beautifier of the year might create a miracle. - Fred Rea came in rather chip per over our remark that Ne braska City claimed they could make their power for half what they could buy it for, but wilted when we agreed that electricity was the biggest bargain we are buying in this day of the sinking dollar. WThat this country needs is a nickle capable of buying five cents worth. RRF. Doctors Discover Many Unknown Diabetic Patients Tj Vphrankfl Rratp MpHirnl .1",, SLMi drive which it conducted in Ne braska November 12-18, led to the discovery of about 300 pre viously unknown diabetic pa tients. Dr. Morris Margolin, Omaha, chairman of the association's Diabetes Committee, made the announcement. He stated that a sampling of about one-fourth of the medical association's membership showed that 92 new diabetics were found by these doctors during the one-week de tection drive. "If this figure were projected over the entire membership," Dr. Margolin said, "it would in dicate that somewhere in the neighborhood of 300 new cases were discovered and placed un , pr mri5nl , rp,tmpJ .. der medical treatment The committee chairman re lated that 8,619 diabetes exam inations were made by the doc tors checked- for an average 34.4 examinations by each doctor. Using these averages, he said there were probably about 32, 000 tests made by Nebraska doc tors in conjunction with the de tection drive. Dr. Margolin pointed out that the deiecuon drive also encour aged several hundred known diabetics to reaffirm their diag nosis and to continue treatment. He asserted that continued care of these patients is "tremend ously important if they are to live normal lives." "Our committee recognizes," he added, "that the detection program did not discover all of the state's unknown diabetics. According to present figures there are still about 9,000 dia betics in Nebraska who are not aware of their condition and who are not under the care of "Although the detection drive is over, the search for these cases must be perpetuated. If these undiagnosed diabetics are allowed to go untreated, serious complications are bound to re sult in many instances. For that reason, we again urge, that all Nebraskans periodically get a simple diabetes test from their doctor." Starting Chicks Early Is Advised LINCOLN Chicks should not st?,rtedt thartn FfbrUa in order t0 take advantage of higher egg prices in the fall months, according to Extension Poultry and Egg Marketing Spe cialist J. W. Goble of the Uni versity of Nebraska. If the farmer starts chicks before March 1, says Mr. Goble, he will have eggs to sell at the beginning of the period of high prices. If chicks are started in late spring they will come into production late in the fall when prices are about ready to break. Here are more advantages of starting chicks before February, according to Mr. Goble: If straight run chicks are pur chased, cockerels can be sold during the spring months when broiler prices are higher than in summer. Some hatcheries offer a discount price for early chick orders A farmer will be able to avoid the lower prices that are paid for pullet eggs during the period wrn there is an over supply Eany chicks offer a chance to market pullet eggs ahead of the seasonal glut. The wise poul tryman, says Mr. Goble, will have large eggs to sell when others are selling the pullet va riety. Sheep Shearing School Slated LINCOLN A sheep shearing school is scheduled at the Uni versity of Nebraska college of ag riculture for Feb. 5 and b. K. C. Fouts, extension anima husbandman at the University of Nebraska, said those attend ing will learn the latest tech niques in shearing sheep care fully and efficiently. The first day's session starts at 9:30 a. m. Nearly 1,400 miles of irriga tion canals keep the Valley of the 'Sun around Phoenix, Ariz.. fertile and verdant.

It will be the second conference go for the home town teams in three nights. The Blue Devils tansled with E!air on the home court Wednesday night. Including the Ashland game, the Blue Devils still have four conference games to go. Wahoo is leading the loop, even though Blair is the tournament cham pion. Blair bumped Wahoo for conference honors at Lincoln last week. But with Ray Koubec show ins consistent improvement and Stan Cole beginning to hit, the Blue Devils are goins to be tough comoetition for confer ence opponents. The local's home slate is against them however. With nine games still to be played, only three of the contests are on the home court. After Ash land. Stewart's crew will have only Wahoo and Crete to play at home. Six games will be played on the road. In eight games this season, excluding the Blair eame Wed nesday night, the Blue Devils have averaged 42 points per game Koubec and Merle Dasher set the pace in early season scoring, but Stan Cole is raoidlv moving uo to challenge the leaders. Cole's play in the tournament was especially noteworthy. It'll be tough, but the locals should stop Ashland here Fri day night.

Blair jumped into an early 9 3 first quarter margin and was never threatened. Thev led 23 11 nt the three-quarter mark.
