Savings Bond Com mittee for Cass County an nounced today that sales of De fense Bonds in the county for the first three weeks of thp I Defense Bond Drive totaled $34, 042.75. At the same time, it was an nounced by Iceland R. Hall, state director, that total sales in Nebraska were $2,859,671.25, of which 67 was in Series "E" Bonds. "The Drive is off to a good start in Nebraska, and with continued effort on the part of all, will be a success," Mr. Hall said. "The three ob jectives of the drive are: . to increase Payroll Savings par ticipation; to encourage regular savings through the Bond-a- Month Plan, and to increase the number of people who are buy ing Defense Bonds," he con tinued. "The Defense Program will be long and costly, demand ing sacrifice and effort from all if we are to succeed. However, I believe that Nebraska people take the Drive slogan personally 'Remember, Defense Is Your Job, Too!' and that everyone will do his part. Nebraska's rec ord of being first in per cent of gross income invested in U. S. Savings Bonds four years out of the last five is proof that our people realize their responsibili ty and invest their savings where it helps them and their country," Hall concluded.

Road Limits And Loaded Gun Regulations Told it pertains to the shooting of birds or animals, is that right- of-way constituting a public road, and between the fences and boundaries of private prop erty. This includes both the main travelled portions of the highway and the ditches and shoulders in connection there with. The explanation reDresents the State Attorney General's most recent opinion on what constitutes public highway and shooting from a public highway at game birds and animals. The Attorney General's office also confirmed a decision made earlier which states that "a shotgun with shells either in the chamber or magazine is con sidered loaded." And Nebraska's game laws specifically state that a loaded shotgun may not be transported in a car. In past years, pheasant hunt ers were allowed to have shells in the magazine but none in the chamber. So the road-side pheasant potters will find the going a little tougher while war dens will get the breaks. - The announcement comes at a time when nimrods are be ginning to increase activity throughout the state. Rabbits are legal game at present and the squirrel season opened Mon day.
