EDITORIALS Furses Fresh Flashes REST, RELAX OR PREPARE TO DIE The importance of rest, recreation and relaxation cannot be overstressed in this day of heart attacks and other forms of sudden death. The average individual, for some reason, looks askance at idleness, either -of the mind or body, without realizing that a balanced life must include both. Con sequently, we suggest to those who think they are too busy to take any time from their businesses that they are gambling with death and the odds are against them. The stress of modern civilization has developed astonishing casualties. People go nuts for unknown reasons. They wor ry themselves sick because they overlook the vitaj importance of easing the strain of modern life. We would do nothing to militate against the labor that useful individuals . perform. It is too true that there are some who have a prejudice against earning their living and this advice is not meant for them. Those who have the idea that they cannot miss an hour from appointed tasks, or fear that an economic collapse will follow any idleness on their part, might? as well realize that the world will contin ue to revolve whether they punch the clock on time or not. Consequently, if they wish to live long and enjoy life, they might as well plan an intelligent program of activity to include conscious relaxation from the worries and cares of the day. NATIONAL CAT WEEK, NEAR The National habit of proclaiming various weeks to be celebrated includes Cat Week which occurs this year between Nov. 4th and 10th, according to the Amer ican Feline Society. It should be understood, of course, that the week is for the purpose of direct ing attention to four-footed cats, with es pecial emphasis upon the short-haired American type, "frequently but erronous ly referred to as 'the alley cat.' " The nation possesses a eat population of about 21,000,000, according to the. so ciety, which points out that fifty per cent of the felines are cared for by individual owners or "hold down jobs" in stores, factories, etc., as mousers. The society is concerned about the other half of the cat family, the unem ployed cats. It suggests that people fol-' low the slogan of the week and "adopt .i cat." The cat, no doubt, performs a useful function in the elimination of mice and rats. It would be well for the nation, again with no doubt, if there were less mice and rats. Consequently, the more cats the less, rats and the less loss to the public through the depredations of the mice and rats. TOO MUCH TO UNDERSTAND Two years ago, a two-stage rocket . ascended two hundred and fifty miles - from New Sands, New Mexico, and rocket experts assert that such a rocket might go as high as 22,300 miles above the earth. More amazing is the prediction of those who have some knowledge of rockets that once the missile reaches its orbit, it will no longer require fuel but will convert itself into a piece of our planet, becoming a member of the solar system, like a small satellite. Dr. Willy Ley, author and rocket au thority, says that such a station, if it could be manned, would be invaluable as a re search laboratory where a good vacuum was needed. It would also serve as a fuel "supply depot for ships sent out on inter planetary journeys. Moreover, as an as tronomical observatory, it would be sup erior to any on the earth since bad weath er would not obscure vision. Turning to the military possibilities . of such a base, the expert says that such a series of platforms, scattered around the earth, would not be a serious military threat "for at least five 3'ears." LAFF OF THE WEEK One reason you never see an angel with a beard is that men generally get into Heaven by a close shave. Good resolutions and babies crying in church are a lot alike both should be carried out immediately. One reason we never take a vaca tion is that if we ever spent two weeks on the sand, we'd spend the other fifty on the rocks. Flipper Fanny, our dainty little con tour twister, says if she ever casts her lot with a man he's going to have enough money to build a house on it. The frost was on the pumpkin Friday morning and with the bills coming in for winter clothing Fodder is in a state of shock. Man is that peculiar animal who gets a hearty laugh out of the old family al bum and then looks in the mirror without so much as a grin. No idea has ever been silenced by a shotgun. Even a new broom won't sweep clean .unless somebodv uses it. - Most of our troubles originate by try ing to mind somebody's business. Maybe a start has been made m Washington the White House is being renovated. We're inclined to believe that at last success has caught up with us. Our name is on every sucker list in the county, the government takes most of our income, and the doctor informs us we've got two ulcers.

The white i naired Butler controls the clos est thing to an organization outside the two parties in Ne braska politics. It cannot prop erly be called a machine, be cause it's doubtful it could de liver an election for anyone but Butler. Butler's supporters point with genuine pride to his record in the senate. They maintain that he accurately reflects the think ing of a majority of Nebraskans. From the governor's stand point, the situation has improv ed in the past few wreeks. His declination of the draft move ment in the Third congression al district appears to have bol stered his stock. One earthy party regular puts it grudgingly: "He came out smelling like a rose.''

He said, "Mervin, I don't want to frighten you but you have a serious illness. You will be sent oil the ship to the naval hospital, Honolulu, Hawaii. From there you will be evacuated to the states. It will take six months of hospitalization or more to get you well." He remained in the hospital in Honolulu until they put him aboard a Dutch freighter for San Francisco. At the' naval hospital, Oakland. California. tho doctors said he was an unusual case. All he knew was that he had a respiratory ailment, but he could see that they were doing their best to help him. Things seemed to be going well and he was transferred to the U. S. naval hospital, Corona, California. Here he was attended by a woman doctor, who, he says was one of the best doctors he ever met. Forceful in her speech and inclined to curse if things didn't go as she wanted them to go. Carnegie His progress in recovery wasn't what this doctor thought it should be. She said, "Mervin, there is something bothering you that we can't help you with, and it is preventing you from getting well. What is worrying you? You must get it il your chest." After a few minutes discussion of his prob lems, his morale was boosted greatly. He returned to his bunk and analyzed the situation. "What if I can't be so active and have to baby myself a little the rest of my life? Few of us can do exactly as we like anyway. A ma jority of the people of our great nation have had to plan their life's work over with a handicap greater than mine." Right then and there he stopped worrying and started plan ning.

Also South ern and Western Democrats felt that in view of the Vatican appointment, the new chairman should have been a Protestant rather than continuing the thirty years of Catholic party leadership. Leaders of the revolt includ ed Carl Thompson, Democratic committeeman from Wisconsin; the two Kansas committeemen. Carl Rice and Georgia Neese Clark: and Oregon's Monro'e Sweetland. The latter suggest ed that a delegation make a Dersonal protest direct to the President. Accordingly. Iowa's Florence Lvnch telephoned king-maker Matt Connelly to ask for an annointment.

Occupying their own lands in central New York since before it was New York State, they pro tested the shrinkage in the latest federal payment of cloth. An an nual allotment of cloth keeps them at peace with Uncle Sam under the terms of the 157-ycar-old "calico Treaty." Nowadays, yard goods of more fashionable chambrays and flow ered seersuckers instead of cal ico and muslin make up each year's payment of the New York Indians' portion of the $4,500 under the Treaty of Canandaigua signed in 1794. In that fixed figure lies the present catch in the durable treaty. Through boom and bust, the yard goods have shrunk and stretched with the dollar. The 1951 payment is shared by 5,700 Indians. It threatens to leave some of them short-skirted and short-shirted. In return for "clothing' and other items, " to be distributed "yearly forever," the Iroquois confederacy or Six Nations agreed never to make war ou or claim the landa of the young American nation. General Lafayette nego tiated with the chiefs. George Washington, himself, guaranteed that the Indian lands in the Fin ger Lakes region of New York would not be violated. While they were not always friendly in colonial days, several members of the Iroquois league later aided the cause of the Amer ican Revolution. When Washing ton's army was starving at Valley Forge they came to the rescue with 600 bushels of grain from their own scanty stores. This serv ice Washington never forget. A bill currently before congress would authorize annual settlement in cash in lieu of bolts of cotton. The Oneidas, now living in Wis consin, for years have taken their allotment in cash. The New York nations, however, have rejected previous cash proposals prefering to hold to the "calico" provision of the treaty. Prosperous for the most part to day, the Iroquois have many fine homes and well managed farms. To them the annual "calico day" symbolizes petpetual peace and friendship. But with prices what they arc in iy.")l, the Indians have made it plain they could use a lit tle more calico and a little lesi symbolism. v n
