FURNACES Installed By Martinson Sheet Metal 620 1st Ave, Phone 257 Seven Points For Preventing Swine Enteritis Told Disease prevention and indis criminate use of new drugs were linked up today in a special drive to cut swine enteritis losses on farms this winter and spring. "Farmers must remember that enteritis is not a single disease," reports the American Founda tion for Animal Health. "It cov ers a dozen different infections and disorders. For this reason, treating with penicillin or other costly drugs may be useless. Treatment depends on the indi vidual herd and should be de termined only after an accurate veterinary diagnosis. "Instead of using drugs indis criminately, farmers can do more to control enteritis by keeping the germs away from the premises in the first place." The Foundation suggested these seven preventive steps: "(1) Isolate newly-purchased swine from the home herd until Well-Styled, Durable Chrome Dinnette a a a 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 a HI ATT Furniture CO. 126 South 6th Phone 3110 g mm r i r- i i r r i r i r l r i r"l i -i Hi caches tb eh ih ch cb da th tih a lib da 5 .l5ti5ttuesue3lt3ClCJu Dinette set that incorporates many expensive features usually found only in sets at higher prices.

( WAL6REEN AGENCY ) Phone 289 PLATTSMOUTH, NEB A TN THE FIRST three weeks of the new year editors of weekly newspapers in the home towns across the nation filled their edi torial columns with criticism of things past and, reluctantly, ex pressed hopes for 1952. In a serious vein, Lowell Nye, writing in The Harvard Herald, Harvard, 111., termed 1952 the year of decision. Said Editor Nye, who does not like to pull his punches: "Will we continue to drift along in the channel of inflation, loose political morals, a ruinous foreign policy, and all these other evils that have made 1951 a sorry period in American history; or will we rise up in 1952 and restore our be loved republic to the highest level our founding fathers intended that it should be by effecting a change in our national administration? "Our federal government bat become too large a thing to re gard it as something apart too jar-reaching and expensive an op eration to say that u e can have a Happy New Year in spite of it." Editor Nye had made a point! The Lighter Touch And while Mr. Nye was preach ing reform. The Hunterdon County Democrat, Flemlngton, N.J., was reporting on the weather and snow fall in Clinton, N. J. (a short dis tance away), in a humorous tone. In Carpy's Quips the following ap peared: ' . - "Official ears must have burned in Clinton last week, but not enough to melt the "ice on Main Street Shoppers whose cars were sliding around were burned up enough to have melted it, but not untn several days later did the town fathers break down and distribute a little sand. One of the shoppers, bursting forth into verse, came up with the following: "Clinton retailers, wishing trade, Look on while people slip and wade, Altho they'll dive in muck and mud When their own cellars bate a flood. The Chief is faithful in remarking Cars too long at icy parking, But no one goes with spade and sand To give a skidding car a band. With easier places on the pike-" What if the trade went on strike0 Tongue in Cheek With tongue in cheek, Firank R. Neu, editor of The Gleewood City Tribune, Glenwood City, Wis., com mented on the past year: "We'd like to pass out a few bouquets to people and groups whom we think deserve a little ex tra attention for their activities: . . To our school teachers, who put up with my brat and ' yours more of the time than most of us do, for their efforts to plug the gaps left by us parents in the training of our youngsters. . . To Hopalong Cassidy who has brought up a new generation of gun-totin' 'good boys' via. tele vision, and who,' incidentally, has been a great boon to the manufac turers of those fancy and costly holster sets, and who has added such imaginative phrases as "Trip-A-Long Tragedy" and "Slip-A-Long Sloppily" to ' our already colorful language." 7JcM h rUJ r PIUS IDE THRILL OF THE ItJiA 11 I JJ 111 1 NEW 0L0SM0BILE HYDBA-MATIC TU U I I.
