Yet, from read ing the record one has the reel ing that hard winters were not so bad in eastern Nebraska in territorial days as they were on the plains of central Nebraska in later years. Nevertheless, they were far from easy. The Nebraska Adver tiser, published at the old river town of Brownville, has a story in its issue of December 6, 1856, which tells something of the hazards of that time.

Chrome DINETTE SET With Extension Table LINCOLN Governor-elect Robert B. Crosby plunged deeper into his probing of state govern ment here this week after one day off to attend meetings in Omaha of the Missouri River States Committee and the Basin Inter-Agency Committee. As Crosby listened to the re quests of the various agencies lor funds with which to operate in the biennium beginning next July 1, he asked questions re veaiing his ambition to effect one cf his major campaign is sues, the reorganization of the administrative side of state gov ernment. And he found storm signals flying. His first experience with a department head must have been disappointing. Crosby, throughout his long campaign, , hammered away at how "silly ting a lukewarm reception at the Statehouse, too. State En gineer Harold Aitken can't see why the Safety Patrol should be taken away from his non-political office and handed to the poli tical attorney general's office as Crnsbv has .suptrpsf pri AnH Tax Commissioner Philip K.

Reason the carvai' i; not es. inese diiiiculties would in clude the separation of the en forcement function of such ag encies as the Liquor Commission from their tax-collecting func tions. If Crosby is successful in bringing about the changes he proposes, he will be considerably ahead of a legislative committee which tried in the 1951 session and failed miserably. a The Nebraska Farm Bureau Federation has long been recog nized as a powerful political in lluence in Nebraska. Any doubt was removed in 1950 when the speaking, nobody Ls really elect ed until the Legislature goes through the necessary motions and that's all they are in January mained on the sandbar for five hours, exposed to the beating storm, and when he finally was reached he was nearly frozen to death. The editor wrote: '"Taking into consideration the furious storm, the intense cold, and condition of the river, we regard the escape ... as a nar row one." The bad weather hung on. . . , , . , - - i hSAt. kMllu.it lilt. 1,11 L it is to have inspectors from to reueal the gas tax and reeis- ine ueparimem oi Agriculture t Nation fee increases voted by $ik! i'y2 km 1 I I -I 1 R I r a w h: es and restaurants. "That," he said, "should be the job of the Health Department." But Acting State Health Dir ector Dr. E. A. Rogers didn't ag ree. He told the governor -to-be that there is ' no public health significance" in the inspection of hotels and rooming houses. That function could very well I remain in the hands of the De i partment of Agriculture and In spection, he indicated. Then how about restaurants, urged Crosby, surely they are within the scope of the Health Department. Most certainly, Dr Rogers agreed. But the Health Department's inspection should be of the educational type, en couraging better operating me- j thods, whereas the Ag Dnart- : ment now inspects primarily to collect license fees. The Health j Department, he hinted, is not easer to get into the license fee i collecting field. !
