Capitol Afews LINCOLN As the new State Highway Advisory Commission held its first meeting here this week, members found out that their job of "planning the state highway system" covered a lot of ground. For one thing, there are al ready 9,660 miles on the state highway system. And the catch is that even with the new reve nues provided by the 1953 Legis lature, it will take nine years before . all the roads that the State Highway Department con sidered "dangerously" sub-par can be improved. Then Legislatures through the years have passed bills estab lishing statutory routes which never got built. There are 1,865 miles of these routes scattered in 72 places all over the state. A" good reason for not building these is s that the Department has been saddled with other types s of roads through the years. ' " 7 For example, the Legislature once passed a law authorizing the Department to build a con necting state highway to the following kinds of cities and vil lages: - Any incorporated city or vil lage within two miles of a state highway. : V Any village with a . population of at least 50 and a post office if within three miles of a state highway. Any incorporated village not served by a railroad if - within six miies of a state highway. ; Additions Galore Another "gimmick" which ad ded roads to the Department's responsibility and seldom with any increase in revenue was a law which said the state should maintain any roads built in part by federal funds. So counties matched federal funds for the improvement of their roads 1 Wednesday Is Double Stamp Day . . ... Yes! You can enjoy EXTRA SAVINGS each Wednes day, with DOUBLE GREEN STAMPS given with each purchase of $1.00 or more. "Your Triendly Drug Store" Dial 6117 which were most expensive to maintain. When they were fin ished, they joyfully turned the roads over to the state to main tain. That didn't stop until the 1949 Legislature changed the law to provide that the state doesn't have to maintain federal aid secondary routes unless state funds are put into their con struction. The Department also had to take over access roads to mili tary installations and plants which it had built for the gov ernment in World War II. In 1926 the 'Department was told to maintain all state high ways within corporate limits of villages of less than 3,400. A year later it became responsible for maintaining these highways in towns of less than 2,500 pop ulation. In 1935 the Department was made responsible for paying half the cost of maintenance for wear and tear on these highways down the streets of towns with populations between 2,500 and 25,000. So the new highway commis sion has tlenty of places it can add to the state highway sys tem if it chooses. The state can take over any federal-aid sec ondary route on which it spends money. Several hundred miles ?f state highway could be built in f "meeting nearDy vmages to the state highway system. And there are those 1,865 miles of statutory road never built. . The catch, of course, is that the commission will have the same trouble finding the money for these projects that the De partment has. Especially when the existing system is getting no younger month by month. , . -. ..... Explosives Hauling A neat bit of "toss the hot po tato" was exhibited at the State house when Gov. Robert Crosby called a meeting to discuss the problem of hauling explosives. The truckers were there to prove they were victims of "hysteria" arising from the fire-caused ex plosion of an ammunition truck west of Omaha. The represent- atives of the army and the de partment of defense were there to see that the hauling of these essential materials wasn't un duly hampered. Omaha safety officials were there trying to get action on all dangerous types of hauling, city officials were there to get backing for pro posed ordinances to either ban or slow down the trucks. Con spicuously absent were the rail roads who would stand to gain the most if ammunition trucks were banned from the highways. Nothing much happened in the way of constructive contu sions. Everybody agreed that explosives are dangerous. Most j ff agreed that a country enerwedis in preparing for defense against . 0 war has to have these danger- ! y ous thines around. The trucker" 1 1 worked hard, to get government " witnesses to -endorse a recent statement by James K. Knudson, administrator of the Defense Transportation Administration, that "the truck record is as safe as any other." And it was ob vious that Gov. Crosby wasn't going to get himself involved in the bitter dispute any more than necessary. : " For observers it was ah inter esting reversal of a scene weeks before when operators of motels, restaurants, and service stations had come in to plead with Cros by and State Engineer L. Nj Ress that there be no planning of bypasses which would take high ways out of their towns. But at the ammunition, hearing the cry. from the cities was to bar the trucks which have the same legal rights to the highways as any other motor vehicle from traveling through the centers of the towns and possibly, blowing them to kingdom come with ex plosives. A neat example of the "eat our cake and have It too" theory in the opinion of some observers.

This popular dish can be cooked over an open fire out of doors or broiled in the oven at home. For fall picnics, it is an excellent variation. To make "Beef Kabobs on Skewers", cut beef steak into iy2 inch cubes. Alternate cubes on the skewers with thin slices of raw onion, bacon, firm to- matoes, mushrooms, or green peppers. Before broiling or roasting over the open fire, roll the the filled skewers in melted butter or margarine. Allow about 18 minutes for minutes for broiling beef ka bobs. rare, up to 25 minutes for well done. Whether broiling or roasting, turn them freqeutly so they will cook evenly on all sides.
