"Our nationa.' defense is stronger and tougher today than at any time since World War II in spite of the fact the Con gress has .seen fit to reduce mil itary appropriations both in 1953 and 1954." Hruska said. "Not only is the Nation well prepared toaay but it is con tinuing to build up its military strength." Hruska is a member of the House Armed Services Appropii ations Sub-Committee, which plays a major lcle in deciding how much should be spent for defense needs 'In approving any appropria- t tion the Sub-Committee is fore- I of atomic furnace for the gen ed to consider two importanat eration of cheap electric power. factors," the Congessman said. "We had to provide the Army, Navy and Air Force with ample ! funds to insure a strong, ade- i quate national defense. At the : same time, however, we naa to keep the dollar co.it within the taxpayers limit. In his last year in office for mer President Truman asked Congress to approve a $41 bil lion deienrse budget for 1953. Congress h.owever, reduced his figure o $34 billion and for the present fiscal year cut the request still further to $29.3 bil lion. Hruska pointed out that this $29.3 billion is added to $52.5 billion appropriated by previous Congresses but not spent. This brings the total defense funds available fcr expenditure to i $81.8 billion. j "When you consider that Ne ' braska's state budget totals Hibcut $33 million, simple arith metic shows that the $81.8 bil I lion set aside for 1954 defense , requirements would be enough to operate the state for a thou sand years," Hruska explained.

When you hear the term "tagged" you automaticallv think of baseball j or tne game tne Kids play out m j tne cacKyara, dul never iisn- ing. Yet, many Nebraska fish ermen will start to khink of tags and fishing if they catch one of the 3000 tagged catfish released this year by the Ne braska Game, Forestation and Parks Commission. These fish have had a small metal tag attached to their tails with a serial number engraved on it. Also, "Nebr. Notify Game Comm.'" is on the tag. The pur pose of tagging the fish is to learn more about the move ments of stocked catfish, in order to improve stocking tech niques. Fishermen who catch one of these tagged fish are asked to let the Game Commission know the serial number, size and weight of the fish, the exact lo cation and the date of the catch. Please forward this in formation to the Nebraska Game, Forestation and Parks coin. "STANDINGDEER" DED. . CHEROKEE, N. C.

The early isettlers raj the Loud Valley lived in con stant fear of Indian attacks and there were just enough de predations to give that fear meaning. Such incidents as did occur seem to have been largely the result of efforts on the part of wandering bands of Indians to loot the homes and farms of the early settlers. The settlers demanded pro tection against the Indians, and in response to that demand the War Department authorized the construction of Fort Hartsuf f, in wrhat later became Valley Coun ty, in 1874. The. Fort not only served to give the settlers a feeling of security against the ' "'"'luo, vuiionunuu Hl stricken pioneers.
