4 HI PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA, SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL PAGE FOUR Thursday, August 26, 1954 Cardinals Slate Tryout Gamp at Omaha Next Week ST. LOUIS, Mo. (Special) ""Everyone in the Cardinal or ganization will be watching the results of the Omaha, Nebr., try out camp with much interest," "Joe Mathes, Cardinal minor league director and chief scout, said today. "There is no doubt that many of the big league stars of tomor row are being discovered in the trial camps of today," Mathes stated. "Just to mention several, Wilmer 'Vinegar Bend' Mizell, Del Rice, Al Schoendienst and Harvey Haddix are Cardinal stars who won their chance to play professional baseball by at tending a Red Bird tryout camp." Sessions will be held Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, August 30, 31 and September 1, in Oma ha Stadium, home of the West ern League Omaha Cardinals. The workouts are open to any and all players between 17 and 23. No charge or fee of any kind is required for attendance. Late as Usual Is Cry as Mike Bajeck Joins Up Rounding up the 24 retired BREX employees attending the annual picnic Sunday was quite a job. But by continually touring the crowd of 300, most were uncov ered without too much trouble. Then came the cry, "one more"' and Mike Bajeck was ushered from amid the throng, too late to join his retired mates for the "family picture." Mike is shown here " though being directed to the scene by George Jaeger, superintendent of the shops. Mr. Bajeck wasn't al ways late for work, but he's now earned that distinction. .

L. A. Behrends. All pupils living in a rural school district planning to at tend any high school under the free high school tuition law, must present such certificates when enrolling for the 1954-55 term, Behrends explained. Duo! Program Of Vaccination Recommended A dual vaccination . program was recommended today by the American Foundation for Ani mal Health as a defense against two of the most wide-spread dog diseases, distemper and infec tious hepatitis. Recent studies show that both may occur simultaneously in the dog, with only one being de tected because of the similarity of symptoms. Dual infections produce a much higher mortal ity rate than cases where only one of the diseases is present, according to the Foundation. Vaccination of pups at wean ing age was also recommended to prevent encephalitis, or sleeping sickness, which has been reported with increasing freqency as a development Of the distemper complex. The Foundation warned against considering such-immunization programs as providing permanent protection. Dogs leading a semi-secluded life need booster inoculations at regular intervals. Those in heavily pop ulated areas with free access to streets usually experience con stant exposure to virulent virus which may have the same ef fect as a booster. Inoculating brood dogs a few weeks before breeding is good Dractice. said the Foundation. immunizing antibodies are pass ed along in the milk to protect puppies during their critical early days.

Grid Pace Fast From Start For 52 Candidates at PHS Hundreds of pounds of choice Plattsmouth beef, the growth of the past summer, is scattered about Memorial Athletic Field. Those pounds of beef are the amounts sweated off some 52 grid candidates who reported to Grid Mentor Ken Schroeder for the opening of pre-school foot ball practice Monday. Schroeder wasted little time in establishing his conditioning program. Blocking, tackling, running, ball carrying were tos sed in with the iirsc round of calisthenics, and the fat began ; to melt away Assisted by Cecil McKnight and John Adkins, Schroeder has maintained morning and after noon sessions through the first four days of this week, since the start of prep grid dnlis. He'll continue the double sessions un til school officially opens next week, when after school practice sessions will start. The fifty-five candidates, in cluding a dozen letter winners, were learning the fundamen tals of football under the Schroeder system. Blocking and tackling have been emphasized as the three-man coaching staff seeks to ready a team for a Sep tember 10 opener at Auburn. Candidates reporting for drills this week are: Pfc. Kritenbrink With 3rd Division On Korean Duty Pfc. James B. Kritenbrink, son of Mr. and Mrs. Guy Kriten brink, Louisville, Nebr., is serv ing in Korea with the 3rd In fantry Division. The "Rock of the Marne" di vision, which saw bitter fighting in the Iron Triangle and at Out post Harry, is now training as part of the U. S. security force on the peninsula. Kritenbrink, a personnel man agement specialist in the 3rd Anti-Aircraft Artillery Battalion, entered the Army in April 1953 and arrived in Korea last Janu ary.

Aside from a few bumps and bruises, only one casualty had resulted and that was. separate from early workouts. Freshman Bob Beverage missed drills after the Tuesday morning session when he severely cut his wrist. Attempting to open a north window in the shower room, Bev erage ran his hand through the glass. Eight stitches were taken to control the injury. Rqdar Great ; m Value to State Safety Patrol Radar, as a device for speed law enforcement, has been found to be of great value to the safety patrol in its enforce ment activities this summer, Colonel C. J. Sanders reported. While it has enabled the officers to check speed violations, it has saved wear on patrol cars and has done away with much of the danger to officers in clock ing speeders. "Many drivers are under cer tain misconceptions which well might be clarified,' Colonel San ders said. "Weather has no ef fect on radar, nor does dark ness. Grounding devices, drag ging chains, ball bearings in hub caps and tin foil attached to cars don't interfere in the slightest with radar. In fact, the use of such dodges could be evi dence of intent to violate the law." "The radar units can be ex pected anywhere on our high ways. It is probable that most violators will keep a sharp look out, for cars parked by the road side and be prepared for quick deceleration. The best means of beating radar that we know of," said Colonel Sanders, is to drive within the Nebraska speed lim its. Drivers who do will find they will get there almost as quickly, and, more important, that they will get there." Virginia, Omaha Officials Here For BREX Picnic I Alexandria, Virginia, and Om aha officials of BREX were group. Also here for the event was J. T. Powell, vice president of the BRC of A from Kansas City. SOUTHEAST ASIAN DEFENSE The State Department has an- nounced that plans are being arranged "through diplomatic I channels in a number of capi tals" for a conference of West ern and Asian nations.

Results in swine and dairy judging look like this: Swine Exhibits SWINE SHOWMANSHIP Purple Dennis Meisinger, Camouflage With Color, Extension Specialist Advises Use the "one-color look" to camouflage shapes and sizes of your rooms .Magdene Mister, facf t IT ?tAi vitv nf kZ "aJ at the university ol Ne - b SSffi5Me can be created 1 Si MnniS ! says the specialist. It helps too to simplify colors of big things. For example, a bed can be made to appear smaller by using a spread which matches the car pet or walls. If your problem is odd size, oddly shaped windows or a big clumsy chair, solve it with drap eries or slip covers that blend with the walls. Sometimes a room tends to look small, and the wall spaces look inadequate simply because the woodwork is too obvious. If you want the w'l odwortj unnoticed, paint it the same color as the wall. For small rooms use light col ored paint or a small all-over patterned wallpaper to give it a more spacious appearance. Darker, bolder, brighter .colors and patterns work out nicely in large rooms. They are not only in scale wth the size of the room, but they tend to make it look less like an auditorium. For slanted ceilings or dorme; windows use plain or small all-: over designs. Avoid plaids andj stripes. The color cna be extend ed over the ceiling. For a long! narrow, room, use a figured pa per or contrasting color at the i narrow end. This will, make the i room appear shorter and wderi. ! Color can achieve many aesir able effects to mjake a room pleasing to the eye. Short of Pasture, Seed Rye Now, Expert Advises Farmers short of pasture and winter feed should consider seeding for late fall and early spring supplementary pasture, says Dr. Paul Q. Guyer, exten sion animal husbandman, at the College of Agriculture. Even though rains in Central and Eastern Nebraska have been good the past two weeks, close ly grazed pastures will have a low carrying capacity for the rest of the grazing season and root reserves will be too small for maximum early growth next ypring. Under normal weather condi tions rye pastures should fur nish grazing from Sept. 10-15 through early November if it is seeded soon preferably before August 20 and not later than Sept. 1. The seeding rate should be heavier than when seeded for grain. The recommended rate of seeding is Wz to 2 bushels per acre. Over grazing should be avoid ed by limiting the number of animals grazed or by removing the animals when the pasture is grazed down to a height of 3 to 4 inches. As to the variety of seed to albo rye is superior to common rye for pasture and if milk cows are grazed it tenas to proauce less off flavor ia the milk.
