They see a kaleidoscope of sights and sounds in an at mosphere which contributes little to an understanding of America. The managers of the exchange are more concerned with giving the visitor a show rather than an education. Vis itors come with a Hollywood idea of the United States and they return home confirmed in the Hollywood conclusion since they are entertained in the wealthiest homes and are tour ed in air-conditioned Cadillacs. They are given little or no op portunity to become acquainted with John American, his kids and his typical family. Friendship and understand ing cannot cross oceans unless people know people, understand ing and appreciating one anoth er's weaknesses and strengths, appreciating each other as friends. This is just as true of making friends in Europe and Asia as it is in making friends in Nebraska. Most U. S. personnel ex changes do not make friends. They confirm visitors in , the Hollywood idea that all Amer icans are millionaires, with Cad illacs and fur coats and a pat ronizing attitude. They create an ideal setting for confirma tion of communistic propogan da. A few exchange operations such as the IFYE of the 4-H clubs, the young farmer trainees of the American Farm Bureau and the Grange rural teenager project create a few thou sand real friends for the United States because these youths live with typical American families and know them as good friends. These youth learn that . Holly: wood , does not represent typical America.

Store them in a cool, airy place. Other vegetables should be trimmed and washed (but not soaked) and stored in the crisp ing pan or a moisture proof food wrapper in the refrigerator.

Omaha re ported 5.20 inches, the great est reported, and " Plattsmouth a trace, the least reported in the month, the Weather Bureau at Lincoln 'says in a preliminary climatic survey for July. Total rainfall was from 2 to 4 inches over much of the area from the lower Platte Valley northward, locally along the central portion of the southern border, and the western por tion of the Sandhills.

Many stations receiv ed less than an inch of rain during the entire month- July was hot and dry. Wind movement was less than norm al, and humidity was rather high, resulting in not much more than normal evaporation. The month was not ' quite so warm or dry as July 1954, for the state as a whole, but it was the warmest July since 1936 ov er much of the southwest- Average temperatures ranged from more than 4 degrees above normal over the southeast. The last two days of the month were the hottest over most of the state. Lowest temperatures oc curred on the 1st. 16th, or 17th in the northwest to 64 degrees at Falls City, in the southeast ern corner of the state. Hot dry weather caused the corn to deteriorate steadily. In the drier sections much was burned beyond the possibility of recovery, and some will not even make good fodder. This crop fared a little better in the areas favored by two inches or more of rain, but practically all the unirrigated corn was need ing moisture by the close of the month. The hot weather caused a heavy demand for ir rigation water, and many farm ers had difficulty in supplying adequate water to the plants. The dry weather favored harv esting of wheat and other small grains. Yields of wheat were much better than expected, and averaged the highest of record. They were extremely heavy ov- er much of the southeastern portion of the state and the southeastern Panhandle. Quali ty was generally excellent. Good progress was made in haying, but yields were generally light. Pastures and meadows became very dry. The range cured con siderably earlier than usual. Although local storms were rather numerous, the total damage was much less than us ual. The Panhandle did not have any devastating hail storms which have been com mon during the past several years. The most severe storm was a tornado and hailstorm which extended from the vicin ity of Loup City eastward into Nanco County. Total damage from? this storm is estimated at about $300,000.
