Powell, Cass county in terviewer of the Nebraska State Employment- Service; ' announc ed this week. The place will be Room 301, court, house. Hiring Days are occasions when farmers, who need farm hands, and farm hands seeking jobs have opportunities to dis cuss individually farm job open ings and qualifications and to hire or hire out. Hiring Days assist employers and job seekers to work out mutually satisfactory arrange ments as to wages, housing, working conditions, commodi ties and other factors common to hiring. : Another purpose is to save time and travel for farmers and workers in providing a wider opportunity to sample the job and applicant situation. "This type of hiring plan has been used satisfactorily at other Nebraska points," Powell said. "We hope to have a good bal ance between the numbers of employers and job seekers pres ent to ensure success of the local Hiring Day." gg $ f , . -xr- l4 - - '--41": , TUNED TO THE SUN-PilotJ model of a solar radio Is dis-1 played by Pat Lee, in Chicago, cells which transform sunlight into electrical energy to power radio.

Palmyra Hustle Hits Elmwood, Losers 59-46 ELMWOOD The Elmwood high .school Pirates bowed to visiting Palmyra here Tuesday night by a score of 59 to 46.

The Council says the same thing occurs 'on road Ice or glazed snow when it is warmed by a daytime rise in temperature, a brief period of sunshine, or heavy traffic. Such unexpected changes in the slipperiness of ice is the basic cause of many winter accidents, the Council believes. Council tests show this rela tionship of temperature and traction : at 20 ni.p.h. a car with regular tires skidded 114 feet at zero degrees, 155 feetVi at 10 degrees, 195 feet at 20 degrees, and a whopping 235 feet at 30 degrees (just belov freezing). Reinforced tire chains stopped the test cars in 77 feet on glare ice, and this distance was not affected by changes in temper ature. Temperature is most impor tant whether you live in the northern or southern edge of the snow belt, according to the Council. While drivers in the north have to contend with more snow, they also get lower tem peratures and consequently bet ter traction. Drivers on the southern edge of the snow belt meet more changeable cond tions with intermittent freezing and thawing. Wherever you live, the Coun cil urges drivers to stay aware of the changing characteristics of ice. Check the "feel" of the road at every safe opportunity and adjust your speed accordingly.

Well, there is, and knowing it may save your life, the National Safety Council pointed out to day. Warm ice is a lot more slip pery than cold ice, and greatly icreases the hazards of winter driving unless you are using re inforced tire chains, the Council has found in actual skid tests on frozen lakes.
