J" 1 m m r"Wp' EDITORIALS Howard's Homespun Too Many Suicides We read of .suicides in the papers, but unless they .strike close to home, we do not give them much thought, yet approximate ly 22,000 people commit suicide in the United States each year, almost exactly the number of American soldiers killed in . Korea in three years of war. In 195G there were 170 suicides in Nebraska, more than three times as many as the number of deaths from tuberculosis, and far more than died from all of the other communi cable diseases combined. Deaths from sui cide were almost 26 times as many as those from polio. What is back of this high death rate from suicide ? Dr. Richard A. Kern of Temple Uni versity, Philadelphia, estimates that ap proximately 85 per cent of suicide victims have mental disturbances and nothing else. Kven in the 15 per cent that have some organic disease, he feels that the mental factor enters in, for it is not so often be cause of cancer, for example, but because of the fear that indigestion or some other discomfort is cancer, that a person may commit suicide. One of the large life insurance com panies lists ill health as the leading cause of suicide, with 40 per cent in males and 20 per cent in females, and it says that in their suicide attempts males are success ful about 50 per cent of the time and fe- males 25 per cent. Statistics indicate that suicides are more common among the wealthy than the . poor, and business leaders and excutives are more likely to take their own lives than those of the lower classes. Rates seem to run higher in big cities. An attempted suicide should challen ge a physician rather than being consider ed as a nuisance, since the patient obviou sly needs help of some sort. Depressed per sons, physically ill, and those who for some reason have lost interest in living are a mong the suicide types. Fear, worry, an xiety, and tension all take their toll in suicide.

Victor An derson. The governor said if re-elected he will ask the 1959 Legislat ure to start building up a fund for improving Nebraska's state parks. A "definite program is needed," the governor added, "and I'm going to lay it before the Legislature." Past procedure, he comment ed, has been to hand out mon ey for park development in a "dib" and "dab" fashion. The governor indicated the program he has in mind will be In the vicinity of $300,000 to $300,000 per year. In a separate statement, the governor took up the matter of the national guard and reports circulating in Washington about it. The governor said there are reports from the capital of the nation that indicate a reduction in national guardsmen and units is being considered. He assert ed that he is "disturbed" not on ly by the possible loss of nation al guard units in Nebraska, but by the fact a reduction in the overall program would mean less opportunity for young Ne braskans for part-time military training. Nebraska has units of the guard in 30 communities. Dras tic cuts would not onlv affect tlie.se communities, the govern or said, but the nation's defense as well. "I see no merit in cutting bark ;m existing and efficient milit ary force at a time when our PHONE 241 military position is obviously in a critical state," the governor sad. There is more than $4 million invested in armories in Nebras ka alone, the chief executive said. Interstate Heating State officials got a surprise at a hearing in Lincoln for the stretch of the Interstate High way between Gretna, through the edge of Lincoln and then to Pleasant Dale. Despite a crowd of about 150 persons, no one opposed plans or routing for the super highway. A check of individuals in the crowd showed they were at the hearing, required by feder al law, to get information, espec ially on what the state would pay for the land required for the right-of-way. ' There was no mention of pri ces for acquiring the land. This part of the gigantic project has i not yet been undertaken. The hearing was held by the Advisory State Highway Com mission, whose members- had fully expected a long argument from landowners. Owen Boyles, secretary of the commission, said the hearing was the first on the Interstate that failed to j produce protests. State Engineer L. N. Ress likened construction of the route to the "coming of the railroads at the turn of the century '. ' He said the four-lane highway will have a tremendous Impact upon the economy of Lincoln, the state and the nation. . Ress told the crowd cost of j the 487-mile route will be 283 1 million, or less than $600,000 per mile. A portion of the highway is under eonst ruction in the Omaha vicinity. Ress expects traffic to use the Omaha to Lincoln seg ment some time in 1960. A good joke is heard far and wide for many years. People would be healtheir if they had a mind for it.

That is the matter of financ ing of motor vehicles. Bedford said one of the prob lems of the committee is persons who have been victim ized by finance firms are reluc tant to allow the committee to use their cases. But, the Geneva lawmaker said, there will be no names us ed. He said it is important that his committee be able to see contracts involving shady deal ings in order to come up with constructive legislation that is neither unfair to citizens or fi nance companies. "A half dozen or so stinkers give the whole financial struct ure a bad name." Bedford said, "and it isn't fair to the hon est and respectable firms." Fair Board The State Fair Board has siz ed up, in an annual statement, status of the annual exposition which attracts thousands of Ne braskans. Ed Schultz, board secretary, recommended no major constr uction be planned this fall or in the spring or summer of 1959.

After the 1957 exposition, the board authorized rebuilding ot the race rack from a half mile to five eighths of a mile, moving of the barns, and construction of new jockey quarters and a new race horse barn. All this work is expected to be clone before the 1958 expos ition opens. The fair board secretary said Countdown ' Vv-;: ; HOY ' n.

Glenn Cunningham Now that some of the hysteria over Sputnik is receding, I would like to call attention to a re cent statement by Atomic Ener gy Commission Chairman Lewis L. Strauss. Strauss reported that the U. S. is "far ahead in near ly all fields of technical and scientific accomplishments" and "well ahead" of other nations in weapons and peaceful develop ment of the atom. Strauss added that "there is no place in our thinking for pes simism, gloom, despair. A year from now, if the public remem bers, It will be heartily asham ed." I am happy to give my full support to a drive by the Citi zens' Committee for the Hoover Report. A "climax drive" now underway is aimed at action on five major legislative goals: mo dernized federal budgeting, uni fied procurement of common use defense supplies, reduction of needless federal competition with business, a career administ rator system and federal medi cal service changes. In five years living costs in the U. S. have risen 6.3 per cent. In England they are up 18 per cent, Brazil 107 per cent and Bolivia 2,276 per cent. I am very pleased that Ike is personally directing the Penta gon shakeup. I only hope that it doesn't result in any new of fices to help straighten things out. Too many reorganizations end up with more specialists a round to direct the old specialists who have become bogged down in the even older system. You never know where the next request for federal tax money Is going to come from. Sad-faced circus clown Emmett Kelly has called for federal aid to the circus to save that bit of Americana from oblivion.

Don't Blame Dark Yolk on Milo Too much milo has been a problem all year but feeding it to your poultry laying flock is not causing some egg yolks to have a dark greenish color. The dark yolk problem is real ly one of management and has nothing to do with the amount of milo in the laying flock ra ion according to John Skinner, Extension poultry husbandman at the University of Nebraska. "The dark color found in the yolks of some eggs is the result of a build up of ammonia in a laying house when it has been closed for some time," Skinner said. "The easiest way to correct this situation is to gather the eggs an extra time or two each day," he reports. Excessive feeding of good qua lity milo actually may cause a slight lightening of the color of the egg yolk, Skinner said.
