EDITORIALS The February Sky This is a Rood month to study the sky and the stars because the clarity of winter nights, even though it is cold, gives the stars a brilliance likening them, to dia monds. If you can stand the weather, then, February is one of the best months to practice your amateur astronomy. The Indians called February the mon th of the Hunger Moon because it was the month in which they had most trouble pro viding food for their families. Fish were buried under thick ice, the ground was frozen hard, digging was difficult, dried berries and greens were now almost non existent. In addition, bears were in hib ernation and it was difficult to find enough game. Since you do not have to obtain your food like the Indians, you might very well use February as a month to learn about the sky and the stars. Begin by finding the familiar Uig Dipper. The Big Dipper also goes by other names, such as (treat Dear, Ursa Major, Plough, and Charles's Wain. Notice the two outer stars of the bowl, which are known as the Pointers. They al ways point to the North Star, which is also known as Polaris. Tonight, if you search the sky, you will find this to be true. You will also no tice that the handle of the Dipper is com posed of three stars and that very near the central star is another star, which is much smaller. Many people do not see this star, and it must be observed on a clear night, with the naked eye. The name of this little star is Alcor and the middle-handle star is Mizar. These two stars were known to the Arabs as the Horse and Kider. They form a double star which was the first double star to be discovered (1850). The open part of the Dipper's bowl points into the open part of the bowl of the Little Dipper con stellation, the end of the handle of the Little Dipper. As you are observing the sky, and familiarizing yourself with the familiar Dig Dipper, or Little Dipper, or North Star, remember that if these stars had ceased to exist eighty or ninety years ago, you would still be seeing them, since their light beams would be traveling to the earth: Knowing that light travels at terri fic speed, one can well imagine what he is seeing, and the great distance he is in vestigating, in studying the sky.

By carrier in Plattsmouth, 25 cents for two weeks 'Guard' Head Warns about Over-Emphasis on Missiles A warning that an over-emphasis on rocket and missile warfare and neglect of ground forces, including our reserve components, could endanger na tional defen.se, has been sounded by Maj. General Warren C. Wood commander of the 34th Infan try Division of the Lowa-Ne-braska National Guard. "I note with concern," Gen. Wood declared, "that a number of military experts have ques tioned that part of the Presi dent's budget for the next year which anticipates further re ductions in the Army. "The active Army will be cut another 30.000 to a strength of 870,000 and the number of di visions will aeain be reduced, this time by one to leave the Army with only 14 divisions. "A sound military policy, one to which our military leaders long have subscribed, is to in crease reserve forces as we re duce our active forces. But this sound concept apparently is be ing scrapped. "The Armv National Guard, the country's largest and most combat ready reserve organi zation will be forced in Fiscal Year 1059 to slash its strength by another 40,000. This will mean a cut of about 75,000 in the Na tional Guard within less than two years. The strength of the Army National Guard in May 1!)j7 was 435,000. Its present PHONE 241 strength is 400,000. Budgeted strength for the coming Fiscal Year is 360,000. "As military authorities and many members of the Congress have pointed out, this cut in active and reserve ground for ces reduces the country's capa bility to cope with so called 'brush fire' or 'limited' wars. We are building a defense or ganization designed to fight only one kind of war: all-out nuclear war. The wisdom of this is ques tionable. "While the Soviet Union main tains its 175 Army divisions, this country Is planning to cut its active Army divisions to 14 and reportedly is planning to cut National Guard divisions to 21 or 22 from its present total of 27. "There is no question that this country must push its programs for development of nuclear wea pons, rockets and missiles, but we should not do this at the expense of our existing forces. "Certainly, we should continue to maintain a strong National Guard. Not only is it the coun try's strongest and most ready force, but its our best buy for the defense dollar, costing about one-seventh as much to support a soldier in the Guard as in the regular establishment." Call Your News And Social Items to 241 Howard's Homespun Good advice : Lowers should never bet. Wars are not as deadly as automo biles. Nature is grand so long as men and women leave her alone. Maybe the reason advice is so cheap is because there is so much of it. Ready cash, it seems, is able to out do magicians in a disappearing act. if Meals would be better if there were fewer recipes and more home cooking. Down Memory Lane )f YEARS ACO JmJ Thirty farmers and their wives met at the Mynard community building to dis cuss the possibility of organizing a co operative cold storage locker to serve the needs of the communities in this part of Cass county. A committee of E. H. Spang ler, Roy O. Cole and County Agent D. D. Wainscott had been investigating the mat ter and gave a report of the various places contacted and found an enthusiatic res ponse. The meeting finally decided that a plant at Plattsmouth would serve a larger number in this section Some seventy truckers of Cass county as well as other in terested parties gathered at the district court room to discuss the new law cover ing rates and regulations. The rate has been increased in this city from 25c to 40c and this rate must be followed by those doing trucking The farm home of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Stamp south of this city had a close call from being destroyed by fire that originated from a chimney burn ing out. Mrs. Stamp had sent out an alarm to neighbors as Mr. Stamp was bedfast in his room on the second floor of the house. On her return she had gone to the room and found the chimney stop had fallen out, burning soot scattered around the room and over the bed. Mr. Stamp was re moved to the first floor of the house by neighbors and they assisted by Louis Loh nes and Carl Ofe of the fire department from this city had the blaze soon under control Through the initiative of A. A. McReynolds, W. A. Ost and County Com missioner Elmer Hallstrom a taxpayers meeting was held at Nehawka. Speakers called upon were W. A. Ost, Senator fred Carsten, former Senator W. B. Banning, R. C. Pollard and A. A. McReynolds. The meeting prepared resolutions to present to the board of county commissioners and the sheriff. Of YEARS ACO 0J The marriage of Miss Margaret Ma haffey, one of the popular members of the local teaching force in the Plattsmouth schools and Stuart Chase of this city, oc curred at the home of the bride's parents in Omaha.

II. Wescott was named as chairman and Mrs. F. R. Gobelman as secretary Missouri river fishermen rejoiced over a decision at Lincoln by Judge Wheeler of the district court that the State of Nebraska had no right to interfering with fishermen in Miss ouri river waters using seins, traps and nets in that stream. Soil Should Be Tested Now for Chemical Needs Now is the time to get soil samples tested to find out wheth er lime and fertilizers are need ed for spring-planted crops. Liming where necessary is es pecially valuable for legume crops such as alfalfa and the clovers, states M. D. Weldon, Extension agronomist at the University of Nebraska. Nebraska agronomists list these six benefits from liming that can mean greater profits from crop production: 1. Liming helps stretch fer tilizer dollars by making fer tilizers more effective and get ting bigger crop increases from the same amount of fertilizer. 2. Lime furnishes calcium and magnesium for plant growth. 3. Lime promotes the growth of beneficial bacteria, molds, and other organisms in the soil. 4. Liming helps improve tilth by promoting granular soil struc ture. This means better intake of water, less runoff and eros ion, and more moisture for the crop. 5. Liming makes most crops more vigorous, better able to compete with weeds, insect pests and diseases. 6. Liming ensures a good stand and growth of alfalfa and clo vers, better forage yield and feed value, and more effective soil improvement from these crops.

Capitol News By MELVIN PAUL Statehouse Correspondent The Nebraska Press Association LINCOLN Nebraska Is under going a change in transportation much akin to the switch from the horse and buddy, and the trend Is showine up in records on file in the Capitol. Records show an increasing number of requests for curtail ment of railroad operations, des pite a 12 per cent increase In rates approved last yaar, and larger number of mergers of small bus lines. Trucks showed net profits down in 1957, and 14 bus lines want a boost in express rates. The only flourishing segment of the transportation industry ap peared to be the airlines, most of which had sizeable gains in freight and passenger totals In 1957. Generally, statehouse observ ers said, the records show a trend to private automobiles and airlines. If Nebraska is authorized to inaugurate a system of local air line service the switch from the railroads and trucks probably will be much greater. In a major transportation de cision, the State Railway Com mission permitted the Chicago & Northwestern Railway to drop its last two passenger trains on the 445-mile Omaha to Chadron run. In its order, the commission said under existing conditions on the line the railroad "can no longer compete successfully with other forms of transporta tion and stay in the transporta tion business. The freight operation, however would remain intact on the run The commission order said: "It cannot be disputed that the con- venience of the automobile, the lack of traffic potential and pop ulation and the accessibility of hard-surfaced roads are the chief reasons for the decline in pass enger traffic (on the line)." The commission said the line is losing a quarter of a million dollars yearly in operating the two passenger trains. It made the removal order effective March 15. Board of Control The State Board of Control got into some familiar trouble over complaints against operation of the State School for the Deaf at Omaha. The trouble involved public re lations. Robert Reilly, of Omaha, president of the Association in the Interest of the Deaf, sever ly criticized operations at the school. When capitol newsmen attemp ted to get comment from Mrs. Catherine Martin, chairman of the board, she declined to see them. A dav later, she came up with a "no comment" on every thing except that a report was in the making. Presented to the governor, the report praised general con Mrs. Emma Nutzman visited Delbert Munn at Rest Haven in Weeping Water Thursday. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Hobsch eidt and sons, Union, were guests Sunday evening of the John Tanner's and Mrs. Henry Swar tz. Mr. and Mrs. Richard Stone and sons and Mrs. R. B. Stone were dinner guests Sunday of the Chester Stones. Mr. and Mrs. Melvin Sturm left Thursday to spend the week end with the Jim Sturm family at Sioux City, Iowa. Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Roberts and daughters of Omaha were guests for the day Saturday of the Earl Noltes. Mr. and Mrs. F. O. Sand cal led on Mrs. O. D. Straub and Mr. and Mrs. Otto Straub Sun day.

THE PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA, SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL PAGE TWO Section B Thursday, February 20, 1958 ditions at the school, subject of ft study also In 1953. Oil and Gas State Geologist Eugene Reed has painted a glowing picture of possible expansion of oil ex ploration activities in Nebraska. "We certainly believe there are other potential areas" than now being worked, Reed told a Legislative Council committee, meeting in the Capitol. The committee met to gather information on an oil and natur al gas conservation bill, which has been killed in the past two sessions of the legislature. Reed said one area with a po tential is further north in the Panhandle section of Nebraska. He said there is some develop ment further to the southeast in Dundy, Hitchcock and Red Willow counties, as well as some production in Harlan county. Small Schools The State Board of Education March 4 will tangle with one of the most delicate problems in education in Nebraska the plight of the small school. Twenty-seven have been re commended for non-approval by the board, which means the dis tricts In which they are located could not collect from the free high school tuition levy paid by residents of districts not hav ing an approved or accredited high school to educate rural pu pils. State Education Commissioner F. B. Decker frankly admits that with many schools up for ac tion, "we probably will be sued." But, he added, he would wel come such a move. Such a suit would determine whether the State Board of Edu cation can set standards for high schools. Decker said the state has a hand in establishment of stan dards for most other things from weeds to milk and it makes sense to him to have the same power for schools. Decker said it is becoming more difficult for small schools to operate financially and be cause of declining enrollments. When a school loses its ap proved status, the result usually is that it must close because citizens cannot bear the finan cial burden of keeping it open. Not only must they find rev enue to replace that gained from the free high school levy, they must begin paying the levy. Long Term Care A development of note on the hospital front has been pinpoint ed by Vern Pangborn, director of the hospital division of the State Health Department. Pangborn said there is Increas ing interest in Nebraska com munities to providing long-term care facilities. These hospitals would care for the chronically ill and the aged. Sidney and Fremont, Pang born said, provided the spark in developing interest in the long term patient projects out in the state. He said the increased in terest probably will result in a dollar hike in hospital construc tion in Nebraska. Jet Flight Apology Berlin The United States has apologized to the Soviet Union because a United States Air Force jet made an accidental flight over East German terri tory recently. A United States mission spokeman said the a pology had been made in an oral exchange between the Soviet and United States members of the Air Safety Center, the big-four body that controls air traffic j to Berlin.
