Soybean Growers Reminded to Watch Market Carefully Growers with soybeans under 1957 price support loans were urged today to watch market prices closely during the next few weeks so that their crop amy bring them the best pos sible return. Ivan G. Althouse, chairman, County Agricultural Stabilizat ion and Conservation Committee reminds farmers that frequent ly they can cet a better price for their crop by paying off the Commodity Credit Corporation Loan and selling the soybeans on the market. Since soybean loans mature May 31, however, any redemp tion of beans under warehouse loan must be completed before that date. Soybeans under farm stored loan may be redeemed any time up to the transfer of tilte to CCC which occurs at the time of dumping at a commer cial warehouse or CCC bin on delivery orders issued by this of fice. As of April 30, 1958, Cass County Farmers had 3,440 bush els of 1957-crop soybeans under price-support loans, of which 3, 265 bushels were stored on farms. About 4,550 bushels more were covered by purchase agree ments. Farmers who intend to deliv er purchase-agreement soybeans to CCC also are reminded that they must file their intentions-to-deliver during the month be fore the May 31 maturity date. Price supports were available on 1957-croD soybeans in Cass County at $2.02 a bushel. VALID EXCISE San Pedro, Cal.

A Classified Ad in The Journal costs as little as 50 cents THE PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA, SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL Monday, May 5, 1958 PAOE SEVEN Air Mail Usage Here Up 150 Per Cent in 10 Years Plattsmouth Postmaster Les Niel called attention today to the coming 40th anniversary of Ihe establishment by the United States of the world's first regul arly scheduled air mall service on May 15, 1918. "The start of this air mail service by the United States has teen of tremendous importance in aviation history and in the development of commercial avi ation all over the world," Niel noted . Air mail in this area totals an estimated 50,000 pieces a year, Niel said. Today's volume is approximately 150 per cent above 10 years ago. The first flights which started 40 years ago flew between Wash ington, D. C, and New York City, with a stop at Philadelph ia, required about three hours, about 3 times the time required today. The first air mail plan es used were the "Jennies," famous airplanes of the period. Postage for an early air mail , letter was 24 cents, but it includ ed special delivery. The department was assisted U. S. Gents Lagging in Life Race CHICAGO More males than females are born each year in the United States. Just why, then, are there more women than men later on in life? Why the female superior itynumerically, that is when it comes time to find a husband? "One reason," the National Safety Council says, "is because males 15-24 years of age the age when they're either think ing of getting married someday or counting the days till the big events are being killed in ac cidents almost five times as fast as females." The Council isn't necessarily trying to promote matches be tween the sexes. It is concern ed, though, with keeping people alive. A recent estimate put the U.S. population at about 84.858,000 males and 86,371,000 females about one and a half million more gals than guys. "Men have always died at a faster rate than women, per haps largely because of the more hazardous tasks they undertake and their chance-taking nature," the Council said. "But men, especially those in the 15-24 age group, are dying far, far too rapidly." Statistics for a recent year turned up these facts on the 15 24 age group: 1. Accidents of all types take the lives of nearly five males for every female. 2. More than eight out of 10 persons killed in motor vehicle mishaps are males. 3. Almost seven out of eight persons killed in nonmotor ve hicle accidents are males. 4. The young people are seven times as likely to die in an ac cident than from cancer, the No. 2 cause of deaths to persons in the category. Both sexes are living longer today than their grandparents did, the Council noted, but the so-called weaker sex has widen ed the gap. Thirty years ago, the average white female lived about three years longer than the average white male. Today, she can ex pect to outlive her man by more than six years. One reason women outlive men today, the Council pointed out, is because they have benefited more than men from discoveries and innovations in the medical field. Another reason suggested by ; Man's behavior, and we presume the Council: They have been She does, this new attitude may more careful working and play-: be the weapon to use in the fight ing than men, and technological' to nuell the rising highway death and social changes have madej statistics. As the wild and wool women's work easier and safer. ly roues begin to watch their "Regardless of what stage of! date-ratings slip and the local life you're at it's smart to I beauties are seen in the company keep your men alive," the Coun- j of the more staid motorcar man cil said. 1 ipulators. grounds for a new "Don't let your boyfriend or ; movement toward safety already hubby overdo things, whether! are established, it's a minor repair job around: Women seem to know how to the house or a long vacation take care cf themselves. While drive. ; "Make sure he keeps a light' foot on the accelerator, and that he's not distracted into a col-i lision by annoyances in the ear or angered into an accident by a family spat. ' Keep the men alive, gals because the supply isn't keeping up with the demand." Initially In the development of the first air mall runs by the War Department which furnish ed the first planes and pilots. Later, In August, 1918, the de partment took over operation of the air mail entirely, and air mall pilots and administrative personnel operating the air mail service were postal employes. The department continued to operate and further develop the air mail service until 1926 when transference to common carriers under contiact was started and the transfer was completed in 1927. "This was the beginning of the great air transport system which we know today, and the Post Office Department is proud of the contributions it has made to the rapid development of com mercial aviation, Niel said. He said that he had been advis ed by Postmaster General Arth ur E. Summerfield that the 40th ' air mail anniversary will be marked by many groups over the nation. Niel also said U. S. domestic air mail has shown a tremendous increase volume since its start ., 40 years ago. The early air mail flights car ried between 100 and 200 pounds of mail, and only a few million pieces of air mail were flown annually. The total air mail volume last year was 1,483,291,000 pieces. This is approximately double " the volume of 772,185,000 of only 10 years ago in 1947. - '' "The pioneering of regular scheduled air mail service for civilian use by the United States was a notable achievement of world-wide significance and one of which the nation can be very proud," the postmaster said. THE DRIVER'S SEAT Most gals may like their men tall, dark and handsome. But the man for the girls at Mount Holyoke College in South Had ley, Mass., doesn't necessarily have to fit in that category. A recent noil of 485 Mount Holyoke students unearthed new criteria in making a man elig ible for their dream list. An ov erwhelming majority of the girls want a safe and sane driver who keeps both hands on the wheel and his eyes glued to the road. They want a man who never leans on the horn and one who never takes "one for the road." So, modern-day swains in their drivers' seats who think they can be cads, 0 long as their convertibles are too, are due foL. a shock. If nationwide trends start on ... the East Coast, the majority of mankind is in for trouble. The " country will be overrun witft -bachelors, all incurable one-arm ed drivers with roving eyes, '. " palms flattened against the horn aid a bottle of spirits in every glove compartment. Tall, dark and handsome they may be, but the short, washed out, homely man can just as well be doing the wooing and I winning of the damsels. Natur- ally, the shorter fellows won't 3 be wooing and winning on the" Z streets and highways. No, they'- 11 be driving with both hands off the horn and on the steer- ir.g wheel, eyes glued to the road " and coffee under their belts. At their ;;ide.s will be the cream of the current female crop adulat ing their every safe and sane movement. If Woman has any effect on more than Co. 500 men are get ting killed in automobile accid ents each year, women are hold-in- their statistics own to 9.500. It's good to know they are be ginning to prefer men who know how to take care of them.selvrs when m tl li.ie les.-, driver' -eat. Wi widows and orphan;, th u way. J: J J i i
