LETTER BOX To the ErYitor: CASS COUNTY NEEDS A MUSEUM As time slips away, with more people on the move and old hom es being broken up, many of the treasures of the past are being discarded or sold. Some are unique, some just every day tools and utensils but of a day that is gone, a period that is past. Communities are becoming more conscious of these losses caused bv time and circumstan ces and there is a strong move ment over the country toward the small museum in order to preserve the local relics and records for the generations to come. Modern teaching methods in clude many visual aids to learn ing. History comes alive when children can see the relics of the earlier days. Wre need a Mu seum in Cass County in which to house the wealth of material that is still available but which is gradually being lost to us. You can hc-lo to fill this need by voting (YES) for the Cass County Historical Society Mu seum Levy. Co. Historical Society Cancer Toll For '57: 20 In County Cancer was revealed to be the leading cause of death by dis ease in both male and female from ages one to 29 acording to the 1957 Statistical Report of the Bureau of Vital Statistics of the Nebraska Health Department. Second only to death by ac cident in this age group, can cer dramatically demonstrated that the extremely young are also suseptible to this dread dis ease. A further study of the figures released show that from ages 30 to 60 the incidence of cancer death continues at an extrem ely high rate in women but de creases slightly at age 60. For men, cancer death decrease slightly at age 30 to 44 but in creases from age 45 to 60. No respecter of age, sex or en vironment, the dread disease strikes indiscriminately and with a terrible finality. Tiie figures released show a total of 2,262 deaths by cancer j (ail age groups) in Nebraska in j 1057 as opposed to 2,291 death j in 1956. The reduction of death; by cancer in 1957. despite a, natural iiicrea.se iu population of 19.304. reilects an increased! public awareness of the seven ! cancer danger signals and the; caily detection and treatment of ! cancer. !

MURDOCK (Special) Peri Irene Earl was born Oct. 30, 18S0, on a farm near Syracuse, Nebraska, and died at the Syr acuse Hospital Oct. 9, 1958, after a lingering illness. She was the daughter of Zibcon P. and Ger trude Earl. She received her primary ed ucation at Peru and Syracuse, then attended Nebraska Wesle yan for her high school educa tion; spending her summer mon ths on the farm west of Mur dock. She graduated from Nebraska Wcsleyan University in 1900 and received a master's degree from the University of Nebraska in 1902. She taught school in Dis trict 89 for a year. She was married to August Lindell Jan. 1, 1909. To this union were born six children, two dying in infancy. The fam ily moved to Hinto, Okla., in 1925 for Mr. Lindcll's health, returning to Murdock in 1926. She taught Sunday school for 6 years at Callahan Evangelical Church. Her husband, August, died in November of 1930. After her family was grown she moved back to Hinton, Okla., in 1940 lo care for her oldest sister, Mrs. Ruth Smith. In 1952 she returned to Murdock, to make her home, assisting with the care of several aged people in this community. She was a member of the Mo thodi.st Church since childhood and attended Callahan Evangeli cal Church for many years; transferring her membership to Lbcrczcr Evangelical United Brethren Church of Murdock in 1957. Surviving are children; John Earl of York. Arthur True of Murdock and Ruth Elizabeth of Murdock. Her oldest son. Ever ett Albert, preceded her in death in January, 1956. She is also survived by a sister. True Barnes of Alameda. Calif., and a brother, John Earl of Tonnukui, Wyo., and by 16 :"':t!ific!il(iren and .cvral nic ci and nephews. Burial was in Alvo Cemetery. Rural Teacher Pay Not Tied To Experience "In Nebraska training and ex perience have little effect on the salaries of rural teachers and; the average salary fou rural teachers is less than that for city and village teachers." These facts are revealed in a report to the Nebraska State Ed ucation Association committee on Rural Education, recently completed by Dr. Archer Burn ham, NSEA research director. Rural salaries are inconsistent with the schedules adopted by most city and village schools, the report indurates, since city and village schools, generally contain added increments of pay j for both salary and experience. In the one-teacher schools ther is little relationship between sal ary and experience or salary and training. "The rural teacher with two years of college receives on the average only $8.70 per school month more than the teacher with one year of college. The rural teacher with four years of college receives only $26.82 per school month above the salary paid to teachers with only two years of college; she receives only $11.00 per school month more than the teaclftr with three years of college." Experience also has little sig nificance, the report continues: "The rural teacher in her tenth year of service is paid only $4.60 more than the teacher who is teaching her fifth year. The rural teacher with five years of experience is paid a bonus of $5.00 a year to teach her sixth year. She actually takes a cut of $11.96 a year if she teaches a seventh year, and a further cut of $25.00 if she goes through the eigntn year. t If she sticks for the tenth year as indicated above, she will receive only $4.60 more than she got during her fifth year. A second year rural teacher gets on the average $3.25 more than the beginner, and a third year teacher gets $11.02 more than the second year teacher." The report shows also that the average yearly salary for rural teachers is considerably less than that of their city and village fellows. "A teacher in a one-teacher school with more than ten years of service averages $2,438 an nually, compared to the $3,143 annual average salary for city and village elementary teach ers." Spreader Can Aid Distribution of Grain in Bin LINCOLN Farmers can in crease air movement in drying stored grain by using a cone shaped spreader to distribute the grain uniformly in the bin. states E. A. Olson, Extension a ricultural engineer at the Uni- ! versity of Nebraska. "When the bin is filled without a spreaker, the heavier particles move to the outside and broken kernels collect in the center. This has a tendency to reduce air movement in the center of the bin," Olson adds. "If farmers are to determine how much grain can be placed in a bin for drying, they should use a static pressure gauge,'' the engineer explains. Such a gauge serves as a means to show when a fan is loaded to maximum capacity. County agents in Nebraska have information for building a gauge with plastic tubing. Damaged kernels have a ten dency to fill spaces between sound kernels thus restricting air movement. Ordinarily depths of 6-to-8-feet give most satis factory results. Depths of 4-to j o-fect may overload the system i if the grain containns a large percentage of damaged kernels. If 2 or 3 oins are equipped . with drying systems, the grain . will dry faster if only 4-to 5- j feet of grain is put in each bin J The use of small layers of grain i will permit faster drying with 1 natural air than would be pos- j sible if bins are loaded to nor- . mal depths of about 8-teet. This j method of loading will be most pratical if a portable elevator : or auger is available for filling j storage bins, Olson says. i Farmers may well take advan tage of drying system this tall ! since field losses .may be higher i than usual due to heavy in testa- : Hons of corn borer and stalk rot. : Losses of 15 per cent in corn j and nulo fields this year could : cost a farmer $9 to $12 per acre1 in view of high yndds. If woatfi.T j conditions are unfavorable, lo. s- j es could be even higher. j Since the installation of dry- i ing equipment permits earlier harvest, losses ol cars falling to the ground can be n-duccd.
