r , .. .1 i in p m m-mm wwm mmm w mmwrn - EDITORI ALS Down Historical Days As the month of January is appropriate to look back over its histori cal significance. In U. S. history it is an especially memorable month. New Year's Day, of course, starts the month, but back in 18G3 Abraham Lincoln issued the emancipation proclamation on January 1st. Interestingly, this did not free all the slaves just the ones in areas which were fighting the Washington go vernment. In the forty-eight counties of West Virginia, for example, the proclama tion read that this area is "left precisely as if this proclamation had not been is sued." On January 2nd, General Longstreet died, in 1904 and on that day General James Wolfe was born, in 1727. On that day in 1776 General Washington ran up the first colonial flag at his army head quarters with thirteen red and white stripes for the original states and the crosses of St. George and St. Andrew in the space now occupied by the forty-nine states. The Battle of Trinceton was fought January 3rd, 1777, which saved New Jer sey from immediate British occupation at that time. Tom Thumb was born January 4th (Charles S. Stratton) in 1838. The scion Vanderbilt died on January 1th in 1877 and the day is the birthday of St. Titus, in the calendar of the Roman Cat holic Church. On January 5th, 163G, Rhode Island was settled and this day is also Epiphany Eve. The legend is that the Three Wise Men from the East were on their way to Bethlehem from Jerusalem when they pass ed an old woman cleaning her house. She asked where they were going and they told her. She asked them to wait until she fin ished her work and she would go too but they could not wait and told her she could follow them, later. When she finished her work, she started out but could not find them. Ever since, she has been wandering about the world seeking the child Jesus. In Italy she is called Befana and in Italy and Rus sia she is supposed to go down the chim ney and leave presents for children! The relics of the bones of the Three Wise Men, incidentally, rest at Cologne having been first taken to Constantinople, then taken during the First Crusade to Milan, where Barbarossa captured them and took them to the cathedral at Cologne. January 6th is Epiphany from the Greek word, meaning "manifestation." It is observed throughout the Christian Church but in different ways and with dif ferent meanings in various countries. It was thought to be the Fourth Century. It is the twelfth day after Christmas. President Roosevelt, in 1941, pro claimed the four freedoms not yet reali zed, on January 6th. January 7th is the birth anniversary of Millard Fillmore, thirteenth President, who was born at Locke, N. Y., in 1800. The first passage through the Panama Canal came on Janu ary 7th, 1914, by the self-propelled crane boat Alex La Valley though it wasn't until August that the first ocean steamer made the passage from ocean to ocean.

Capitol News By Melvin Paul SUtehouse Corresiwndent The Nebraska Press Association LINCOLN There will be plenty of fuss in the 1959 Legis lature over the Advisory State Highway Commission. This li a seven-member, bi partisan group appointed by the governor to advise the State En gineer on policy. By law, it has no executive authority and can not hold executive sessions (those closed to the public and press). A bill will be presented to the lawmakers, convening Jan. 6, to establish an executive commis sion that would have power to decide road problems, thus re moving considerable authority from the engineer and gover nor. Sen. Marvin Lauteuschlager of Grand Island says he is hav ing a bill drafted to give the commission executive authority. A survey of lawmakers showed there will be stiff opposition to changing the present commis sion setup, although there are a considerable number of senators who are "undecided." Oov. Victor Anderson had some comments on talk about changing the commission. Ho said he gave the com mission executive authority by approving all its decisions since he has been governor. "The Highway Commission has done a tremendous job for the people of our state and I wish to commend them," Gov. Ander son said. Gov. Anderson said he endors es the present system of an ad yr YEARS ACO faU Judge Norris Chadderdon of Hold redge was elected president and Judge A. II.

"It has taken the politics out of our road program," he com mented. The commission has followed the sufficiency system in re commending road building prio rity. This practice has met with general approval of state sen ators and a survey showed they support the method. Board of Control The important Board of Con trol will be the subect of much study also in the Unicameral. A move is underway to abo lish the board and replace it with a seven-member commis sion appointed by the governor. This group would decide policy and appoint heads of various fields, such as penal, mental health and children's services. Sen. George Syas of Omaha, long a foe of the three-member said he would introduce the le gislation to do away w.'th the board. Voters last November authori zed the Legislature to change the Board of Control system if I it desired, by approving an a- mendment to the consmuiion which transferred jurisdiction of the board to the Legislature. The board has been a self executing agency, and untouch able by the Legislature as far as changing its makeup. Appointments to the board are made by the governor who then has no control over actions of the board, yet gets blamed for them politically. Now. the three members con trol 17 state institutions. Syas says his proposal would pinpoint responsibility and pro vide a closer liaison with the I governor and the board, inc Memory Lane ACO The residents of this portion of Cass county joined in the tormal opening of the new building and plant of the Cass County Co-Operative Creamery and Pro duce Co., in this city at Main and Richey streets, near the Burlington station.
