A Dirty Little Marsh It was nothing but a swamp, a dirty old marsh, full of dirty old black mud lying just benea th a few scant inches of dirty old water. Cows got stuck in it, and mosquitoes thought it be longed to them. Sometimes it gave off odors. The farmer's kids were warned to stay away from it, and the farmer wished he could drain it. Yet there were miracles of life In it. A couple of blue-winged teal and a lady mallard cluck brought off young. Red-winged blackbirds Increased their num bers, fought with each other, and with all invaders of any size. Ringnecks like the edge of it because the cover was good. In the winter a boy could pick up a couple of cottontails easily, and the muskrats he trapped paid for the .22 cartridges he used. Now and then, the boy caught a dark skiny mink and became rich beyond dreams. The little pond is the back bone of the cover required for existence by wildlife. But the dirty old marsh is fast disap pearing in southeastern Nebras ka. A handful of dedicated zea lots in the Game Commission are trying to save it, and hund reds of other dirty old marshes. Laudable to be sure, says the farmer, and he's all for it. But he also wishes his marsh was drained. Game Commission technicians are making an intensive township-by-township study, reveal ing some territic marsh losses. One township, for instance, just a few years ago had 12 good sized marshes, ideal for nesting ducks. Today there Is only one left and it's less than one acre in size. The loss of wetlands in the southeast corner of Nebraska during the past decade is alarm ing. Each year Nebraska loses some more. The future is not promising, but the men who fight to preserve these precious little marshes are eternally op timistic. They say there are ways the wetlands can be saved, maybe by leasing and even purchase, as is clone for shooting grounds. They point out that these dirty old marshes have been the an cestral breeding grounds for thousands of years and should be saved. But mostly the optimists rest their hopes in a phrase that is new to many persons total land use. This means that all agencies are in the act together county agents, soil conserva tion advisers, foresters, fish and game biologists, land owners, hunters, and fishermen. Dedicated men see this as the only way to save the home of much of our wildlife. Obituary FRANK H. SXOW NEHAWKA (Special) Prank!

Call Your News And Social Items to 241 , Surplus, Scrap Brings in $4.2 OFFUTT AFB As far as the Redistribution and Marketing Activity of the 3902d Supply Squadron Is concerned, Uncle Sam doesn't waste a thing at Offutt. During fiscal year 1959 the activity saved the United States citizens $4.25 million. The saving resulted from the sale and the re-use of the two kinds of goods handled by Red istribution & Marketing: surplus property and scrap. Items come from all over SAC and from the Army and the National Guard, and in the course of sale or re use these items go all over the country. During fiscal year 1959 the ac tivity disposed of 1,587,980 pounds of scrap and waste and $1,850,882 worth of surplus pro perty (at resale value). It hand les everything from garbage, which sells for $2.05 a ton, to armored cars, which normally go for about $000. Right now the activity has two aircraft computers, valued at $150,000 each when new, which are listed for sale along with clothing, shoes, all kinds of rub ber, plastic scrap, linen, paper plumbing supplies, outdated film, safety pins, and everything else imaginable. Many items are broken down for sale or re-use. All the film from the entire continental SAC command is 5ent to Offutt for resale of the silver, which brings about 98 cents per troy ounce. In fiscal year 1959 the activity realized $25,000 from the sale of film ash. Parachutes are torn apart; the shroud lines go to the Air Pol ice for shoelaces and lanyards, the silk goes to the Boy Scouts and the Girl Scouts for tenting, and the canvas and steel are sold as scrap. Old fire extinguishers are broken down into their com ponents of iron, copper, and brass and sold that way. Batter ies are sold for their lead con tent. Aluminum is salvaged from other scrap and sells for about $240 a ton. IBM tab cards are separted from other paper; they sell for $57 per ton. When an item is received by Redistribution and Marketing, it is included on a listing. The base has 15 days to request the item for re-use, and during fiscal year 1959 it requested surplus property with a sale value of $43,739 and 65,508 pounds of scrap.

Such donations took sur plus property with a sale value of $223,706 and 30,091 pounds of scrap last year. Recipients in cluded the Civil Air Patrol, the Boy Scouts, and the Girl Scouts.

There are three kinds of sales: the retail sale, open to both military personnel and the pub lic, in which individual units are up for sale; the spot bid sale, open only to the public and not to military personnel or their families, In which items are sold by lot and the lot value is not more than $500; and the sealed bid sale, open only to the pub ic, in which items are sold by lot and the lot value is more than $500. Depending upon the items available, retail -sales are held about once a month, spot bid sales about ten times a year, and sealed bid sales about four times a year. In all sale pricing the activity attempts to approximate the prices of local dealers in sur plus property and scrap. Disposal officer and head of the Redistribution and Market ing Activity is M. W. Tepper. He reports directly to Lt. Col. Sid ney F. Wogan, commander of the Supply Squadron. Thanks to the work of Mr. Tepper and his staff, the United States citizen saves a lot of money every year.
