EDITORIALS Four-Week Holidays Professor Carl Hittmeir, of the Uni versity of Innsbruck, believes that people should work a longer week, and have long er holidays. He has a set of statistics to back up his opinion. Professor Hittmeir believes that people do not get acclimated to new holiday sur roundings during the first few days of their vacation. Therefore, the first three or four days are necessarily partially lost as far as the benefits of the rest are concerned. And, according to Che Professor, only after about three weeks does the maximum relaxation and rest arrive. Thus, one needs to take at least a month-long vacation to get the maximum benefit from it. To do this, however, most people would have to quit their jobs, and this is a slight disadvantage. The Professor thinks that this obstacle might be over come if people worked six days, instead of five, so that they could take off a month, or even two months, when the time came. This is good theory, and we are in favor of it, except that we are wondering about those people who work seven days a week, such as an editor. It would seem he would be forced to work eight days a week, in order to get a month's vacation, and the same would hold true for all those people who are on their jobs seven days a week. For those who are working six days a week, it is unlikely they would in crease this to seven. However, the professor has a good theory, and month-long vacations would be nice. Wherever they can be arranged, they should be, and will probably pay nice dividends in longer life and better health.

Efficiency 'Key' To Survival in Farming Business LINCOLN-The key to survival in the farming business today lies in higher efficiency that cuts costs and increases net returns per acre. "Efficient farming can make the difference between a profit and a loss, according to U.' S. Department of Agriculture ec onomists. Farmers who intend to stay in business need a greater net income, in view of changing prices and expenses. The only way open to them is to increase efficiency, cut their costs of pro duction and attain greater re turns per acre. One important way to increase net profits is through the use of fertilizer, according to Clin ton Hoover, University of Nebr aska Extension agronomist and the Midwest Division of the Nat ional Plant Pood Institute. . They cjte research in area ag-, ricultural colleges indicating that many farmers could double or triple their present Income per acre by using the right kinds and amounts of plant food. "By increasing his crop pro ducing efficiency through better management and the use of rec ommended amounts of fertiliz er," says the Institute, "a far me can cut down on the acreage he devotes to cash crops and still boost his net profits. In other words, he can produce less and still make more money. Fish Stocked LINCOLN Although interest in hunting accelerates with each passing day, there is good news for Nebraska fishermen. Glen R. Foster, fisheries chief, reports that 281,000 warm-water fish and almost 5,000 pounds of carp were released In scattered waters during the past month. Waters stocked include: Weep ing Water City Park Lake- bull heads; Louisville Lake No 3 Carp. THE PLATTSMOUTH. NEBRASKA, SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL. PAGE TWO Section B Thursday, September 10. 1959 Capitol News Si:::::::: By Melvin Paul Statehouse Correspondent The Nebraska Press Association LINCOLN T h Interstate Highway will be a topic of dis cussion for many moons and many reasons. One of the latest angles con nected with the new super high way is that produced by Mel Steen, director of the State Game Commission. Steen and State Engineer Roy Cochran have agreed to study the creation of a string of lakes along the 143 miles of the Inter state between Grand Island and North Platte. Steen says his plan is that con siderable sand and gravel will be needed for the Interstate highway. This has to normally be hauled into the road site. But he thinks it could be pumped from sandpits along the high way, making the pits big enough to be lakes. This plan would not change lo cation of the Interstate or the river. Cochran says there Is a lot of merit to the suggestion of steen but details will require study. Complicating factors would be location of. bridges on county roads, cattle underpasses and the feasibility of bringing in the gravel by pumping. The amount of material for the road bed of a mile-long section of the intrestate would produce a lake of 15 to 25 acres in size, Cochran said. Nebraskans will hear much about the Interstate In the next decade, whether it involves wages paid workers, federal funds or landscaping. Kyle Retires A familiar face in the state-house-that of friendly Homer Kyle of the Attorney General's office-will be missing in the corridors. Kyle, now 71, has retired from the post of an assistant attorney general which he has held 18 years. He says he wants to read "some of the books I've always wanted to read." Kyle was appointed to his post in 1929. Atty. Gen. C. S. Beck said it was with "profound re gret" that he accepted Kyle's retirement. Money Needed State Education Commissioner Freeman Decker says he probab ly will not have enough funds to operate the schools for the blind at Nebraska City and the deaf at Omaha. Thes institutions, formerly under jurisdiction of the board of Control, come under manage, ment of the State Board of Ed ucation July 1. Decker syas the Legislature appropriated $300,000 for the deaf school and $160,000 for the blind school in order that the department may run the in stitutions for the second year of the current biennium. But the commissioner says the board of control was able to sup plement those funds with other revenues while his department cannot do this. Thus, says Decker, he prob ably will ask the 1961 Legislature for a deficiancy appropriation. Taxes Collected The state collected $5,248,402 in taxes from gasoline, oil, nat ural gas, cigarets and liquor dur ing August, monthly reports show. Bulk of the revenue - $4,465, 322 -. came from the tax on gas oline. Cigaret taxes produced $522,494, liquor $146,312 and oil and natural gas severance lev- lse, $114,274. State Fair The current edition of Nebraska State Fair is in swing in Lincoln. the full But Democrats and capitol employes cannot be seen "poli ticking" during working hours. That is, If they are following the advice of Gov. Ralph G. Brooks. Robert Conrad, the governor's administrative assistant, says wives of department heads and otner Democratic volunteers from throughout the state are at the Democratic party's boot at the annual exposition. However, employes and de partment heads who are Dem ocrats will be at the Democratic booth in the evenings, Conrad said. State Chairman Russell Han son says the booth will be the "warmup for the 1960 cam paign." Equalization The latest meeting of the State Board of Equalization was more harmonious than previous ones. Board members got together to approve assessments on flight equipment of airlines which op erated in Nebraska in 1958 These are set by the State Tax commissioner. United Airlines was assessed. $25,920 Braniff $5,047 and West ern $1,055. Frontier, now operating in tin; state, was not included in the assessment, according to Stale Tax Commissioner Fred Iler rington because it did not oper ate scheduled service in the state In 1958. You And The Law SCHOOL BUSES School has started. Children all over the state will be head ing for their class rooms. Some will go on foot, some will ride. Many will be riding school buses. Every motorist should use the greatest care so that every child will return home safely and not be carried home as the victim of a careless driver. Each driver should be familiar with the rules of the road. A part of these rules goven your conduct as a drive around school buses. Presently, the law makes it the duty of any driver ap proaching a place where a school bus Is unloading or loading pas sengers to stop. He must remain stopped until the school bus starts again. This is not new. It also means cars meeting the school bus as well as those following. Some new rules were added by the 1959 Legislature. These will become effective on Sept. 28 of this year. Under these rules school buses are pro tected even more than in the past. Any driver overtaking or meeting a school bus must be careful. The law provides that certain stop lights be placed on school buses. If the stop warning lights on a school bus are flashing, an approaching or following motor ist must slow speed of his car to 25 miles per hour. If the stop signal arm on the school bus is extended, the driver must stop his car. He must remain stopped until the signal arm is retracted and the bus has resumed mo tion. However, he may properly proceed, after stopping, if he is signaled by the school bus driv er to ( proceed. A violation of these rules is made a misde meanor and is punishable by a fine or jail sentence. This law applies to cars meet ing as well as to those following school buses. The only excep tion is on a divided highway. In that case only the cars going in the same directon as the school bus must stop. These laws were passed in the interest of safety. They help protect our children. Remember them and obey them. (This column is written to in form and not to advise. Facts may change the application of the law in an individual case.) 'Adequate Hunt Harvest Is Needed' LINCOLN, Nebr. With some of Nebraska's finest all-around hunting in modern times in prospect for this fall, Game Commission Director M. Steen expresses hope that the state's hunters will take to the field in normal numbers. "Our upland-game popula tions pheasant, quail, and gouse are bountiful," he said, "and from a game management standpoint, we need a full turn out of Nebraska hunters in order to have an adequate harvest." Citing as an example the fall of 1957, when a total of 151,357 hunting permits were Issued, Steen said the normal hunting pressure in Nebraska is in ex cess of 200,000. "Last year we had only 168, 330 hunters out," Steen pointed out, "and we didn't adequately harvest our small game crop. This year we have a better crop. Good management demands that highs in game and highs in hunting pressure come together. We should get back to the 200. 000 level this year, rather than later when game crops may be down again." Nebraska's hunting pressure fluctuates widely-more than 30, 000 from one year to the next, and nearly twice that much over several years. Nonresidents make up only -3 per cent of the total, hence are not significant in the fluctuations that occur. Steen went on to say that game can not be stockpiled, and that changes in environment lead to the ruse and fall of small game crops. "Hunter-harvest is closely con trolled and presents no pro blems," he continued. "Our big headache is wildlife environ ment because we can't control the wide environment changes that occur over the years. Th? wise thing to do, then, is to har vest small game when we have it, and we hope Nebraska's hunt ers will do just that." . . Journal Want Ads Pay
