Scots Started Open Season On Bachelors It's Leap Year again . . . and you can blame the Scots for de claring it open season on bach elors. They probably saw the custom of letting a woman pop the question as a way to put money in the treasury and take spins ters off the welfare rolls. According to the research de partment of World Book Ency clopedia Scotland is said to have decreed in 1288 that ladies "of bothe highe and lowe estait" shall have the privilege of pro posing during leap years. If a man refused the offer, he was fined as much as one pound . . . unless he could show that another woman had a prior claim on his affections. The ladies, however, had to give fair warning that they were out to catch a man. If the edge of a scarlet flannel petticoat wasn't clearly visible, a man was absolved from paying the forfeit. France reportedly passed a similar law, and the ladies of Florence and Genoa are said to have been given the privilege be fore Columbus sailed to Amer ica. The gallant English supposed ly didn't need a law to make them give the fair but single sex a break. But they backed up the custom by depriving a man of benefit of clergy if he scoffed at a leap year proposal. Even if he didn't hurt the lady's feelings, he was obliged to present her with a silk gown . . . as a consolation prize. 4-H NEWS The Cass Go Getters Club held their 4-H Christmas party Dec. 29.

Charles Marshall of Avoca president of the Nebraska Farm Bureau Federation has annunc ed that the organization's Board of Directors had authorized the formation of the "Agricultural Research Foundation. Inc." and that articles and by-law would be drawn Immediately under Ne braska Statutes to provide for this new Entity as directed by the House of Delegates at the organization's recent annual meeting. The Resolution directing the formation of the "Agricultural Research Foundation, Inc." said: "RESEARCH ENTITY. The great need for additional re search and the compilation and correlation of information al ready in existence for specific projects to which our members and a wide segment of agricul tural and business interests might wish to voluntarily sub scribe warrants the considera tion of alternative means of es tablishing and independent re search entity affiliated with Farm Bureau in Nebraska. "We are convinced that farm ers and ranchers can and should help themselves and their com munities by doing things which should not or cannot be done ap propriately by existing agencies. There are still other things which will not be done if farmers and ranchers do not do them. We, therefore, direct the Board of Directors of the Nebraska Farm Bureau Federation to proceed with the establishment of a re search entity capable of pro viding broad and flexible means of assisting farmers and ranch ers with selected pressing pro blems within the scope of policy resolutions of this House of Vot ing Delegates." Marshall announced that the Foundation would provide a ve hicle as directed by the resolu tion and that its first project would be "a determination of the feasibility of making alcohol from agricultural products" which was directed by still an other portion of the resolution. He said that those in agricul ture and business who wish to become a part of this self-help! enort would have an opportunity to contribute to projects in which they were specifically interest ed and could be assured of res ponsible management and an ac counting of their funds. The plan of operation of the Foundation proposes to accept only direct and voluntary con tributions of donors who are in terested in. the Foundation or particular projects. Maurice E. Stans, director of the budget: "The government has to stop living on credit cards." Here's Good Advice for Any Parents . . With nose and throat infec tions now approaching their an nual peak, the Nebraska Heart Association today requested par ents to include among their New Year's resolutions the fol lowing: 'Resolved, that I will take every precaution to safeguard my children against 'strep' in fections as a means of protect ing them against rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart di seases." The Association pointed out that recent advances in scienti fic knowledge of the streptococ cus germ many of them speed ed by Heart Fund contributions now make it possible for med ical science to prevent many cases of rheumatic fever, which sometimes leads to rheumatic heart disease. But the cooperation of par ents is urgently needed. Rheumatic fever almost al ways is preceded by a strepto coccal infection usually of the throat. If a child has a "strep" infection, and if the parents secure medical attention, the physician can often knock out the infection and thus ward off the danger of rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart disease. For those children with a his tory of rheumatic fever, par ental cooperation is essential. Parents must see to it that they get regular medical treatment to safeguard against "strep" in fection. This will head-off re peat attacks of rheumatic fever, which carry with them the ser ious danger of cumulative heart damage. The Association emphasized that only a physician is quali fied to decide whether a child may have a "strep" infection and to treat the disorder. If a child gets a sore throat and has any of the signs and symptoms listed below, said the Association, a physician should be called promptly. Parents should be prepared to answer the following questions: 1. Did the sore throat come on suddenly? 2. Does your youngster com plain that his throat hurts most when he swallows? 3. Does it hurt him under the angle of his jaws when you press there gently with your fingers? Are the glands swollen here? 4. Does he have fever? (Usual ly a strep infection brings on a fever of between 101 and 104 de grees.) 5. Does your child complain of headache? 6. Is he nauseated? Has he vomited? 7. Has he been in contact with anyone who has had scarlet fev er or a sore throat? The Association also urged all citizens to resolve to support the 1960 Heart Fund, which is to be conducted throughout February. County Court O. A.
