Friends received announce ments of the wedding of Miss 'Airlift' of 1st Class Mail To Speed Airlift of first class mail to day was described by Platts mouth Postmaster Leslie Niel as follows: First class Is the most Import ant mail service. As a basic means of communication, it is historically, traditionally and by law accorded a preferred treat ment. In keeping with national pro gress in every field, its standard of service must remain such as to show constant improvement, not deterioration. Changes in surface transpor tation media, the growth and shifting locale of our popula tion, and substantial Increases in mail volume, required that the Post Office Department make a comprehensive study of its mail transportation and distribution system. The study showed that past practices and policies must be changed if ser vice is to be Improved. Passenger train schedules, im portant to first class mail, are fast disappearing. Between February 1, 1953 and January 1, 1960 the railroads have eli minated 1216 mail trains on their own initiative. In the first six months of 1960, 46 more were taken off. More are coming off at a rapid rate. Department of Com merce Transportation Report recommends further reductions. So does the Interstate Com merce Commission. And the Transportation Act of 1958 speeds up procedures for dis continuance of trains. Despite this sharp decline in number of mail carrying trains, the railroads received $344 mil lion in fiscal 1960, about 75 per- Carlene Cox, a former Nehaw ka resident, and Mr. Merril Dale Howrey, at Falrbury.

The fiscal 1960 mall payments to railroads are up $9 million over 1959, - up more than $50 million over 1956. Extension of the airlift, as planned, will leave the railroads with more revenue in fiscal 1961 than in 1960, and more in 1962 than in 1961, because of volume Increase. Post Office Department does Its utmost, at every turn, to al low the railroads to retain mail traffic, even in the face of dras tic reduction In number of avail able trains, sometimes at a sacrifice in cost and quality. Only by approplate use of air transportation can the Post Office Department continue its program of improving first class mail service with a goal of over night delivery nationwide. 'A total of 35,000 tons of first class mail is now being airlifted annually, which includes the 10,000 tons added in the recent expansion. First class mail moving more than 300 miles amounts to about 150,000 tons annually. This is less than 3 percent of our total nonlocal mail volume of all classes. Airlift of first class mall on a nonpriorlty space available basis can be operated without increase in cost to the Depart ment. Air carriers are paid 50 percent of the rate for air mail. Sorting and distribution in post offices costs less ' than enroute distribution in railway post of fice cars. Airlift would still leave the patron with a clear choice be tween two distinctly different services. Air mail postage guarantees most expeditious handling. Air mail receives priority in its col lection from street letter boxes and in processing at post office of mailing. It is dispatched on the first available flight with priority over all other traffic, and is distributed first at des tination post office. First class mail is airlifted only on a space available basis, without priority in handling or transportation. Many other countries are us ing air transportation where it will expedite delivery of letter mail. This is true within most of Europe. For several years Canada has used air dispatch for letter mail. ' i; Present awlift proves that pub-' lie" will continue to use air mail service as before. In fact air mail has increased more on air lift segments than on others. . The proposed airlift will cause no unemployment among postal personnel. Some shifts will be made, however, from railway post offices to positions in post offices or other installations. This will be accomplished with the least possible dislocation. Sale of Beautiful Cering Mansion In This City One of the beautiful homes of the city has been acquired by Mr. and Mrs. Ben Kirschenman, who have moved into the Ger Ing home on North Sixth street and expect to make that their home in the future.

Would-be Drosoectors will be j disappointed to learn that al though the glitter is the real thing, it is only about l-1000th of a millimeter thick. An ordin ary brick holds the gold leaf. Ambulance 4111 0UJl-t SAC Training To Simulate Altitude Targets HQ SAC Technological ad vancements in aerospace vehic les have prompted SAC to order a navigator radar trainer cap able of depicting target com plexes as they would be seen at altitudes from sea level up to 100,000 feet. The system, contained in a 10 x 12 "Cabin" can simulate tar gets 2,000 miles away, thereby increasing the target knowledge of SAC navigators. It will pro' vide current intelligence data necessary for navigators to com plete a simulated mission over any target. The present trainer, the AN-APQ-T2A, can simulate targets only 400 miles distant. Acquisition of the aerospace trainer was announced by Maj Gen. William II. Blanchard, SAC director of Operations, following awarding of the contract by the Air Force. Scheduled for completion in November, the new trainer will be used by navigators on SAC's B-47 and B-52 aircraft. These bombers make up the bulk of the command s striking force. It will be adaptable to the B-70 bomber when It becomes opera tional. The trainer will be par ticularly valuable for naviga tors of the supersonic B-70 air craft, which will be capable of speeds in excess of 2,000 miles per hour for long distances with out refueling and will have a ceiling of more than 70,000 feet Later, the simulator will be ad apted to manned space vehicles. Th new simulator will help SAC keep its navigators abreast of the latest intelligence data by providing targets displayed on maps reduced to scale. It also will provide information for the navigator to use as alter nates in locating and hitting tar gets in case malfunction of or iginal radar equipment occurs Each SAC stateside base and the Air Training Command's Mather AFB, Calif., will receive the modern trainer. SAC navi gators receive their initial train ing at Mather. A separate simulator has been purchased to train B-58 naviga tors. The B-58 is the free world's first supersonic bomber and is assigned to SAC. The training division of SAC's Directorate of Operations is re sponsible for progress evalua. tions of the new system. Grove Attends Diamond Clinic Lyle Grove of Grove Jewelry here recently returned from Kansas City where he attended an intensive, 3-day refresher course in diamond grading. This clinic was conducted by the C. A. Kiger Co., one of the major diamond importers, who operate one of only a few diamond la boratories in the world. "The laboratory itself is uni que", says Mr. Grove, "It was kept at a constant temperature, the air was filtered to remove dust and it was lighted by spe cially designed lights so there were no shadows. Conditions were constant so diamond could be graded at all times under the same conditions." "We checked diamonds for color under Constant Light and then matched them against a set of Master Guide Stones. There were checked under spe cial Ultra-Violet rays for fluore scence. They were checked under a 'Diamondscope', which is real ly a binocular microscope with specially corrected lens that give up to 60 power magnifica tion, for internal markings." "When you consider that 250 tons of blue rock (that's a pile 10 ft. square and 100 ft. high) have to be mined, transported, pulverized and sorted to produce the equivalent of one 1-carat diamond - and there is only one flawless diamond in 36 carats -one is surprised that diamonds cost as little as they do." "But, we spent 3 eight-hour days listening to lectures and observing laboratory tests and experiments by graduate gemo logists, in order to learn to grade diamonds more accurately, be cause cut, color and internal cleanliness determine a dia mond's price and 'I - for one -want to be able to give my cus tomers the best possible dia mond for their money."

Un), THE PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA, SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL Monday, August 29, 1960 PAGE FIVE More Science Required of UN Husbandry Students LINCOLN The teaching pro gram in animal husbandry at the University of Nebraska has made a break with many of the old patterns and traditions to meet the needs of today's advan ced agriculture. According to Dr. Franklin Eld ridge, director of resident in struction at the College of Agri culture, the animal husbandry major now requires that stud ents take more basic science courses before they go into the applied animal courses. Dr. Eldridge said that In the rapidly changing times we are now experiencing, it is important students be well-grounded in basic Information, so that they can evaluate the new methods and procedures in different type of agriculture. "Twenty or thir ty years ago it was necessary for our colleges to spend con siderable time on practical ap plications of different methods in animal husbandry. This type of teaching has been very ef fective and has resulted in a great many changes in methods of conducting farm operations," he added. "In view of the impact of re search on systems of production, it is now time for a change. I'm sure the changes we are mak ing in the Animal Husbandry department reflect this attitude," Dr. Eldridge said. According to Dr. Robert M. Koch, chairman of the Animal Husbandry department, an en tirely new course and three com pletely revised courses have been added to the major. The new course, livstock pro duction, is dsigned for under graduate students who are not majoring in animal husbandry, to provide them with informa tion on animal production prob lems at a much higher level than in the past. The course is intend ed for potential vocational agri culture instructors and county agents who are often faced with questions and problems of this type. Such are not able to take a full sequence of production courses. Dr. Koch said that the other three courses - swine, beef and sheep production. - have been upgraded and will require prep aration in the basic sciences. They will enable the students to START YOUR "FALL SHOPPING" IN YOUR CLOTHES CLOSETS. (START TODAY) Rummage through your clothes closets for last year's garments and bring them to us for "like new" cleaning that will put them in tip-top shape for wearing this fall.

Another major change In the curriculum is that all animal husbandry graduates will no longer be required to take the basic introductory course, fund amental animal husbandry, as has been true in the past. Dr. Koch said that many of the facts that a boy would receive in this course could be learned on u farm or through practical ex perience. I . i "With this background he should be able to take more ad vanced courses without difficul ty," he added. 7 Dr. Koch explained that speci fied courses in other depart ments also have been added lo the requirements to make the graduate well rounded In his knowledge for a better under standing of work in animal husbandry.
