EDITORIALS Sukarno on U.N. s Although few Americans realize it, Indonesia i.s the sixth largest country in the world, in population, and therefore it is of some importannce in world affairs. President Sukarno, of Indonesia, who recently attended the United Nations ses sion in New York is therefore a man of world importance. On his departure, he made some in teresting statements, among others ex pressing a desire for a meeting between Eisenhower and Khrushchev. But the most interesting he made was that the United Nations has become a cold-war battle ground, unable to achieve as much as had been hoped. This, Sukarno says, is causing many nations to lose faith in the U. N. In addi tion to this, Sukarno said he agreed with Khrushchev that the structure of the Uni ted Nations should be reorganized and that its headquarters should be moved irom New York. These views from one of the leading "neutralists" in the world indicate that Khrushchev has made some progress in his recent efforts in New York. He has impressed Sukarno that the United Na tions should be reorganized, and moved from New York. , The United States, which foots most of the bill for the United Nations, which originated it, and which has supplied most of the troops in United Nations, campaigns (such as K6rea) finds itself in the posi tion of having an increasing number of neutrals criticize New York as the site of the U. N. If the sixteen new nations of the Uni-, ted Nations and others which will soon be admitted, go along with this appease ment approach the Western powers may find their former majority in the U.N. dis appearing as the neutrals and new nations attempt to appease the communists.

THE PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA, SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL PAOE TWO Section C Thursday, November 3, 1960 A Plan for Escape from Fire May Save Lives Fire strikes without warning. Every two minutes fire dam ages a home somewhere in the United States. Would you know what to do If fire broke out In your home tcmight? There are definite steps you can take to be prepared, the National Board of Fire Under writers reminds. To know how to escape could save vour life and those of -members of your family. First, work out an escape plan. Do It now. Be sure every one in the house Is familiar with It. And keep this procedure up permost in your mind: If fire strikes your home, first get everyone out of t h e house. Then call the lire depart ment. , If the fire has Rained head way, the first two or three min utes after you discover it mav be the most Important minutes of your life. An Escape Plan Now for organizing an escape plan: 1 Get all members of the family together and fieure out two possible escape routes to the ground from any upstairs bedroom. If one of the two escape routes is cut off, you will have the alternate one. Make sure every member of the family Is familiar with the two routes, also any giiref t$ who mVy be stopping with you, and also the baby sitter. Work out , this escape plan, and rehearse it. 2 Suppose you are sleeping in a closed upstairs bedroom, wake up, and smell smoke! Don't rush out into the hallway immediately. Go to the door and place the palm of your hand against it. If the door feels hot, it may be that the hallway is already aflame and filled with hot and toxic gases. Either use another escape route or go to the window, awaken people by shouting "Fire!" If there is a phone in the room, quickly call the fire department. If the door does not feel hot, open it slightly. Hold your head away, brace the door with your foot and put your hand across the opening to determine how hot and smoky the air is. If the hallway appears to be cool ana there are no flames or smoke pouring up the stairway, you may be able to use tne regular route of escape. However, if there is any ques- DOG HERO Hot Springs, Ark. As she stepped from her car near Hot Springs, Mrs. J. D. McDowell heard the warning buss of a rattlesnake.

Mrs. Glen Rutledge is home from Clarkson hospital, Omaha. She was there two weeks due to a back injury. tion about safe passage down the stairs, go back to the wind ow and await rescue. Be Sure to Keep Door Closed Be sure to keep the bedroom door closed. The door is a good fire wall which may give you, two to five minutes of extra time if flames leap up the hall way. If the hallway outside your upstairs bedroom is aflame, go to the window, shout for help, but don't Jump out. You might be injuring yourself needlessly. Open the window, breathe the fresh air outside, and stay calm. Look below to see if there is a porch roof beneath the wind ow. If so, and smoke and flames are beginning to enter the room around the door, crawl out on the porch roof to await rescue. If it becomes necessary to jump to the ground, drop bed ding, pillows, clothing or any thing else soft on the ground beneath the window. This will make a cushion to land on. Then, lower yourself over the window sill to reduce the dis tance to the ground and drop onto the pile of bedding. Spray Eggs with Oil To Maintain Peak Quality LINCOLN Nebraska egg producers are being advised to treat the shells of eggs with oil or oil compounds as a step in producing a top quality product. "Why Oil Helps Egg Quality," is the title of a new circular re leased by the University of Nebraska College of Agriculture and available at County Exten sion offices. - ' Author John L. Skinner, Uni versity Extension poultry man, points out that paraffin base mineral oils have been used to seal egg shells for more than 150 years. Until recently, how ever, this treatment had been associated with eggs being. held for storage for prolonged periods or eggs being shipped and in transit for a considerable length of time. "Today, this Is no longer the case," Skinner stated. "Many marketing agencies are requir ing producers to 'oil' all eggs within 24 hours of the time they are laid." Oil does not add to egg qual ity, but it does aid in reatining quality already present, Skin ner explained. Oil seals the pores of the shell, slowing down evaporation of moisture and dissipation of gasses. In the process of sealing the shell, the oil also enables the egg to better withstand move ment and transportation where variations in temperature and humidity are apt to occur, Skin ner noted. The type of oil normally used to "process" eggs is a light-weight, odorless, and tasteless min eral oil that has no color. It can be obtained from poultry supply houses or egg marketing agen cies. "To be most effective, the oil must be applied shortly after the egg is laid," Skinner empha sizes. "This will usually mean as soon as the egg is gathered, cool ed and cleaned, and certainly be fore the egg is 24 hours old." Procedures on applying the oil are spelled out in the publica tion E. C. 60-1417. More Hogs for Spring Market LINCOLN Based on fall and winter farrowing figures and In tentions in the 1C Cornbelt states more hogs will be coming to market during the late spring and early summer of 1961 than during the same period in 1930. This analysis comes from University of Nebraska Exten sion farm economist Fred Ol son, writing in Cornhusker Ec onomics, published by the Col lege of Agriculture. While farrowlngs from June through August, 1960, were seven per cent below a year earlier, intentions to farrow from Sept ember through November were three per cent above a year ago, and intentions to farrow from December through February are four per cent above a year earlier. Coupled with this expected quick up-turn In hog production is a change in the seasonal pat tern of farrowlngs, Olson noted. "Fall farrowlngs have increas ed from 39 per cent of the an nual total in 1950 to 43 per cent in 1950. If hog producers follow (Political Advertisement) their intentions, this will In crease to 46 per cent this year," the University economist ex plained. Research work done at Indlan na indicates that if 47 per cent of the pig crop were farrowed In the fall, the demand for pork would be the tame for the fall and spring crop. "This means t.at the prices for the fall pig cop will be a bout the same as those received for the spring pig crop," Olson stated. "Prices will be stronger for early fall pigs than for the late fall pigs," he concluded. Subscribe to. The Journal Now! RUG IN AND (" jM!,t,, J START THE j-f jj botWnj, oihlj, COUNT.T S -JJ draining.
