imp EDITORIALS Colored Stars This is a good time of year to turn your attention to the colored star. They are few in the heavens, and it takes some cartful attention to pick them out, but you can do it if you will pick a bright night and ifo about the job with determinaton. A reddish star which might be seen is Mira, or the Wonderful Star, which is found in the constellation Cetus. Cetus is in the southern part of the sky. Mira be comeAvery bright for about ten days, a bout tfhat time of year and is reddish in colorvjt is much larger than the sun. Ill the northeastern ' portion of the heavefts, the bright star Capella is easy to observe, and lies in the small Constellation of the Charioteer. The Charioteer is in the northern edge of the Milky Way. Near it, down towards' the east, is the orange-red star Aldebaran, which is in the constella tion Taurus. You will note that Capella and Aldebaran-; are the only brilliant stars high up in the,' whole eastern half of the heavens at about nine o'clock at night this time of year.- '..,.. Ydu can find three bright stars near the North Star, They are Vega, Deneo, and Capefta and CapeJla.is the brightest star nearest the Pole. If you have any de lusioitS of grandeur, when you view Capel la, remember that you are seeing it as it was fbrrty-seven years ago. It takes that long for its light to reach the earth. Capel la is actually speeding away from us at the rate Jf nineteen miles a second. Capella ranks third in brightness of all tljjj stars we see in the United States, and irfja faint yellow star. If you look at it tonight, aW then see it again tomorrow nightit will be 1,631,600 miles farther a way in- which reminds you again' of its im mensity,; scope and miracle of the heavens.

Scarlatti composed the opera while In the service of Queen Maria Casimira or Poland. .

Morrison 'Hit Charmed Circle' After 20 Years in Politics By Melvin Paul Statehouse Correspondent The Nebraska Press Association LINCOLN Nebrask's new governor, Democrat Frank Mor rison of Lincoln, hit the charmed circle after 20 years in politics. Morrison, 55-year-old attorney, the state's 31st chief executive and the 8th Democrat, takes of fice in January. Until then, he says, he doesn't plan to make any major appoint ments. Morrison worked in the Young Democratic organization 20 years ago, and first ran for a major office in 1948, seeking a Congressional seat. The next election he tried for governor but lost in the primary. In 1954 the attorney tried again for Con gress, lieutenant governor in 1956 and in 1958 lost a whirl at the U. S. Senate post now held by Republican Roman Hruska. Morrison admitted in general election , campaigning that he was "raised a Republican" but switched parties In the 1930s. He added that he never votes a straight ticket. Shortly after his election, Mor rison conferred with Republican Gov, Dwight.Burney and made the rounds of the statehouse, getting set for a "smooth trans ition" in January. Morrison carried few counties in the general election and won the chief executive's post by big margins Ik, populous Lancaster and Douglas'counties. Accidents There were 41,670 industrial accidents :in Nebraska last year, an Increase of 4,322. That's the report from Albert Arms, presiding judge of the Nebraska Workmen's Compen sation Court. The total ranked second only to the 1945-46 fiscal year when there were 41,412 mishaps. Dur ing the 1959-60 fiscal year which ended in July, Arms reported, benefits paid out to those injur ed amounted to $4.2 million, compared with $1.5 million in the 1945-46 period. Part of the boost in accidents, the Judge said in an annual re port, can be traced to missile construction work iin Eastern Nebraska. He also felt that employers in the Cornhusker state may be do ing a more thorough job of turn ing in accidents since most of the boost involved less serious types of mishaps. Aged Homes Proposed rules, to become ef fective July 1, 1961, require state licensing for operation of homes for the aged or infirm. The State Board of Health will set up the rules, which also call for complete drawings on loca tion of furniture and fixtures in the homes in all rooms. , The proposed rules also re quire that persons residing in such homes get their mail un opened, have access, to a tele phone, be able to receive visitors in privacy, be allowed to attend church, and see a movie unless good cause can be shown to the contrary. Budget Hearings Budget hearings, jointly by Republican Gov. Dwight Bur ney and Democratic Governor elect Frank Morrison set the stage for government spending the next two years. After, the hearings both men will make recommendations to the next Legislature. One of the big problems will be what to do about higher edu cation which is fighting the sal ary problem yet and competition from other schools for faculty. The University of Nebraska is seeking $5.6 million more in tax funds and the four teachers col leges at Wayne, Chadron, Peru and Kearney $2.7 million more. Final clearing house for state spending is the Legislature. But senators go almost always with recommendations of the import ant budget committee , which holds its own hearings and sub mits figures independent of the governor totals. Switchover It is expected there will be considerable traffic between Nebraska and Washington, D. C. in the coming months. Coming home will be the flock' of Republicans who have served under the administration of President Eisenhower. Replac ing them are expected to be sev eral Nebraska Democrats. One Nebraskan already has a high position in the administra tion of John Kennedy. He is Ted Sorensen, named special council to Kennedy. Sorensen, of Lincoln, and Rob ert Kennedy have been top ad visors to the President-elect. Among those Republicans re turning will be Secretary of In terior Fred Seaton and Ambas sador to Denmark Val Peterson HIE PLATTSMOUTH JOURNAL PAGE TWO Section B Thursday, November 17, 1960 Feeders to New High for Season At Omaha Market Stocker and feeder cattle and calf values moved to still an other new high level for the season, in opening trade this week at Omaha.

THIS COULD BE STOP THAT PICKER! Moisture Key ... To Fertilizing 'Old' Alfalfa LINCOLN Results from ei ther phosphate fertilizer or lime on established stands of alfalfa depends largely on the amount of available soil moisture, a Uni versity of Nebraska agronomist says in reply to a common query by farmers. In some instances it may not pay to topdress old stands of al falfa on upland soils with phos phate fertilizer due to soil mois ture shortage, according to Clin ton Hoover, soils specialist at the College of Agriculture. Alfalfa roots often grow to a depth of 25 feet or more. For the first two to three years, the 'al falfa plant -obtains moisture from the subsoil, Hoover ex plained. After this period, the subsoil becomes depleted of moisture and the crop must then rely entirely on current rain fall, often resulting in lower pro duction. "Under these conditions, re sponse to phosphate fertilizer may be limited, even though soil phosphorus level is low," the University specialist said. "On the other hand, where soil mois ture is adequate, (irrigated or bottomland), good results can be expected from phosphate fer tilizer on established stands of alfalfa. Lime should be applied to acid soils for legumes in order to obtain the most efficient results from applied phosphate fertiliz er. Where lime alone is needed, it can be applied anytime during the year. Results will be better when soil moisture is favorable than under dry soil conditions, Hoover concluded. EACH YEAR, CARELESSNESS in the corn field exacts a ter rible toll of fatalities, maimed limbs and crippling injuries among Nebraska farmers. Many cornpirker accidents have already been reported in the press and-over the air. There is yet a good deal of corn to be picked in many areas, and in each field there lurks the danger of more injuries. Be careful! RUSS MARRIAGE GLAMOR Moscow Love and marriage, especially the marriage cere mony, are the big topics of the day among the Soviet people. All publications are filled with suggestions from readers on how to glamorize marriage, which up to now has been a drab cere mony in a shabby registry of fice. The idea is supported for wedding palaces lifce the first one which opened in Lenin grad, which is lavishly decorat ed and sells everything neces sary for the ceremony. One reason for opening the palaces is to supply a substitute for the church ceremonies whi ch many young Russians are going through nowadays in re action to the bleakness of the official civil marriage.
