EDITORIALS Weather Forecast The latest weather forecast indicates we are in for a severe winter in the 1960 Cl season which is now only little more than h month away. Winter this year be gins December 21st. The experts say the last pf the pre sent autumn will be cooler than average for most of the nation especially from Virginia south in the East, from. Iowa south in the middle of the country and from Nevada south in the West. Though we are in a cycle of gradually warming weather figured in periods of fifty and a hundred and several hundred years a temporary departure from the longer-term trend is supposed to mean colder winters than those of recent years. The length of sunshine, per day, will l)gin to increase December 22nd but the coldest weather will still lie ahead. This is because the earth will have lost most of its stored heat by January and February when the coldest weather usually oc curs. The year 19G0 brought us a late sum mer and a late autumn in most sections. Dut winter, it's said, will arrive on sched ule and be severe. For those who like snow and ice and fires and blustery nights, this coming winter should fit the bill. About 1965, the forecasters say, winters will be gin warming again. If you dread the colder winters, re member if there were no variety of sea sons weather would get monotonous and you would not appreciate the warmer sea sons when they came. So it's all arranged pretty well, after all. t Down Memory Lane tr YEARS AGO V Cass County Voiture of the 40 & 8 held a testimonial dinner at their club room honoring Dr. P. T.

SAC An advanced elec tronic device capable of depic ting positions of aircraft and missiles thousands of miles away is being installed at SAC Head quarters. The plotting system, called Iconorama, can keep track of all approaching aerospace ve hicles. Aerial "intruders" are detected by the Distant Early Warning radar net work and the Ballistic Missile Early Warning System and recorded on the Iconorama. When an unidentified aero space vehicle is picked up on radar, it is simultaneously re layed to the North American Air Defense Command Headquarters at Colorado Springs, Colo., and SAC. This reduces the amount of time required to report and plot suspected aerial intruders and thus provides additional warning to NORAD or SAO forces. By projecting automatically drawn tracks on a large screen the new system can do the work of six men at the old clear-plastic plotting boards used since World War II. The screen can also depict the route and possible impact area of approaching missiles. Attached to the Iconorama screen is a level-of-threat warn ing panel which Indicates warn-! ing of missile attack and esti- mated number of missiles in flight , Traces made by the planes be- ing tracked are marked on a on the Iconorama. The slide plot measures only one inch square, yet overall error of the project ed display is said to be about one part in 1,000. As many slides as are needed may oe used to cover a given situation. Each is projected on the viewing screen in its own j or stiffness during mixing, was!havvka; Mcrlc IIarvty Backe identifying color; altered drastically from normal! "leyer and Joyte, EIaine M"ltr' When the slirips hpcnmp filler! with tracks, or the situation is ! over, the slides are automat-; ically replaced. Each removed ; slide can be filed as part of the! flight record of the plane it re-j presents. LOOT TIED TO DOORKNOB Nashville, Mich. When Mrs. A. D.

Not a One, Necessarily How many persons will die in fires during the Christmas hol iday? "Not a one, necessarily," the National Safety Council declared today. "The grim picture of frequent fires at Christmas does not need to be not if people take' a few precautions." The Council cited these facts about fires 1. More than 1,000 persons died last year in December Ag Research Work Still Shows Promise By Pearle F. Finigan State Director of Agriculture Work with iron compounds in reaction with starch at Mid west Research Institute con tinues to show promise. According to the Midwest's latest progress report on pro ject dealing with the utilization of starch, one possible product that could result from the work is a "monoaldehyde" starch which could become the basis for a commercial process involv ing large-scale starch utiliza tion. Industrial Amendment The passage of the Constitu tional Amendment which gives Nebraska's communities author ity to issue revenue bonds to build industrial sites may con siderably influence Nebraska's industrial future. A recent article in Business Week magazine recounts how Tampa, Florida turned a 1,000 acre abandoned airport into a modem industrial park that to day houses nine companies em ploying 1,600 persons. Passage of the admendment shows a majority of Nebraskans no longer "like Nebraska the way it was," but want the state to aggressively move forward. Whether or not Nebraska will move forward with the aid of the industrial site amendment is in the hands of local com munities who can use it to their advantage or ignore its possi bilities. The Department of Agricul ture and the Division of Re sources, however, will exploit the amendment to its fullest potential In seeking to interest new industry in Nebraska. -Castor Beans Harvest returns on the 1960 experimental acreage of castor beans in South Central Nebr aska indicate the program was successiul in proving that castor is a crop for Nebraska. Yields of over 2,000 pounds per acre have been reported. The production goal set by those working on the program was 1,500 to 1,800 pounds per acre. With this yield, castor can hold its own with corn as a cash crop for southern Nebraska. Continued expansion of Nebr aska's castor acreage may also contribute to the State's in dustrial future by luring in dustries that use this industrial raw material. Metabisulfite Shouldn't Be Used on Wheat LINCOLN A new product containing sodium metabisul fite which has just recently come on the market is causing much concern among flour mil lers and members of the grain trade, a University of Nebraska specialist said this week. Duane Foote, secretary of the Nebraska Grain Improvement Association, said the product is designed to control mold growth in high-moisture corn and grain s01,um u0!"? stTd, feed' Although it is not sold for use " WI'Cttl" " ietutu tne pioduct might be used by farn!ers or e!evatr operators to I! plained "Products containing sodium metabisulfite have shown dras tic effects on wheat gluten qua lity," he continued. "Peak time or mixing time has been cut three or four minutes, mixing tolerance index, which measures drop-off of dough consistency in .in,i ,,v,iii-o ency," he said. Use of sodium metabisulfite on grain which will be used for! seed or wheat entering market1 channels should be avoided, Foote stressed. The chemical re leases sulfur dioxide, and it is reported that four to six weeks may be required before the characteristic pungent odor leaves the treated grain, the crops official said 'Germination Is d e c r e a s e d month when most fire deaths occurred. 2. Chief victims are the very young children under 5 and persons 75 years of age or more. 3. In recent years, more than half a million homes have been struck by fire. 4. Fire losses in the home will total more than 300 million dol lars this year. To keep yourself and your loved ones from becoming fire victims, the National Safety Council makes these life-saving suggestions: Don't let gift wrapping ac cumlate so they become a fire hazard. Don't smoke In' bed. And at holiday get-togethers, use deep ash trays that will hold burning cigarettes securely. Check your Christms tree wir ing for possible shorts. Better to buy a new string of lights than to risk having tragedy visit your home. Don't leave the Christmas tree lights buring If. you're away from home or out of the room for long. Don't put your -tree up too early. And don't leave It up so long It gets dried out. Keep it moist. ( Metallic Christmas trees are fine if you use the floor floodlights most manufacturers recommend. Don't risk a death dealing short by putting a string of lights on a metallic tree. County Court Robert L Breckenrldge, Teka mah, $16, speeding; Norman J. Keegan, Omaha, $18, speeding; Gilbert V.
