With fall coming on and more high pressure areas expected, it is good to know the path of these fair - weather systems. General ly speaking, they always travel east. They move in over the United States from California, or that vicinity and move almost due east, in the southern part of the country. Some cross in near the Wash ington and Philadelphia. Others come in over the Great Lakes region and move out to sea a bove New York. Cold systems, unlike warm fronts, move generally down ward slightly, as they cross the country. Their center seldom crosses lower Texas or Florida peninsula. From now through the winter you will experience more and more of them.

NEBMSRA Nebraska University At football games and pep ral lies around the University of Ne braska campus this fall, the .-trains of "There is no place like Nebraska, Dear old Nebras ka U" have often been heard, as they have been by many gen erations of University students. They think little of the fact that the school they attend is the University of Nebraska, and the title "Nebraska U." or Nebraska University does not apply to the Cornhu.4ker school. Actually there was a Nebras ka University once in Nebraska over 100 years ago. It started with high hopes that it would be the great educational institu tion of the state. This school was opened in 1858 r.t Fontenel le founded by the members of the Quiney colony Vho had es tablishes Fontcr.elle. It "was a senool established under the auspices of the Con gregational Church, but the in tention of the organizers was that it would be Nebraska's par amount college. Nebraska University at Fon tenelle was only one of a num ber of colleges charatered by the territorial legislature dur inc the territorial neriod. The school established at Peru, which has become Peru State Teachers College, is perhaps the one of these schools with a most direct line of descent. Nebraska University has had its identity preserved as it be came a part of Doane College at Crete and has been incorporated into that institution, as has Bellevue College in Hastings College. Other territorial institu tions have also been preserved in this manner. The Nebraska University of the 1850 s did not have a calm and peaceful existence as a school be fore its abandonment and subsequent incluions in the Crete school. Its first establish ment was in part a gesture to develop . a center ' in the new territory that could claim and gain the territorial Capitol for the new settlement at Fontenel le. This hope in part provided for its name. fully lor a time. However, a lire in 1865 destroying the main building of the school dealt it a blow from which it never re covered. There was an attempt to. con tinue the school after the fire, but decisions on the location of the state Capitol, the location of the railroad to miss Fontenel le and the fire were too much for the college to survive. In '"1869 and 70 the Congre gational General Association voted first to withdraw support from the Fontenelle School, and then appointed a committee to study higher education. This committee recommended the establishment of Doane Col lege, and Nebraska University ceased to be. Sheep Health Clinic Dec. 10 LINCOLN Nebraska sheep producers will have an opportu nity to learn more about three major sheep disease problems at a sheep health clinic scheduled here Dec. 10 at the College of Agriculture. Ted Doane, Extension animal husbandman, has announced that state, federal and college authorities in animal health and veterinary medicine will discuss the scabies (scab) eradication program among sheep flocks in the state; external and internal sheep parasities; and the situa tion on scrapies, a dangerous disease now confronting sheep men. Scrapies is a relatively new disease that affects a sheep's nervous system, Doane explain ed. The economic importance of these sheep maladies will be emphasized, Doane said, along with causes and methods of control. The clinic will get underway at 10:15 a.m. It will be follow ed at 1 p.m. by the 1960 annual bred ewe sale, sponsored by the Nebraska registered sheep breed ers association. This event, also to be held on the agricultural college campus, will feature auc tion of ewes representing seven breeds Hampshire, Suffolk, Shropshire, Southdown, Che viot, Corriedale, and Dorset.

He and his son Don oper ate the Cotner Bus Lines, mak ing daily trips to Omaha and return. On Oct. 5, 1920 Mr. Cotner purchased the taxi of Charles Tilson beginning his "bus ser vice", and in July 1926 he bought a nine passenger bus, common ly referred to as the "Tooner villle Trolley." During the war years the bus dispatched 2.400 riders daily to and from the Martin Bomber Plant. In 1947 he expanded to a 29 passenger Buick Bus the pre sent operating bus) and took his son Don as a partner, a Navy veteran. Prior to this time Mr. Cotner was always the driver, and has the distinction of 40 years driv ing with no accidents. The past three years he has been an in active driver due to his health. Mr. Cotner has always made his home here. The discontinuing of the bus service will be greatly felt by the communicants. No definite plans are in store for the two Cotner families. Both men will enjoy a rest, since vacations have been an im possibility in the past.

School Boards and Pupils During school hours, the gen eral education and control of the pupils are In the hands of the school board. This control is exercised through the superin tendent, principals, and the teachers. It extends to health, safety and behavior of the pupils while the authority of the par ents is temporarily superseded. This is necessary for it is their duty to teach and educate the pupils in their charge. Each school board has the au thority to make the necessary rules for the government and Health of the pupils. It must also devise means to se cure the regular attendance and progress of children at school. Under this authority the pupils may be held on the school pre mises during the school hours. Those pupils who drive cars can be prohibited from driving their cars during the noon re cess. So long as the rules are reasonable and are designed for the purpose of securing the regular attendance and pro gress of the pupils they are valid. School hours include the time that pupils are normally in school. The authority of the school board also extends to those periods when the pupils are engaged in a school function outside the school hours. It has also been indicated that this interest of the school board ex tends to those periods when the pupils are either going to and from school or a school function. Pupils guilty of gross misde BELTS J "v iff SLACKS KNIT SHIRTS PAJAMAS Your One Stop Shopping Center oennichsen' meanors or persistent disobed ience may be suspended or ex pelled whenever the interest of the school demands it. This is one of the methods the school authorities have to enforce dis cipline. Whether or not punishment such as spanking may be used has not been ruled on by the courts of this state, but this would seem to depend on the circumstances.
