r THE PLATTSMOUTH, NCERASKA, SriYII-WEEKLY JOURNAL PAGE SIX Section B Thursday, December 15, 1960 Private Promotion Needed in Sound Industrial Development P.v Prnrle P. Finigan Mate Director of Agriculture Promoting sound industrial dcv( liipment makes it necessary lor p.dvernmentul agencies to discover promising industrial development projects and then promote them with private busi nessmen and farmers. An analysis of Nebraska's cas tor bean program indicates several eood ways to discover promising new industrial oppor tunities for Nebraska. Follow ing are several approaches learned from the castor pro gram : Study Imports. We found that over M" of the country's do mestic requirements for castor oil comes from imports. Study available skills and ma terials. It was immediately ap parent that Nebraska's major skill Is In farming and our great est raw material is agricultural products. Review old projects. In ex-1 amiriing the records, we found ! ket or prohibitive costs, that present strains of hybrid j The remaining opportunities castor beans were developed in should be subjected to intensive Nebraska in the 1940s and ex-: economic and technical screen perimental work was carried on j ing. After passing these tests, by the university or NeDrasKa into the 1050s. This work, how ever, wsa abandoned before reaching commercial stages in Nebraska. Apply technology. The key to developing commercial castor beans in Nebraska was the me chanical harvester which was developed in the last few years. Observe experience elsewhere. Visiting devolpments in Texas and California suggested that castor beans might be success ful in Nebraska. 5 w F ,1 V X ya I M- y l-Jf.f P ;.1'U T.-vS t ,.rtfTd. 8 rm "Hrf 4439 DEC60M.P. 63 If in doubt, give a man white shirts for Christmas, because there's no doubt that any man can always use more of qq them than he has .70 If SOENNICHSEN'S Hmtmas calls jfrM pial Plastic Lace TABLE CLOTHS 25 Inch PLASTIC DOLL Reg. $4.98 , Value SPECIAL $3.98 TIMCO 35 Light Miniature Tree Lights $2.19 Other Light Sets 98c up 1 -Lb. 20 VARIETIES Chocolates SPECIAL 98c 5c & 10c Several further steps are ap parent if Nebraska is to fully capitalize on the establisment of castor as a commercial crop. An examination of interindus try relationships is necessary since many good opportunities are to be found in or diversify ing industries already estab lished. Logical new projects that should be promoted are castor oil processing and refining plants. Then industries that con vert castor oil into foams and plastics become logical objects for promotion. Through the use of the above approaches, it should be possible to compile a long list of possible opportunities that might be parc tical for promotion in Nebraska. With the aid of economists and engineers such as we are now using at Midwest Research In stitute, the screening should be continued until most of the pos sibilities have been eliminated for such reasons as lack of mar their financial soundness in Ne- braska's economy should be evaluated and finally a vigorours attempt at promoting them should be undertaken. The lessons learned in pro moting castor in Nebraska hiay well provide some of the keys to Nebraska economic future in agriculture and industry.

J. Sanders of the Nebraska Safety Patrol outlined seven rules today for avoiding "slip ups" on slippery roads of early winter. 1. Learn to adjust your speed to varying road, weather and traffic conditions. 2. Get the "feel" of the road by trying your brakes or gently pressing your accelerator while driving slowly and away from traffic on snowy or icy days. 3. Follow other vehicles at a safe distance. You may find it hard to explain why you couldn't stop when the driver ahead did. 4. Pump your Drakes rapidly to maintain best steering con trol when braking on ice or slippery snow. This gives short intervals of maximum braking separated by short intervals of effectvie steering while front wheels are rolline. Signal your intention to turn or stop well in advance, as a means of alerting the driver behind regarding your plans to turn or come to a halt. 6. Keep your windshield and windows clear. You must see danger in time to avoid it. Be sure your windshield wiper arms and blades are in, good condition and have recommended arm pressure to sweep rain, snow and sleet off instead of sliding over it. 7. Have good tires snow tires if you prefer, and always carry a pair of reinforced tire chains for . severe conditions. Tests show that chains cut stop ping distances in half and give four to seven times more "go" traction often needed on snow or ice. Colonel Sanders declared, "Be tween now and March some se vere snow and ice conditions will cover our streets and highways. By following these fundamental rules we can overcome these hazards that face us each win ter." John F. Kennedy, President elect: "Automation can represent hope rather than despair ... It will require the ability to adapt to the necessary changes and a high degree of industrial states manship."
