Plattsmouth Still Counts Cage Win Plattsmouth Hlfih. still showing coed stretches of basketball he tv. -ton unfortunate streaks in which their own mistakes have been hurting badly,' seeks its first victory here Friday night oi-alnst Blair. Gamp time is 8 p.m. Tlie Reserve tea-ns of the two schools meet at 6:30, Platts mouth striving for its fifth suc-cs-i without lo.s; this season. In the varsity game, Platts mouth will be looking to im prove an offense which has dis played1 bits of brilliance but which has often bogged clown in mechanical errors which are inherent w i t h inexperience. Platt.smouth's U an essentially young team. That lack of game experience showed up again Friday night fit Bishop Ryan High, where the Rltte Devils lost a 62-43 decision. Plattsmouth stayed close as tould be thy first quarter, ex cept for the very end, when Ryan broke a 5-5 tie with five straight points and a 10-5 ad vantage as the quarter ended. Duane Haith's three for four free throws and Rog Beverage's basket were Platt.smouth's of fense that first eight minutes. The second quarter was a re petition. 'Plattsmouth couldn't budge the five point quarter bulge but it stayed within that same range up to the last couple minutes when Ryan, led by Chuck Shimerdla, opened an 11 point intermission lead. Platt.smouth's situation was complicated by the fact that Haith, at 6-3 the tallest player on the court among the start ing alignments, got three fouls in the first quarter. The third quarter tore it for Plattsmouth. Mccormick, a sub stitute center, "came on and threw four straight hook shots home. They led Ryan to a 20-14 advantage for the period and left the Blue Devils in the wake. after The fourth quarter went, 14 12, for Ryan. Haith and Beverage were Plattmouth's pacesetters with 12 points each and Tom Smith contributed eight points at guard, plus contributing some good feeding. Smith, too, lost a couple po tential scores when the Devils made mechanical errors in the front court. Plattsmouth lost four or five baskets that way In that open ing quarter and they couldn't quite get up the steam there after.

This is the report of McCook Conservation Officer Herman Schmidt in the latest Game Com mission hunting report. Birds in his area are bunched up tight in heavy cover due to the snow blanket, Schmidt continued. The 600-plus reported were in the Beaver City-Hendley area. Jack Kiburz and Bob Gash, McCook, and Schmidt got 25 birds in three days, reported "tremendous hunting." From other areas come simi lar reports of pheasants holing up after the ground is covered. "Pheasants are bunched and staying in timbered areas close to farm yards," reported Officer William Anderson, Rushville. He found nine hunters in seven days. With six inches of snow on the ground, Officer Cecil Avey, Crawford, reported improved hunting conditions in Sioux and Dawes counties. He checked seven hunters with 16 birds; all reported seeing good numbers of birds. Pheasant hunting was improv ing in the Grand Island area, reported Officer Fred Salak. Gunners had seen flocks num bering up to 50. John Schiefeld in, Hastings, picked off a limit in the Doniphan area, found a number of big bunches there. The Hastings Naval Depot area also has a heavy population. Only a few goose hunters are out along Lake McConaughy, re ports Officer Loron Bunney, Ogallala, but they are taking their birds steadily. About 1,000 birds are on the lake and the refuge just west. "George Kurkowski, local ex pert at outwitting the Canada, with a partner took four Cana das that weighed in at 42 pounds. ,He admits he has a system, but he's not talking." Harlan County hunters are finding conditions good for field chasing the Reservoir flock, re ports Officer Bill Bonsall, Alma. A few geese are also being taken In Morrill County west of Lisco and west of Bridgeport. Sarpy County Judge Demands Higher Salary County Judge Joseph E. Strawn of Sarpy County has again urged the board of county commissioners take action to have the salary of his office ad justed to comply with the pop ulation figures for the county revealed by the 1960 census. The county judge had address ed a letter to the board of com missioners that, as that census results have shown that the Sar py county population is now shown at 31,000 the salary of the officials be adjusted by reso lution by the county board. "I expect my salary to be $7,000 in 1961 and I don't want any excuses or claims that the county commissioners didn't pass this resolution. Therefore for my own protection this let ter will be my evidence that I have called the matter to your attention." Judge Strawn was elected to a new four year term in No vember. His current salary is $5,500 a year.

Nebraska as second class malJ matter In accordance with the Act of Coneresa of Trapping in Full Swing ' LINCOLN The Nebraska Game Commission's antelope trapping program received a big boost last week when 104 more grey ghosts were released in the Sand Hills. This was the second trapping of the winter season, and was carried off 25 miles north of Harrison. Some 152 animals were hazed into the trap by cowboyTpilot Wayne Chord, Al liance conservation officer. The initial group equalled the largest catch made last year, acclaimed one of the West's largest single trappings. Part of the animals, however, jumped the fence, an unusual trick of pronghorns which would rather scoot under. Logan County, scene of last week's release of 48 antelope, received 64 of the animals from the trapping; the rest were trucked to a point 35 miles south of Cody between the Niobrara and Snake rivers. The trapping will continue In northwestern Nebraska through out the winter. Since initiation of the transplant three years ago, 693 antelope have been moved from western Nebraska and ad joining states to the Sand Hills. Vhe child's sob corseth deep er in the silence.

Global Weather Central, at Offutt Has New Device OFFUTT AFB About New Year's Day the Global Weather Central in the Strategic Air Command underground com mand post here will start using a new electronic device to draw the weather maps it Issues In support of SAC. The Central, officially desig nated Detachment 1 of 3rd Wea ther Wing, daily produces fore cast charts for five levels of the atmosphere up to 55,000 feet for the entire northern hemisphere. The new device, an automatic data plotter produced by Elec tronic Associates of Long Branch N. J. will draw one of these maps in two and a half minutes. The same task now takes a fore caster 30 to 45 minutes. The new machine works in conjunction with the Air Weather Service unit's IBM 7090 electron ic computer that went into op eration November 24. These two pieces of electronic equipment, when fully operational early next spring, should greatly speed the preparation of fore casts for use of Strategic Air Command and other USAF commands. Using SAC's IBM 704 compu ter (which,, S considerably slow er than the newer IBM 7090) and hand-drawn charts, it took 3d Weather Wing experts almost seven and a half hours to com plete all charts and forecasts. With the new computer and data plotter the charts and forecasts will be on the transmission lines within an hour and a half. The system works this way: Weather observations from all over the world come Into Global Weather Central and are fed into the computer. The com puter makes forecasts based, on the data. These forecasts are "printed" on a magnetic tape, telling air pressure, wind speed and directions, temperature, and humidity at hundreds of re quired points on a map of the northern hemisphere. Up to now the data from this tape has been printed on a large northern hemisphere map. The weathermen had to search out points of equal value and con nect them with hand-drawn lines. The data plotter will act upon the data on the tape, searching out points of equal value, and draw connecting lines for all values. In addition, the plotter will automatically identify the value of each line it draws. This chart, computed by the IBM 7090 and drawn by the data plotter, is then transmitted to all SAC bases and other points over a facsimile network (an electronic system of sending whole maps or pictures to many places at once). With this increased speed in forecasting and mapping, 3rd Weather Wine will give SAC an improved product faster than ever before. . . . about the Weather Does a mild winter always mean bumper crops in the sum mer and fall ahead? A mild winter, contrary to what people believe, is not necessarily the best thing for trees and plants which pro-j duce salable products. Some trees and plants require; so many cold night during the winter. If they do not receive! this cooling process which, con trols the dormant period, they are likely to produce little or bear too early, or both. j Thus an average winter Is i better than an extremely cold or an extremely warm one. And there has been little change in our average winter weather over the years despite the fact that elderly people usually think the weather was colder in their childhood. It was slightly cold er but the difference in the average winter at the turn of the century and today is rela tively minor. Little children are still the symbol of the eternal marriage between love and duty. George Eliot. Call Your News And Social Items to 241 1 John F.
