What Is Cystic Fibrosis? I?y State of Nebraska Dept. or Health Only within comparatively re cent years have We been hear ing much about Cystic Fibrosis. For a long time this disease was not recognized as distinct because of its similarity to as thma, bronchitis, allergy, and celiac disease. Still little known but far from rare, it has been taking the lives of many chil-; dren. 1 The disease has been under study for more than 20 years, j but as yet a few people, even physicians, know much about it. ! Research holds the key to the cure, but because so little lias been heard or known about it, Interest has been lacking, funds have been limited, and the cause and cure remain un known Indications are that the most likely cause is a chemical or ' ' Doll-Yourself BOOKKEEPING AND TAX RECORD BOOKS no p.ri.nc. ne.d.d Prices: 3.50. $4.95. $6 95, $9 95 Alto Budget Book.

As a rale, cases involving only the pancreas are mild, those in volving tue lungs are more f.cvere, and those involving both the pancreas and the lungs are the most severe. The incidence of cystic fibro sis is estimated at about one in every COO live births in white people. It is uncommon in the Negio and Oriental races. The disease ii both hereditary and congenital, and among children of families in which it occurs, tiie incidence U about one in every lour. Bclcre the advent antibiotics, pancreatic fibrosis was consid ered almost uniformly fatal at an early age. As far as is known, it is not outgrown. Chances lor successful control are increased by early diagnosis and treat ment. Some of the symptoms appear shortly after birth but they may be so slight as to not be particularly noticed. Because knowledge about the di.'.easa is limited, in spite of it being so deadly, too often prec ious time is lost as children are treated for some other disease while fibrosis is sapping their vitality and choking off their air supply by clogging the lungs with a thick mucus at the same time it is starving the body by blocking the pancreas. Professional education and research are urgently needed, but community and parent ed ucation and public information are equally important.

The state's population seizes upon this feature as something with which they want to identify themselves. For example, Tex as, with as much pride as any in our nation, bases its pride on such things as the heroic defense of the Alamo. We may point out with complete ac curacy that the men at the Alamo were not "Texans," they were recent arrivals in Texas from all over the American frontier, but to Texans the men who fought at the Alamo have ever since exemplified heroic qualities unique to Texas. Both Virginia and Massachusetts-look with pride cm their role as leaders in bringing a bout American Independence. Ohloans look upon themselves as being from, the state that is mother of Presidents. Florida and California are apt to wear the patience of the rest of the nation a bit thin at times boast ing -about their climate. Nebraskans have never found a completely satisfactory fea ture with which to identify themselves. With a strong sense of what formed a major portion of our rich heritage we have groped .for a symbol in the toughness and unyieldingness of our pioneers. The Sod House or ganization, the Blizzard of '88 Club, continuing stories of the grasshoppers of the 1870's all build on this idea, but no single event has been completely ac cepted as a symbol of the state's greatness. Military progress of j Nebraskans has been amply ' rfpmnnstrnfprt In it. nnt, in n sit uation which we have complete ly adopted as a state symbol. For example, the Pawnee Scouts of the North Brothers were ro mantic enough, but Nebraskans of 1870 were not willing to ac cept an Indian unit as their symbol. Some states, as Iowa, have ac cepted agricultural excellence as a source of state pride, the "Tall Corn State." Nebraskans have not accepted agriculture production completely because of the diversity ot the major crops that we produce. Nebraskans of the 20th Cent ury have a real and abiding af fection for their state, but they often have difficulty in express ing in two or three simple well known phrases why we are proud of Nebraska. The inven tion of, and giving currency to, two or three ideas for Nebras kans to nail their pride to is a leal opportunity for an out standing Nebraskan leader. wP UAVS A STBONQ BONO THAT KEEPS US TCGETHty. 17 LS SAVING? tA -J1.

The tools for this job are modern, improved management methods and the proper use of needed nutrients. "By using these tools wisely, a farmer can build up low-yielding land to high-prolit fertility level," Knudsen says. "Such a procedure will pay off in lower costs of crop production and increased net income per acre. "In determining the kinds and quantities of nutrients needed to produce money-making yields, soil tests can be particularly LOUISVILLE Mrs. Ralph Wiidnck Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Dunn and children of Omaha were Monday morning callers at the home of Mr. and Mrs. George Eauers. .

The Pawnee Indians On Oct. 22 a new mural was unveiled in the Genoa National Bank, depicting some of the events in the history of the Pawnee Indians. A pictorial pre sentation of the Pawnee is ejpecialy appropriate at Genoa as this town was the headquar ters of the reservation that the Pawnee occupied in Nebraska from 1857 to 1875. Before they moved to Okla homa in 1875 the Pawnee had inhabited Nebraska and had been our most important Indian tribe lor a long period of time. Po.-silJiy Coronado and his ex pedition contacted them in 1541, certain and delinite contact with them was made by the Spanish before 1700. Archeologi. cai evidence indicates that they were in the area by 1500. They or their immediate an cestors had been in the state for many years before that. The Pawnee occupied much of Ne braska and a portion of north ern Kansas, living along the Platte and Republican River Valleys with a strong concen tration on the" lower Loup River towards its confluence with the Platte neat , Columbus and claiming the territory north to the Niobrara. The Pawnee had characteris tics of tribes both to their east and west. They spent a portion cf their year In permanent vil lages as did tribes further east, and another part of the year on a buffalo hunt living as a migratory tribe, comparable to the tribe3 found further west on the high plains. The Pawnee were divided into four bands whose English names were The Grand, The Republi can, The Tappage and The Wolf. The first three named .SS -tin, Christmas ...

In their perman ent homes the Pawnee lived in earth lodges, each lodge hous ing a complete family or clan. The Villages of the Pawnee were sizeable, some of them having 1,0(10 or more inhabit ants. The Pawnee were primar ily a farming people and de pended to a great degree upon their production of corn lor food. They developed their religion about the symbol of c o r n, as contrasted to buffalo centered ceremonies characteristic of the Indians further west. At the same time they went on extend ed buffalo hunts and used the buffalo a great deal. The Pawnee suffered a dis astcrous military defeat from the Sioux at Massacre Canyon in 1873. After that defeat they moved to a reservation in Okla homa, i Call Your News And Social Items tc 241 KEEP BOOKS HOW TO for your Farm or Ranch The IDEAL SYSTEM Bookkeeping and Tax Record Book v No bookkeeping experience neeied.
