The one family in four suffers the deaths and serious injuries in farm, home, and highway accidents, says Rollin Schnieder, Extension safety specialist at the University of Nebraska. Being one of the "happy three'' does not guaran tee that you will stay accident free. Safety, like liberty, re quires eternal violence. The lamily may be vigilant by: lac ing the fact that hazards do ex ist; removing hazards that can be removed; recognizing that accidents do not always happen to the other guy. George Smathers, U. S. Sen ator from Florida: "In the new Congress I shall introduce leg - islation to amend the Constitu - tionso that electoral votes would be divided according to the pop - ular vote received." -Missiles (Continued from Page 1) bombers in providing our coun try with the modern mixedforce of missiles and bombers neces sary to maintain our security. Then, in explaining the reason for placing of Atlas Intercontin ental Ballistic Missiles in Ne braska, Colonel Corbin stated: "To be effective as a deterrent force, and effective it must be if we are to survive, our long- range jet bombers and missiles must be dispersed over as wide an area as possible. This disper sal of retaliatory forces is neces sary to make it as near to im possible as we can for an enemy to knock us out before we can strike back." "This is why" he said, "the Strategic Air Command must spread out its forces over vast areas heretofore remote from military activities directly linked with our Nation's defense; why Atlas Missile crews will soon be living In a number of towns and cities throughout Nebraska." Following an interesting, in formative color film wheh co vered the development and con struction phases of the giant Atlas, Mr. Frederick J. Chil dress, who represents Conviar Astronautics, spoke in consider able detail on the local-site con struction programs. In discussing the Atlas Missile "Silo" type site being construc ted near Avoca and at other lo cations in Nebraska, Mr. Chil dress gave out some impressive statisticsv "The silo" he pointed out, "is a round hole measuring 52 feet across and 174 feet deep. During excavation, 71,000 cubic yards of earth are moved. The sides of the silo are made of rein forced concrete that runs from about two feet thick at the bot tom to about 9 feet thick at the top. Some 1,000 ready-mix true? loads of concrete are needed to pour the 6,000 cubic yards of concrete that go into the silo walls." j Childress went on" to describe the engineering ingenuity invol ved in the silo construction. "The steel frame-work within the silo" he said, "is equal in height to an 18-story building, weighs 1,500 tons and hangs, shock mounted on giant steel springs as big around and as long as a telegraph pole." I According to Mr. Childress the shock mountings allows a two foot "rattle space" between the framework and the concrete sides of the silo to prevent dam age from earth tremors. He also called attention to the fact that the Atlas sites will have their own source of elec trical power and will be able to generate enough power to sup ply an average city of 30,000 population. Then touching on the control roc.n which adjoins the silo, Chi dress pointed out that the electrical wiring necessay for launch control would stretch from Lincoln to Dallas, Texas. In closing, the Convair repre sentative turned to the subject of local civilian employment. "It has been estimated," Childress said, "that at the peak of the construction operation, the monthly payroll for the com bined agencies will run about one and three-quarters million dollars. The Convair payroll will run about three-quarters of a million. There will be a gradual buildup of civilian personnel which will reach a peak in mid 1961 of almost 2600 families." "About 1000 of these families" he said, "will be relocated into the Lincoln and southern Ne raska area, and many will be looking for houses to rent in the towns close to the silos." Childress said that it is Con vair policy to hire locally as many qualified people as pos sible and that present forecasts call for hiring some 5 to 6 hun dred local people between March and August of 1961. To facilitate hiring, Convair-Astronautics will open an employment office sometime in March and will have a representative travel from town to town to interview applicants. Mr. Childress' portion of the program was followed by Lt. Col. Frederick H. Marsh, Mis sile Maintenance Officer for Lin coln Air Force Base who told the people of Avoca what they can expect when the Atlas Mis sile site is finally an Air Force operated unit. Lt. Col. Marsh, well- known as a speaker throughout the Lln- 1 coin area, emphasized that the I Atlas Intercontinental Ballistic LMifisile will never be fired from these silo sites unless the 1 United States is under attack; and then, only upon the Presi dent's order. Then, the missile officer went on to explain the extensive safety meaures employed in operating the sites and assured his. audi ence that the chance of an ac cidental nuclear explosion was "nil." Elaborating on this point, the Strategic Air Command mis sile expert said, "We have never had on accidental detonation in the fifteen years of handling weapons. The arming device is so designed that the warhead is not activated until the missile is well on its way to a target area thousands of miles away." On the brighter side of the picture, Lt. Col. Marsh said that on an average there would be twelve Air Force families in need of housing at each of the missile sites. "Each site," he said, "will be manned by 20 men, half officers and half air men." At the conclusion of Marsh's presentation which included col or slides, Colonel Corbin invited the audience to take part in an open session in which he and the other two speakers would answer questions. Serenity Key To Slendcrness? If you want to get or stay slender, doctors advise you to stop worrying and be serene. Experiments 1 show that the body tends to put on extra pad ding as a buffer against life's stresses and strains and this in cludes worry. People under these conditions put on extra weight without realizing it. When the tension disappears the body often rids itself of ex cess water with a consequent loss of weight. It is true that certain person ality types eat unnecessary food during periods of worry and ten sion. This is an unconscious ef fort to find relief. The large a mounts of food in the stomach draw blood away from other parts of the- body the brain in cluded, to aid in digestion. Thus, the worried person finds himself in a somewhat dulled state. The old expression "fat and happy'' is misleading. Face-lilting operatipns can help people who can afford the expense of such surgery to ap pear younger. However, the ef fect is not long-lasting and should never be done on any one with signs of emotional instability. The best results come in re moving excess skin on the up per neck and eyeiids. The least sucess results from trying to remove horizontal forehead lines and perpendicular lines on the lips. Complete sucess in re moving wrinkles on the cheeks is not possible. The improve ment lasts about five years. Far too many -patients fair into the hands of quaks. SEED DIRECTORY AVAIABLE The new 1960-61 fall and win ter edition of the Nebr. Certi fied Seed Directory is now avail able, according to Richard Mills, associate manager of the Ne braska Crop Improvement As sociation. This directory lists the certi fied seed growers of hybrid corn, hybrid sorghum, oats, spring barley, bromegrass, allalfa, Sud an, sweet clover, soybeans, sorghum ' varieties and other grasses. In general, Mills says, there are three requirements for Ne braska certified seed. First, only varieties approved by the Ne braska Agricultural Experiment Station may be certified. Sec ond, the field and seed must be inspected prior to harvest to see that it is free of noxious weeds, varietal mixture and disease.. Third, the seed must pass the requirements established for germination and purity in the laboratory before it can be sold as Nebraska Certified.

Good Livestock Management Can Reduce Winter Losses LINCOLN Good livestock! management during winter months can save farmers and ranchers an estimated $1,500 in losses each year. "Most of these losses are caused by diseases that slow growth -thus wasting valuable leed, time, equipment and labor. Death loss, extra labor and med ication as well as damages to hides, wool and lowered sale value also are importantr states Dr. E. Crosby Howe, Extension veterinarian at the University of Nebraska. "Cold weather causes added stress on farm animals. This fact coupled with close confine ment and damp, drafty barns aids spread of disease. Respira tory diseases such as colds and pneumonia are more important during winter months." Dr. Howe says many of these diseases could be prevented by providing good nutrition and sanitation, avoiding over crowd ing, and supplying plenty of good clean water free of ice. "This item of management is one that is usually most neglect ed by the average stockman. Too many times they depend on antibiotics and other chemical feed additives or treatment af ter the animals have become sick!' Dr. Howe states. "Some authorities say that animals are over crowded on 6 out of every 10 farms. This is a costly practice as it causes live stock loss through injury and disease. Here are the causes and symp toms of the more common di seases: PNEUMONIA This disease is more prevalent in the winter than in summer. Disease condi tions such as scours, colds, flue, and shipping fever may lead to the development of pneumonia Stress factors such as poor or: crease since 1954. improper feed, over crowding, "it is apparent that as dairy wet drafty quarters also may herds become larger, milking lead to pneumonia. machines become a part of the The first symptoms of pneu- labor saving equipment on dairy monia are lack of appetite, loss j farms.

Over-crowding should be avoided to reduce teat and udcier injuries. Proper milk ing procedure as outlined in Ex tension Circular 60-635 should be practiced at all times. "When sudden deaths occur there is usually a cause other than "a heart attack." The vet erinarian should be called to make an autopsy to determine the cause' of death. It could be the beginning of a disease out break which could be prevented by finding out why the animal died," according to Dr. Howe. "It is important to call your veterinarian as soon as possible after finding the dead animal so that he will have a better chance ' to fi'id the cause. Even in cold weather, post mortem changes " occur quite rapidly after death. This is especially true with sheep or with animals in a warm barn. "The veterinarian also can" help plan livestock operations, Dr. Howe points out." "The vet- ' erinarian also should be called to check operations at regular intervals." Proper Use, Care of Milk Machine Vital LINCOLN Since milking machines are used on more farms every year, it is very important that they be used and cared for properly, says C. W. Nibler, Extension dairyman at the University of Nebraska. The 1959 agricultural census shows that Nebraska farmers own and operate 15,513 milking machines an 11 per cent in- tions on care and operation should be carefully followed." "It is important to have a steady vacuum all the way from
