LETTERBOX Gentlemen: Your current series of articles, "Cass Countian of the Week," by Ruth Miller have been outstand ing in their subject matter. Of particular interest to me per sonally were the articles about Mr. Carl Day of Weeping Water, Miss Evelyn Wolph of Nehawka, and Miss Myrtle Wood of Wa bash. My husband and I are native Cass Countians, and formerly lived in Plattsmouth, so the semi-weekly visits of the Journ al to our home mean much to us, even though we left Platts mouth sixteen long years ago. We hope that you will continue the present series of articles a bout these wonderful people, many of whom are personal friends or acquaintances of ours. Yours very truly, Mrs. C. R. Olson N. 4804 Washington St. Spokane 19, Wash. Mills 2956 Alvin Bornemier. Mrs. Fred Stock is in Bryan Memorial hospital and expects to undii'-go surgery in the near luture.

'Make Every Week Farm Safety Week7 National Farm Safety Week, July 23-29, is a good time for farm families to stop and think of the fact that safety is a family affair. Many times children are the victims of accidents involving farm families, says R o 1 1 i n Schniedor, University of Nebras ka Extension safety specialist. In most cases, accidents involv ing children could have been prevented if they or some other member of the family had ade quate training in safety. Schnieder suggests that each family get together and discuss how they might perform their daily activities in a safe manner. "If the farm family thinks of safe practices as a means of doing thingsrather than as a set of do's and clon'ts, accident pre vention will become a way of life that will preserve the lives of farm families," Schnieder points out. It is up to each individual to see that he follows safe practices on the farm, in the home, at play and on the highway. None of us can afford economic loss to say nothing of the personal tragedy wrought by farm accidents. Let's strive to make every week, FARM SAFETY WEEK. Clarence Schmadeke, County Extension Agent. Historical Events Response At Club Sunbonnet Garden Club met at the home of Mrs. Max Bowman Thursday afternoon. Roll call was answered with historical events. During the business meeting plans were made for the picnic at the home of Mrs. Lee East ridge in August. Lesson was given by Mrs. Bowman. The Dawn Redwood, which was originated in China 20,000,000 years ago brought to America in 1948. Social hour followed. Games were played and prizes won by Mrs. Lee Spry, Mrs. Lee East ridge and Mrs. Ray Farlander. Hostess served lunch. Non-Resident Anaglers More LINCOLN Nonresident hunt ers may have gotten all the play last year, but nonresident ang lers built up an even greater in crease, percentagewise, in per mits bought over the previous year. Figures released today by the Game Commission show that 1960 nonresident fishermen buy ing annual permits in Nebraska more than doubled over 1959, from 3,290 to 7,850. That is a 139 per cent increase; short-term permit buyers remained about the same. Nonresident hunters increased a healthy 68 per cent, from 9,700 to 16,350. Non-staters are still less than nine per cent of the total hunters in Nebraska, 188, 600 permit buyers in 1960. Nebraska hunters and anglers remained about static over the two years. Anglers advanced from 187,000 to 191,000. Hunters counted a 2,000 gain over 1959's 170,000. Call Your News And Social Items to 2141 'Wool Is Year 'round Fabric' Bv Mrs. Kay Leiding Extension Home Agent On a hot day this discussion of wool apparel seems a bit out of order, but in the next few weeks the fall fabrics will be coming to the local department stores. Many of you, I'm sure, do some of your own clothing con struction and perhaps have done some sewing with woolens. Oftentimes we hesitate to pur chase wool because it seems so expensive. Actually, is it really expen sive? Let's consider the length of season you can wear a wool garment in Nebraska, the num ber and variety of places you can wear this garment and the minimum amount of care it re quires. Now if you're convinced that it is an economical buy why don't you do some browsing in the yard g jods department soon. If you do your own sewing to ease the family expenses in the clothing area you will be making a greater savings if you make better dresses, suits and coats. Alterations, also, can save a great deal of money if you can provide these services at home. Surveys show that home makers who make house dresses and primarily inexpensive types of clothing do not save any no ticeable amount of money. In other words, if you fit into this last category you undoubtedly measure your rewards In home sewing as personal satisfaction and individual creativity rather than an economical savings in dollars and cents. In addition to saving money by sewing better garments and using woolens there is another reason for this particular promo tion. Each, fall the American Wool Council sponsors a MAKE IT YOURSELF WITH WOOL contest which is open to anyone between 13 and 21 who is not a professional seamstress. The contest is divided into three groups, the sub-deb, junior and senior divisions. ! The younger set may model a hand sewn skirt, skirt and sleeveless top or jumper and the ' two older groups model their1 own dresses, suits, coats or en- sembles. The district contest is in Lin-1 coin Oct. 14. It would be inter-1 esting to watch the style show at I the district contest and we can j give you more information later this fall. So, for those of you in-' terested in entering this home S sewing contest you have from right now until October 14 to make yeur garment. j One requirement ... the fab-! ric must be 100 American! loomed wool. Have the sales 1 clerk mark this on your ticket. For more information about the contest contact the County Ex-j tension uince.
