Sandhill Cranes Visit Nebraska LINCOLN Approximately GO Sandhill or Little Brown cranes were sighted over North Platte recently by game biologists of the Game Commission. These few hardy birds have al ready begun the annual north ward migration. The Platte Val ley between Grand Island and Sutherland is a traditional rest ing area for these large avian visitors. The cranes stop to feed and rest before flying on to nest ing grounds In the northern United States and Canada. Peak of the migration usually occurs about the third week in March when more than 100.000 birds will be concentrated in this region. Photographers and other interested persons come from all over the country to view the large, graceful, slate-blue birds. Here Erriday For V.- CiD NEBRASKA. SE IV! I-WEEKLY JOURNAL Thursday.

It's a second meeting for the! t e a in s a n d is important, j although it means nothing in trie Ak-Har-Ben Conference stand ings. For Plattsmouth. 2-12 now, it's the last chance to please the home tans with a good showing. For Tekamah. it could mean a a boost up to the top 10 Class B rankings. Sine e Tekamah defeated Plattsmouth here Jan. 15. 73-60 in the first round of the Ak-Sar-Ben Conference Meet, fortunes of the teams have been opposite. Pla'tsmouth has suffered mis fortune but Tekamah has risen to a 14-7 record and owns victor ies over Blair and Missouri Val ley. While Tekamah was idle Tues day, Plattsmouth took part here in a game which will long be remembered one in which it tried a noble experiment and suf fered the consequences of an un forunate aftermath. The problem for Coach Lowell Johnson and his Blue Devils was Bellevue High, highly rated in Class A and possessed of a world of height, experience and shoot ing ability. It was a big problem and John son decided to try to do some thing about 't. The resulting score. 54-14 for Bellevue, is only part of the story. Plattsmouth tried slow-down tactics early in the game and perhaps came within two or three baskets of making it work. Playing keep-away, the Devils trailed by 2 to 4 after 52 min utes. During that time they missed three or four shots. Had the score at that point been 6-4 or 8-4 for Plattsmouth, the outcome might have been different. However, from then on the sit uation deteriorated fast and Bellevue led 7-2 at the quarter Plattsmouth having only a drive-in by Denny Campbell). Freouent loss of ball forced by a good Bellevue defense kept Plattsmouth in trouble. Plattsmouth got a free throw the second quarter and Bellevue. shooting exceptionally well then, tallied 16. The experiment was over and it was 23-3 at the half. And, to add to Plattsmouth's misfortune, the Devils could not find the field goal range there after, posting the lowest shoot ing percentage in memory here. 9 per cent. Besides Campbell's field goal the first quarter, the Devils got or.lv two goals the third quarter and none the second or fourth. For the game, they shot 3 for 35 from the field and 8 for 11 from the free throw line. Bellevue hit 21 for 53 from the field for 40 per cent. Bellevue had 35 rebounds to 25 for Plattsmouth.

Game Commission Says State Is Getting Worldwide Attention LINCOLN "We get letters, we get letters, we get stacks and stacks of letters." No truer words were ever spoken accord ing to the Game Commission. Upwards of from 250-350 let ters are currently being received every day from all corners of the globe. The letters request everything from match book covers and literature to rings from the state tree and mineral samples. These letters indicate that people are interested in Nebras ka and often plan their vaca tions from the information re ceived. Even newlyweds from Florida plan to spend their honeymoon in Nebraska. The couple re quested a list of the motels and guides to various color spots in the state. One woman from New York City would like to spend part of her vacation this year visiting a farm. She requested a sched ule of rates. Requests come from all parts of the world including one from a young man in Japan. Not only does he read the literature, but is interested in locating the points on a map. The young man is particularly interested in more information from an old west writer. In his opinion Ne braska is the place where the Old West is relived. scored 17 to pace Elmwood fi the game.

Flood Dike Being Built At Louisville LINCOLN Activities of the Engineering and Operations Div ision of the Game Commission have gone into full swing with the advent of the spring season. At the present time heavy equipment is at work at the Louisville area building where approximately 5.3G0 feet of flood control dike between the state lakes and the Platte River is be ing constructed. The dike works is about one-third complete and will consist of an average three foot fill which is one foot above the high flood stage according to the Game Commission. At Brownville the old boat ramp has been removed and the grade on the new ramp, which will be 24 feet wide and 43 feet long, has been established. The cement will be poured as soon as the Missouri River water level drops after the ice breaks up or before March 15 when the river level will be raised for navigation. Expected to be completed next month is an eight-inch water line at the Gretna Fish Hatchery, the new three bedroom home and administration office at Fort Kearny, and a new roof on the mansion at Arbor Lodge. General renovation of the newly purchased shop building at the Bassett District Office also was completed this month. Work included the shoring up of the building, installing neces sary lights, and removing parti tions. Other projects completed were the preliminary survey at Lake Minatare on construction of a roadway, the design and mate rial list for the latrine and bath combination at Group Camp at Chadron State Park, and the survey of Fort Robinson. A visitor to the United States from Holland, now in Wisconsin on a Fulbright scholarship, plans to do some camping in Nebraska before he goes home to resume his studies at the University of Amsterdam. The Dutch youth has done much camping in the French Pyrene es. Other requests have come from California for a match book cover for a U.S. coffee table; from Bombay, India, for visits to Nebraska; from Blunt, South Dakota, for information for classroom work; and from Holland for information because people of that country have moved here and their friends want to know what Ncbra-ska's like. Even the Amerian Consulate General in Rhodesia and Nyasa land in Africa wrote asking for economic and commercial in formation and pictures on Ne braska. Much favorable com ment was received by. the Con sulate General on his Nebraska display. Just about as many thank yous flood into the office after the literature has reached its destination. From England, New Jersey, Maine, Kentucky' and West Virginia come letters from school children saying, "the literature sure helped my report. Thank you so much "
