Call Your Mows And Social Items to 2141 Suggestions: Before Flood LINCOLN In view of the possible floods which may occur in some parts of Nebraska this year, University of Nebraska Ex tension specialists have pre pared a list of suggestions on what to do before a flood. If advised to evacuate, by all means do so without hesita tion. Prepare now so you can leave immediately, if necessary. - Talk over your pians now with all members of the family. o ;he wisest decisions can be made. Move important things food, furniture, appliances, clothing, machinery, livestock, feed, grain, irrigation pipe to higher ground. If electrical equipment can not be moved, parts such as motors or controls might be re moved. Turn off all electric service at each building and at the meter pole. If your domestic water pump i.s removed, fill all por tions of the water system, ta ik i and pipes with clean water and cap all ope.iings. Seal the well, this will not keep contamination out, but will help to keep silt and debris out of the well. t Turn off all gas appliances and also close shut off valves at storage tanks. I If you have experienced i other floods, you are aware of the mud and debris that can . collect in a basement. You can ; help keep your basement clean er if you will flood it with clean ' .water before the flood hits. Move irrigation and other i power units to higher ground. : If this cannot easily be done, re- 1 move radiators, air cleaners and carburetors and seal all open j ings to prevent the entrance of i water. Fill the oil reservoirs on engines or pumps ana piug Campus Research Important in Luring Industry The importance of research and academic facilities in at tracting research-oriented indus try to Nebraska will be under scored for legislators, civic offi cials, business and industrial leaders at a public meeting in Lincoln March 28. Speakers will include Governor Frank B. Morrison, Chancellor Clifford M. Hardin of the Univer sity of Nebraska, and President W. A. Strauss of Northern Na tural Gas Company, Omaha. The meeting to be held in the Nebraska Center for Continuing Education 9:30 to 11 a.m., is planned as a forum for the dis cussion of a stepped-up program of industrial development utiliz ing the resources offered by Ne braska's universities and col leges. The session is being sponoivd jointly by Northern Natural. Western Power and Gas Com pany, the Metropolitan Utilities District, The Nebraska Natural Gas Company, the People's Na tural Gas Division, and the Coun cil Bluffs Gas Division in cooper ation with the University of Ne braska and the Division of Ne braska Resources. "The importance of campus research facilities in attracting industry to Nebraska cannot be over-emphasized," Randall Klemme, vice president of mar keting, research and area devel opment for Northern Natural, declared. "Expenditures for research and development have trippled nationally in the past eight years," he said, "and this tre mendous increase suggests something of the opportunities open to Nebraska. Our state has the potential and with timely planning and preparation Ne braska can share significantly in the nation's industrial expan sion."

According to Glenn Sonde, O ik Park director of public works, the sign change has received en thusiastic public approval, even from those long-time residents who usually resist most changes in the appearance of the village "This is not only an easy, low cost way to make a needed pub lic improvement, it's also a pop ular program," he said. The change was inspired by the need for signs that could eas ily be seen and read after dark, according to Sonde. Oak Park is one of more than 200 cities and towns that have adopted reflective "expressway green" for street name signs. NO. 2J2 CANS Ef 46 OZ. CANS NO. 303 CANS NO. 303 CAN Beef POUND u
