J THE PLATTSIVIOUTH, NEBRASKA, SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL PAGE EIQHT Monday, June 25, 1962 Nebraska Could Get $171,000 In Federal Training Payments nY MF.LVIN PAUL Statehouse Correspondent The Nebraska Tress Association LINCOLN A question has arisen as to whether the State Board of Education can enter into an agreement with the fed eral government for participa tion in the Federal Manpower Development and Training Act Program. Some believe such action would amount to "obligating" state funds during the next blen nium. This would be so, they contend, if the Board gave ap proval to an agreement which calls for matching state and fed eral funds during the third yeaii of the 3-year program. The Board can sign the con tract, A 1 1 y. Oen. Clarence Meyer believes, because the agreement permits a state tc drop out at any time. Meyei reasons that If the Legislature failed to appropriate funds for the third year, the state could drop out without having spent any money. Governor Morrison says the final decision rests with the At torney General. He said he will probably ask for a formal opln Ion before any action is taken by the Board regarding partici pation in the program. .The Board has already gone on record that it will participate only if a provision is removed which calls for federal control of ajl. projects. Nebraska could receive up tc $171,000 for training and alsc some money for subsistence payments during the first year of the program when $97 million would be allocated to the states. In the second and third years Nebraska would receive the same percentage from a total ol $161 million in federal funds in each of the two years. The federal program Is aimed at stepping up vocational train ing and at helping those whc have suffered job displacement because of technical changes or automation. The training would be done in established voca tional facilities, mainly In pub lic schools and colleges. The Board of Education has notified federal officials and offi cials from the other 49 states ol its request for removal of the federal controls. A meeting be tween federal officials and rep resentatives of 12 states was scheduled In Washington re cently to discuss the federal con tract provisions. Driver Training More students took driver ed ucation in Nebraska high schools last year and more high schools offered the course than ever before. Dr. Floyd Miller, state com missioner of education, said a recent survey showed that 7,598 students took both classroom and behind-the-wheel training in 168 public schools during the just completed academic year. Nebraska has had driver edu cation since 1948. The course Is usually offered as a fifth sub ject, or is taught during the summer. Most of the students are 10th graders because that is when most become eligible for theii first driver's license. Using sophomore enrollment as a base, about 35 per cent of all students in Nebraska receive driver education. Tax Study A start was made last week on a survey of Nebraska's tax ing system. The study will alsc Include a look Into various opin ions on what type of taxing setup the state should have. , Directing the study, which is financed by $30,000 made avail able by the Legislature is Dr. Harold McClelland, assistant professor of economics at Clare mont, Calif., College. McClelland said he wants tc gather as much evidence and as many opinions as possible be fore he comes up with some con crete recommendations to the legislative council tax study committee. Tax Abstracts The State Tax Commissioner is beginning to receive abstracts of assessment from the various counties. The deadline for submission of the abstracts Is July 1. State Tax Commissioner Forrest Johnson says it will be some time before any trend appear in property valuations for the year. He has predicted a slight increase in the state property tax this year, mainly because of a .17-mill hike in the special park fund levy. Last year the state levy was 8.41 mills. Projects Scheduled Governor Morrison has ap proved a tentative schedule ol work projects and expenditures for the state department of pub lic institutions from May of thia year to September of 1963. The major project getting the stamp of approval was the new addition to the Lincoln Ortho pedic Hospital. It would cost an estimated $153,300 and would in clude a brace shop, clinic for diagnostic and treatment serv ices, and space for rehabilita tion services.

Within a second or two the body will stop sinking and begin to rise. You may want to rest in this position for a mo ment. Drownproofing Ls a simple technique which utilizes the na tural bouyancy of the human body, says' Schnieder. When a drowning person sinks, it Is be cause they have let the air out of their body and replaced it with water. The trouble is that the body floats naturally In a face down position. If you take a breath and relax you will sink and come back up again. , In drownproofing the water bears the weight of the body and the only thing you have to do Ls raise your mouth or nose above the water long enough to get air. Schnieder advised swim mers as well as children to learn the technique because many an excellent swimmer has drowned simply because he exhausted himself Perky Pixies ELMWOOD (Special) The Elmwood Perky Pixies 4-H Club met at the home of Marjie Scho maker June 15.
