I Kids Tagged i ALLIANCE Antelope kids are ; being tagged at the Sioux Or dance Depot near Sidney, ac cording to Harvey Suetsugu, as J sociate biologist of the Game Commission. The lirst kid was tagged on June 4. and at that time the technicians witnessed the birth of a vigorous male kid. Since that first day, the Game Com mission has tagged 18 kid.s and some still remain to be tagged. Peak kidding this year occur red between June 15 and 18, Suetsugu said. At the same time the young are tagged, they are being marked with plastic strips 'to be used for identification in later studies. The technicians will compare the marked antel ope with the unmarked to get a production ratio. All kids are tagged to give them a permanent record as to when they were born. These tags will be used later in studies on the aging of the animals. Suetsugu indicated that a to tal of 97 pronghorn are now on the Sioux Depot, but this figure was before the birth of the kids An original stock of 27 animals was released on this site in Jan uary 1958. The Sioux Ordnance Depot in Cheyenne County is the only known area in the country where antelope are studied in a protected enclosure. The popula tion study covers 22,500 fenced acres and is a co-operative pro ject between the Commission and the U. S. Army. Farmers: Consider Hazards Connected with Recreation! LINCOLN Since National Farm Safety Week is July 22 through 28, this is an opportune time for Nebraska farmers and ranchers to consider some of the hazards connected with recrea tion on the farm, the Game Commmission reports. Each year in Nebraska several farm people, mostly youngsters, are lost by drowning in ponds and irrigation canaLs. Most of these deaths could be prevented with a little caution and the aid of a few safety devices. Inner tubes with ropes attach ed should be located near ponds or lakes used for swimming. Long cane poles can also serve the same purpose, and either of the devices could save the life of someone in trouble. In lakes or ponds used by boaters, precautions should be taken to insure safety. Now is also a good time to make sure obsolete firearms are made inoperative. Many of these guns sit around for years until a youngster decides they might : make a good toy, the Commis sion warns. Old guns such as Damascus steel-barrel shotguns Residents Chosen I For Country Club j The Board of Directors of ! Plattsmouth Country Club Mon j day night selected a couple to live in a mobile home at the j Club's golf course northwest of j the city. j Several break-ins have occur ! red at the Clubhouse in recent months. Having someone live on the premises, it is hoped, will discourage trespassing. the PLATTSMOUTH r-OFF ASU UUSXTSU lyloKh I. fftf- A Busy Man Except for the years when lie commanded a PT Boat ! in the Pacific during World I War H, Alfred G.

His mates supported him with 18 hits as they scored five, two, should never be used with mod ern high-powered ammunition. All guns should be cleaned and stored out of children's reach, if possible guns should be locked and the ammunition stored in a separate location. Nearly half of the firearm ac cidents occur in homes. Youngsters on the farm who find young birds or animals that are presumed lost should be cautioned to leave them alone. Many species of wildlife are subject to diseases such as tularemia and rabies. Do not let an accident mar your farm recreation, the Com mission advises. Auxiliary Opposes 'Aid to Reds' The American Legion Auxil iary stands with The American Legion in opposition to the grant ing of aid to Communist coun tries, the local unit here says. Action taken by the Senate to limit such aid has the full ap proval of both Legion and Auxil iary, a spokeswoman said. "We believe that any aid to Communist-dominated nations, whether this takes the form of money, machinery or food, strengthens the grip of Commu nism on those countries and gives Communism greater power in its drive for world con quest. We would like to see for eign aid extended only to coun tries which show willingness to stand with the United States in all-out support of human free dom."

JOUTOAL UU Devaluing Continues; Killers Composite Drawn HY MLI.VIN PAIL Statehouse Correspondent The Nebraska Press Association LINCOLN The plight of Ne braska railroads became in creasingly evident this past week when the State Board of Equalization lowered the valu ation of all railroads for six pur poses for the filth straight year. In a statement released after the valuations were set. Gover nor Frank Morrison, a board member, said the reductions are a result of "loss of business, de terioration of equipment and dif ficulties and cost of obtaining adequate financing." The reduction came with lit'le surprise. Railroads each year are becoming less important property tax contributors to state and local governments due to economic problems and the growth in other types of prop erty. Railroad valuations have gen erally reversed the pattern of other utilities such as pipelines, gas, light and telephone compan ies. Last year these utilities in creased If) per cent in valuation. j At the same time the board re jduced the values of most smaller railroads 31 .2 per cent, i Decreased valuations set for railroads this year: Illinois Cen tral, $.)0,G2:i; Chicago. Kock Js ! land, and Pacific, $l.(iG2,3."9; Union Pacific, $45,469,200; Chi i capo. Burlington, & Quine.y, $35. 159,890; Chicago and Northwest ern, $4,399,599; Missouri Paci fic, $1,875,808. Wabash, $20,515; Atchison, Topcka, & Santa Fe, $9,010; Chi cago, Great Western, S177.0IH); South Omaha Terminal, $143,215; Omaha, Lincoln, & Beatrice, $19,800. Valuation of the Pullman Com pany was set by the board at $132, 9:0, or 35 per cent of actual value. Composite Of a Killer The Nebraska Safety Council : has hi( on a Wily t( wani ni,)tor. j.ss 0f the particular driver who j becomes a killer on the high ways. The idea, begun over the Fourth of July holiday period, was to compile a composite of the driver who becomes involved in accidents during a specific period. The composite for the Four'h was a driver 17 to 24 years old, who drives a car two to six years old, and who has two speeding and two failure to stop or yield violations on his record. Motorists were warned to watch for and avoid this driver be' ween 5 and 9 p.m. Similar warnings are expected on holidays in the future.

Nebraska and several other slates earlier rejected a clause in a proposed federal contract which would have given the fed eral government authority to ap prove all projects instituted under the act. The states said they should have this control. The act - which went into et teet on July 1 provides for a three-year program for training persons put out of work by autc : mation. The federal government is uttering to foot the bill for the program for the first two years, with the state joining on a matching funds basis the third year. ; The state board has indicated it will sanction Nebraska's part 1 -; filiation if the "prior federal ap ' proval" clause is removed from the cent racl. j Juvenile Delinquency In a report to the annual gov ernor's conference held in Iler sh.ey. Pa., Governor Frank Mor rison has given strong praise to three protects to help combat juvenile delinquency in Ne braska. Morrison g a v e particular praise to a special employment program in Lincoln schools, a recreational program for the edueahle menially handicapped teenager and young adult in Lin coin, and on the overall progress of the city of Hohlrege. T e r m i n g t h e programs "unique" to Nebraska, the gov ernor said other states could benefit by adopting similar tech niques. The report Morrison submit ted had been prepared for him by the Nebraska Committee for Children and Youth, Steering i Committee on Juvenile Delin quency and Crime. Morrison described the special employment program in Lincoln as intending to serve as "a moti vating factor to the under achieve!', the prospective school dropout, and the emotionally dis turbed." Although the chief purpose of the program is the develop ment of the individual, voca tional training plays a major role, the governor said. Last year 85 boys and girls were placed in 99 jobs under the program. missofki iw; ONKS The two largest fish caught wi'h hook and line listed in the Nebraska angling records, a 59 pound yellow catfish and a 58 pound blue catfish, came from the Missouri River. - Journal Want Ads Pav STREET M1M i
