' The constitution provides us with the basic freedoms those of religion, speech and the press. If we do not exercise these free doms, we are neglecting the government. The greatest privilege our Constitution grants Is that of voting. The right to select their own government oficials has been the wish of people all over the world for centuries. We, In the United States, have this privilege and by not voting are disregarding that which people have worked centuries to gain. If we do hold fast to these privileges of our Constitntlon, we can not help but be good citizens.

'Centennial BY MELVIN PUX Statrhouse Correspondent The Nebraska Press Association LINCOLN News concerning planning for the Nebraska Cen tennial in 1967 keeps popping up with increasing frequency. Several spokesmen for the Ne braska Centennial Commission said recently the event will off.T the one big opportunity of this century for the state to display Its pride on a national levl. But they said enough money has to be made available to do an adequate promotional job. W. D. Aeschbccher of Lincoln, commission secretary, noted a bill has been introduced In the Legislature seeking a .07-mlll levy for promotion of the big an niversary. If this measure gets approval, he added, "we will have the nec essary financial means to make 1S67 truly a great year in Ne braska." A. James Ebel, commission chairman, said, however, not one cent of the money raised by the special levy would be used for constructing a permanent building. He explained the com mission has approved a resolu tion slating the money can only be employed "for edtication.il, cultural and promotional pur poses." Several state senators have proposed that in commemora tion of the Centennial a perma nent build'ng be constructed which would be of lasting value to the state. The commission has asked the Unicameral's budget committee for a 1963-65 appropriation of $72,4K0 up some $47,000 from the amount given two years ago. Ebel said the Increase was being sought primarily to kick celebra tion plans into high gear. Steen Prediction M. O. Steen believes the 1963 Legislature will decide "If Ne braska Is to go forward In the area of recreational develop ment" and if hunting and fishing license fees are not increased "it will surely tumble backwards." He told members of the Ne braska Oame Commission he is discussing a bill with several senators which would hike fish ing and hunting licenses. He was not sure about the exact amount. In the past he has favored up nlng the cost of a fishing license from $2 to $4 and the hunting j permits from $2.50 to $4. I If the increases are not made, Steen said, "Nebraska sports men will lose a once In a million chance to Improve their own lot." , The Oame Commission has approved a major park develop ment project in Nemaha and Richardson counties along the Missouri River. Cost of the project, which would involve some 2.400 acres, was estimated at one million dol lars over a 10-year period. The project would give Ne braska ft fifth state park. It would be the largest of the five. The commission stipulated, however, no money will be spent to buy any of the lani until It Is clear It can get title to all the necessary land. Steen said the park site was chosen after 18 months of inten sive research by the commis sion's parks division. The park will be known as In dian Cave State Park. (iains Noted Frontier Airlines officials say deliberate efforts to improve its relations with Nebraska com munities It serves helped ac count for "spectacular gains" in air passenger traffic during the last six months of 1962. Passenger volume on flights it; Nebraska showed steady im provement during the last six months of the year with Ne braska cities showing a 47 per cent Improvement during De cember, compared with the last month of 1961. Lewis Dymond, Frontier pres ident, sald-the pickup In board ings was a direct reflection "of the cooperation given by every one in Nebraska to Frontier's continuing program to give bet ter public service to the state." Legislature Busy Bills have been pouring Into the legislative hopper -at a fairly good clip during the first several weeks of the session. Many more are expected, how ever, before the 20th legislative day the deadline for the sub mission of bills by individual senators. Less than a dozen measures have been debated before com mittees but the public hearing pace has started picking up. Nearly 50 proposals were heard this week and at least that num ber will be scheduled each week for the next several months. Under legislative rules, each bill gets a public hearing before a committee decides If It should be sent to the floor of the Legis lature. Close to 700 bills are expected to be Introduced. The one which frequently kicks up plenty of controversy the massive budget measure usually doesn't come to the floor until late In the session. How ever, Sen. Richard Marvel of Hastings, budget commit tee chairman, has promised every effort will be made this Chance To Show State Pride' 44 How about instead ? session to get the bill to the law makers earlier than ever before and with more detailed Infor mation about the various agen cies' spending requests and rec ommended appropriations. It Is not known Just how much will be suggested for the various educational Institutions by the budget committee. But it Is known that the four Junior col leges and Omaha Municipal Uni versity have tfnwn up .a bill pro viding that the state give tlHO a year for each resident student carrying 14 or more credit hours. The bill will propose that the money come from the state gen eral fund. , At a meeting in Lincoln, repre sentatives of the five colleges said unless state aid is gran'ed their institutions many students will be priced out of a college education. The schools presently are fi nanced by mill levies on the school districts in which they are located and from student tuition fees. A driver in Lodi, Calif., was arrested for driving without a license. Investigation revealed he'd never hart a liens, a n H probably never could get one. He is receiving a atate pension for the blind. PERFECTION Softens, Smooths and Protects Your Hands .
