Sand, Nehawka, Nominee for Nebraska Mothcr-of-the-Year By Rl'TII MILIEU Nehawka Special Correspondent April 11, a group of 10 wom 'n gathered in Lincoln where they were presented orchid corsages and citations. These worn rr. were some of the nominees and the winner of the tlt.e of Nebraska Mother of the Year. They and the seven o'her nom inees came from communities all over Nebraska, where neigh bors had chosen to recognize thi m for extraordinary com munity spirit and family achicv ment. The women visited the legis lative chambers where the win ner was presented to the Leg islature-and then later met for coffee in the Governor's Man sion with Oovernor und Mrs. Morrison. Among the group of nominees was Mrs. F. O. Sand of Nehaw ka. It Is always a gret pleasure to see a friend achieve honors In some field, especially when they are as richly deserving of thrt honor as Mrs. F O. (Ad eline) Sand was of her nomina tion for Mother of the Year. We of this county have every reason to feel great pride In seeing families such as this growing In our communities and we gladly Join In this recogni tion of a family whose achieve ment and community spirit have been exceptional. For this reason, let me depart this week from historical as pects and give a hand to a fam ily who have kept their hopes pinned to the future. To begin, let me speak first of a mother who certainly would never put herself first. Mrs. Sand, In her quiet, un ostentatious way, has been a guiding light for the community In many areas, serving where ever she saw a way to give of her service. i Although it has been several years since her own children left the Nehawka 4-H clubs, Mrs. Sand has never let her Interest In our 4-H youth wane. She has given unstlntingly of her time to work on committees concern ed with awards and to attend special club occasions, giving encouragement Just by her pre sence. One feels that Mrs. Sand Is sure of the value of the 4-H pro gram and of the Inate goodness of today's youth and Is giving of her best toward the advance ment of both. Mrs. Sand has been busy In other ways too, participating In Maple Grove Extension Club, Nehawka Flower Club and the DAR, among others and keeping active In the work of her church. For many years she has writ ten the Nehawka News for the Plattsmouth Journal. The Sands never neglect the esthetic either. Their flowers and gardens are known through out the community, for the evi dences of care and beauty to be found and Mrs. Sand's floral arrangements are as attractive In her home as they are at the various meetings, flower shows ar.d In friends' homes where they find their way. I suppose, though, that the tribute that would please the 8r;nds most Is this: "They have raised an outstanding family." Mr. and Mrs. Sand have seven children, all of whom attended college. Four of the seven re ceived college scholarships. All were active 4-H'crs und three are new leading 4-H clubs in their own communities. The family now Includes two teachers, a music teacher, a U8DA employe In the field of noxious weed research, an an esthetist, a veterinarian and a former teacher now employed by Motorola. Yes, I suppose the Sands were very busv with seven children and an attractive farm to keep up but there was then, as there Is now, always room In their hearts for one more. Their family grew to eight children when a nenhew came to them at the death of his par ents and the Sands gladly rais ed him as one of their own. I've Introduced each of the . children briefly but these arej people I am sure vou will want to know more fully. Dr Paul Sand, who now re sides in Lake Waccamaw, N.C., began his work at the Unlver- sity of Nebraska with a view towards a Bachelor of Science In agriculture but his education was Interrupted by Army serv-, ice.
