iNcbraska Day:
Nebraska Celebrates
77 Years of Statehood
Seventy-Seven years ago, March 1, 1867, Nebraska
was admitted to the union, with all the rights of full
statehood. At that time, it was still a wilderness, and
the Indians dominated a great part of the territory.
Since then, Nebraska has come to be recognized
thruout the United States as a progressive part of this
nation.
Gov. Dwight Criswold announced that there would
be no special celebration of Nebraska day. He will,
however, speak today at Northeast high and to the
Parent-Teachers Association about Nebraska as a
state.

Harry Miller
Joins UN Staff
In Cliemurgy
Harry Miller, research chemist
in the field of paper-cellulose-plastic
processes, will be added to
the staff of the Nebraska chem
urgy project.
Miller will come April 1 from
the University of Missouri where
he has developed paper making
processes adopted by a large con
tainer manufacturing concern.
This process makes' use of Ne
braska straw, according to Dr.
Leo M. Christensen, chemurgy
project director, and plants may
possibly be established in this sec
tion for utilization of straw, corn
stalks and other crop residues.
Miller is a pioneer in chemurgie
research, Dr. Christensen said, and
his availability is "very fortunate
for our project because men with
his broad training in paper, celu
lose and plastics are scarce."
