NEBRASKA STATE HISTORICAL SOCIETY Lincoln, Nebraska STATE HISTORICAL LINCOLN, NEBR. THIS ISSUE Two Sections 14 PAGES Established in 1871 Truck now takes on mail at p. 0. instead of depot Trucks are hauling most of the mail that comes into and goes out of Schuyler nowadays. About the only mail that rides the rails out of town anymore is some first class.

5, a westbound train catches a pouch at 11:44 a. m. No. 6, the 4:14 p. eastbound train, also catches a pouch.

All other mail. including The Sun to out-oftown subscribers, goes out by truck, The evening truck is operating on a new schedule this week. The Sun was notified that this week's mailing the papers that go out Wednesday evening for delivery to mail patrons in Rogers, Richland, Leigh, Clarkson and Howellsare to be delivered to the Schuyler post office before 5:55 p. m. Up to this week the bags were taken to the Union Pacific depot.

All of this mail goes to Columbus. Mail trucks serving Schuyler operate between Columbus and Ames. The eastbound truck is due in Schuyler at 6:45 a. m. County Cancer Crusade figure reaches $1,912 The Cancer Crusade figure has reached $1,912.27, Colfax County Crusade Chairman Dr.

R. R. Tomes said Tuesday. Contributions from the rural areas, where the campaign was carried on by mail, are still coming in, he said. Schuyler's contribution totaled Clarkson, 40: Howells, Leigh, Richland, $43; Rogers, $28; Rural areas, $113; Memorials.

$228. Dr. Tomes emphasized that the collection of funds is not the only matter carried on by the crusade volunteers. The distribution of educational material which informs persons of the seven danger signals of cancer and urges them to have yearly physical checkups are an important part of the campaign. Dr.

Tomes said research can make great strides in the treatment and eventual cure of cancer but it will not help the person who does not know he has cancer. Only medical knowledge can detect its presence and without a yearly checkup a person may not be aware of the disease. Duncan car struck by train Friday A car owned by Mrs. Clark Duncan was struck by a train June 24 on a crossing five miles east of Schuyler. Mrs.

Duncan was not in the car. Mrs. Duncan, traveling south, and Earl Liming, traveling north, met on the crossing which was too narrow for passing. When Mrs. Duncan turned sharply to the right to avoid a collision, the wheels of the car became lodged between the rails.

They attempted to flag the oncoming train but the engineer, D. W. Poley, was unable to stop in time. Damage to the car was estimated at $500 by Sheriff Richard Kruse who investigated the accident. The sheriff also investigated an accident on Highway 91, one-half mile cast of Clarkson Friday.

A car driven by John Jenesta of La Grange, collided with the rear of one driven by Velma Heyne of Bassett during a heavy rainstorm. Miss Heyne slowed down to avoid striking a car ahead of her and Mr. Janesta was unable to stop in time. Both cars were traveling east. Damage to the Heyne vehicle Was estimated at $100; to the Jenesta vehicle, $250.

JUL 1965 This Week WITH AMOS SVOBODA BE CAREFUL OVER THE 4TH. SSCH A BIG ASSET SADILEK'S PROGRAM We've all heard those quips about the Fourth and the fifth. they have been around a long time. Drive carefully on the Fourth so you will be around on the fifth. Leave the fifth alone if you're driving on the Fourth.

Coming on Sunday as the Fourth does this year, it will be a long weekend it will be up to one to be careful on the 3rd, 4th and 5th in order to be around on the 6th. People, those who hadn't visited Schuyler Senior Citizens Home before and went out for the dedication and open house last Sunday, were impressed with what they saw. SSCH is a wonderful addition to the community a valuable asset. It has just about everything that is essential to provide comfort for its guests and in a pleasant atmosphere. Nebraska has a broadened tax base.

LB 797, the income tax was approved by a 26-23 vote of the Legislature last week. Gov. Frank Morrison will permit the bill to become law without his signature. But something is likely to happen before Jan. 1, 1967, when the income tax is to go into effect.

A referendum in 1966 is already shaping up. To place the proposition on the ballot requires 28.903 signatures and they must be secured in 90 days. Some of our Chamber of Commerce people are toying around with an idea which could lead to a permanent home for Schuyler's Fall Festival. The Schuyler Lumber Coal Co. property is being considered very seriously.

Several hundred dollars has been spent every year since the festival was started, for tent rental. The American Legion paid the rental in the early years of the Fall Festival when the organization had the money. When the Legion kitty ran out and that organization could no longer foot the bill, the Chamber of Commerce assumed tent rental. Over the years money spent for tents possibly exceeds the asking price for the lumber yard property. But that money is gone and there is no point in mentioning it here.

However, mentioning it does lead to the realization a $600- $700 yearly expenditure does run up to in 10 years. Our readers can expect to hear more about this idea in the coming weeks. The program that Rotarians had been looking forward to all week W. B. Sadilek, reminiscing was every bit as interesting as expected.

The time element WAS a drawback, however. How can anyone expect the experiences of 50 years in the legal profession to be reduced to 30 minutes. W. B. didn't get to say a word about his involvement with enforcement of the Volstead Act.

But it was an interesting presentation. Rotarians can get several more installments. Members often seem to have difficulty in trying provide something of interest when it's their turn to present program. W. B.

is the man to keep in mind. Service officer is re-appointed At the quarterly meeting Friday evening in Leigh, the Colfax County Veterans' Service Committee reappointed Lloyd L. Pospishil as Veterans' Service Officer. Other business included a discussion of problems involving veterans and recommendation of the levy for the County Veterans' Aid Program.

Hiedik, chairman; Francis R. O'Brien, secretary; George C. Novotny, M. C. Phillips and Leonard Kudlac, members of the committee, and Mr.

Phone company pays second half personal taxes A check for $7,729.12 was delivered to the Colfax County Treasurer this week by H. L. Vest, Northwestern Bell manager, in payment of the second half of the company's 1964 personal property taxes. Mr. Vest commented that Northwestern Bell's tax bill for all kinds of taxes in Nebraska in 1964 was more than 400,000 and is expected to increase again this year.He pointed out that there is some welcome relief in sight for telephone taxpayers.

The Federal Excise Tax cut recently enacted by Congress will reduce the tax on local and long distance telephone service from 10 per cent to three per cent in 1966, then reduce it at the rate of one per cent a year until it is entirely removed in 1969. "The reduction will be a direct savings to the telephone customer," Mr. Vest said. "Business has no other source of money to pay its taxes than revenue from its customers, so ultimately the customer pays all taxes. The Federal Excise Tax, however, is a direct tax on the telephone user.

Northwestern Bell simply collects the tax for the federal government. Its removal will help bring the taxes the telephone customer has been shouldering into a better proportion."

of the varieties of Baart. Bluestem and Burt. No. discount will be applied to under-12 per cent protein for 1965. U.

S. Department of Agriculture officials have explained that the decision, to drop the sedimentation tests, was made reluctantly since the testing procedure was easier and quicker to use in the field than other tests for quality, and the program has helped to encourage the production of higher quality wheat. However, the system, introduced as a means of assisting foreign buyers in the purchase of U. S. wheat, has not been used extensively by the export trade and has not been a factor in the expansion of U.

S. wheat exports, The department will continue to work toward higher quality wheat production through improvement of wheat standards, discounts in support prices for undesirable wheat varieties, premiums, for protein as quality measure. and the development of other means to encourage quality production. Producers who wish the premium added to the loan rate may request protein tests for farm storage loans by paying a fee of $3.50 per bin tested. Final settlement for all farmstorage loans will be on the basis of tests made at time of delivery.

Premiums and discounts, as applicable, will be applied to the basic price-support rate for' warehouse storage loans and for wheat acquired by the Commodity Credit Corporation under a loan or by purchase. Lunch program peronnel in Lincoln Mrs. Lloyd Pollard, Mrs. William J. Balak and Mrs.
