The area Involved covers roughly Richardson, Pawnee, Nemafta, Johnson and Otoe counties in Nebraska, although the river basins involved also extend into Lancaster and Gage counties.

Alleviate Flood Loss. General Pick said the recommended projects would alleviate flood losses, offer a potential source of municipal water pupply for communities involved and pro, vide recreational areas or wildlife refuges. Most of the costs would be borne by the federal government although local interests would be' required to meet certain obligations. The preliminary plans call for earth fill dams ranging up to 78 feet in height. 1 Bach dam will have a chute spillway located 1n the rim of the reservoir, separate from the dam, for the release of flows resulting from unprecedented storms.

Some of the lands in the reservoir would be leased for farming because they would not be Inundated except during unusually large floods. Bv law, the state's would receive 75 per cent'of proceeds for the leasing of land. Man's Sweetheart Kisses Brother, Then Marries Him PITTSBURGH, What's a kiss?

Reed, Nebraska production and marketing administration committee i head, Saturday urged farmers to vote in their committee elections.

"From these 'community committees com.es the leadership for the county committees.
