Ill Bank Deposits And Loans Time was when leaders, uneasy over signs of an approaching economic upset, put the heat on borrowers to hurry up and pay. As prospects became less promising, the leaders became more insistent. Much intensive study has been devoted to the problem of how to prevent pressure for payment at times When conditions made payment difficult. And much legislation has been designed to accomplish that purpose. Prior to the New Deal insurance to prevent panicky withdrawals, federal backing of farm loan bank bonds, HOLC and FHA for relief of home owners SEC to control stock speculation, nationalizing gold and federal deficit spending to "prime the pump" and revive had been many other efforts to maintain stability.

The Federal Reserve System has been 37 years in operation. The "money panic" of 1907 set the best minds to thinking about central bank Improvement. Nebraska's state guarantee of bank deposits aimed to preserve confidence, but the word "guarantee" was deceptive. The Home Owners bank was set up to provide a source of lending funds for building and loan associations. Federal legislation for "elastic currency" appeared 45 years ago.

Always plans and programs to stabilize finance have been turned to in time of stress. Today, the borrower has less cause for apprehension than at any time within the recollection of people now living. For instance, this week at Tecuifnseh, a Johnson county banker told a meeting of farmers that conditions are favorable to them. At the close of World War he said, Johnson county banks had $2,564,000 on deposit and loans of 52,389,000. As of January 1 this year, the banks of the county have $5,742,000 of deposits, and loans of 5767,000.

The borrower is most welcome. in response to the GI program? We think, naturally, of the veteran as the chief, if not the sole, recipient of the benefits of this venture. Actually, the institutions of higher learning have also benefited substantially. The benefits are not merely those of additional funds and additional students. The descent of the GI's on the colleges created not only larger but different student bodies.

The veterans brought an element of maturity and purposefulness that had often been lacking. To meet that change a large number of colleges and universities rose to the situation with better teaching, better curricula and a closer study of the various human equations that go into the learning process. What they must try to do: now is to consolidate those gains and adapt them to an again different type of student body. When the colleges pull down some of the barracks and hut villages that were hastily thrown up, let us earnestly hope that they will not have to pull down the solider structures of method spiration that have been achieved. The Upper Room Norman Thomas, the most durable presidential has headed the Socialist party six his 65th birthday Sunday.

He has always been a respectable candidate and his influence has done much to make less horrendous the word Socialist. A Princeton graduate and ordained Presbyterian minister, Mr. Thomas patiently and quietly spread the Socialist doctrine without scaring people, even those who abhor what he advocates. College And The Veteran New York Veterans Administration has announced another sharp drop in the college enrollment of veterans under the GI Bill of Rights. It was inevitable, of course, that the program would taper off, and it is, in fact, surprising and gratifying that the enrollments have held up as long and as well as they have.

The end of the program, now in sight, offers several problems to the many institutions that have' cooperated so well. How will our colleges and universities maintain and perpetuate the gains in pedagogy and curriculum that they have made Through the years, the country has absorbed frequent moderate doses of socialism! The popular election of U. S. senators and woman suffrage on the national scale and the direct primary, initiative and referendum in many states are examples of infiltration of ideas originally propagated by a very small minority party. Shah Hohammed Riza Palevi of came to the United States to find out what it is that makes this great and powerful nation tick.

He has not confined his attention to diplomats and politicians; he is interested in soil conservation and plant breeding and mechanized farming and industrial know-how, whatever makes possible the material well being of this nation. While he's here, the Persian ruler might tell us something about his own country which could be beneficial to us- The Persian domain, carved out by Cyrus the Great a short time and passed in due course to Darius, was about the size of the United States. It had been a going concern for two centuries when Alexander the Great, came over from Greece and took it. How an empire crumbles should be as interesting a subject of study as how it rose to greatness. M.

The President is going down to Key West, Nov.

28 for a three-week vacation and the only subjects you hear discussed around his offices are sun-tan oil, swimming trunks, sport shirts and sunglasses. Halt the fun of having a vacation is it, they say, and the President's staff and members of the press going with him are having a whale of a time at it. There are a few notable exceptions. When takes off for Key West it amounts to moving the White House down there. And that involves plenty of trouble for the crew that has to do the advanced planning.

Most exacting job falls to the secret service. Agents have to get to the naval base there, where the party stays, one or two weeks early to set up all the rigid security requirements needed to protect "the safety of the President. The fact that this is the President's fifth trip to the base makes it easier. Still, plenty to be done Additional guards have to be arranged for at all the gates. All passes used by regular base personnel have to be reviewed to make no unauthorized ones are out Nearby towns and installations have to be inspected for newly-arrived "cranks" or possible trouble makers.

For at least a week before the President's arrival every visitor to the base las to be checked to make sure ie isn't coming in to hang around and make trouble for the President. la Complicated Setting up the complicated communications that have to be maintained with Washington is a job which takes at least four weeks. The telephone company has to arrange for several direct trunk lines' to be available 24 hours a day. Several lines have to be kept "ready" in case of emergency. Western Union has to prepare for the flood of words and messages which the reporters will have to file from spite of'the trip being a The presidential yacht Williamsburg took off for Key West just as soon as the official announcement of the trip was made.

It sailed loaded with typewriters, office equipment and special gear needed by the party. It will also provide the necessary radio com- rnunicatiohi link ifor the President. Hallam Newt Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Rlet- fors and arid Mm.

He's been doing these jobs for years and it has become almost routine. He claims that the vacation is actually not a vacation for him. work every day Just as we do in the White House.

The only thing is, Key West a lot better place to work." Most of the members of the party-are limited to 60 pounds of luggage when they fly 'down, including clothing. That's enough Mr. Long explains, "because you wear nothing but sport clothes all day and only dress for dinner maybe a couple of times a week." Charters Own Planes The President goes in his plane, the "Independence," with about six key members of his staff. The press and the rest of the staff charter one or two airline planes, depending on how big the official party is. Long has to make all the plans for this.

There are usually between 30 to 40 members of the press party and from 10 to 15 members of the President's staff who make the trip. During his stay there are al ways official visitors going back and forth. While he is down there a daily mail plane runs between Key West and Washington. Vacation or no, some business of the federal government has to be taken care of by the President. The plane brings in all the important mail, reports and official paners that have to be" signed.

Added to all this planning from Washington, of course, is the planning at the base. It hums while they get it in ship-shape for the commander-in-chief. The report it that the commissary there has been saving up its best steaks for almost a month for the visit. Out of the Past 10 Ytars Ago Members of the Fraternal Order of Eagles from aeries in a number of cities in Nebraska had flocked to Beatrice to meet Grand Worthy President John A. Abel of Marion, national head of the organization.

Mr. and Mrs. John Leners of 722 Bell street observed their 65th wedding anniversary at theit home. A miscellaneous shower was given at the home of Mrs. Don Schlermeyer in honor of Mrs.

Bert Springer, formerly Miss Marjorie Robison who had been recently married at Cheyenne, 20 Years Ago A group of Russian government agricultural experts had been in the city on a tour of farming sections of the United States. They had visited the Dempster Mill Manufacturing plant and were surprised to see a factory turning out farming machinery in this rural region. They visited the Rankin Busboom farm east of here, took pictures ol a 50-acre field of wheat that had been seeded by one of the Dempster's furrow wheat seeders. Repairs were being made on the A. Naylor home which had been damaged by fire.

J. E. Leach was having a large bank 50 by 28 feet erected on the old Nye and Jenks lumber yard lots north of the Bui'lington station at Adams. It was to be used for livestock and community public sales. 30 Ago Sherman Plank and Miss Gertrude Terhune, both of Beatrice, had been married at the home of the bride's parents, Mr, and Mrs William Terhune, in Glenover.

Walter Dietz, a well-known farmer living near Firth had decided to retire after more than 50 years of active life and had secured a home in West Beatrice where he could rest and enjoy his favorite pastime fishing. Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Brugh and daughter Velma of Holmosville visited Sunday at the home ol Mrs. Brugh's brother, George Pope and family.

40 Years Ago The December number of phys- icaj culture magazine, published in New York City by Bernarr MacFadden, contained a picture of Ralph S. Reed. 16-year-old son of Mayor C. L. Reed.

The Beatrice city council had passed a resolution endorsing and commending a bill which Congressman E. PI. Hinshaw of this district had introduced in congress to appropriate money for the purchase of the Freeman homestead for a national park. N.

Jordaa BY EDWIN P. JORDAN, M.D. A common penalty of old age is the development of a condition of the eyes called cataracts. A cataract involves that portion of the eye which serves as the lens.

The lens is normally clear but becomes clouded in cataract and this produces a blurring of vision. Perhaps it can be explained best by com paring it with the lens of a camera. If a lens were not clean, or something happened to the glass to cloud it, a picture taken through that lens would also be blurred and Plow much fuzziness there is depends on the amount of cloudiness in the lens. If only part of the lens is involved, not all of the field of vision will be diisturbed. If the whole lens is clouded, then all objects will be blurred.

There is no reason to believe that eyestrain leads to the development of cataract, though, of course, eyestrain should be avoided for other resons- Heredity, and particularly increasing years, seem to have more to do with most cases of cataract than anything else. A cataract, in which the clouding is slight, is spoken of as incipient. When the process of clouding has been completed it is called "ripe" or mature. Unfortunately medical that is drugs that have so far been not proved of value in dissolving material which clouds the lens nor can they restore normal vision. Operation is the best treatment for cataract.

When the cataract is "ripe" or mature, it can be removed and full vision restored in uncomplicated cases. In recent years, surgery of the eye has been so improved that it is possible to remove the lens with a cataract in it at early stages of development in many cases.
