A Time wiis when niciio or tclu- vision listener limed in to 1111- politico) convention could easily clieck an tlic progress of ii roll cnll Ueciiusc slates were polled alplinbcticull.v. When Hie I'hainiuni intoned. "Alabama casts votes for so-iind-so," you knew the roll ciill just beginning. And when the roll call got down to MonlmiH.

you knew Nebraska would be Hie next slate up. Not so al Hie Democratic na- tional convention coining up in Beach, Kb. California will be tlie lead-off stale. And Nebraska will follow Massachusetts in the list, fol- lowed in turn by Georgia. It's all part of (lie Democrat- ic party's to reform con- vention procedure.

Instead of adhering lo llie al- phabetical tradition, the party held a drawing lasl January to determine Hie order of roll call. The luck of llic draw pin Cnl- ifornia, which is second only lo New York in number of dele- gates, at top of the hot. New York landed in I21h place. Nebraska's sition remained viritinlly un- changed. Previously in 28lh po- sition on the alphabetical list.

Hie CornhuFker slate received llic 29th position in the lottery. However, such largc-ilclcga- tion stales ns Ohio, Texas, Pennsylvania and Illinois pre- cede Nebraska, and by tlie time Nebraska's 2-1 delegate voles arc announced. 1,535 of llie con- vention's 3,016 delegates will have been polled. The convention's r.cw look will reflect other Democratic parly efforts to break away from what parly spokesmen have described as "the com- plicated, protracted, sometimes frivolous proceedings of the past." If the new rule book stands up. there'll be nu more parades with hired bands ami cnn- fcriptcd participants lo stage hoopla demonstrations after a candidate if.

nominated. Kadi candidate is to be per- mitted lo minutes for nomi- nation and seconding, and any spontaneous demonstrations will count against the time al- lotment. Favorite sons bricked only by their home slates cannot be nominated. The united rule is out. a delegate presumably won't lc forced lo vote against his preference.

And women will have, by rule, a more promi- nent place in the lineup of con- vention officers. Daylight savings lime may have lain dormant as a legisla- tive issue this year, hut Ne- braska farmers slill don't like it. The Nebraska Farmer Maga- zine polled a cross section of its readers and found abnnt four if every five respondents voting against DST. Cited as main reasons for ral dislike were ihe fact that children have lo board school buses in llic dark in spring and fall aisd Ihen gel home in what is adjudged by the tion to be middle of the afternoon: farm folk have lo quit work long before suncioun lo get to church meetings or civic and social functions in the eve- ning, and they lose working lime if they hare a machinery breakdown before sundown, but after parts and repair shops are closed for the day. Favoring votes.

however, came from some rural Nebras- kans who hold down non-farm jobs during (lie day and do their farming after hours. A bill in Ihe ID7I legislature lo abolish DST in Nebraska was killed on a 27-12 vote, but lawmakers did adopt a resolu- tion asking Congress lo shorten llie DST period from the present six months to approxi- mately three months from Memorial Uav lo Labor Day.

(AP) The traditional combination of salmon and ficldleheads, New Brunswick's contribution to good eating for many American visitors, has suffered a blow. Fiddle-heads are the unfolding shoots of llic ostrich fern, gath- ered as they first push through llie ground. There's no shortage of them Ihis year, but Saint John Har- bor salmon is scarce.

Canada's contention is that high-seas netting reduces Ihe number of salmon that re- turn to spawning rivers in North America. The result is thai most of the offered on New Bruns- wick menus is flown 3,000 miles from British Columbia. Il is sold in fish markets at $1.75 a pound--about in mon- ey.

Tile usual way of serving salmon is to offer il boiled, cov- ered with sauce. Some Xew Brunswickers say British Co- lumbia salmon is nol had when native fiddlphcads are served as a side dish. They arc available fresh in early Mny, frozen the rcsl of (lie year. The green's name comes from Ihe way it looks-- the curled heads of the young fern resemble the hoad of violin.

Alter the p.irenls begin lo think of a child Jis a stutterer, the speech oftentimes becomes unusual. Evidence shows thai I Ii judgment, or "diagnosis," of stuttering is one of Ihe chief causes of stuttering.

In most cases, this judgment is made the niolher. When llie mother disapproves of the "slultering," a label she herself has given a hesitancy or rcpelilion in the child's speech, the child catches Ihe attitude and may feel uneasy and disapproved of. The child, in an altempl lo do something about il, interferes with his speech even more. That is when Ihe real problem called stuttering begins to bloom. If a speech problem -seems If) be developing, first check with the doctor lo be sure thai the child is in good health.

Then, advises the Nebraska Medical Association, try to follow these suggestions: Do nnl make him conscious about his speech bv calling attention lo it.
