COUNTRY MftSON "It's too bad that the voice ve most often hear comet from the one who exerts tke pmiure 200 North Washington Pierre, South Dakota WOW! Some people get all "riled up" over the Daylight Savings Time proposition In fact, a Minnesotan dropped i note to the members of the South Dakota House of Representatives urging the members to follow suit and exempt the state from the "fast time" as the senate did. Here are some excerpts from that letter written by Theodor G. Mattson of Little Falls, Minn. DAYLIGHT LAWS RUN COUNTER TO GOD'S It says in the First Book of Moses in the Bible, God told mankind he set the sun and stars in heaven for us to go by.

When you set clocks ahead one hour, you do not go by the sun, you try to foool the people that middle of day is at 11 a.m. God's sun time; what's the use. You Daylighters go to church and do not believe what it says in the Bible. When the sun is right above from east to west, it's the middle of the day and not 1:00 p.m. It's even bad for the storks.

They have to deliver the babies an hour ahead of time. Daylight laws are patterned after Warlords. It's a dictatorship just like Hitler did, forcing the school teachers and school children to be in school at 8 a.m., forcing preachers, farmers, hard labor workers, railway workers, radio stations, doctors, travelers, buses and airplanes to set clocks ahead one hour. It's a dictatorship! The daylight laws should be outlawed in all states and let us live by God's suntime (Standard Time) as I believe Big Shots have never read the Bible and not even the First Book of Moses. Lots of people in small businesses, farmers, teachers and preachers do not like the daylight laws and tell me I am right as I have read all the Bible and no one can say I am wrong.

Why not let the people vote on it and let us get God's sun- ime (Standard Time) back ad he year through. Big Shots even wanted to move Thanks- iving Day and Christmas Day and get 13 months to a year all stupid ideas influenced by he evil spirit." So you can see there's never a dull day in the lives of our awmakers even when it comes to opening their mail. H-M-M-M! aaid: "There is only one way to handle women. It's a shame that nobody knows what it Is." FEED HIM! Some of my riends at Platte who came to Pierre last week wonderes if here was anything they could tell my friend Editor Ralph Nachtigal of the Platte Enterprise. I couldn't think of anything, jut I told them maybe they could toss him another bale of hay SORRY! Sure sorry I had to miss that big Longhorn Cattle Sale held Saturday at the Chamberlain Livestock Sales which a yo have featured some genuine Longhorn Cattle, Scotch Highlanders, buffalo, elk and even some peacocks.

I noted that the bill put out by Gene Olson and Frank Sharping and the Missouri Valley Saddle Club of Chamberlain, the sponsors of the sale, included other things, too. For instance they had some mulefoot hogs, Dutch Belt cows, deer, a pair of red fox, a span of pony mules and a Karakue ewe with lamb plus some collectors' items. Bet that was a busy and in teresting day for everyone. They even dished out real buffaloburgers in Sales Barn Cafe, too. DIDN'T MAKE IT! Sen Art Jones, Rapid City came up with a few interesting bills which didn't quite make i into the hopper before the dead For instance, he suggestec that legislation might have been drawn which would have re quired the testing of all stee cable coming into the state for tensiete strength and breakinj point.

Sen. Jones suggested tha it might well have been the "steel strand poppin'" bill af ter Sen. Leland Steele (Huron) Sen. Neal Strand (Canton) and Sen. Henry A.

Poppen (De Smet). He proposed another bil which would have required the measurement of all large shovels for correct markings size and capacity and would be known as the "Super Dooper Scooper" measure after Sen Erwin E. Dupper. Another which might have required certification of all male breeding sheep might have been aimed "Grams' Ram BUI" Af- ter Sen. Bill Grams (Sturgis).

Another might well have been a bill to study the construction of hotel and hospital bed frames. It would have been known as the Hustead Bedstead Bill after Sen. William Hustead of Wall. Then there was another which would have required carbon copies of every speech given on the floor of the senate and its sponsors would have been Anderson, Anderson. Jones and Jones after Sefl.

Art Anderson (Sioux Falls), Sen. Holger Anderson (Sioux Falls) Sen. Art Jones (Rapid City) and Sen. Art Jones (Britton). WINNER A Lyman County man was a retent Freedoms Award winner.

Airman Eggeri, 1966 graduate of Coriica High School, completed ba tic traUdaf at LacklaU Air Force VIM, Uy GLENN EStERLY PIERRE The recommendation by a senate committee that the single university bill be passed came as a surprise to most persons perhaps most of all to the regents of education. "We were not even asked for comments," Charles Burke, Pierre, president of the Board of Regents, said Saturday in criticizing the action of the Senate state affairs committee Wednesday. "Master planning for higher education has no easy answers. Realistic planning can only come when those involved the legislative and administrative branches of government work together with intelligence, goodwill and a sense of compromise," Burke said. "It would appear that all the elements of good planning have been ignored in this decision of the state affairs committee." Opponents of the single university proposal Gov.

Nils Boe included many not have to worry too much about the measure becoming law this year, Proponents acknowledge that the house of representatives would likely defeat the bill even if it was favorably considered by the senate when it comes up soon for action. The bill would not make the single university concept effective until July 1, 1971. Under the measure, the seven state colleges and universities would je branches under a central of- Fice at Pierre headed by a 'University President." An identical bill by Rep. Dex- Gunderson, Irene, a ongtime proponent of the concept, is in the house state affairs committee. Observers are curious to see low the senate bill fares on the floor, anticipating something of a power test between Boe, a Republican, and some high- ranking GOP senate leaders who strongly endorse the proposal.

The bill was introduced by Republican Sens. Robert Hirsch, Tripp, and James Abdnor, Kennebec. They say they won't relent in trying to get the bill pase. Single university supporters nvision a president in Pierre who could look objectively at the needs of each branch and eliminate unwarranted competi- between campuses for such things as new buildings and additions to the curriculum. Gunderson said too many courses are duplicated now, spreading funds too thin and resulting in emphasis on quantity instead of quality.

Abdnor believes the college and university preseidents find it difficult to resist pressure to act selfishly for their own institution. A strong president in Pierre, acting in the interests of the entire system, could overcome the pressures, Abdnor said. "There's no doubt it w6uld take a strong man," he emphasized. The heads of the branches' would be termed "vice presidents" under the plan. Although the Regents would retain control over the system with the president making recommendations to them, Hirsch said it's "within the framework of the concept in the bill to prove we don't need a Board of Regents." Burke said that "the critics Have not made a complete examination of the system." "There are many areas of excellence, recognized nationally, which we all can point to with pride," he said.

"The regents are aware that some programs offered are not of the we wpuld all desire but they will be continually upgraded within the resources provided by the legislature." Burke said legislators have been generous and "South Da- cotans should encourage them to continue providing adequate resources with reasonable latitude," adding: "This type of support plus allowing the regents adequate 'reedom of decision will continue the growth of South Dakota higher education tow a quality. Accusations relating to decisions of the board that in- 'er business is conducted on a other than merit are unfounded." Abdnor said backers of the single university bill are not saying the colleges and universities are mediocre, "We have excellent schools," he said, 'But we are getting to the breaking point of what the state can contribute. Forty per cent of our budget goes directly toward higher education. We must receive more value for our dollar." Boe said that if duplication of courses is the problem, the matter can be solved "by sit- down with the regents, as have done from time to time, officials have received suggested standards for implementation of the 1966 National Highway Safety Act that were out- ined by the new national safety agency under the Department of Commerce. The state has 30 days to file remarks with the agency before the final standards are written as permanent regulations.

Several of the proposals are already in effect in many states, including South Dakota. Mt. Vernon Airman Promoted to Captain MT. VERNON Derald Jendersee, who is stationed at Air base at Grand Forks, N. has been promoted to aptain.

"I believe when is something you can do, you should do Asked how she managed to find time for all of this, she said it was a matter of organization. "The moje you have to do," ihe said, "the more necessary it ii to budget your time. And thereby, the more you can actually get done. "Besides," she said, "I enjoy it.

A president at Pierre would too remote from the campuses to take quick or effective action, he said. Centralization has been sug- guested in studieds at various times since 1918. A 1964 study cites establishment of the executive director's office in 1955 as a compromise between those wanting centralization and those favoring the status quo.

The executive director was given the responsibility of installing uniform systems of accounting and record keeping in state institutions and handling other administrative work as directed. In a move related to the single university debate, the joint appropriations committee Friday amended a senate bill so that it would establish a higher education study committee. Composed of seven legislators, the regents' president and the budget director, it would study curriculum, policies and procedures. Emery Privates Are Trained As Mechanics EMERY Pvts. Myfon D.
