Conservation Group Fights Dam Proposal Jefferson City The Conservation Federation of Missouri has asked Army Sec retary Stanley R. Resor to oppose Water Valley Dam on the Eleven Point River. Ed Stegner, the executive secretary, noted the dam would back up water into Missouri, destroy a free flowing stream that is being considered for a national park and ruin the natural beauty.

Gov. Warren E. Hearnes and the state conservation commission also have opposed the Water Valley project. Jefferson City Gov. Warren E.

Hearnes has indicated he will ask next special session of the legislature to broaden state support of education even more. In a speech to a meeting of school administrators and the State Department of Education, he said Moday night. This was a productive legislative year. Of this we can be proud, but we cannot rest on our laurels. There is much still to be done.

the matter of educational financing alone, the problem is by no means solved. The pay of our teachers is not yet comparable to the pay of teachers in other states. We rank 28th in salaries paid, with an average salary of $5,800 or $649 less than the national average of In the special session, he said, hope and expect that further progress in education can be Among the forward steps in education he listed: A $10 million increase over ms recommendation for the University of Missouri. Increased state aid to junior colleges by $1.3 million. Reducing the student-teaeh- er ratio at the five state colleges at a cost of perhaps $2 million.

In a bulletin mailed to its membership the federation said its main reason for opposing the plan is that it would reapportion the state on the one man-one vote principle. The federation said it also opposes increasing the number of legislative employes by 100 in the House and 25 in the Senate.

this could cost an additional quarter of a million dollars per said. The reapportion proposal is amendment No. 3 in the Aug. 17 ballot. No.

1 would permit a governor to serve two four-year terms. No. 2 would allow cities to sell, as well as lease, industria plants built with revenue bonds. The farm bureau bulletin took no stand on these two proposals. Stag Party Slated A Country Club Stag will be held at 7 p.

Benefit Magazine Drive Is Underway in County A magazine campaign is being conducted by the Ladies Auxiliary to the Seth Ray David Post, Veterans of Foreign Wars. Funds from the campaign will be used by the Auxiliary to purchase additional sick room equipment to be used free of charge by residents of Nodaway County in their homes.

Sick equipment purchased in previous drives has been in constant use and more is needed to conveniently and efficiently serve residents, according to Mrs. John Stuart, president. Mrs. J. A.

Anderson, chairman of the sick room equipment, says the Auxiliary has 59 pieces of equipment, including 10 adult walkers, one walkerette, one wheel chair; 17 wooden wheel chairs; six collapsible wheel chairs; four new chrome wheel chairs and 20 pairs of crutches. The Auxiliary continues to conduct the magazine campaigns to obtain the equipment because some of the equipment is continually wearing out. For instance, this week three wooden wheel chairs and one pair of crutches had to be discarded because they had become too worn for patient use. Various parts, however, were salvaged to be used in repairing other equipment. Oklahoma City Oklahomans showered authorities with more reports of strange objects In the sky Monday night but the Air Force insisted they just had stars in their eyes.

A spokesman at Tinker Air Force Base here said an announcement from Washington gave two major possible reasons for the rash of reports of unidentified flying objects in recent days. Some of the reports, the Air Force said, could be observations of a delta meteor shower occurring from July 25 through Aug. 8. In addition, the Air Force statement said, during the past two days temperature distribution and wind speed over the Great Plains were favorable to This, the Air Force said, is a natural phenomenon causes stars to appear to twinkle or distant objects to appear to dance when viewed through layers of the No matter what the Air Force called it, UFO observers, for the third straight night, called the Highway Patrol, local police and Tinker to report dozens of sightings of flashing, colored objects. now needed.

Law Many Nodaway County residents over 72 who did not previously have enough social security work credit to get benefits may now be eligible to receive payments, Robert T. Hill, district manager of Social Security, St. Joseph, announced this week. Before the recent changes in the Social Security law, at least 6 quarters of coverage about a year and a half of work under the law were required to get benefits, Hill stated. Under the new provision, benefits may be paid in some cases to a worker (and his wife) if the worker has 3 quarters of coverage, about 9 months of work.

The exact number of quarters of coverage needed depends on the age of the worker, Hill added. A man 76 or more or a woman 73 or more in 1965 needs just 3 quarters of coverage. A man 75 or a woman 72 in 1965 needs 4 quarters of coverage, and a man 74 or a woman 71 in 1965 needs 5 quarters of erage (to qualify for benefits at age 72). Anyone younger needs six or more quarters of coverage. Widows of deceased workers may also get payment under the new provision.

However, the number of credits needed depends on both the age and the year in which the worker died or was 65, whichever is earlier, Hill added. Workers and widows of deceased workers who are eligible under this new section of the law will get $35 a month, while wives of workers who qualify will get $17.50 a month, Hill stated. Anyone who has a question about the new provision, or any part of the social security law, is invited to contact the social security office in St. Joseph at 306 Federal or, our field representative who visits your community regularly.

Immigration Law Reforms Proposed Washington The House judiciary committee today approved a bill calling for major reforms in immigration policy, including eliminatipn of the controversial national origins quota system. 1968, and until then the quotas unused by any nation would be pooled to reduce the backlog of applicants from low quota countries.

Starting July 1, 1968, a ceiling of 170,000 would be placed The 26-4 bipartisan vote for on immigration from the pres- the administration-ba eked, ent quota countries, under measure indicated it would have strong support when it comes to the House floor. A companion bill is before a Senate subcommittee. Besides scrapping the 40- year-old system of assigning quotas to individual nations, the bill would set up a new order of preference for immigrants, chiefly benefiting close relatives of U. S. citizens.

Its major change in present policv, however, would be in its abolition of the quota system. Under it, Northern and Western European nations get most of the available U. S. entry permits, but use only a fraction of them. The bill would do away with the quota system on July 1, which each country would be treated equally.

A maximum limit of 20,000 would be placed on admissions from any one nation. Western Hemisphere nations which are now allowed unrestricted immigration outside the quota, would not be affected by the proposed new law. Also outside the ceiling would be the parents, spouses and children of U. S. citizens.

The effect of the hill would be to authorize total annual immigration of about 170,000 under the ceiling, 120,000 from the Western Hemisphere and 50,000 parents, spouses and children.
