Red Cross aid to servicemen rises, with one in six U.S. troops aided last year at over 500 offices worldwide, higher in some overseas areas such as Vietnam.

Nebraska land investment study compares returns with bonds and stocks
A 12 year review shows state land yielded 2.7 percent annual cash return after school taxes and admin costs, far below 3.4 percent from government bonds and 4.1 percent from corporate stocks. Land value rose 37 percent, while stocks gained 226 percent, suggesting schools and state could have earned far more by investing in securities. Proposals LB 234 and LB 870 seek to authorize selling land and creating an investment board to diversify holdings. LB 234 should pass first to back LB 870.
