c ? VOL. NO. XLV PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA, THURSDAY, FEBR. 14, 1929 NO. 4 History of Scouting in Plattsmouth Ten Years of Activity Find Local Units Part of the Great Na tional Organization. With the nineteenth anniversary of the national Boy Scout movement being observed in the country it is entirely fitting that a review of the Scout movement in this city be giv en the local Scout movement being some 10 years old altho the actual participation of the Plattsmouth Scout organization in that of the na tional body covers a less period of time. The first urge of the Scout move ment was found about the time of the outbreak of the world war when a number interested in boy work or ganized hiking parties of the boys and which covered merely the first startings of the intensive courses that is a part of the Scout work. In these organization in 1917-1S, C. A. Rawls, Emil Weyrieh and Carl Schmidt- mann, served as leaders. Later Rev. A. V. Hunter, then pas tor cf the Methodist church took up the matter of organizing boys into Scout troops and broached to the board of education the matter of the use of the high school gym for the use of Scout activities and since that time the board of education has serv ed as the great factor in the Scout work by allowing the use of the gym and the school building for the meetings and activities of the Scouts. The first steps of local Scouting to become a part of the national organ ization occurred in 1923 when Clar ence H. Peden, one of the high school faculty, was named as Scoutmaster and proceeded to put the organiza tion on a definite footing and giving the boys here the benefits of the na tional program of the Scouts. Mr. Peden divided the boys into troops and patrols and outlining definite programs of instruction and work that would lead to the proficiency of the Scouts, the efforts of Mr. Peden being to give the first real organ ization of the boys. The organization that wa9 per fected by Mr. Peden was expanded and carried on by Irving F. Wiltse, scoutmaster in 1925, Mr. Peden leav ing his school work to take a special sourse at Columbia university and he is now Scout executive at Sher idan, Wyoming. Mr. Wiltse was very successful in his work here and laid aside his active school work later to also adopt training as his profession and after two years in the Philip pines as an executive is now in the Omaha area. The local Scout movement was constantly growing and the regime of Floyd Flack was marked by the growing of the various troops and also in this period of 1926-27 the government of Scouting wras enlarged by the national body and the area control of Scouting adopted, this city being made a part of the Nemaha area which includes Cass, Otoe, Nemaha and Richardson counties with Nebraska City as as the area headquarters. The district govern ment comprises the counties and Plattsmouth is the district headquar ters for Cass county. The present scoutmaster 13 C. L. Slown, members of the high school faculty and who by his pleasant per sonality and interest has greatly as sisted in the developing of the Scout work in this city. In the past year national head quarters of the Scouts have offered several changes in the handling of the Scout work and each troop now meets alone ercept on the general meetings when all of the troops meet together. In this city the three troops of the Scouts have been divided under the sponsorship of several organiza tions of the city and where the com mittees of the various units have the supervision of the Scouts with the general executive committee guiding the affairs of the Scout organization.

County Court Has Busy Time on Bridge Case Jury Impanneled and Attorneys Go to Real Legal Battle Over Al leged Breach of Contrast From Monday's Rally This morning the county court was the liveliest spot in the court house with the legal machinery going at top speed and a jury called in to as sist in hte determining o facts in the case. The action was that of Lee Carter vs. the Union Bridge and Construc tion Co., of St. Louis and Kansas City, the company which has the construction of the new $700,000 bridge over the Missouri river at this place. Mr. Carter is suing on an alleged breach of contract or agreement which he claims to have been given him when he came to this city in the first part of January to work on the construction of the bridge. The plaintiff claims that he was assured of work for eight or ten months at carpenter work in the construction of the bridge, claiming to have had this assurance from employes of the company at St. Louis. He further claims that on the representation he brought his family here and was later laid off from the work on the bridge, or rather the carpenter work altho offered other work at a lower hourly wage. The bridge company denied the agreement or assurance of the per- manacy of the work on the bridge and also denied that there was any specified assurance of the time that the men would be employed for. The company claims that all carpenters are hired on the day basis and the demand of work causes men to be hired or laid off as the needs of the work demands. There was several witnesses on both sides and the attorneys, D. O. Dwyer for the plaintiff and W. A. Robertson for the defendant enliv ened the occasion with several clashes on the legal points of the case. The jury selected to try the issues are Mike Hild, A. J. Engelkemeler, George Born, J. G. Lohnes, William Starkjohn and T. E. Olson. DEATH OF MRS. MARK WHITE From Monday's Dally A message was received here this morning by Mrs. F. R.

From Monday's Dairy For the first time in the athletic history of the local school the Schuy ler basketball team came to this city, making a very pleasing addition to the regular schedule and offering the possibilities of further continued athletic relations with these two schools. Th fact that Plattsmouth was the home school of Coach Frank Grado ville of the Schuyler team, made him desire to pay a visit here with his aggregation of husky lads and to add this school to the list of those with whom the Colfax county seat will have games in both football and basketball. The visitors here were at the short end of a 17 to 10 score but in the latter part of the game their attack on the locals caused a little appre hension in the blue and white camp that Schuyler might make their only victory at the expense of the local quintet but this was soon dispelled when McClanahan and WTiles each scored baskets to place the Platters in a definite lead that could not be headed. In the opening quarter of the game Galloway and McClanahan each tallied field goals while Hadraba se cured a free throw to give the Plat ters a start for victory while for Schuyler, B. Shonka scored a field goal for two points. The second quarter was one where the guarding of both teams was in evidence and here little scoring power was shown by either team, McClanahan registering a free throw for Plattsmouth while Stillinger of Schuyler made a good toss from the side for a goal. In the third quarter of the game Hadraba. veteran of the blue and white was able to get his shooting eye to working &ul looped the bas ket twice, but failed in the free tosses. Stillinger of the visitors again scored for Schuyler. , During the contest Coach Rothert sent in several substitutes and in the final period Fitch made a free throw for the Platters, as did Captain Joe Hartford, while McClanahan and Wiles each scored field goals. The tabulated score of the game was as follows: Plattsmouth FG FT PF TP Hadraba, rf 2 1-5 0 5 Galloway, If 11-3 0 3 Fitch, If 0 1-2 11 McClanahan, c 2 1-3 0 5 Hartford, rg 0 1-2 11 Wiles, lg 10-0 0 2 6-15 17 Schuyler FO FT PF TP 1 2 B.
