cal Society msri. 7 VN &uttBmouth Journal VOL. NO. XLV PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA, MONDAY, JUNE 17, 1929. NO. 39 Telephone Lines are to be Rebuilt Here Two Gangs of Workmen Are Busy in Rebuilding and Regrouping the Farm Lines. Tho Lincoln Telephone & Tele graph Co., which serves this section of Nebraska with a splendid service, is Laving some very extensive work done on the lines that lead into this city on both local and long distance lines. One of the largest tasks that the telephone linemen have at this time i? that of rebuilding and regrouping the farm lines that operate out of the riattsmouth exchange. The farm lines are being arranged in groups of approximately eight subscribers on a line altho in some cases ten are allowed to use the same line, but this is the limit of the number that will be served on one line, the cut ting down of the number of each line adding to the efficiency of the ser vice. On the long distance lines the com pany is rebuilding their all copper circuit from this city and Nebraska City and on the Omaha-Lincoln long distance lines that pass through this city. To faciliate the handling of the long distance work in the southeast part of the state an additional cir cuit is being built that will connect Nebraska City, Falls City and St. Joseph, Missouri, this making it pos sible to give the subscribers a much better service in their calls over the iong distance lines and with the de sire to make the service a matter of just the very best that can be found in any telephone system. Manager C. II. Jensen of the riattsmouth exchange states that this rebuilding program has been one of the most extensive In this part of the state and the telephone company has expended several thousand dol lars in this line of the work. The subscribers of the telephone company will appreciate very much the efforts that are being made to give them the very best of service which has been the outstanding pol icy of the Lincoln Telephone & Telegraph company since taking over the local lines. RETURNS FROM ENGLAND John McLean, who has been in England for the past two years with his aged mother and as well as the relatives of Mrs. McLean, has re turned to this country and is at th present time at Omaha with the Richard Avard family. Mrs. McLean has not been in the best of health and her condition was such that she remained in England while the hus band came back to this country to look after some business affairs.

The camp site is one of the most attractive in this picturesque sec tion of Nebraska and lies in the bluffs that guard the west bank of tha Missouri river and can be reach ed by the road leading over Winter steen hill or the bottom road past the ferry landing. Here a small creek flows through the hills to empty into the Missouri rover a short distance to the east and a large knoll commanding the creek and with a fine grassy plot surrounding it with large shade trees that make a pleasant shelter on the hot summer days. On the knoll is located a large sized cabin that was erected some years ago and which will be rearranged and made into the camp headquarters by the Legion. The members by their individual efforts will have the cabin placed in first class shape and provided with tables, chairs and a stove so that cooking of meals or preparation of luncheons by the picnic parties of the members or the scouts may be possible, and the interior of the cabin will be repaired and placed in first class shape in every way and making a fine feature of this ideal camping place. Mrs. Shopp ha3 been most gener ous in placing this section of land and cabin at the disposal of the Legion and in which organization of which her son. William H. Shopp, is a past commander, and has had a great interest in the Legion and its work and this summer camp will provide a most delightful recreation spot.

Band Concert Locations are to be Decided Sentiment of the Citizens at Large and in Nearby Communities Sought Park Leads From Thursday's Dally The second of the summer season of band concerts was given last evening at the court house lawn and while the attendance was inter fered with to a greater or less ex tent by the cool weather, still there was a large number present to enjoy the selections furnished by the Elks band. One number was particularly appropriate for the occasion, "But ton Up Your Overcoat." The program embraced the more popular of the standard band numbers as well as several of the late hits. In connection with the band con cert it is urged that the citizens take advantage of the occasion to send in their votes as to the location of the concerts for the coming season, the ballot is being printed in the Even ing Journal and which ballot is sup posed to be checked with the loca tion desired, signed and turned over to J. W. Holmes, chairman of the entertainment committee of the Chamber of Commerce, the ballot be ing taken to the postoffiee or mailed. It is desired that as large an ex pression as possible of the choices between Garfield park and the court house lawn be made In order that the committee can feel that the citi zens are taking an interest in the concert and their location. In the votes so far received the Garfield park location seems to be the more popular altho there is such a small number cast that it cannot give a large expression of the gen eral sentiment. The Chamber of Commerce and the city who are sponsoring the con certs wish to have them located wherever the majority of the people wish them to be staged and it is up to the citizens to get busy and make their expression of the loca tion and the will of the majority will prevail in the matter of the concert location. Get your ballot out of the Journal and vote for your choice and do so between now and the first of the coming week so that the location of the concert can be definitely decided upon.

John McLean is Home from a Trip to England Finds the Conditions in Old Home Country Still Far From Prosperous From Friday's Daily This morning John McLpan, who arrived in Omaha Monday came down from the metropolis to visit with the old friends in this city after a short rest in Omaha at the home of his brother-in-law, Richard Avard and family. Mr. McLean, as was previously stated in the Journal, was compelled to hasten home by the fact that his passport was expiring and under the rules of the regulations of the gov ernment it was necessary to return after a two years absence abroad, to keep his citizenship from lapsing. On making the return at this time Mr. McLean was compelled to leave the wife in England as she is just recovering from the effects of a very serious operation performed at one of the London hospitals and which made her condition such that the at tending physicians .advised that the patient could not stand the crossing at this time. The hospital where Mrs. McLean was operated on is one that has exclusive lady surgeons and nurses and is one of the largest and best known in England. Since the operation Mrs. McLean has gone to the home of a brother near Brighton where she will remain until late August or early September when she will rejoin Mr. McLean in this coun try. Mr. McLean reports that his aged mother who resides at Newcastle-on- the-Tyne in the north part of Eng land, is very poorly and in addition to her blindness has suffered from a general breakdown in her health. Th aged lady has made her home in this place since childhood and old time neighbors are now residing with her in the ancestral home and assisting in her care. The conditions in general in Eng land are not so good, Mr. McLean re ports, as the great amount of unem ployment in the country still exists and makes a weighty problem for the government to handle and is one of the great tasks that the McDonald government must face when it takes over the reins of the British govern ment.

PRISONERS HAVE TROUBLE From Saturdays Dall r This morning, the Cass county jail, usually a very quiet and peace able place, was the scene of a very loud and remonstrative argument between two of the prisoners who are enjoying the hospitality of the coun ty. The disagreement seems to have arisen over priority rights to the use of the hot water that is sup plied to the prisoners bath and the parties involved proceeded to present their claims in a loud manner that caused the dwellers in the Coronado apartment house just east of the jail to suspect a riot was being staged. Sheriff Reed was called from his office in the court house and with Chief of Police Libershal, proceeded to get the dispute settled and the right and prior claims to the hot water straightened out. From the loud talking and the excited voices of the prisoners it was feared that they were doing violence to each other but the affair was decidedly of a peaceful nature with vocal demonstration being the worst of the affair.
