PAGE SIX PLATTSMOUTH SEMI WEEKLY JOURNAL THURSDAY, APRIL 10. 1930. Nebraska is Urged to Observe HOW THE Arbor Day temperature UNDER THE OLIVER FLAG URGES NEIGHBORLY TOUCH Speaking before the annual dinner meeting of the Chamber of Commerce, Elmwood, Nebraska, Tuesday evening April S, Frank D. Tomson of the Woods Brothers Corporation, Lin coln, emphasized the value of neigh borly understanding between the business folks of the town and the business folks of the country. ' "The development of any town or city," said Mr. Tomson, "depends chiefly, if not entirely, upon the peo ple who live round about in its trade territory. It is these country neigh bors who furni.sh the patronage for your business concerns and, to a very large extent, you of the towns and cities are, or should be, their patrons. Any development that im proves their situation likewise bene fits yours: on the other hand,, noth ing that affects, adversely or other wise, your prospects and development but that bears a close relationship -FOR- Spring 7 A AAW II D WL A Other full-fashioned hose in our large stock range in price from 98 to $1.95 pair Ve Lead in Hosiery Novelties New Heels, Correct Colors 25 Lost Time Is Lost Money in the Plowing Season TheOlivcrHart-ParrTractorwill gel your plowing done on time and at the lowest possible cost.

These, more than any other group anywhere, are of first import ance to your interests and perman ence, and I commend to you the value of mutual understanding for your mutual protection and benefit." Continuing, Mr. Tomson said: "The modern highway is increasing the problem of the smaller cities and towns and makes necessary a more intelligent analysis and understand ing of the situation in order that the years of effort that have been made in local development do not become wasted effort. The type of merchandising, banking and profes sional service in any town will clas sify and largely determine the des tiny of the place." , The greatest sacrifices on school tablets at the Bates Book & Gift shop, 3c each or 35c a dozen.

State Superintendent Tavlor Requests Every School to riant at Least One Tree. "Nebraska, as the home of J. Ster ling Morton, the founder of Arbor day," says State Superintendent Tay lor in a statement to county and city school superintendents, "should be particularly zealous in its program of tree planting and landscape beauti- fication. The conservation of our na tural resources is of vital importance. affecting, as it does, the welfare and comfort of our people. Our trees are not only of tremendous economic im portance, but they have far-reaching cultural values which are equally worthwhile. As state superintendent of public instruction, we wish to urge the proper observance of Arbor day, April 22, in the hope that in every school in Nebraska appropriate programs may be given, and that on every school ground in the state there may be at least one tree planted. The planting of trees represents but the first step and this must, of course, be followed by the making of some adequate provision for their proper care. Better to plant one tree and to provide for its care so that it may survive, than to plant ten trees and permit them to die for want of proper attention. Last year County Superintendent C. S. Strickler reported that there were trees growing on every school ground in Hayes county. Such a re cord represents a distinctive achieve ment. "Tree planting in Nebraska," a book by Dr. G. E. Condra of the con servation and survey department of the University of Nebraska, is one of several books recommended by Mr. Taylor. As the supply of trees form erly secured thru the extension divi sion of the University of Nebraska is reported exhausted, trees for planting will have to be obtained this year from nurserymen of the state. Dr. R. J. Pool of the university suggests, says Mr. Taylor, that greater use be made of trees, plants and shrubs growing and acclimated in nearly every locality and which may be had for only the trouble of digging. 'We must bestir ourselves if we hope to be worthy of the name 'The .Tree Planters state," says Mr. Tay lor. "Many of us have witnessed the transformation which has been wrought in an entire community thru the activities of the school." TALKS ON CUBA From Wednesday's Dally Rotarians at their weekly meet ing yesterday at the Majestic cafe had the opportunity of enjoying a very fine word picture of the island of Cuba, given by one who had been in close and intimate touch with con ditions there some thirty years ago -C. A. Rawls, formerly a lieutenant in Co. B of the Third Nebraska in fantry and with which organization he saw service in the then new is land republic. Mr. . Rawls touched on tne nature ot tne country, Its natural resources and crops and gave a very interesting picture of the peo ple and their customs. The club also had present the two high school students, who are to be honorary members of the Rotary for the coming month Charles Nowa- cek, senior, and Chester Wiles, jun ior. The program was in charge of L. O. Minor who had arranged a very pleasing offering was evinced by the close attention to the various numbers that were presented. The Rotary quartet gave one of their excellent numbers at the noon meeting before departing for Falls City for the night gathering. The club had as a visitor N. C. Ab bott, member of the Nebraska City club. V GREENWOOD IS BURGLARIZED From Wednesday's Dally Sometime last night the enterpris ing little city of Greenwood in the northwest part of the county, was the scene of the operation of the gang of auto bandits whose activ ities have been noted over different parts of the county for the past week. The first Intimation receiver of the visit was the call received this morning by Sheriff Bert Reed from Greenwood and announcing that the Chevrolet sedan of Dr. H. W. Mc Fadden had been stolen from the family garage sometime during the night. Hardly had this message been received by the sheriff than came another that the Anderson general store had also been entered and some of the contents taken, the exact amount of which had not been fully determined. Sheriff Reed left as soon as pos sible for Greenwood and in the mean time the officers at the state sheriff's office at Lincoln, only a short ways from Greenwood were notified and on the scene to try and secure finger prints or any clue Uiat might aid in the capture of the gang.

NOTES 'l-H-H-H "I-H-I-H-H-H- The Clean Up and Paint Up cam paign is a great thing for Platts mouth. Chairman Duxbury'a Civic Improve ment committee plans to publish an honor roll listing those who clean up or paint up their premises, as fast as they are brought to his attention and asks that all those knowing of In stances where interior or exterior decoration or general cleaning up of premises is going on, advise him of the same, so they may be included in the honorable mention class. The Greenwood folks are getting their pep up and are going out after gravel on the west end of the Platts-mouth-Louisville-Greenwood road. A splendid short-cut route to Lincoln will thus be provided, to say nothing of the opportunity it will give resi dents of the northwestern part of the county of getting to Plattsmouth in all kinds of weather.

This means that at all seasons of the year and under all operating conditions, the new Polarine gives more uniform and more dependable protection to your motor. You get better motor performance and less motor wear. Because the new Polarine deposits less than half as much carbon as old process oils, compression varies less and the oil stays clean longer. In every respect a premium quality oil the new Polarine is sold at no advance in price. STANDARD OIL COMPANY OF NEBRASKA at Red Crown Service Stations and Dealers everywhere in Nebraska suppers, a feature that usually gets old in one or two years.

Clayte Rosencrans suggested the colored sticker idea as superior to ordinary plain color printing on sta tionery as a means to help advertise the new bridge and the short route it affords to points west.

PLAN RETURN ENTERTAINMENT Prom Tuesday's Dally From yesterday's South Omaha Sun we glean excerpts from the account of a meeting of the executive com mittee of South Omaha post, Ameri can egion touching on the return en tertainment for Plattsmouth post in the near future. Here is the para graph : "A committee consisting or Louis Cinek, Joseph Krajicek and Dr. Ed ward Fittle was appointed to make final plans for an inter-city party at which members of Hugh J. Kearns post of Plattsmouth will be guests. "It was decided to hold the party, which, said one of the committeemen, will probably be a dinner-dance at the German Home on South 13th 6treet, in the near future." It will be recalled that the South Omaha Legionnaires and their wives were here in large numbers some six weeks ago for a similar entertain ment at the Legion community build ing, the dinner party number 220.
