Bestcr & Swatek 9 The support of the athletic events of the public schools In this city Is noticeable lacking on the part of the residents of the community as was to be noted in the attendance at the basketball game on Thursday night and also at the football games dur ing the season that has just closed. The football and basketball teams represent a community enterprise, i he members of the teams are play ing to maintain the prestige of the itv of which they are a part and their work is as much a part of the civic life as the many other chilis iand organizations that are formed for forward looking movements or community enterprises. In state ath letic circles these teams have carried I the name of Phittsmouth through many a battle with success and honor I both to the community and them- ! selves. The attendance of the public- at the games aids the athb-tic depart ment of the school in securing need jed equipment and perhaps more ini Iportant gives to the young people j that are members of the team, the j inspiration to carry on and to make a suc-ccss of their work, knowing that they have the whole hearted and en thusiastic support Of their people back of them and that the hearts of 'the community is beating for their success and the cause that they rep resent, that of Plattsmouth. Check up Now Too many people check up i heir insurance after a lss. Then in many cases they realie that they overlooked something that they were not adequately protected. Let this Hartford agency heck up on your insurance nozi: We who are paying losses clay in and day out know how many dollars might have been saved if people had called a reliable insurance agent in time. It is our business to keep you out of trouble. We write policies right. Searl S. Davis AGENT Plattsmouth Nebiaska From Thursday's Dafly Last evening the Parent-Teachers association and friends of the Win tersteen Hill school gathered at the school building to enjoy the Christ mas entertainment that had been planned and carried out by the teach ers and pupils of the school. There I were 200 in attendance at the event. The students of the rooms of both jMiss Kdith Cook and Miss Ruth Tid ball took part in the program, an (orchestra from the room of Miss Tid , ball giving a very clever program 'that all enjoyed to the utmost and i which was a great attraction to the : event. A very clever playlet was also given, "Christmas in Mother Goose Land." and in which the little folks of the school gave a fine presenta i tion and Master Edward Stewart, who was Santa Claus in the playet, as well as the other children, were ! much surprised at the close when Santa in person appeared and shook hands with Edward as well as pre senting the treats to the little folks. The recitations and other features of the program added greatly to the enjoyment of the attendants and the occasion was voted one of the most delightful that the school has held. m REQUEST APARTMENTS s M 9 A bright and happy Christmas, A. jolly New Year too, Good luck and friends aplenty Long lite and health to J ,1 K Your Success and Happiness not only for the present but during the year 1931 is Our Wish TEAMS HOLD DEBATE M.

PULS Hardware Radios Stoves From Thursday's rally Two debate teams from the high school met Omaha North in no-decision contests at Omaha yesterday afternoon. The question being de hated is the state question on the topic of disarmament, "Resolved that the nations should disarm except for such forces as are needed for police protection." The Plattsmouth nega tive team was composed of Irene Simons, Agnes Brink and Helen Warga. The affirmative team was composed of John Becker, George Luschinsky and Ed Wehrbein. Mr. Kvasnicka was well pleased with the showing of the debaters and appre ciated very much the hospitality and sportsmanship of the Omaha oppon ents who were city champions last year. Two teams other than the two which met Xorth will clash with Nebraska City here this afternoon at the high school at four o'clock. The regular conference season will begin about February first. City to Have Large Holiday Decorations Additional Intersection Decorations to Feature the Holiday Season Here. With the placing of the beautiful and elaborate decorative streamers streamers over the Sixth and Main street intersection and the realization of the fact that it was adding 100 per cent to the city and carrying out the Christmas spirit, there has been a desire of the other parts of the city to also share in the Christmas time decorations and which is now to be realized. The business men in the various sections of the city have joined in the move and sufficient funds were secured today so that decorations v.-ill be placed at the other intersections in the main business section that will make it truly a wonderful bevy of color and beauty at night when the many colored lights are turned on. This is the first year that the de corations have been carried out in such an elaborate manner and the re tail section of the Chamber of Com merce which sponsored the move planned well as this city will be one of the most beautifully decorated in this part of the state and one that certainly will cany out the real Christmas greeting to the visitors here as well as our own people. The pipe line work in this section has for the past summer and at this time made the demand for apart ments brisk and there is always a great many that are seeking furnish ed apartments and which are scarce in a city of this size where there is lordinarly not a large transent pop ulation. The present winter has caused a number of the residents from the south who were here during the sum mer to return home, but the digging of the line from the south part of the state to this city will bring a large number of new people here, al ready there being many inquiries as to the securing of furnished apart ments, many desiring to make- their home here while the work is being extended through this state, the men feeling that this is a very logical spot for the location of their home as long as the work is going on and much more pleasant than a nomad existence of camp life for the families. LAST MINUTE GIFTS0-1MEN LOCATED IN TEXAS The many friends here of Miss Jeanette Weber, will be interested in learning that this lady, who has been in the employe of the Castle Fi nance Co., since leaving, is now located at Houston.

RABIES BECOMING SERIOUS To Old Friends Tried and True and to Many New Ones Too We embrace the opportunity which Christmas offers to give expression of feelings of appreciation we have for the old friends, tried and true and to the new ones it has been our pleasure to make in the year past. We thank each of you for favors of the past and assure you that as we look to the New Year we do so with the expectation of taking advantage of every opportunity to serve and please you. MAIL DELAYS TRAIN From Thursday's Iiallv The flow of the Christmas mail j has proven very heavy and the hand ling of it has been a great boost to the railroads who have carried it and especially the trans-continental mail. This morning No. 6 east bound (train over the Burlington was de layed in Omaha for forty-five minutes to permit the handling of mail des- itined for the east. From now until Christmas the mail will be growing in volutin and to handle it the gov ernment has employed thousands of clerks all over the country. REJOICE IN NEW SON Mr. and Mrs. Donald Nickles, re siding west of Mynard. are rejoicing lover the arrival at their home of a fine seven and a half pound son who with the mother is doing nicely and the occasion has brought a great deal of happiness to the membero of the family circle. Rabies has broken out in Platts mouth as shown by the occurance of three positive cases. The heads of these dogs were sent to Dr. L. Van Es of the Nebraska university and his findings show that these animals were positive rabies. As several parties were bitten by these dogs, it is becoming serious. Eight or nine parties are taking the serum treatment and to elate are getting along nicely. Dr. C. C. Hall, chief sanitary officer of Omaha was interviewed in the control of such an outbreak and he states that the vac cination of all dogs is the only scien tific means of protecting the dogs and thereby protecting our children who play with them. Muzzling of dogs is being tried but it Is almost impossible to get a muzzle that will keep a dog from biting. More information on this subject will be printed later. We shall enter the New Year with renewed vigor and aggressiveness, more determined than ever to merit your patronage. We expect to work with you in the spirit of co-operation, not only to the end that our business dealings may be pleasant but that our city and community may be made greater, more prosper ous and attractive.
