Reluctantly Agrees to Take Post for Another Year Present Offi cers are Retained. From Friday Taily Last night's annual meeting of the Chamber of Commerce wa3 very well attended despite a multitude of other attractions calling for attendance of various members of the civic body c Isewhere. Chairmen of various committees were present and rendered brief re ports of their year's activities, chief of which was that of the Industries committee. Chairman C. C. "Wescott r.f this committee reported on a num number of prospective industries con tacted by his committee during 1931, and with one or more of which ne gotiations are still pending. A dis play of the products of the one in dustry brought here during the year. the Nebraska basket factory, had been arranged on the stage at the library by the committee and was unveiled as concrete evidence of what is bein done along this line. The display con sisted of some fifty baskets cf various sizes and colors and was lighted with flood lights, showing it off in splendid shape. In this connection, Mr. Slay man. inventive genius of the basket industry was called upon and told of the concern's plans for 1932, Includ ing the installation of additional new machinery designed to speed up op erations and increase output. This will be the only machine of its kind in the country and will give the local concern a great advantage in manu facturing costs. Chairman Y url or the retail sec tion reported on their activities, giv ing the enlightening information that during 1931 the retailers had collect ed from their membership the sum of f 1.1 85. all of which was spent for civic advancement. This sum exceeds the amount expended by the Chamber itself and shows the generosity of Plattsmouth business men when it comes to "helping out."w The two organizations', although closely related, have their own alms and problems, each filling its place in i the community life, the Chamber's activities being city-wide, while those of the Retail Section cover the things of particular interest to the business life of the community, although they play their full part in advancement of the city generally. E. J. Richey. of the Railroad com mittee reported on activities of the BR EX, now employing ISO men, as compared with 66 a year ago, and working on a six day schedule, com pared with five a year ago. The car output has been increased from 109 to 400. Further expansion of this industry is expected during the com ing year. Fallowing the reports of officers aid committees, including a report by Treasurer Fred Rea. the matter of flection of officers for 1932 was de clared in order. The name of II. A. Schneider was put before the meeting for re-election to the office of president, and despite his emphatic declination and refusal to permit the nomination to be voted upon, he was "pushed" into the office for another twelve months, over his vigorous protests. The task of being head of such an organization requires the taking of much time from one's personal business and the promise of Mr. Schneider, as finally given, to con tinue on the job for another year, was greeted with applause. The meeting proceeded to the re election of the other 1931 officers, as follows: Searl S. Davis, vice presi dent, and Fred Rea. treasurer. The office cf secretary, together with all committee personnel is filled by ap pointment at the hands of the presi dent elect and will be announced at an early date. With the pertinent business dis posed of. the meeting was turned in to an informal discussion of city prob lems and everyone present was asked to voice their viewpoint and sugges tions along these lines. Among the matters discussed were taxation, road conditions, etc. The year 1931, although a year of small activity in most lines, under the guidance of President Schneider and his efficient directorate, produced re sults in civic matters far above the average, for besides locating one new industry here and witnessing a fine increase in BREX activities, has pro duced an Industry prospect of great proportions that now seems assured of being located here during the com ing year, and which will afford em ployment to a good number of people the year 'round. Until definite ar rangements are concluded publicity is not being given the nature of the en terprise, but it bhould be most grati fying to all citizens Of Plattsmouth and vicinity to know that Its civic body has been on the job throughout our worst depression year,, working to advance the interests, not only of our town, but Cass county generally. The Journal congratulates the of ficers who have served so faithfully, at a sacrifice to their own business, and believes that in the coming year they will be able to show even great er results. Certainly, without their aid. nothing would have been achiev ed along these lines.

The injury was not thought serious at nist out A-ray examin ations of the hip has disclosed that the hip bone was quite badly bruised.

Six Persons are Injured when Car Driven into Train Two Are Severely Injured as Auto Drives Into Side of Moving Burlington Train From Thursday's Dally An auto party of Omaha musicians and entertainers, returning home from a broadcasting engagement a radio station, KICK at Red Oak Icwa, were wrecked late last night at the Oreapolis crossing of the Burling ton when their car was driven into west bound freight train No. 79. Six persons were injured, two of them severely, while the auto w?s badly wrecked as the result of the collision.

The injured members of the party were brougnt on into tnis city oy passing motorists and the Cotner bus. their injuries being treated here by Dr. T. P. Livingston. It was found that Mr3. Spencer and Smith had suffered the most severe injuries. Mrs. Spencer having a broken arm while Smith may have suffered a fractured vertebra. All of the party were more or less cut and bruised. The front of the car was crushed and battered where the auto had plowed into the train, members of the party being hurled from the car, the babe being tossed from the mother's arms out Into the snow by the force of the impact. The driver of the car stated that he did not see the red light of the electric warning signal at the cross ing and failed to hear the sound of the bell that warns of the fact that a train is on the tracks within the block. The first intimation that he had of the Impending wreck was when he was Just a few feet from the moving train. - Both the train and the car were going slow at the time the crash came, or the death of all of the members of the auto party would probably have resulted. BELIEVE YOU HE, MB. RIPLEY Since Al Smith chose to run, but did a bad job of it, Robert M. Wall ing, sportsman, benefactor, hunter of note and occasional Abstractor of Titles, has held that the present ad ministration is a big bust in farm re lief. Yesterday Mr. Walling stole away from his arduous duties and accom panied by his friend Silent Cal Ledgway, Clerk of the Court, drove," snow-shoed and mushed to regions adjacent to the "Gast City" where the wiley rabbit is known to seek cover. After hours of fruitless tramping the nimrods took to their car and started home, slowly, too, to give them ample time to construct plaus ible answers to the oft repeated in terrogation. "What no rabbits?" But luck was with them; an old rab bit, nationality, "Jack" hopped too near the wheels of the car, and his soul ascended into the ethereal realm, where all good jack-rabbits are wont to go. Mr. Walling proudly displayed the trophy to his wife, and conversation drifted to hassen pfeffer, cooked to a nicety. He called in a close friend to u" l"e uum:iiiuB. biauug u uau u-u "P'iee. J" Jf"" do the butchering, stating he had had dressing wild fowl but knew nothing about preparing this kind of game. The hide was removed from the jack, and salted away for tanning, Incision was made, and the viscera revealed a bright Lincoln penny, Robert could hardly believe his own eyes; stood agast and soliloquized: Now, remember what I've often told you the farmers won't sell their corn 'cause thev can't tret anvthine - . , ' " for it, the country is going to hell when the rabbits won't even eat it. STORM BLOCKS TJP ROADS From Thursday's Dally The heavy snow of Tuesday has served to block many of the roads over the county and few have been in the city from out in the county in the past two days. A case was set for hearing in the county court Wed nesday that had to be postponed on account of the fact that one of the parties in the action was snowbound on his farm near South Bend. A call from the farm.1t,oda1f, 8tted that roads were still blocked and the party was unablefi to reach either Louisville or South Bend to catch a train, and auto travel was out of all question. Charles Hula, representative of the Metropolitan Insurance Co.. was one of the victims of the snow on Tuesday evening, he havine been out in the county and starting back home, reached as far as the Becker school on the Louisville road and there was blocked by the snow. Mr. Hula was stuck about 5 In the after- noon and started to walk on into this city, reaching here at 9 o'clock Tuesday night in the midst of the cold and snow. .WEDDINGS SHOW GAIN The year 1931 which was notable as one of the years of national depres sion, did not prove so. in-the mar riage license department of the office of the 'county judge. In the twelve month period that ' has just closed, there were 200 licenses issued, the largest number In. any previous year having been 115. or a gain of eighty five over any fcevious year in the history of the office. County Judge Duxbury ascribes a large part of the gain over past years to the Iowa state law that requires a five day notice prior to the issuance of the license, ana which is not popula with. those seeking married happi ness. The handineee of this city to the Iowa border fits brought many here for their mat1'! ages. A large number of Omaha ueople have been maried nere - in., w past year by Judge Duxoury. . .

North Takes a Hard Fought Game, 22 to 17 Platters Play Superb Game But Too Much Zentz Accounts for 16 of Visiters Points From Friday's Daily The basketball fans who were in attendance at the Plattsmouth North high game last evening at the local gym, had the opportunity ol witnessing a real game, one thai was not decided until the very close. When the final whistle blew. Xorth was cut in front by three baskets, 22 to 17. The Vikings had come to the con test assured of a victory, but which faded greatly after the contest was underway. Coach Jackson kept his first string assignment in the game for practically the entire x-ontest, they being forced to extend them selves to the utmost. Shortly after Referee Edd Wood of Nebraska City had started the con test, Zeigler fouled Forbes, the titan haired guard making the shot good for the' first score. In a fast nnd fur ious struggle Dccat and Arn each made field goals to run the local total to five as the qunrter ended. F. Davis, guard of North, was the only scorer for his team with a free toss on the foul of Donat. With the second quarter opening Zentz broke away from the locals. gaining positions in the vicinity of the Platter basket and from where his shooting eye placed many safe shots. Zentz scored four field goals in the second period, Alwine adding another for good measure. For the Platters Knofiicek scored a field goal and Arn two free tosses. The score at the half was 11 to 9 for North. In - the third period both teams were at full npnting speed anu tne floor work of Forbes of a type that marked him as one of the beEt high school guards that the season will produce. In this period the Platters tied the score of their opponents re peatedly, Rummel. Arn and Donat each counting, while Zentz with two and F. Davis with one basket made the score at the close of the third period IT to 15 or North". - ' ' - I Two field goals by Zentz and a free toss by Thompson marked the winning points for North while free throws by Rummel and Forbes rep resented the sum of the Platter scor ing. In the last few moments the stalling game of the Vikings pre vented the Platters from gaining possession of the ball. The tabulated score of the game was as follows: Plattsmouth FG FT 1 , 0 2 0 PF 1 0 2 0 0 TP 3 6 4 Rummel, f 1 Arn, f 2 Donat, c 2 Forbes, g 0 Knofiicek, g 1 17 TP 0 2 0 16 3 1 0 North Fa 0 1 FT 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 pp 1 1 2 3 1 0 0 Zeigler, f Alwine, f Davis, G., f 0 8 1 Zentz, c Davis.
