Head C. of C.
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.

cian and radio engineer, is suffering

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 car was driven by Alvin H
Spencer, 416 North Forty-first ave
nue, Omaha, manager of the Black
Cat club on Fort Crook boulevard
He was accompanied by his wife and
fourteen months old baby girl; Jack
Ojrlesby. orchestra leader at the Black
Cat club, Frank Smith. 2629 Cald

Thelma Watts, an enteitainer at the
club.
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

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.

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 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

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
