A MOST WORTHY UNDERTAKING
The memorial birthday balls being
arranged all over hte nation in honor
cf President Roosevelt's birthday on
next Tuesday, offer to everyone an
opportunity to aid in a small way in
paying tribute to Franklin D. Roose
velt for his honest and sincere efforts
to aid the common man, and help
ing to provide funds for the carrying
on of the battle against dread infan
tile paralysis, so nobly begun under
direction of the Warm Springs Foun
dation movement. The raising of this
money does not mean that it will all
be spent at Warm Springs. In fact
it is the plan to establish other study
centers and treatment facilities all
over the nation to help speed the day
when the effects of this terrible dis
ease can be minimized and cure pro
vided for all who have suffered there
from. The great come-back of our
beloved president has shown what can
be accomplished and everyone should
be willing and glad to aid in enlarg
ing the program by buying a ticket
to the president's birthday ball next
Tuesday night. Every cent of the net
proceeds will be forwarded to Mr.
Roosevelt, and he in turn will add it
to the large ? mount of personal cash
contriDution ue u a..
carry on this work.
Tickets are in the hands of many
people in the community, but if you
have trouble locating anyone who can
supply you, go to the chairman of the
ticket committee, C. A. Rosencrans,
who will be delighted to sell you one
cr a dozen. In fact, Clate prefers to
deal in dozen lots. A special ticket
drive will be made on the streets to
morrow and everyone should respond
and by so doing feel proud of having
a part in this great program.
Radio facilities will be provided at
the hall Tuesday night, to hear the
address of the president, which will
be delivered around 10:30 C. S. T
and a part of the supporting portion
cf the one-hour birthday program
may also be tuned in. Dancing will
start at 9 p. m. and be continued to
an early hour in the morning, to mu
sic furnished by the Hells-Bells orchestra.

Platters Win
from Peru Prep;
Score 21 to 13
Contest Staged at Peru College Court
Kiner Leads the Locals in
Their Scoring.
The Platters Friday evening at
Peru advanced another step in their
victory record for the season of 1933
3 4, when they won from the Peru
Prep by the score of 21 to 13.
The Prepsters had won the past
week from Nebraska City but in the
contest last evening were unable to
get going in the opening half and
their last minute rally was not
strong enough to stem the blue and
white gain.
For the Platters it was the first
game that they have played on the
large college court, McCleary being
the only member to have played
there two years ago.
In the opening quarter the Plat
ters started to go places and a few
minutes of play found McCleary scor
ing and from then on the battle was
all for the blue and white. Velreik,
forward of Peru was the only one to
solve the Platter defense in the first
half, scoring two field goals, in fact
he being the only member of his
team to be effective in the entire
game.
At the half time Peru was drag
ging 10 to 5 but in the second half
they were able to outscore the Plat
ters and made good free tosses in
this half.
The scoring of the Platters was led
by Hiner, center, who acquired seven
counters in the first half but was well
covered by the Prepsters in the sec
ond stanza of the game.
The tabulated score of the game
was as follows:
