Nebraska City
Orchestra Heard
in Fine Concert

cf George Strobel Present
Program Sunday.
From Monday's Daily
One cf the most enjoyable musi
cal events to come to Plattsmouth in
years was the splendid symphony or
chestra that was heard last night at
the Presbyterian church.
Despite the cold weather the at
tendance was quite large and proved
to b? a very appreciative audience.
Nebraska City can well pride her
self cn this splendid civic organiz
ation composed of professional as
well as non-professional many very
young high school students among
them, who under the skilled direc
tion of Mr. Stroble gave an almost
perfect performance.
The selection from "The Firefly"
by Friml, with its delightful melody
and rhythm was very well received,
the violin solo, "Zigeumerweisen" by
Saraste,by Mr. Stroble was bsauti
fully rendered, a number that gave
the artist an opportunity to bring
out exquisite tonal shadings of rare
beauty. Then the contralto solo,
Trees." by Rosbach with orchestral
acccmpaniment by Evelyn Storms
Beard was a lovely contribution and
in their hearts all were wishing.
that an encore might he permissible,
so that we might hear this lovely
voice again.
Then the final number from the
xjitt: ..ijii, ah nfcittvi vi, u . - i, " v i
this delightful musical program to
a close.
Mr. Rice as managing director,
graciously gave a Tew remarks, say
ing they were glad to have been here
with us, and yet there was a fesling
cf sadness, for Mr. Stroble is leav-
mg tor tne west coast tocay 10 resiue jjc
at Seattle. Wash., and they will either J Sc,prano solo Mary Annie Rosen
have to disband or find someone who i cr::ns
will be abl? to take his place, and so j Boys' Octette Wallace Terryberry,
these excellent musicians, it i3 to j CarI Hu!a 01iver Taylor, Edwin Ka-
hoped. win tint! a wortny saccessoi j
to carry on tbe able leadership so!
well done by thc-ir beloved Mr.
Stroble.
The Plattsmouth Woman's club
wishes to thank everyone that assist
ed in the arrangement of this pro
gram the Presbyterian church and to
the ushers.

aiday on President Roosevelt's birth-
clay. Mrs. Donat and the president
are also the same age.
Mrs. Hendricks served a very de
licious luncheon and the afternoon
was spent very pleasantly.
Those present were Mr. and Mrs.

also ncaring complcticn.. There re
mains to be done some painting of the
wainscoatir.fr and window trim, the
fitting cf finish hardware, laying of
the oak floor in the main assembly
hall and the exterior finish.
No definite plan has been adopted I
for this latter item, several being un
der consideration, including the use
of shingles, regular lap siding or a
eclcred slate roofing material, with
painted battens covering the joints.
The material requirements (in ad
dition to all donated salvaged mater
ial), including truck hire for hauling
of salvaged materials, have run in
the neighborhood cf S29S, with out
side finish, a few minor items and the
cost of an insurance policy on the
building yet to be reckoned with.
Available money for materials so
far contributed, totals S22H.30. divid
ed as follows: Government allotment,
$94.00; Rotary club contribution,
SS3.70 : T. II. Pollock contribution,
$150.00.
This leaves a balance of approxi
mately ?"1 with which to provide the
exterior f.nish. minor incidentals and
insurancs ccat. The estimated outlay
for these items, if lap siding or shin-
gles are used on the outside, varies

roofing is used, the total cost of these
remain rrr items could be reduced to

Thus it will he seen that to com
plete the job in A-l shape and provide
a cabin as nicely finished both inter
ior and exterior as any average home,
there will yet he required $49 addi
tional material money if siding cr
chin gles are used, or about $15 if the
roll roofing is used.
The comnrltee will meet tomorrow
night at 7:20 at the office of the

to consider this last phase of the
problem, with assurance cf being ad
journed in ample time so that all
may attend the Roosevelt birthday
