MONDAY, DECEMBER 31, 1934. PAGE SIS PLATTSMOUTH SEMI - WXEKLY JOURNAL May Double C C C to Aid Relief Plan Talk cf a Million Men by New Age limits Is Heard at Capital; Details Withheld. A plan to more than double the size of the civilian conservation corps Friday was under serious con sideration by President Roosevelt as part of a broad winter work relief proKram by the administration. There were simultaneous indica tions, however, that his program is not yet complete. Singly and in groups, the president summoned cab inet officers and advisers to go over the plans. Both he and these officials held in close confidence any sections of the program that had been agreed upon. Think Plan Likely. The civilian conservation corps proposal was described by officials in nonauotable fashion as likely of adoption by the president. The ex tent of the increase in the corps was said to have been not yet fully decided upon, but a figure of one million men was the one mentioned most frequently. The CCC now has upward of 350 thousand enrolled. Several other changes also were described as likely In the corps, such as changing the ages of enrollment to allow a broader range of relief benefits to flow from it. Under the present law, the corps would expire on March 1. May Abolish Crossings. In the field of work relief and public works, one of the types of work said to have been virtually decided upon was grade crossing elimination. The national resources board mentioned this as a desirable phase of public work3 and suggest ed the use of 500 million dollars in this manner. A wide range of other activities also were embodied In the relief plans before the president. Also closely connected to these was his economic security program, embodying unemployment Insurance and at least consideration of pen sions. A step toward an expanded work program the transfer back to the states of the old and unemploy able persons brought a demand to day from Senator Borah. Idaho's re publican independent, for immediate enactment of old age pensions. PLEASANT RIDGE COMMUNITY On Friday evening of last week the Pleasant Ridge Community held its regular monthly meeting.

WESCOTT'S i Since 1879 Trip to National 4-H Club Meet Cass County Young Women Have Great Experience on Trip to Great Chicago Meeting. (By Virginia Trively) Our trip was 30 Interesting that I want to tell you some of the things we did and some of the good times we had. The Nebraska delegation left Om aha at 7:15 p. m. Saturday, Decem ber 1, on the Northwestern "Corn King" for Chicago. It had been about ten years since I had ridden on a train, and I had never ridden on a Pullman. It was great fun climbing into an upper berth and trying to dress there. Sunday morning when we heard the black-faced pcrter call "Six o'clock, girls," we certainly hated to get up, for we had JUEt shut our eyes in peaceful slumber. Perhaps you wonder who I mean by we I mean my team-mate, Frances Meier and myself. We arrived in the "windy" city at 8 o'clock Sunday morning. We went right to the Harrison Hotel and reg istered. Frances and I had tho dar lingest room imaginable. We really hated to part from it Thursday. After eating breakfast at the Harrison, the Protestants went to the Central Church and heard Dr. Shannon speak. At the Central Church, a pleasing feature was the vesper choir of eighty voices. If I don't mention some meals, don't think we didn't eat them. We certainly were well-fed. At 1:00 we went on a fifty-mile tour of the city. On this tour we saw many of the Important and interesting points within the city. I think I enjoyed this tour as much as anything dur ing my stay. Frances and I remained at home In the evening in order that we might study and rest for the next day's contest. On Monday the contest. Of course we did other things, but this was of supreme importance. For was this not the reason we had made our trio there? There were ten teams there for the Home Furnishing con test. The contest was conducted something; differently than it was here in the state. We had only ten minutes to Judge a class and no time to study our reasons. One thing did like about the contest, however, was that we could sit down and give our reasons to the Judge. At noon we were entertained at luncheon at the Stock Yards Inn by courtesy of Sears, Roebuck and Co Imagine how large quantities of food It took to feed 1500 delegates as well as quite a few state leaders, espec ially if they all had appetites like mine. At three o'clock we were pres ent at the dedication of the new Bovs and Girls Club Building. The old one was destroyed by fire. Wil Ron'a Packine comcany went to a great deal of trouble In getting en tertainment for us. They had mov lncr nictures. famous Jugglers, a movie star and some of the most famous sports people. It was a won derful program, and they served us a lovely banquet. I think I appreciated the souvenir I received from Wilson's as much as anything. I had at least one person from nearly every state represented (there were some forty states pres ent) write in my autograph book, and I will always treasure It. About 8:00 we left Wilson's for the Inter national Livestock Exposition. When we arrived, Frances and I were told that we were winners in our con test, and we had to ride around the large arena in a wagon pulled by six beautiful horses. You can imagine how thrilled we were. On Tuesday the girls went to Field's Museum of Natural History. Hero we saw prehistoric exhibits and tho Hall of the Stone Age Man. One thing I delighted in at Field's Mu seum was that each of us was per mitted to go into tho tomb of an Egyptian mummy. After ve went through Field's we went to Adler's Planetarium for a demonstration. I certainly enjoyed this too, for I like anything connected with the firm ament. At 1:00 we were guest3 at lunch eon of the Chicago Mail Order com pany. They had a good orchestra and a pleasing style show for our enjoyment. Our souvenirs were blue mirror and comb sets and were very nice. In the evening the club members annual banquet was held at the largest ball room in the world, and one of the most beautiful the Stev ens. nave never seen a. more ciau- orate room. It was simply gorgeous. The play "Spirit of American Mu bIc" which was presented that night was written especially for this oc- Tells of !'nil!IilIiiiill!liilII!!!Ii!IIIil!!l!!!ai!!i!l!!

There was an Interesting program besides this. Each of us received a Jar of stuffed dates. Wednesday morning we went on an educational tour through the Me Cormick works, tractor works, and show rooms. We were guests of the International Harvester company at luncheon. In the afternoon we went to the Matinee Horse Show. There I saw my first polo game, and I must say that I found It very fascinating. That afternoon we saw the Style Show which was in charge of Ne braska this year. The scenery for this event was beautiful. In the evening we went to the Museum of Science and Industry and saw their feature exhibit: Five Thou sand Years of Farm Tools. Most of these demonstrations were too chem ical for mo to understand, but I de lighted in matching the man in the diving suit actually show how steel was cut under water. I also was very thrilled at the chance to go down into the coal mine. Perhaps this was the most educational trip we took. Thursday we went to Montgomery Ward and Company for a tour of their plant. They took us through their different departments, and I became very Interested in their test department where they test every article before sending it away. I also was interested In their shipping de partment. Here they had packages and boxes all ready to be mailed to Egypt ( Africa, and all parts of the world. At noon we were guests of Mont gomery Ward & Co. at the Edgewater Deach Hotel in the Marine dining room. I can trutnrully say that 1 was more Impressed by the beauty and splendor of this place than any place we had been. The lovely chandeliers, the soft carpets they were all very nice, but what I en Joyed most was what we could see from the window by which we sat. It was a windy day and the break ers rolled up to the beach; there was a ship out on the lake; and we could see the navy pier. I realize that pretty as a picture" is an over worked group of words, but it seems to be the only fair description. In the evening we had our last good time together a Dutch treat in tne Auuitonum Hotel. Here we were awarded our prizes. The Nebraska delegation left for home at 9:00 Thursday night and we arrived at Omaha about 9:50 the next morning. It was a glorious trip! Here's hoping that next year's Nebraska delegation has the splendid time we did. Here's to many more such trips! SPEND HOLIDAYS HERE Mr. and Mrs. John Inman, of Louisville, are in the city to spend the holiday season here with Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Creamer and family, Mrs. Creamer being a daughter. . John C.
