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.

THE FIREMEN'S BALL

department will stage their annual
ball on Monday evening, December
31st at the American Legion hall in

This is an event that should have
the hearty support of all of the resi

taken to provide funds that are at
the disposal of the firemen for many
little needs that come up in the
year and which are incurred in the
line of duty protecting the residents
of the city from loss by fire.

their splendid efforts in the past
have saved the people of Plattsmouth
much in loss of life and property
which otherwise would have laid a
great burden on the people of the
community.
The dance will be a great affair
socially as well as aiding a good
cause.

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-

casion. 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!
