Only a Few
Students to be
Given NYA Aid
Quota for the University of Nebraska
Is Limited to 600 as 1,200
Seek Financial Aid.
At least half of the 1,200 students
and prospective students who have
applied to university authorities for
federal student aid under the provi
sions of the national youth adminis
tration measure, cannot be given fi
nancial assistance, Dean Thompson
said Friday night.
"We have many, more applicants
than we can possibly take care of
now as our quota is about the same
as last year when 600 students were
given help," Dean Thompson de
clared. "It Is unfortunate that more can
not be assisted Inasmuch as most of
the students applying possess excel
lent scholarship records," he said. He
indicated there was a chance that a
few more than 600 may win places
in the NYA program. The maximum
monthly aid will be $20.
The dean of student affairs empha
sized that the NYA setup Is designed
to supply additional student employ
ment and will not force out student
examination readers or others regu
larly employed at the university.
Students are already being select
ed by Dean Thompson, assisted by a
faculty committee, and all will be
chosen by the time the university
opens Sept. 15. More than 2,200 stu
dents have asked for applications.
The committee members include Pro
fessors T. Bruce Robb. S. M.Corey,
L. K. Crowe, Dean Happner and Ed
gar Boschult operating superintend
ent. ABLE TO BE UP A BIT NOW
Legionnaires who called on Robert
Reed at the Veterans' hospital in
Lincoln Tuesday while en route to the
convention at Beatrice, found him in
greatly improved condition and able
to be up and about in a wheel chair
part of each day. He had been on his
feet for the first time the day before,
but found his strength taxed as a re
sult of his four weeks in bed. He is
advised that it will be three weeks
yet before he will be able to return
home. Dr. Moore, clinical director at
the hospital, stated that had he been
a few hours later in arriving at the
hospital it would have been impos
sible to save his life. As It was, the
operation was performed within a
half hour after his arrival and doc
tors remained steadily at his bedside
day and night the first 72 hours.
Plattsmouth offers a splendid
market for farm produce of all
kinds.
Enthusiasm at
Meeting to Plan
Carnival Details
Large Attendance at Luncheon Held
Last Night New Features
are Being Arranged.
From Friday's Dally
If attendance and interest shown
at last night's "pep" luncheon may
be accepted as a. criterion the fourth
annual King Korn Karnival to be
held in Plattsmouth September IS to
21, inclusive, will be by lar the most
successful of any to date.
Forty intensely interested men of
the community, nearly a third of
them from the rural areas enjoyed
dining together and afterwards par
ticipating in a planning discussion
out of which were evolved many new
and original ideas that will be put to
good use in arranging this year's
show.
Designation given each of the four
days is as follows: Wednesday, open
ing and coronation day; Thursday,
farmers' day; Friday, old settlers
day, and Saturday, rural school day.
There are expected to be present five
bands, four of them from outlying
Cass county towns, and a 50-piece ac
cordion band from Omaha.
Farmers' day will be exclusively
agricultural In nature, the entire ar
rangements and execution being in
the hands of the Farmers' day com
mittee headed by Chas. Barnard, even
to the attire of R. Foster Patterson,
program director of former years, who
will come here from his home at
Tarkio to officiate before the micro
phone. On this day he will dress as
a typical farm hand instead of his
usual attire of a college professor. I
Friday is set as Old Settlers' day,
with the platform program given over
to them at 3 p. m. following the Mer
chants' parade, and continuing right
up to supper time, instead of being
held at a separate place during the
hours of other entertainment as has
been done in the past. Experience
has proven the other entertainment
attracts many of the old settlers from
their own meeting, greatly cutting
down the attendance, so this year
they will be given two to three hours
time on the platform, with the fur
ther privilege of a forenoon program
should the committee desire it. Paul
Vandervort was 'added to the com
mittee of which Judge C. L. Graves is
chairman.
One of the features Friday will be
the public wedding in the evening.
Identity of the nuptial couple will be
kept secret until the time of playing
the wedding march and the couple is
taxied to the platform, there to re
ceive their license and be joined in
wedlock.
The children's parade on Wednes
day afternoon will be bigger and bet
ter than ever, with nearly every school
child in the city in the line of march.
That evening the king and queen will
be crowned, the queen being chosen
by vote of the public on ballots print
ed in each issue of the Journal, and
the king selected by the program
committee. (Identity of both these
participants will also be kept secret
right up to the time of the corona
tion ceremonies. In connection with
the naming of the king, a contest is
to be held in which everyone may reg
ister their guess as to his identity,
writing the same in a book kept
for that purpose. A suitable prize
will be awarded to the person who
first guesses the identity of the king,
this award to be withheld until after
the coronation.
The soap box derby, set for late
Friday afternoon will be another of
the popular features this year. Al
ready a large number of boys have
made or are busy making their rac
ing entries for this event.
Special Btress will be laid on corn
exhibits, although other classifica
tions will not be barred and will be
re Girded with smaller prizes. The
corn prizes, nowever, win oe or an
amount in keeping with the fact that
this is primarily a corn show, and
will be paid in cash, while most other
exhibit prizes will be in trade or do
nated merchandise.
The pre-carnival plans include but
one parade, to be nela on Saturday
night, September 14. This will be
fashioned along the pageantry line,
with different organizations sponsor
ing successive theme depictions con
nected with the history of Platts
mouth, which was chartered as a city
seventy-five years ago. Occupying a
prominent part in this parade will be
employes of the BREX shops, who
last year demonstrated unusual abil
ity in pageantry presentation. Other
civic organizations will be asked to
sponsor episodes in the life of the
town, while the shopmen will natur
ally build their theme around the
coming of the Burlington and the
part its shops have played in the de-
j.T1.UMTIlMT1JT.

velopment of the community.
There will be two pre-carnival pro
grams put on from the platform at
Fifth and Main, however, to further
stimulate interest in the big show.
Parades during the carnival will be
limited to four in number, the child
ren's parade on Wednesday, farmers
parade Thursday; merchants parade
Friday and rural school parade Sat
urday. All of these will be afternoon
parades.
A public dance each night, city
championship kittenball games, ferris
wheel and merry-go-round, conces
sions and the Hazel McOwen Players
will be among the attractions during
the four day carnival.
Watch for the official program to be
issued this coming week, also further
announcements of interest in the col
umns of the Journal from day to day,
and advise your distant friends and
all old residents 'here that Platta
mouth is going to put on its great
est carnival and corn show this year
and they will be missing a lot if they
fail to attend.

URGES SPEED IN MAKING
OF WPA APPLICATIONS
The recent deadline of Sept. 3 on
PWA applications has also brought a
hurry-up call from those administer
ing the WPA program, which is quite
unlike PWA.
In a letter received today from R.
L. Metcalfe, state director of the Na
tional Emergency Council, he says:
"The kind of projects to promote are
projects that the communities will un
doubtedly have to construct them
selves some time during the next
ten years. For example, farm to mar
ket roads, resurfacing and repairing
pavement, sewer extensions, parking
improvements, recreational centers,
etc. By sponsoring these projects at
this time, the sponsors will benefit,
because usually there will be S3. 00
Federal funds spent for every dollar
put up by the sponsors.
"I am writing to ask if you will
not take this matter up with other
people in your town and county and
Bee if you cannot plan some projects
for which you would like to make ap
plication under the WPA.
"I desire to impress upon both you
and your neighbors that it Is neces
sary IMMEDIATE ACTION be taken
to have projects planned and applica
tions made in order that Works Pro
gress Administration may be In posi
tion to have work carried on par
ticularly in the communities that
have a relief load at this time."
HOME DAIRY FUBNISHED TRUCK
In the list of acknowledgements for
cars furnished to transport the Jun
ior Drum corps to Omaha, Boys Town

Dairy furnishing its Ford V-8 truck
for the trip to Beatrice Tuesday. All
the drums and a number of the older
boys in the corps were conveyed to
the convention in this truck, which
was driven by James Farnham and
the same wholehearted thanks are ex
tended to Mr. Hofman as were ex
pressed to other contributing car
owners in yesterday's Journal.

the next fellow, and of course John
wants some water there when he de
sires to take his bath.
It Is a fine thing to do and has
provided pleasure and comfort for a
large number of his friends, at a
Bmall expense, as the cost of pumping
the water is not great.
