Mr. Pitzer in offering the resolu tions for the consideration of the bar association and court, gave a very j fine tribute to Judge Kieck in his re- i view of their common service in the Nebraska constitutional convention of 1920. praising the independence and the thoughtfulness shown by Judge Kieck.

We know, however, that part of our report that a brief record Mn a manner not always known and be made of the life and work cf j Judge Kieck and of the estimates of his character unanimously accepted by members of the Bar of the District and by all those who enjoyed his per sonal acquaintance and friendship and who knew of his work. We there fore adopt and submit as a part of this report the sketch of his life and work and characterization so well compiled and stated by Mr. Robert son following Judge Kieck's death, the same being as follows: WILLIAM G. KIECK William G. Kieck was born In Omaha. Nebraska, May IS, 1892. When two years of age he was taken by his parents to Springfield. Ne braska, where he grew to manhood, graduating from the high school there at the age of eighteen. In 1914. he graduated from the University of Nebraska with an A.B. degree, then taught for two years in the high school at Springfield. Following this, he was teaching in the high school at Imperial, Nebraska, when Amer ica entered the World war. Being one of the first to enlist, and receiv ing military instruction at the first Fort Snelling training camp, he was commissioned a lieutenant of in fantry in the summer of 1917. As an officer in the military service of the United States he arrived in France with one of the first contingents, and there transferred to the aviation Hc.rvice, serving with that branch till the fnd of the war. In 1919, his company returned home. A desire to study caused his enrollment in the law school of Creighton university from which an LLB degree was received in June 1921. While still a law student he was elected the representative of Sarpy county in the Nebraska Con stitutional Convention of 1920, and had the distinction of being the youngest and one of the ablest mem bers of that body. April 1922, Judge Kieck trans-" ferred his law offices from Omaha to Plattsmouth and since that time has been a resident of Plattsmouth and a member of the Cass County Bar As sociation. June 25, 1924. he was united in marriage with Miss Lora Lloyd of Nehawka, a teacher in the Plattsmouth public school system. To this union were born two children, Marilyn Jean, now six, and William Robert, now four. In the November election of 1924, the voters of Cass county elected Mr. Kieck county attorney, to which posi tion he was repeatedly re-elected, and filled that office from January 1925, to January 1937. Having been elected judge of the Second Judicial District of Nebraska, he took office in January 1937. In the short period which he served, he demonstrated hi remarkable talents by ejnery, effi ciency, thoroughness and fairness to all, giving promise of a brilliant career. Of a genial and friendly nature he made warm and lasting friend ships as evidenced in his associa tions with his fellow men. These qualities were recognized first in col lege days in his membership in Acacia and Delta Theta Phi fraternities; field Lodge No. 112 A. P. & A. M., in which he served as master; Nebraska Chapter No. 3 Royal Arch Masons, in which he served as excellent high priest; Mt. Zion commandery No. Knights Templar; Plattsmouth lodge No. 739 Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, of which he was exalt ed ruler; and Hugh J. Kearns post of the American Legion, which he served as commander. For many years he has served as president of the Plattsmouth Chapter of the American Red Cross and chairman of the Asso ciated Charities. He was also a mem ber of the Plattsmouth Chamber of Commerce. For many years William G. Kieck has been a member of the Methodist Episcopal church, in which he filled many offices, being a member and chairman of the governing board at the time of his death. His Christian principles were evidenced as a duti ful son. a faithful husband, a loving father and a sincere friend. Judge Kieck departed this life ! March 30, 1937, leaving surviving, his widow and children; his parents, jjr and Mrs. William M. Kieck of Springfield; two brothers, Albert of Springfield, and Dr. Ernest of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and a host of personal friends. "His life was so gentle, and the elements So mix'd in him that nature might stand up And say to all the world, 'This was a man! ' This brief review well describes a life of unusual and varied activity. It may well be considered that a life not measured alone by length in understood and perhaps in eompari- son with the larger affairs of man kind not always discernable, the in fluence of such a life does not end as a stone dropped into the sea but con tinues and moves on and outward more as waves that arise and travel outward to the end of space and time. We therefore submit the foregoing and the following resolution for adoption by the Bar of the Second Judicial District of Nebraska: "Resolved, that we adopt the fore going report of the Committee on Resolutions and the estimates of the character of Judge William G. Kieck and of our profound sorrow at his death a,nd the termination of our in timate association with him as a member of this Bar and of his service as Judge of this District. "Resolved further, that a copy of this report and of the remarks and proceedings be made and prepared in triplicate in order that they be re corded in the Judicial Records of each County in the District. "Resolved further, that a copy of the foregoing resolution be trans mitted to the widow, Mrs. Lora Kieck." Respectfully submitted. Signed W. R. PATRICK. WM. H. PITZER. W. A. ROBERTSON, EDWIN MORAN, A. H. DUXBURY. Members of Resolutions Committee Second Judicial Dist. Mr. Dwyer stated that the com mittee on arrangements, of which Thomas E. Dunbar, of Nebraska City, was chairman, had arranged that one representative of the bar from each of the three counties would speak for their association, these being Ralph J. Nickerson, Sarpy county. Varro E. Tyler, Otoe county and William A. Robertson, Cass county. Mr. Nickerson in his remarks point ed out the importance of the posi tion of district judge as the protector of the lives and property rights of the people of the district and the great fitness that Judge Kieck had brought to the bench. Mr. Nicker son, a friend since youthful days of Judge Kieck, paid high tributes, to his personal qualities as well as judi cial temperament. The speaker told of the warmth of his friendshipsand the deep attachment that had been his from large groups of friends, and his keen interest in his home and family where he found-deep affection, as well as to his interest in the relig ious and civic life of the community Mr. Tyler gave a most interesting story of his association with the de parted judge, how as a school teach er he had heard from a former teach er of Judge Kieck of his fine char acter, this giving him a mental pic ture of the man. Later he had known Judge Kieck at the university and there had found the analyzation of the teacher had been correct and he had found Judge Kieck a man of out standing personality and character. his clearness of vision had enabled him to make of his life a success. The life of Judge Kieck, Mr. Tyler Tyler pointed out, showed the inbred characteristics that carried him for ward, that attached to him hundreds of friends whose attachment had been the strongest. William A. Robertson, who re sponded for the local bar, had been a long associate with Judge Kieck from the days that he had left school and entered on the practice of his pro fession. The worth of a man was pointed out by the speaker as his worth to the community and nation by the service that he had given, which in Judge Kieck had been a lifetime of faithful service as a stu dent, soldier, member of the bar and public officer and a kind and loving husband, father, son and brother. His loyalty to ideals he had held high, his loyalty to the home he loved and his loved ones and to his friends had been an outstanding feature of his life. In his genial personality he had cemented old friends to him and made many new ones. He had been deeply religious but not bigoted, he had truly believed in the fatherhood of God and the love of his fellowman. The speaker pointed out the sincerity of the departed jurist and the fact that he never pretended to the other than as he was and had lived his life time. - In closing of the memorial, Judge W. W. Wilson added his part to the fine expressions of the life of Judge Kieck and the common feeling of loss that had come to the bench when he was called away in the beginning of what seemed a briallian career as a member of the judiciary. Members of the lamily here were Mrs. W. G. Kieck, of this city, Mr. and Mrs. Albert Kieck, of Springfield and Mrs. Ernest Kieck of Cedar Rapids. Iowa.

ATTENDS COMMITTEE MEETING From Thursday'8 Daily Attorney W. L. Dwyer was in Lin coln yesterday attending a meeting of the committee on law lists of the State Bar association. , The commit tee heard arguments on behalf of the various law lists who have subscrib ers among the Nebraska lawyers. It is the aim of the committee to prohibit the use of such lists as are found to be contributing to illegal and unethical practice of law.

Ofe Brings Word Picture of Hawaii. Constitution sesquicentennial ob servance and a very interesting re port of her recent Hawaiian trip by Mrs. E. G. Oie, (made more realistic by Hawaiian music) comprised the highlights of the regular monthly meeting of the American Legion Auxiliary held Friday afternoon at the home of Mrs. P. Y. McFetridge Associate hostesses were Mrs. Frank Rebal, Mrs. Robert Cappell and Mrs Eugene Vroman. Twenty were pres ent, including four guests, Mrs. G. A. Pahl, Mrs. S. M. Kerr, Mrs. J. C Woest and Miss Nell Boucher. The new Nell Krause gavel bell awarded the Plattsmouth unit was used for the first time at the meet ing. A gavel of inlaid woods in con trasting color arrangement, made many years ago and handed down thru several generations of the Ofe family was presented to the Auxiliary by Commander E. G. Ofe of the Le gion and instituted at this meeting At the business session it was de cided to accept the invitation to pro vide an Auxiliary sponsored com petive table setting at the Flower Show and Arts building during the Korn Karnival next week; to,, pro vide the Hallowe'en night treat for the Boy Scout troop at Camp Wheel er in return for assistance given by the Scouts in selling Memorial day poppies, and to contribute one-half of the cost of a large bronze stand con taining facsimile reproduction of our Constitution behind swinging glass- encased leaves, which it is hoped to have presented to the public schools on Armistice day by the Legion and Legion Auxiliary. The committee named to arrange the table setting is composed of Mrs. R. W. Knorr, Mrs. Don Seiver and Mrs. Otto Keck. The Community Service committee reported completion of the survey of blind persons in the community re quested by State Assistance Director Neil C. Vandemoar. The convention reports occupied some time as the delegates gave their Impression of the Scottsbluff meet ing last month. The meeting occurring on the 150th anniversary of the signing of our national Constitution, and at al most the exact hour that historical document came Into being, a patriotic half hour was devoted to commemor ation of th? event. Mrs. Adelaide Boynton. unit chaplain, read Presi dent Roosevelt's proclamation setting the dates for sesquicentennial ob servance, September 17, 1937 to April 30, 1939, the 150th anniversary of the date on which George Washing ton was inaugurated as the first presi dent of the United States. County Judge A. H. Duxbury, a well versed student on "Our Consti tution and Its Historical Back ground" delivered a splendid twenty minute address upon that subject, tracing the early activities of the Convention, the opposition encoun tered, etc., and laying stress on the importance of the document which, ratified under conditions vastly dif ferent from those of the present time, continues to be the basic law of our land, proving its ability to adapt it self to our changing times. Although treated lightly by the delegates, it was formulated by studiously minded patriots of that early day in the nation's history, he said. The Social Hour ! Following adjournment of the business session, the program com mittee took charge, presenting Mrs. E. G. Ofe, Auxiliary member, who took the group on an impressive word tour of Hawaii, which she visited some months ago. All enjoyed her talk, at the conclusion of which Helen and Theresa Slatinsky present ed appropriate Hawaiian music, sing ing and playing. Refreshments were served at the close of the social hour. October meeting, dedicated to unit activities and honoring past presi dents, on the 15th, will be held at the home of Mrs. L. S. Devoe. with Mrs. Roy Knorr, Mrs. Dave Pickrel and Mrs. Homer Sylvester- associate hostesses.

Plattsmouth, Weeping Water in a Six A!i Tie Cass County Schools Stage First Foot ball Game of Season Before County Fair Crowd. The Plattsmouth high school foot ball team had their first game Fri day afternoon at Weeping Water with a six alike tie with the boys from the sobbing water. The game, a feature of the county fair program drew a large crowd and many of the fans from here were on the scene to watch the workout of the locals. The opening quarter of the game was scoreless, altho the Weeping Water team showed a part of their driving power of the heavier team and hard fighting backs as ball lug gers. The Plattsmouth line, largely new showed well and showed promise of strong development as the season progresses. In the earlier part of the second quarter the Platters registered their score which came when W.ooster, vet eran back, flipped a fine pass to Joe York and the boy from the Rio Grande was away down the side lines and over for the coveted tally. York was tackled as he reached the goal but was over and the Platters out in front. In the dying moments of the first half the Weeping Water team start ed going places and drove down the field with Embery and Reed, hard fighting backs, doing the ball carry ing and were able to smash over the line. Neither team was able to make good their try for placement. The second half of the contest was hard fought by both teams and their defensive work able to check any fur ther scoring. The Platters suffered a great deal from fumbling that checked their of fensive. The locals will have their second game here at home on Friday after noon when they entertain the Glen wood team. SPEAKS ON FARM PROBLEMS i From Friday's Dally S. S. Davis was in Omaha last night as a representative of the Chamber of Commerce and had dinner at the Fon- tenelle hotel with the KOIL general manager, John M. Henry, together with other representatives from Wa hoo, Blair, Hooper, and Columbus. Later the five representatives were taken as guests of KOIL to the elec tric exposition at the auditorium, and at 9:30 they were included in a coast to coast broadcast over the Mutual system. The publicity given to good farming .conditions in this vicinity and the publicity relative to the building of the Missouri river dock should be of considerable value to Plattsmouth and Cass county.
