EOTARIANS HEAR FINE TALK The members of the Rotary club Tuesday had as their guest speaker Rev. Robert Salmon, acting pastor of the St. John's Catholic church. Rev. Salmon discussed the various "Isms' that are infesting the nations of Eu rope and threatening all of the world from their baneful influence. The need of every citizen to be watchful of their liberties was stressed by the speaker as the aim of these doctrines of recent years was to make the state supreme and to wipe out the indi vidual rights. Communism and fas cism both had as their aim the su premacy of the state and the de struction of the right of action and liberty of religious worship. The only effective way to deal with these evils was to destroy the cause thai had led many peoples in the nation to allow the dictators to take over their rights and reduce ihem to mere pawns in the hands of the rulers. The address was very inspiring and left the members with a serious thought on the world conditions to day.

W. IF Plattsmouth, City Council Has Much Dis cussion at Meet Drainage Ditch, Truck Parking on Main Street and Sale of Tax Property Chief Features. The city council last evening heard a great deal of argument and discus sion on the matter of a drainage ditch on ihe Missouri river bottoms, truck parking on Main street and the status and sale of city owned real estate as the highlights. Residents of Wlntersteen hill pre sented a petition asking that a light now located on highway No. 34, be moved back to Diamond and A street where it had formerly been located. On motion of Councilman Schutz, the matter was referred to the light ing committee with power to act. Mayor Lushinsky as the chairman of the board of health reported that there was no contagious diseases re ported and that the general health of the city was good. There were sev eral places he expected to have clean ed up when weather permitted. New Electrolier Installed The lighting committee reported the new electrolier at Seventh and Pearl streets had been secured for $53. fit, a large saving over that paid in the past. The bill was ordered turned over to the insurance com pany that would care for the bill for the post, it being broken in an auto accident. The matter of the payment of the premium on the policy of the St. Paul & Mercury Indemnity Co., was laid wver until a later time owing to ! the settlement fo whether WPA labor would come under the policy. Sells City Property The tax and property committee brought up the matter of the sale of lots 10. 11, 12. block 10, located at Seventh and Oak streets was then brought up. A contract bid had been received on the lots to purchase them for $.r35 and submitted by Fred H. Sharpnack and Robert Gray. After the necessary forms had been lead the .council voted to accept the offer made (and disposed of this property and on ! which the bidders have agreed to I build two new residences. The streets, alleys and bridges committee reported very little activ ity and the street force off duty most of the time at this season of the year. Councilman Vincent stated that the rock road on Wintersteen hill needed repairing and at his sugges tion it was voted to have three loads of the crushed rock brought in from the storage piles and used. The trucking was to be at $2 per load. Chairman Schutz of the fire and water committee reported that there had been a demonstration of a fire truck made by the International Har vester Co., but nothing done as to purchase as others would be tested out before any definite action taken. Install New Light The lighting committee reported a resolution approving the petition for the placement of an electric light M HATCHIN Per Egg Individual Hens - Nebr Phone 36X4 MOLT at Eighth and Hickory streets. The committee reported that this locality was without light as those in the vicinity failed to reach this location. The recommendation was approved by the four. oil and the work ordered carried out. Discuss Track Pprking Councilman Vroman of the police committee stated that several parties had complained of the large trucks parking on Main sireet and when two of these were parked opposite each other that it was impossible for more than one car at a time to gel through. Councilman Schutz also touched on the danger of truck park ing and which shut off the view of a car driver hacking out from beside a truck and made a danger to traffic. Councilman Rebal inquired as to what could he done about the mat ter us the trucks must park some where and already yere barred on Sixth sireet. Councilman Vincent urged some action as a safety meas ure to prevent acc ident. Mayor Lush insky suggested that the vacant lots owned by ihe city on Pearl sireet be tween Third and Fourth might be used. Councilman Tippens moved that the police notify the long trucks not to park on Main street but se cure parking places on the city va cant lots where they would not be of any danger. Councilman Webb suggested that the city might be going too far in regulation as they had already barred the trucks on Sixth street. Many of the truckers stopped here to trade, get a meal and with such severe regulations would soon cease stopping here. The motion to bar the trucks was defeated six to four. Mayor Lushinsky stated that the judiciary committee should get busy and prepare a general traffic ordi nance that was badly needed as the present one was not up to the pres ent times and conditions. Drainage Ditch Proposed Councilman AVebh reported that in regard to the petition as to a drainage ditch or sewer on the land east of the city, that the residents there would be satisfied if a drag line was secured to open up a straight water drainage ditch that would pro tect the land from the flood waters from the city sewers, lie estimated ',00 would be the cost. Mayor Lushinsky thought the drainage ditch would be the most BUY A HJ1O0E YOU HAVE MORE TO TRADE AND LESS TO PAY Get there early while the choice is wide fine cars now offered at rock-bottom prices Tills National Used Car Exchange "Week gives you a great opportunity to OWN A BETTER CAR for a small invest ment.
