PLATTSKOUTE SEHI - IHLY J0TTR2TAX PAGE THPXE Legion Holds a Most Interesting March Meeting Lake and Game Preserve, Refrigera tion Plant, Highway Safety and "Boys' State" Endorsed Numerous important matters of business occupied the attention of J American Legion members at the, i regular monthly meeting held last nip.ht on the newly enclosed stage) at the community building. j Roof improvements, a ceiling in the kitchen, additional painting and I interior decorating are among thej work planned for the immediate fu ture, as Legionnaires give of their time to do the necessary work. Prospective future installation in the main assembly room includes three motor-driven ceiling type gas heaters. Heating engineers have made n survey of the premises and fubmitted figures and blue printsron the size and cost of these units. which will not he installed before j fall. Membership in t lie post has now i passed the half hundred mark, but is still far below quota and special efforts will be made .to "bring 'em in alive'' by March lT.th. which marks the 19th anniversary of the founding of the Legion at the Paris caucus. Community Service March being Community Service month on the Legion and Legion Auxiliary calendars, time was given by Commander E. O. Ore to a dis cussion of these matters. Among the matters of commun ity interest touched unon was the resolution that the post go on rec ord as favoring the proposed lak" and game preserve rear King Hill, irincipal objective of the newly or ganized Sportsmen's club. Legion members were urged to t also join this new dub. that lias as its main objective the preservation of wild life, and several paid dues for the current year. General approval was also given the proposal to establish a refrigera tion plant in Plattsmouth and mem bers desiring to rent space therein were urged to put up their money now, so the demand can be deter mined and. if sufficient, the plant built this summer.

This has! ... .... e;,- .... t-;- rf.c I leeil win iru uia 111 n r-.-v the states since it was sta d lv t he Indiana department several years ago. and has proven most success ful. Briefly, the idea includes the or ganization of Boys' State, to exist and function in the same manner as other states in our union do. for one week in June. Boys eligible to be sent there by sponsoring organizations in the elif ferent communities over the state must be Juniors in high school this year and between the ages of 1C and IS. There can be no individual spon- sorship of boys, but organizations or j groups of organizations in any town may sponsor one or more boys for attendance. The cost involved is ?12.r.l per boy. plus the responsibil ity of providing transportation to and from Lincoln. Biff Jones, athletic director at the University of Nebraska, will be the Legionnaire in charge of Boys' State. Aiding him will be no less a person age than Governor Cochran, also a Legionnaire, and other prominent state officers. On arrival in Lincoln, boys will be taken to the Agricultural college WE ARE THE Authorized Plymouth (and DeSoto) Dealers in Plattsmouth Make Your Next Car a "PLYMOUTH7 Tim CAM THAT STANDS VP BEST Some Good Buys in Used Cars R.

All in all it will be a train- mg course of unestimable value to't any boy. The only strings attached are that the boys on their re-turn home ap pear be-fore their sponsoring organi zation and render a report on what they have learned about how the affairs of irovemment are conducted.
