Constitution Tree Planted at School Plattsmouth Garden Club Presents linden Tree in Honor of lAnni versary of Constitution. From Wednesday's Daily Yesterday afternoon the pupils of the Plattsmouth high school gath ered in front of the high school build ing for the dedication of the "Con stitution Tree." This tree, a linden tree, was presented the high school by the Plattsmouth Garden club in honor of the 150th anniversary of the constitution of the United Slates. It will make a beautiful tree for the school lawn. Mrs. I-. P. Devoe, chairman of the committee from the Garden club, presided. The group, led by the giiTs glee club, under the direction of Lee Meyers, opened the program by sing ing "Ameri.a." The pledge of al legiance to the flag was then given, ltd by two Roy Scouts. James Mauzy and Lars Larson. Mrs. K. II. Weseott. president of the Garden club, was then presented and gave a very interesting talk on the resemblance of a tree to the con stitution. Her talk follows: "When the Sesquitrnnial Commis sion planned the observance of the 150th anniversary of your Constitu tion, it was a natural procedure that they should promote the planting of trees. A tree and your Constitution have several similarities. There are three definite parts to each. In your Constitution you have the judicial, the executive, the legislative depart ments, all interdependent. In a tree we have the roots, the stem, the crown, all interdependent. In this Linden tree which the Plattsmouth Garden club plants today in honor of the birth of your Constitution, we find that the root system below the prouiul is what holds the tree steady. These roots have the main lines of work. They absorb water and food from the soil and transmit it to the SEE THE NEW KEROSENE ELECTROLUK REFRIGERATOR . . at the ROSEN-NOVAK AUTO CO.

"The duties of the judiciary are defined in your constitution without freedom to function, your consti tution would not survive. The stem of the tree supports the crown and transports food and water to the crown. It is dependent thereon for its beauty and usefulness, without the roots it could not exist. Without the stem the crown could not func tion and neither roots or stem could long abide without the crown. "In your constitution Ave liken the stem to the executive branch of your government. The crown of the tree has been called the laboratory of the tree. Food is manufactured, sunlight plays upon the granules of the leaves and a chemical action takes place. Rain descends and is absorbed and a continuous stream of nutrition makes its way downward to the stem and roots. I need not tell you that the crown with its leaves, branches and twigs is likened to the legislative branch of your government as pro vided in the constitution. The crown of the tree provides comfort, shelter, beauty, bloom and often it furnishes food. "So as we plant and dedicate this tree (man's truest friend) we admon ish all to cherish it. May it grow to be a thing of beauty and comfort to all who seek its shelter. Even as your constitution has sheltered you. "Mayor Lushinsky, Mr. Capwell. president of the school board. Robert Woest, president student council, Mr. Devoe. superintendent of schools and citizens, the Plattsmouth Garden club has the honor to present this tree to the public schools and to the citizens of Plattsmouth in honor of the 150th anniversary of our con stitution. It is a beautiful Linden tree, so fair to the sight, this truth I discern, it is inwardly white." Mayor George Lushinsky spoke on behalf of the city, thanking the Gar den club lor the. planting of the tree. He wa:; lollowed by J. A. Capwell. who ac.i pted the tree for the board of education of which he is president. Robert Woest. president of the stu-d'-nt council, then spoke on behalf of the touncil, thanking the Garden club for helping to beautify their rchool. The girl's glee club, directed by Mr. TRyers sang "Trees," a beauti ful tribute to ;ill trees, and to the I'uden tree planted on the school I.V' n yesterday. Three girls from the lower grades. Joan Canterbury, Wanda Lou Cacy and Ruth Parmer, give readings ap propriate to the occasion. Then Superintendent L. S. Devoe spoke for the student body in appreciation to the Garden club. Rev. G. A. Pahl pronounced the benediction. Frank Karvarnck, of the Garden club, planted the tree and made the marker which is now placed there. The committee in charge from the Garden club was Mrs. L. S. Devoe. chairman; Mi:js Anna Htiscl and Mrs. P. T. Ileintman.

Drastic Penalties for Nocturnal Trespassers Other Known Offenders Due for Fall Plattsmouth is going to become one of the most unhealthy places in the country tor peepers. Already one has been disposed of in court. Other known noctur nal prowlers are due for a similar fall. For some time a vigilance com mittee of the American Legion has been working in close harmony with the police department in its effort to capture red-handed the various "Peeping Toms" who have caused much apprehension on the part of feminine residents of the city. As a result, there are sev eral other known suspects, who on different occasions have barely escaped capture red-handed. With the bringing into court of one, vigilance instead of being relaxed is to be redoubled and the man-hunt pursued nightly until the practice is completely stamp ed out. The net will be spread so ef fectively that escape will be im possible and every captured sus pect will be prosecuted to the full limit of the law, the Journal is advised. Not only this, but in many of the homes, the old trusty shot gun has been brought forth., load ed and laid in a handy place to be brought into action promptly. We repeat, war on peepers has been declared and it will he plen ty unhealthy for anyone caught in the act. Trespassing upon the yards of home owners is danger ous practice at any time doubly so at night. Even loiterers along the streets in sections where they do not reside and have no appar ent business will be required to explain the whyfor of their ac tions. Housewives and citizens will be pleased and derive a sense of added security from attack or peeping eyes with the knowledge that the campaign against peep ers is just beginning. WPA WORKER MUST TESTIFY OMAHA, April 12 (UP) Pre siding District Judge Fitzgerald to day gave notice that any WPA work er or official who refuses to testify before the grand jury in session here would be in contempt of court. The fact that WPA is a federal government bureau does not excuse workers from their duty of giving :estimony in state courts, he said. "WPA workers are just like the ordinary garden variety of citizens," Jiuige Fitzgerald said. "They are anemable to laws just, as the rct of r.s are. If the grand jury cites a WPA man for failure to testify, I'll take great pleasure in certifying him to jail." MAP MADE OF WOOD FROM MANY COUNTRIES CHILLICOTUI' from ea h stale from 2S foreign . Mo.

"We have the possibility of the right point of view, of making the most of our opportunities, of smiling, serv ing, improving, of doing our best," Mr. Hauptman said. Finishing the spelling he added that we have the possibility of working as included in industry, of loving, of co-operating because of our interdependence, the possibility of right ideals char acter, the possibility of securing an education and of succeeding.
