'Boys' Town'
is Organized in
Eighth Grade
Training Program in the Conduct of
City Affairs is Started by
Coach H. C
Boggess
Although Plattsmouth has heen
advised quota requirements will not
permit sending anyone from hero to
Boys State this summer to try to
master in eight days all the responsi
bilites of government from governor
down to constable, it is pleasing to
note that an eight weeks' project
along this line and of equally as
great or possibly greater lasting
benefit to the boys, is being carried
out in the eighth grade of our pub
lic schools, under Athletic Coach
II. C. Roggess, the teacher.
Although not as wide in its scope,
this project concerns a mythical
Roys' Town a second Plattsmouth,
if you please, with all the officials
our town has in real life, and like
responsibilities and duties.
This Hoys' Town, now in process
of being organized, will function un
til the close of the school year some
six weeks hence. Thus the boys will

have the benefit of unhurried train
ing giving them opportunity to as
similate the work much better than
if crowded into a week's time at a
summer recreational camp.
Boys Town will have a mayor,
councilmen, park board, library
board, cemetery board, a police judge,
policemen, city clerk, treasurer and
board of health.
The elective officers are to be
chosen at an election to be held tliis
coming week, and they in turn will
organize, approve appointments and
committee assignments and get down
to the real business of administering
civic affairs.
The whole program will be car
ried out in a strictly lawful and or
derly fashion, and is one that if fol
lowed up with these boys as they
move into high school next year,
can take them step by step on tip
through county, state and even na
tional government, with knowledge
eained bv actual doinir instead of
merely reading from text books, and
leave them with a much more com
prehensive viewpoint of the func
tions of government than could be
attained from attending a half dozen
camps of a week's duration.
Citizens will watch with interest
the outcome of this Boys' Town
undoubtedly the first of its kind at
tempted in the state of Nebraska.
The Journal will brins: you news of
the election results, the action of
Boys' Town officials and how they
are coping with the problems of
government, of taxes, and a balanced
budget.
We commend Coach Boggess upon
the program he has started and, if
the expressions of a number to whom
it has been explained typify general
sentiment, believe it will be follow
ed up in the high school years as
well r.s in the eighth grade, where
it originates, and thus not merely
one or two bovs but entire classes
gain a fine knowledge of govern
mental functions by actually per
forming all of the various duties re
quired of our public officials.
JAMES BROWN KILLED

here some two years and engaged in

Child Welfare Activities
April being Child Welfare month,
the report of Mrs. Otto Keck, Child
Always Top Prices!

HOME DAIRY
Conveniently Located 5th and Main
Center of Business Section
Welfare chairman and Junior Aux
iliary sponsor, was especially timely
and interesting. Considerable child
welfare work has been done in our
own community, largely at Christ
mas time, but some as recently as
two weeks ago. Mrs. Keck brought
to the members a plan to hold a tea
in the near future to raise funds
for the state-wide child welfare work
of the organization, which during the
last year enabled five children of
veterans, three of whom are World
War Orphans, to continue their ad
vanced schooling. The state depart
ment is anxious to increase this ser
vice and has asked each unit to pro
mote some extra money-making ac
tivity of this sort, applying the pro
ceeds to building up the state fund,
which heretofore has only been allo
cated a small portion of the proceeds
from poppy sales, and is unable to
meet the advancing demands for
funds.
Mrs. Keck also announced a card
party would be held early in May
to raise money for Junior dues and
the carrying on of the local Child
Welfare work.
The Auxiliary purchased and en
dorsed the sale of Easter Seals to
help crippled children.
Among the bulletins read by the
secretary, Mrs. Edgar Creamer, was
one announcing that Mrs. Mal
colm Douglas, National Auxiliary
President, will address the nation on
Child Health Day, May 1. She will
speak from Los Angeles over the Red
Network of the National Broadcast

with Poppy Sale and Memorial Day
plans commanding greatest atten

cemetery west of this city where the
family plot is located.
Pallbearers were Herman Ilen
nings, John Alexen, William Kelly,
George Volk, Henry Heil and Ernest
Hild.
I cannot say, and I will not say
That he is dead he is just away.
With a cheery smile and a wave of
the hand
As he entered into an unknown land
nd left us dreaming how very fair
It needs must be, since he lingers
there.
And you
O you, who the wildest
yearn
For the old
time step and the glad
return.
Think of him faring on. as dear
In the love of there as the love
of
here.
Think of him still as the same, 1 say,
He Is not dead he Is just away.
