IifOKDAY,, SEPT. 5, 1928. THE . PLATTSMOUTH E VETTING JODTLNAX PAGE THREE Medals Go to Champion Junior Baseball Group World-Herald Awards Presented at Last Night's Legion Meeting with Boys as Guests. American Legion Junior Baseball team members were guests at last night's Legion meeting held at the community building, when they were presented with individual medals the World-Herald award that goes to the players of district championship teams. The presentation was a dem onstration of the worthiness of the three-phase youth activities engaged in by the local Legion post base ball, drum corps and Boy Scouts. Chairman Fred Herbster of the Junior Baseball committee spoke briefly and then turned the presen tation ceremony over to L. S. Devoe, who as a Legionnaire and director of WPA recreational activities here during the past summer has had in timate contact with the Junior base-i ball team. Devoe paid tribute to the aid rendered by Legionnaires in fur nishing transportation and assisting in other ways to make the season a success, also to Robert Hayes and Eugene Ault, former Legion team members, who have now graduated to places with the town team, but "are still willing to come back and render valuable assistance," also to Clyde Jackson. Recreational Service employee, who has been on the coach ing line at every one of the score or more games played. Mr. Devoe introduced Harley ("Gabby") Street, a new "find" in big league circles, who for two years was a member of the Plattsmouth Junior Legion team, prior to moving up to the star pitching position on the town team. Harley said he be lieved the Junior program was most beneficial to boys who desired to get into professional baseball. He told of hi3 experience in Omaha, pitching before the Cardinal Scouts in two innings of a contest game, striking out five of the seven men who faced him. One (the first) was walked by the umpire to get the young pitch er's "goat," and the last of the seven grounded. out to third base. Harley was promptly signed up for next year's playing season with a Car dinal "farm-out" team, as announc ed in yesterday's Journal. Hayes and Ault, both former Jun ior team members are among the fifty who have survived the elimi nation try-outs at Omaha. Hayes was present and said many of those try ing out at Omaha wore suits that bore Legion emblems, indicating they too had received their first training in baseball in Legion-sponsored teams. Medals go to Shiffer, Noble, Smith, Jones. Sedlak, Phillips, , York, Par riott, Jacobs, White, Albee, Martin, Gradoville, Xord and Persinger a total of fifteen. Endorse PWA Projects George Conis, Legion representa tive on the City Planning Board ad vised of action taken by the board favoring four PWA projects repay ing, widening and draining highway 75, completion of the community building, modernization of Central building and reconstruction of the old high school building to provide for Junior high classes. Endorsement! of the projects was voted unanimous iy. Arrangements were also made to take the Junior drum corps to the state fair Sunday, and possibly to a celebration at Gretna next Thursday evening. September 8. THE TEST OF ANY PROJECT Editor Marvin of the Beatrice Sun asks the question: "Should one's dis approval of federal spending policies deter a community from seeking to equip itself with useful public im provements?" In other words, be cause you don't believe it's right, should you refuse to accept any of the benefits? After a discussion of the question, in which he points out that for years and years federal funds have been spent on harbors and rivers. Editor Marvin declares the present spending program is merely spread out over the entire nation where more communities may share in its advantages. And then, he very tersely states the test that should govern, namely, "whether the proposed improvement id useful, fills a want and meets a need," to which the Nebraska City News-Press adds: "Will the improve ment be too costly, from the stand point of the local contribution, for the community to bear?" And that comprises the sensible yardstick by which all projects big or little should be gauged. Many a small town would like to have the things of which cities boast. but the public purse will not permit. PWA would bridge the gap by giv ing outright 45 per cent. Enticing as -iat may seem, let us always lay fdown the yardstick of evaluations that Editors Marvin and Sweet have colaborated to give us: "Is it useful; does it fill a want and meet a need will the cost be too great?" Of course there can be plenty of honest controversy on these ques tions, but by keeping them and them alone in sight, no community can go far wrong in its acceptance of this "free" government money. Cass county Tias no Bonded In debtedness, as, like the state, we have paid cash for our hard sur faced roads and other Improve ments as we went. eg W w M & TOCTD-ff&&I3BB fk JsJ rimX, ; :K : . !
