DOLLARS NEEDED TO MEET BSA AREA DUES The canvas for funds to meet area dues and other expense con nected with carrying on the Boy Scouts program in Plattsmouth is not meeting with the response anticipated, for some reason. Perhaps it is because the drive was put off from early spring, when it should have been held, and comes now at a time when drives for other worthy causes just about "strap" the pocket books of Mr. Average Citizen. At any rate, the fact remains, Plattsmouth is the ONLY town in the Arbor Lodge district that has not met its 1938 area dues. The total amount the drive has brot in to date, is just slightly more than half the area dues of $90 a year, leaving the other half and an additional $50 or $60 needed for overhead costs (cabin upkeep, telephone, ground rental, insur ance, etc.) yet to be raised at this belated season of the year. Lists of names have been sup plied more than a score of con tactors in the hope of raising the entire 150 club membership in a few days and keeping Platts mouth in good standing on the Council books. Up to today, the amount tu'rned In to E. H. Wes cott has been but slightly over $60 or 4 0 per cent of the amount sought and needed if the cabin is to be given needed repairs this fall. A mere prompt respon&c i3 hoped for this coming week. 'i CAL From Thursday's Daily . Mr. and Mrs. Charles Read of Murray were visiting in Plattsmouth yesterday. From Friday's DrJ7 Mrs. E. P.

"Hov e" spans and masonry abutments were used on many streams. Screw pile piers were used on two crossings of Salt creek at Ashland. Oak trees and good drainage were provided. Trees were planted on north side of many cuts as windbreaks and snow catchers and to demonstrate the forest possibilities of the country. Right of way widths provided for protection of drainage along steep slopes of the Platte river. His Jdea3 of excellent workmanship of easy grade3 and curves, or good bridges and strong track were used In this work, which now after sixty years are still modern. The president of the road said of him at the board of directors meeting: "Your road (B. &. M.) was built by an engineer who did not know how to build a poor one."

Mrs. Fitzgerald (now residing in Denver) widow of John Fitzgerald, in a recent interview by Al Mcintosh, relates the following: "When it came time for Mr. Doane to return to Boston he came to our house to say good-bye." In doing so, he said to Mr. Fitz gerald, a staunch Catholic, Thomas Doane, a Congregationalist, said with regret: " 'I didn't do what I hoped to do when I first came out here.' " 'What was that ' asked Mr. Fitzgerald. " 'I wanted to found a college, they need one out here so badly,' said Mr. Doane. "'Why don't you go ahead and build it?' asked Mr. Fitzgerald. "'Why. it would cost $20,000 and I haven't got the money,' said Mr. Doane. " 'Why go ahead and build your college, I'll advance the money,' said Fitzgerald." And so Doane college came into being.
