STILL NEED BOXESS
Not yet having a full quota of
seven boxers to fill out his program
of amateur boxing during the King
Korn Karnival Promoter Kid Graves
declares there is quite a race on be
tween the lightweights and welters,
for representation on the King Korn
Karnival platform. Those two divi
sions have outstripped all the other
weight classes in the number of en
tries presented.
While the margin is a narrow one,
the friends of the welterweight box
ers who have already entered, feel
confident they will be able to dig
up one more amateur welterweight
boxer to fill out the card and take
over the tourney, which will be lim
ited to one class, that class that pre
sents the first seven entries.
Predominating In members at this
time, the welters are still not cer
tain to have it made into a welter
tourney. The lightweights are run
ning them a close race, being only
one entry behind. With Frank Heigl
signing up. the 147 pound class now
has six entries, needing but one more
while the 135 pound battlers need
two more to make the seven elect.
Promoter Kid Graves has selected a
referee and two judges and is consid
ering the selection of timers. It may
be that two timekeepers will be
chosen, one to handle the gong and
the other to keep an eye on the
watch. Arnold Lillie and George
Schmader have been selected as
judges and Alvie Graves, who lias
several years' experience as a referee
in both amateur and professional
bouts, in addition to his experience
in the lightweight professional ranks.
15 to 2 years ago.
Now, let the lightweights or wel
ters. fill out their quota of entries
and the show is on and waiting for

In summer by the gate.
And though we mocked her tenderly,
Who had such foolish care.
The long way home would 6eem
more safe
Because she waited there.
Her thoughts were all so full of us,
She never could forget.
And so I think that where she is
She must be watching yet.
Waiting till we come home to her,
Anxious li we are late
Watching from Heaven's window,
leaning rrom Heaven s gate.

The state American Legion con
vention at Lincoln Tuesday voted the
Hugh J. Kearns post No. 56, of the
Nebraska American Legion, the Dunn
cup for the most outstanding service
In the Legion Boy Scout program in
the state.
This trophy is presented by Dr.
Arlo N. Dunn, of Omaha, as an award
for the post that has shown the
greatest interest and advancement
in the work of the year. Dr. Dunn
makes this as a personal award for
this work, he being the chairman of
Boy Scout activities of the Nebraska
Department of the American Legion
of Nebraska. Dr. Dunn is one of
the leading specialists in Omaha and
has offices in the Medical Arts build
ing and in Scouting finds his relax
ation and pleasure. Dr. Dunn will
be Invited here for the court of
honor on next Tuesday to visit the
troop and the Legion post honored by
his trophy.
The honor is one of which the local
post can feel a just pride in securing
and is a tribute to the hard and un
tiring work of the Legion scoutmas
ter Raymond J. Larson, who has had
r rtive training of the Scouts and
ihe fine work of the executive com
mittee executives that has carried on
the program for the past year.
Mr. Larson has a record of ten
years of service with the Scouts and
to his deep Interest, intensive study
and training and untiring patience
in the conduct of the meetings and
the active Scout work, rests much of
the reason for the outstanding suc
cess of scouting in Plattsmouth.
The executive officers of the local
committee comprise E. A. Webb,
chairman: E. H. Wescott, promotion:
Edward Ofe, transportation; Fred
Lugsch, finance: J. A. Capwell, pa
trol and these have all been untiring
in their efforts to keep the Scout
program at its very high standard.
At the time that Mr. Larson and
the Legion took over an active pait
in the Scouting program, there wero
three small troops hre, all suffer
ing from ned of leadership, in scout
masters. Mr. Larson has made many
sacrifices of his time to be out and
in active charge of the boys at their
meetings and recreational work.
Under the leadership of the Legion
Camp Wheeler was made possible by
securing a CWA project and to which
the citizens of the community added
their part in making the cabin a
realization. For two successive years
the camporee of the Arbor Lodge dis
trict ha? been held here and among
ihe most successful in the history of
Scouting. The local troop also enjoys
Its annual Hallowe'en party at this
camp which is ideally located and
has been a great spot in the work
and fun of the Scouts.
In the past year the local Scouts
have organized and maintained safety
patrols at the Central and high
schools, protecting those going to and
from school in this heavily traveled
area, the Scouts served as assistants
to the police in the King Korn Kar
nival parades and in the past few
years have helped make a clean safety
record.
The keen interest of the Scouts
has been held by the steady advance
ment program of the local troop
which Mr. Larson has urged and the
Scouts showing great interest and
study in securing the promotion
awards.
The Plattsmouth Legion troop held
one of the area courts of honor in
the year and will be the hosts for
the first court of honor of the fall of
1939 and at which time two local
Scouts. Bill Rosencrans, of South
Bend, long active in local Scout
work, and James L. Webb, one of the
outstanding Scouts, will be given
their Eagle Scout awards, the high
est award that a boy can receive in
Scouting.
In the time that the Legion has
carried on the Scouting program,
there have been three of their Scouts
receive the Eagle award, James M.
Robertson, n, now an ensign in the
U. S. navy. Francis Libershal, gradu
ate of the University of Nebraska,
now at Fort Logan, Colorado, acting
first lieutenant of the Engineering
Corps. U. S. A., and William E. Evers,
now a sophomore at the University
of Nebraska.
The community has long been
proud of the record in Scouting un
der the Legion program and are truly
gratified that this hard work on
the part of the leaders and the boys
has won a state wide recognition.
Mrs. Leonard Taylor, the former
Miss Loretta Taylor, a P. H. S. gradu
