city.
FIRE THREATENS LIQUOR STORE
From Friday's Daily
This noon a small fire in the rear
store room of the Donat liquor store
caused considerable alarm in the
business section of the city. The fire,
which was apparently caused by a
cigarette or match that had been
inadvertently thrown into a waste
paper basket, had spread to the bot
tom portion of the wooden partition
that separates the sales room from
the store room.
The fire was discovered by Mrs.
Hamilton Mark, who had gone to
the store to see her father, Edward
Donat, and on entering the room she
detected the smell of smoke and dis
covered the blaze.
The fire was checked by the
prompt work of Fred Lugsch and
George Thun, who rushed to the
scene with buckets of water and ex
tinguished the blaze without the
necessity of calling the fire department.
MRS. SV0B0DA HAS GUESTS
Mrs. Conrad Flynn and daughter
and Mrs. Osbie Finders of River
Sioux, Iowa, were in Plattsmouth
Thursday and were afternoon guests
of Mrs. Hermie Svoboda and fam
ily. Mr. Flynn and Mr. Finders are
river project employees and during
their residence here a few years ago,
the two families resided- on the Svo
boda property in their trailer houses.
The ladies motored back in the
evening.

cism of the Nebraska Parole system
today by remarking "the proof of
the pudding is in the eating."
Commenting on an assertion in
the book, "Parole with Honor" by
Wilbur La Roe, a District of Colum

probation officer was overburdened,
Cochran said: "Theoretically he may
be right, but practically our system
has been successful. The curve of
failures through recent years shows
fewer and fewer parole violations."
