Citizen Awards in From Friday's Dally Delegates named at last night's American Legion meeting to attend the 12th district convention at Weep ing Water on November 15, are E. G. Ofe and H. L. Gayer, with James Lipert and Fred Lugsch, alternates. In addition to the official delegates and alternates, a large number of the post members are planning on attending the convention. County Judge A. H. Duxbury has been named as a member of the Resolutions committee at the con vention and will go early in the day. The plan adopted here last year of having resolutions in the hands of the committee in the forenoon, will be carried out at Weeping Water expediting the work of the commit tee very greatly and enabling them to bring in their report by mid- afternoon instead of delaying the hour of adjournment as has been the case heretofore, when the Resolutions committee did not meet until after noon. One of the matters to come before this committee, which has the back ing of a number of posts in the dis trict, including Plattsmouth, is sug gested changes in the method of se lecting citizenship candidates. It is felt that either greater stress should be placed on citizenship as applied in the lives of the candidates, or the contests should be labeled for what they include, namely intelligence and health teats. A revised program of requirements will be suggested by those posts favoring the change. The contests have been sponsored joint ly by the Legion and World-Herald, resulting in the selection of ten out standing young citizens five girls and five boys. Armistice Day Speakers II. L.

Nebraska young people rate high in any national 4-H entries and in college board exams. . They seem to know what they want and possess the ambition to go out after it. In connection with all this is the excellent showing of our young- sters against the field of 18 boys and Cirls to be selected from among talented youth all over the country to get a trip to Hollywood. In a nationwide talent search based on a combination of good looks, outstand ing personalities and real acting abil ity, believe it or not two of these eighteen turned out to be Nebras kans. They are Pamela Gary and Raymond Ilofmann, both from Oma ha. The opportunity given these young fellow citizens of ours is made pos rible by the local merchants, cooper ating with a well known national product. The product is Doublemint 5Um, put out by the Wrigley Co. If more industries would follow this example of aiding local mer chants to give opportunity to youth which broaden their scope of vision, it would be a good thing.
