Entertained at the Home of Mrs. Ed
Fullerton Yesterday Afternoon
With Large Attendance.
From Saturday's Dally
Yesterday afternoon the ladies of
the American Legion Auxiliary were
most delightfully entertained at the
home of Mrs. Edward Fullerton and
who was assisted in the program by
Mrs. Herman Tiekotter, Mrs. Faye
McCIintock and Mrs. Carl Tiekotter.
After the ladies had disposed of
the business portion of the meeting
the afternoon was turned over to
the legislative program which con
sisted of the reading of the United
States constitution and the discus
sion of this historical document as
well as current events of the na
tional and international interest,
chief of which was the world court.
The ladies also completed the work
of disposing of the number on their
fine quilt that had been donated and
the proceeds of which were to go
to the Legion community building
fund. The quilt was awarded to Mrs.
William Kraeer.
The meeting was especially Inter
esting in the tact that seven new
members were present and enjoyed
the fine program and meeting that
had been arranged by the hostesses
and which was both profitable and
pleasurable.
- The Auxiliary are planning on
making their next meeting guest day
and at which time each, member is
requested to bring a guest eligible
for membership to the Auxiliary
At the close of the afternoon
dainty and delicious refreshments
were served that added rery much
to. the enjoyment of all of the mem
bers present and the members of
the party were more than delighted
with the royal hospitality afforded
them.
The Cass County Bridge and High
way association, which was recently
organized for the purpose of creating
and crystallizing public sentiment
for an adequate system of bridges
over the Missouri river, is gaining
momentum and supporters constant
ly. Many letters of inquiry are re
ceived and the correspondence shows
a growing interest in the program
as laid out. The following leaflet
has been prepared and it being mail
ed out from the headauarters at
Eagle to all inquiries and to parties
both in Nebraska and Iowa who
likely push the organization work
In ancient times, when conquest
was the chief pastime of people, mas
sive walls and natural barriers were
used for tribal protection, to retard
the invasion of the enemy. As time
past these same natural barriers be
came the boundry line between es
tablished governments, and are, to
a great extent, so utilized at the
present time. But the war-like activi
ties of tribes and nations, states and
communities have been almost en
tirely overcome. Civilization has de
veloped a new era; and the invasion
of today is commercial rather than
ruthless murder.
The Missouri river would, at one
time, have served as a barrier to re
tard the invasion of the enemy, but
today it serves as a barrier to re
tard the advance of commercial enter
prise. It does not stop the advance,
because civilization a mighty en
gine driven by omnipotent power
cannot be stopped. But it does re
tard and interfere with the inexor
able, onward march of progress. Man
has devised means of overcoming
these barriers, and no longer are
there inaccessible parts of the world.
The areoplane and automobile have
made neighbors of all humanity.
Boats and ferries made the cross
ing of streams no great hardship,
and great armies have been trans
ported in this manner. Then came
the railroads, aad to avoid the de
lay of such transportation aeross
streams, bridges were built. In many
cases they were also used for the
purpose of accommodating teams and
footmen. These, in turn, where traffic
was heavy, were supplemented by
bridges and only for the one pur
pose.
Here in Nebraska we have reach
ed the latter stage. The time is at
hand when we are retarding civili
zation by not having adequate facili
ties for crossing this obstruction.
We are holding up our own prosper
ity by neglecting to open entry gates
One of the great needs of the state
is a system of bridges across this
river which will permit and invite
invasion bv the great commercial
army which is ever marching west
ward.
The cost of this great enterprise
will not be a burden if taken hold
of in an intelligent manner. South
Dakota built five bridges across the
Missouri river at a total cost of two
million dollars in round numbers,
notwithstanding the fact that Feder
al engineers had estimated one of
these at one million eight hundred
thousand dollars and South Dakota
built them without assistance from
anywhere, as the state lies on both
sides of the river. Our bridges, will
cost more perhaps, but we will not
have the entire cost to contend with
as Iowa and Missouri are parties to
the enterprise. We have built a ten
million dollar State House and paid
for it without noticing the cost. The
same levy, continued after the com
pletion of the State Capitol, will in
two or three years pay all of our
part of this entire bridge program.
and we will never miss it, or regret
it.
The purpose of this organization
is to drive this fact home to the peo
ple of the state in such a forceful
manner that they will demand action.
Adequate facilities cannot be provid
er by private mean3, and it is not
desirable that they should. The
prosperity of the state is the con
cern of all, and this program should
be a state enterprise.
Cass county is already organized
for the campaign, but it is not de
sirable, even were we selfish in the
matter, for one county to shoulder
all this responsibility. Inasmuch as
the plan is a statewide one, and for
a system of bridges adequate to the
needs, there should be organization
from South Dakota to Kansas. We
of course, when the proper time
comes, will present the claims of
Plattsmouth, and hope to secure the
location of one of the bridges, but
our program is broad and generous,
and by assisting us you will also
assist your county, and only by a
united, unselfish, harmonious team
effort can the big idea succeed.
You and your county are invited
and urged to co-operate with us,
and have a part In this undertaking.
We are striving to so present the
matter to the State of Nebraska and
the State of Iowa also the State of
Missouri at Rulo that joint action
may be had in building a program
of six bridges at points to be de
signed by the legislature, which will
make continuous the most important
Inter-state highways. To do this it
will be necessary to have the co-op
eration of, more especially' the river
counties, on both sides, but eventu-j
ally the legislative delegations from
out state. .
