PHLLATHEA CHRISTMAS PARTY
From Thursday's Dally !
The Philathea class of the Metho
dist church held a very delightful
Christmas party at the church parlors
last evening which was attended by
a large number of the class and prov
ed a most delightful feature of the
Drocram of the vear. After the close

of the businesa session the members

social time and with the Christmas
decorations adding a tone of warm
Each of the members of the class
came with gifts that will be used at
Christmas time in the remembrances
to the needy of the city and where
ther spirit of Santa Claus will not
be present to any great extent. As
the result of the interest of the mem
bers here was a great deal of stable
articles received for use of the Christ-
Community Can
Rally from Shock
by Closer Unity
City and People Can Find Strength
in More Closely Developing
Co-operation Here.
According to the El Faso Times,
the easiest way to get back on your
feet is to get rid of your car.
The great big thing about Platts
mouth is that she has a vigorous con
stitution. Many young ladies having
! endured the blows she has would
have turned to new thought or taken
rooms in the hospital for neures
thenia. Not Plattsmouth she just
sticks her chin out. smiles like
and goes ahead. How we glory in
the Plattsmouth spirit. You can't
keep a good city down not with the
citizens we have.
History is written more correctly i
years after the incidents have occur-
red. Progress springs more often:
from seeming calamities and the need j
for vigorous work, than from easy
going times but nearness clouds our
vision.
Secretary Powell, of the Omaha
Chamber of Commerce stated yester
day that all cities are acknowledg
ing the fact that progress mu;t come
through organized effort and on this
account Chamber of Commerce orga
nizations are being promoted and
generously supported from good busi
ness reasons alone, all over the Unit
ed States, with finances to permit an
aggressive, active program, for pub
licity and for advertising. As long as
they are supported only sufficiently
to keep them as a social club, their
usefulness is greatly curtailed and
they can accomplish little, if any
thing, toward building up the town
and community.
Florida, California and Arkansas,
today the three ,most widely recog
nized states in the union, are forging
to the front through the effective
work of their Chamber of Commerce
organizations, and that means ad
vertising. When a merchant feels his busi
ness slipping, he puts on an active,
aggressive advertising campaign to
attract new customers to his door.
When a city feels itself slipping, it
is high time to get together, build up
a powerful advertising program thru
the medium of its Chamber of Com
merce and proceed to draw prosperity
to itself and that is just what is
being done all over America today.
Florida would still be a bunch of
swamps, sandy wastes, palmetto
palms and long-billed mosquitos if
the Chamber of Commerce organiza
tions throughout that state had fail
ed to receive most generous support
on the great advertising campaigns
they have put across. Nebraska
Plattsmouth, too are both stepping
forward. You can't keep the wide
awake middle-west down in this day
of cramped conditions in eastern me
tropolises and expansion of manufac
turing and allied industries.
The growth of Omaha Is reflected
in the visions of its far-sighted men
who have gone out after things and
yet only a good start has been made
in comparison with what can be done
in the next decade.
Our photographer Cummins has
presented this office with photo
graphs he took of good old Santa on
his visit here last Saturday. You can
see them by calling at this office
and the Secretary, too. Today Cum
mins tested out a movie machine
the severest test he could figure on
by subjecting the writer to a reel
of himself, ast reports are that the
camera and child are doing as well
as could be expected.
Tuesday had dinner with the Ex
ecutive committee and oard of Direc
tors of Omaha -Chamber of Commerce
in joint session, at the kind Invitation
of Secretary Powell. Had a bully
dinner and a big thick Martha
Washington pie. Spoke several times
about how good it was, but failed to
receive a second helping. Must have
been a poor hinter. Secretary Powell
invited us into his holy of holies sanc
torium sanctatis, and chatted two
hours on chamber of commerce pro
grams and activities. Met a fine
bunch of big hearted public spirited
men who are doing things for Omaha
. , , , , , . . ..,
and they look, talk and act just like
our unu uuc iiuuni. ciuiucu viuicuo
who are ever on the alert for progress
our own nne pudhc spirited citizens'
for Plattsmouth.
The Arkansas Gazette states that
bee language is a kind of dance the
bees perform with their feet. The
only way bees have ever tried to com
municate with us was in sitting out
their dances.
The Good Samaritan was despised
by the Jews, but he stopped on the
road, and gave a helping hand to the
wayfarer on the road to Jericho.
It's no good to say, "Too bad, too
bad." Far better to say, "Well, old
scout, what fell can I do to help?"
So, the only thing: to do, is to draw
a feller's belt tighter, shrug his
shoulders, put on a smile and get the
biggest get - together organization
that can be found in Nebraska, and
boost, shove and advertise Platts
mouth. It'll work just come and
give it a try.

Cold and Freezing Weather Makes
Possible Realization of the
Plans for Sink.
From Thursday's Daily
The skating rink at
the tourist
park on Washington avenue is now
a real institution and last evening the
rink was the scene of a real pleas-
urable gathering S John Hatt, the
chairman of the " chr.mber of com
merce committee, formally opened
the rink and skated a few times to
assure the youngsters thai the rinl;
was all that it should be.
The rink is a plnce of amusement
that has been very much needed and
will be a place of real enjoyment to
all of the youngsters of the city who
delight in ice skatirg or wi.sh to learr.
as they can have a very pleasant
place to skate and one that is ab
solutely safe as far as the danger
from drowning is concerned as the
water is only a depth su3icicnt to
furnish a good ice basis for the skat
ers use. The rink is lighted up st;
that it can be used at night and will
make a real place for the lovers rf
this sport either in the day cr eve
ning and will in the next few week?
be one of the most popular places in
the city.
For a number of years a place of
this nature has beea wished for but
this is the first time thatit has been
tried. out and thvAc!s nf the rink
will probably be the inspiration for a
larger one next season and the com
mittee that has been working cn the
project are deserving of a gerat deal
of credit.

From Thursday's Ially
The Parent-Teachers association of
the Wintersteen hill school, last eve
ning, held a pleasant Christmas party
at the school building and which was
very largely attended by the patrons
of the school.
The school rooms had been decorat
ed with the bright Christmas colors

the scene and here the pleasant time
was spent and in addition a group of
tastefully arranged booths for the
sale of candy and other articles were
to be found.
A fine little Christmas tree was the
center of attraction and this was
featured later in the evening by the
advent of Santa Claus with little re
membrances and gifts and which de
lighted the young and old. Santa also
brought a pretty remembrance for;tnat -g,, both winsome
Mrs- J. L. Balwin. the president of
the association and which will be
a most delightful treat for the lady
who has so efficiently presided over
the destinies of the teachers-patrons.
After the Chirstmas program of
musical numbers and recitations the
members cf the party proceeded to
enjoy the bazaar and at the close of
the evening refreshments were served
that added to the pleasantness of the
event.

i years and in which the young poo-
pie have b?en preparing for some
time with the musical parts of the
production under the i'irection of
Leroy S. Fager. supervisor of music
