Mrs. Cotner called at this office and asked: "Why is it, Mr. Davis, it is impossible to have a hospital in Plattsmouth?" Mrs. Cotner then told of the terrible suffering of her husband in the ride by car to Plattsmouth and then back to Omaha, about three hours being consumed before he reached the hos pital. We just feel it is not impos sible, and that Plattsmouth will come to the realization that as a city she refinement owes Iier citizens the benefit of a nospuai. trk tor nn o n irv nlaA xritTi th rP C- A.

Such dues to merely cover operating expenses and allow such members free access to the pool. There could also be charges for oth ers for use of the pool, and suits, along with other concessions that should make this a good investment for its owners.

President Coolidge looks with great hope on the pan-American flight as a means of fostering good" will and showing the enormous possibility of commercial aviation. Press accounts of the pro posed flight both in this country and in Central and South America repub lics were said today at the white house to have fairly presented its pur poses In that they emphasized that it would be absolutely non-military in character and designed only to promote amity and show some of America's southern neighbors what benefits can be derived from aerial communication. President Coolidge is well aware that lack of communication in some Central and South American coun tries Is due to natural and engineer ing difficulties and he hopes, there fore that the flight will help to solve in a practical way communication problems which at present appear insurmountable.
