HAVE CAR WRECKED
Sunday night while Edward Mul
len was returning to Missouri Val
ley. Iowa, where he is now located
with his grandfather, E. H. Krug, in
managing the Mullen meat market
at that place, he suffered a very
severe auto accident that resulted in
a great deal of damage to the Pon
tiac coach belonging to the Mullen
family.
Mr. Mullen in company with John
Newton was driving along the high
way and the rain and slight fog was
making the going very hard for the
driver as they made their way along
the highway A short distance out
of Missouri Valley the Pontiac sud
dently crashed into a Ford car that
was parked in the right center of the
v'oad and directly in the path of the
car of Mr. Mullen and also left stand
ing without lights. The driver of
the Ford had gotten out to fix a tire
and his wife was also standing along
the car when the accident occurred.
The car being without lights and the
stormy weather conditions prevented
Mr. Mullen seeing the car until too
close to avoid the collision. ,The Ford
was driven down the highway some
distance as the result of the impact
but was practically undamaged while
the Pontiac of Mr. Mullen was al
most a complete wreck. Both the
driver of the Ford and his wife were
bruised and injured and it was nec
essary to take them on into Missouri
Valley to the hospital for treatment.
Fortunately neither Mr. Mullen or
John Newton were seriously injured
altho both were bruised up to some
extent by the force of the impact.

Elks Banquet Last Night Furnishes
Nucleous for Definite Objective
in Community Service.
From Tuesday's Pally
Some wise old saee once said "In
POUnst-i there is wisdom." And it was
the basic truTh of this aJnm that
prompted the officers of Plc.ttsmouth
Elks lodge to arrange a banquet for
its members last night at the Legion
community building to discuss the
swimming pool subject and myriad
othf-r matters of vital concern to theiBion.

casions in the near future.
I During the serving of the repast,
'group singing led by George Dovey,
with E. H. Wescott at the piano, set
the party attune for the pleasant
i of the lodge and their families at an
early date.
L. R. Turpin was called upon and
presented some facts and figures re
garding membership decreases in the
last few years and the need of some
nucleous around which to build in-
I terest among the younger generation
and induce them to want to join the
j Elks lodge. Dr. Stuart Livingston
1 was also heard in a brief discussion
I of the subject, stressing particularly
the healthful exercise that comes from
swimming, and the project evolved
into a round-table discussion with
the various members of the banquet
party giving their views on the mat
ter. Some of those opposed to the
swimming pool project advanced
splendid ideas of other enterprises in
which the Elks might engage with
tne same benencial results as con
templated from the pool, particularly
the acquisition of land for a golf
course, (in which they would be able
to derive rental revenue, and which
would always be worth its cost
should the occasion ever arise when
they wished to dispose of it. One of
thp outstanding proponents of this
plan was Henry Schneider, a past
exalted ruler of the lodge, and his
views were shared by many others
in the round-table discussion.
A vote on the matter of empower
ing the swimming pool committee to
go ahead with the provisional mem
bership plan preliminary to building
the pool was defeated 33 to S, and
it was decided that other ideas ad
vanced by the members be brought
up at the regular business session of
the lodge this evening, to the end of
getting some worth-while project
started that will revive a seemingly
dwindling interest in Elkdom.
Toastmaster Begley spoke in opti
mistic vein, voicing his belief that
the membership will rally to the
support of any feasible project that
may be worked out and replace every
lapsing member with two new ones.
Several distinguished guests were
present and were called upon by the
toastmaster for brief addresses.
August Schneider, of York lodge,
and chairman of the Crippled Child
ren movement in Nebraska, told of
what is being done in New Jersey
and Washington along this line, also
of what York lodge has accomplished
in the restoration of one boy thru a
series of operations, who is now able
to walk without the aid of crutches
or cane and gradually being restored
to full use of his legs. This boy had
been helpless since early childhood,
dun to infantile paralysis and with
out the helpful aid of York lodge
his parents could never have borne
the expense of his restoration and he
would have gone through life a help
less cripple. He is now an honor stu
dent in Junior-High and learning a
vocation that will permit him to be
come a useful and Belf-supporting
citizen.
The budget for this endowment
fund in Nebraska has been Bet at
only $10,000 little more than $1
from each Elk in the state and all
lodges are being urged to raise their
quota. The fund will be invested in
gilt-edge securities and the earnings
therefrom used for the restoration of
crippled boys and girls whose parents
are unable to bear the cost connected
therewith.
Walter C. Nelson, secretary of Om
aha lodge No. 39, was the next
speaker and he painted a bright pic
ture for the future of Plattsmouth
lodge, telling of how the Omaha
lodge had stimulated attendance at
its meetings 150 per cent in the last
few months and was actually replac
ing every lapsing member with more
than two new ones. Mr. Nelson has
attended many similar functions of
Plattsmouth lodge and spoke in com
plimentary terms of the fine spirit of
fellowship and co-operation he sees
evidenced here on every such ocea-
ples or KiKciom.
The closing speaker on the even
ing's program was T. B. Dysart, cf
Omaha, president of the state Elks
association. Mr. Dysart stated that
the problems that confront Platts
mouth lodge are few compared with
the obstacles that have been over
come by other Elks lodges over the
state, and cited the instance of Hast
ings lodge, where little more than a
year ago the membership had dwin
dled to fourteen and now a new $5,
000 club home has just been opened,
with an active paid-up membership
of 500 and a goal of S00 being rapid
ly reached. He paid tribute to such
get-together meeting- as last night's
banquet and laid emphasis on the
possibilities of co-op ration toward a
definite fixed goal whether that goal
be swimming pool, golf course, bowl
ing alleys or what not. His three
fundamental rules for tourists have
a definite objective .jn, view, heed the
signs at the crossroads and step on
the gas calculated to get them there
in shortest time, he said were ap
plicable to individual business men
and to Elks lodges and he pointed out
that Plattsmouth lodge is now paus
ing at the crossroads.
The evening was a most pleasing
one from both tn entertaining and
inspirational standpoint and from
the healthful exchange of ideas is ex
pected to come increased attendance
at the business sessions of the lodge
and renewed interest in the advance
ment of the great principles espoused
by Elkdom.

Railsback hooped and left the quar
ter 11 to 9 for Plattsmouth.
The second quarter of the game
was a very disastrous one for the
Kittens as Perry and Wescott each
hung up two baskets and Galloway
one while Applegate was the only
visitor to make a field goal, altho
three free throws helped them on
their way and left the half standing
21 to 14 for the Platters.
After the half the Peruvians made
a strong bid for winning and Rails
back made three field goals with
Palston securing a long shot from
the side that was good. Perry with
three fine baskets and Wescott with
a free throw added to the Platts
mouth lead and the quarter found
the score at 27 to 23 for the blue
and white.
The last quarter saw close guard
ing of Railsback by the locals and
who gathered his only scenes from
free throws while Williams and
Cowell, taking advantage of the
guarding of RailHback, slipped in
two counters on the locals. In the
smashing attacks George Perry rang
up two baskets and while the visitors
were striving desperately to narrow
the margin between the teams Jack
Hatt planted a basket that practi
cally iced the game for the locals.
