tion, the Spirit of God. the coming

Last Evening
Services at First Presbyterian Church
Sermon of the Class of 1928
by Rev. Sortor.
From Monday's Dally
One of the last of the services that
mark the close of the school year
was held last evening at ine t irsi
-w-- . . . a. - 1.
graduating class of the Plattsmouth
high school.
The church was made very attrac
tive by a profusion of flowers on the
pulpit rnd platform, whose colors
added to the charm of the handsome
interior of the church.
The class of some fifty-nine of the
young people, accompanied by their
class sponsor, R. F. Patterson, enter
ed from the Fellowship room and
were given seats at the front of the
church to receive the splendid mes
sage that had been prepared for
them.
The prelude was given by Mrs. H.
F. Goos, organist of the church and
to which the class entered the church
auditorium to take their places that
had been reserved for them.
The invocation was offered by Rev.
H. G. McClusky, pastor of the First
Presbyterian church who gave the
divine blessing on the meeting and
on the class of splendid young peo
ple that were soon to depart from
the school.
Miss Sylvia Cole, supervisor of
music of the city schools, gave a
very beautiful solo number, "Thou
Wilt Keep Him in Perfect Peace"
by Patton.
The scripture reading of the ser
vice was given by Rev. H. E. Sortor
pastor of the First Methodist church.
The joint choirs of the Presby
terian and Methodist churches under
the direction of Miss Cole presented
the anthem, "Unfold Ye Portals." by
Gounod, a very beautifully given
number.
The class sermon y 'Rev. 'Sortor
was on "Spiritual Motives as a Basis

statistics of his own corporation to

seven per cent came from the highest
third of their classes in scholarship
rank and from the lowest third of
the salaried group forty-eight per
(cent came from the lowest third of
fthe scholarship groups of their re-
pective schools. However, we are
duty bound not to be satisfied with
good, but must choose the best or
central power of human life. We feel
that it can be ably demonstrated by
history that the spiritual qualities
or motives back of the individual life
are the determining force of his life.
You will learn in the near future,
if you have not already, that the
crowd never places anything in the
individual life. Just as in this text
in which Jesus by the press and
throng of life felt virtue going from
Him so each of us in our contacts
with society are drawn out. The
virtue was drawn out because of the
divine motives dominating his life.
We challenge you to have a vision of
life and its service that will be moti

will give you power to transform the
age in which you live. We not only

Pow Wow of the
Chamber of Com
merce May 31
Meeting at Pnfclic Library Will Be
Open to Public and Should Be
Well Attended.
From Tuesday's Daily
The chamber of commerce starts
the summer season of open monthly
meetings with the first being held
on Thursday evening. May 31st at
the auditorium of the public library.
These meetings will be known as
"pow-wows" and will be all Hhat the
name implies as the discussion of
civic problems will be featured at the
sessions and afford all those who
have suggestions of any kind that
may be for the community welfare to
express themselves..
It is the desire of" the officers t)f
the chamber of commerce that as
many of the members and others in
terested in the community welfare
avail themselves of the opportunity
of attending, and by a thorough in
terchange of ideas to get many varied
viewpoints on the city and its out
look. The chamber of commerce as well
as the welfare of the city is not the
task of any one man or two or three
men. but is the duty and responsi
bility of everv resident in the com
to-imunity and how vell or how pooriy
they discharge this responsibility de
pends the welfare of the city and the
surrounding territory. Those who fail
to give their part in the community
work either by active service in the
chamber of commerce or individual
boosting are withholding their part
in the march of progress and helping
retard the efforts of their more ener
getic brothers who are trying to make
the community better industrially
and in a business way.
The purpose and object of the pub
lic pow-wows is to give the fullest op
portunity for discussion of the civic
problems and to gather ideas that
may be of aid in securing helpful
moves for the community life and aid
in the material advancement of the
city in the future.
The meeting will be held at 8
o'clock and everyone interested in
Plattsmouth, women as well as men.
are urged to attend and to all get
into the harness and help join in the
boosting job rather than leave it to
a small group. Everyone residing
here has a greater or less interest
in the advancement of the city and
should do their part in making the
city better in every way and one of
the first moves in this direction is to
become one of the "good Indians"
and attend the chamber of commerce
pow-wow.

Miss Jessie Knight
Receives Congres
sional Honor Medal
Act of Mattoon Woman in Saving
Children's Lives Is Re
warded. From Tuesday's Daily
A Congressional Medal for heroism
has been awarded to Miss Jessie
Knight, steographer in the office of
F. J. Roytek, the storekeeper at the
Big Four shops. Miss Knight was of
ficially notified today and the badge
of extraordinary heroism in life sav
ing is expected to be received Sat
urday. It has been mailed from
Washington, I). C.
Three little girls, whose names
were never learned, but whose home
is thought to have been in the Grant
Park suburb of this city, were saved
by Miss Knight from being ground
beneath the wheels of a special in
spection train of the Big Four on
Wednesday, July 27, 1927. Miss
Knight did this at the extreme risk
of her own personal safety, barely
escaping with her life. It is on ac-j
count of this that "she became eligible
for the medal. Every circumstance
connected with the life-saving feat
was verified by James E. Jones, a
special agent of the Bureau of Safety,
Interstate Commerce Commission,
Washington D. C, who came to Mat
toon for that, purpose.
Brief History of Act.
The scene of the feat was the
Ninth street crossing of the Big Four
railroad, this city. One of four little
girls saw the train coming and ran
safely across the tracks, but three
smaller children stepped on the track
and becoming bewildered by a near
by switch engine and the inspection
special, seemed spellbound and could
-not move. Mass Knight and iuiss
Bess Lahey were on the scene.
Miss Knight sprang to the center
of the track and got the children out
of danger. She barely escaped being
struck bv the locomotive but was not
injured. This act was observed by
Mrs. J, B. liousha and .others who
were in the Bousha restaurant at the
time. Their affidavits were taken
by the investigator.
Although Miss Kinght Is and was
a Big Four employe, it was the Illi
nois Central division offices in this
city that took up the matter of se
curing a medal. The story was pub
lished in The Journal-Gazette and
the clipping was sent to the publicity
department of the Illinois Central at
Chicago. The Big Four offices also
took it up and the claim for a medal
was filed through the proper chan
nels. The Interstate Commerce Com
mission sent its investigator here and
every detail was verified. This has
resulted in the medal being awarded
Miss Knight. She lives with her par
ents. Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Knight,
2605 Western avenue. Mr. Knight
is a conductor on the Indiana division
of the Illinois Central railroad. By
reason of this the road took an inter
est in the award for Miss Knight.
Mattoon. (111.) Journal-Gazette.
Miss Knight, the recipient of this
high honor, is a sister of Mrs. Erie
Teepell of this city and who has re
ceived notice of the brave act of her
sister and its official recognition by
the government. In addition to the
medal Miss Knight also received a
personal letter from President Calvin
Coolidge, commending her for her
services in the cause of lifesaving.

president, had the task of providing
the dinner and this was one that will
be a cherished memory of the Ro
tarians as the delicious repast was
one such as only the clever hands of
the Cass county ladies can prepare
and which omitted nothing that
would go to make a perfect dinner.
The settings were also most attrac
tive with the garden flowers, the
pink candles and the beautiful ban
quet room to make it a most pleasant
memory.
The meeting was presided over by
Searl S. Davis and as the feast was
concluded the affair was placed in
the hands of L. D. Hiatt, chairman
of the program committee, with a
snappy and highly entertaining pro
gram to make the evening pass only
too rapidly for the members of the
party.
The Rotary quartet composed of
Frank Cloidt. L. D. Hiatt. R. W.
Knorr and H. G. McClusky gave sev
eral numbers during the evening,
also leading in the original greeting
songs to the Eight Mile Grove resi
dents that interspersed the program.
Lynn O. Minor, superintendent of
the Plattsmouth Water Co., who is
one of the musically inclined mem
bers of the Rotary, gave a very de
lightful bass sole. "O Sole Mio" that
was much enjoyed.
Attorney W. A. Robertson was also
called upon to give two clever and
humorous selections in the Swedish
dialect that proved a real hit of the
evening and "Bill" was mistaken by
several as an imported speaker from
Minnesota.
Frank A. Cloidt was heard in one
of his always pleasing tenor solos,
"In the Garden of My Heart."
The mirarnba offerings of Edgar
Wescott weie also one of the delight
ful features of the occasion, he of
fering a group of these pleasing num
bers, the popular selection. "Nola"
and as well as special arrangement
of two of the Rotary songs which
were dedicated to S. S. Davis and K.
H. Schulhof. being favorite numbers
of these two gentlemen. The group
was closed with the snappy "High
School Cadets" march. E. H. Wes
cott served as the accompanist for
the various musical numbers.
Rev. H. G. McClusky gave a very
fine talk on the doctrine and prac
tice of the International Rotary,
stressing the fact that this organiza
tion has as its prime motive the es
tablishment of good will among man
kind and the fulfillment of of the
golden rule in business and personal
lives of the members. It was carry
ing the message of fellowship and
good will that the Rotary visited
wjith their neighbors, and in his
very clever manner the genial pastor
carried this message to the Eight
Mile Grove community.
The response on behalf of the
guests of the evening was given by
the Rev. A. Lenz, the able and effi
cient pastor of the Eight Mile Grove
Lutheran church, in which he ex
I pressed the pleasure of the com
munity in having the Rotarians pres
'ent and wished that they might have
many more of these pleasant gath
erings in the future.
