HibrtsKn , tat Ulittif. S&latt mm r, VOL. NO. XLV PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA, MONDAY, FEBR. 25. 1929. NO. 7 f a be Birthday of Founder of the United States Anniversary of Georre Washington Occasion of the National Honor to Firs; President. Tli- month of February brings the biithday anniversaries of two of the great figures in our national Hie an: two whose lives marks radically dif !'!Fit lines of their early careers ilm fine a humble .son of the pioneers. born amid the most pitiless poverty and lack of opportunity, the other a descendeiit of an old and aristo- i a r i - family and whose birthplace was a plantation home in the cdony i if Virginia where had settled the aristocrats of the colonial days. The first of these, Abraham Lin coln, was the savior of his country, the second George Washington, the i-ader of the war for independence and who assisted in the formation .f til- new republic that Lincoln later saved from dissolution. The birthday anniversary of George Washington is to be observed on February 22nd. the 19Cth anniver sary of the birth of this great man. who saw the lie;ht ot day near Bridges Creek, Westmoreland county, Virginia, where his parents. Augus tine Washington and Mary Ball Washington and had been .settlers in the early days of the eighteenth cen tury. The father of the first presi dent followed the occupation of planter, his farm among the fertile land of theOId Dominion being one of the best in that locality and there the youthful George grew to man hood and where his character was formed from the ideals of his native land. Washington like Lincoln, did nut have the advantage of a college education, but in hi.-, broad exper ience as surveyor, soldier and states man, won a great place in the history o fthe world for himself and his na tion. It was perhaps as the soldier that the world knows Washington the best, the young1 surveyor-soldier serving with the British in the wars on the frontier and theu returning to his plantation home and the wife to remain until the rumbling of the revolution called him to the Virginia assembly and then to the continental congress, from which post he was calid to command the United armies of the colonies. The unshaken faith of Washington bore up the courage of the colonial .soldiers of the revolution when de feated, discouraged, caught in the snows of the winter at the camp at Valley Forge, they saw but little hope f the rainbow of victory that was to I.- theirs in the future and it was lure that Washington inspired his men to bear their suffering rather than the oppression that the colonies had suffered from England. The full credit of the success of the revolution is not that of any one man. but in it Washington bote his i-hare of the success, sharing with the great Franklin who won the French king to the colonial cause. Jefferson and Thomas Paine, leaders in the cause in the congresses of the colonies and inspiring the people to resist the tyrant and Robert Morris whose task of financing the revolu tion was a stupendous task. When war clouds rolled away Washington was called to take the h-lm of the drifting bark of national life and with Madison. Jay, Jeffer son. Adams and Hamilton, drew the articles that were to bind the thir teen separate and distinct colonies into a united group and of which General Washington was chosen as the first head. With the memory of the sacrifices of the war for independence in mind, Washington as well as the other leaders of the time, wrote into our law the protecting barriers of wise and prudent enactments that have formed the bulwark of our liberty and upon which the nation has grown great and the preservation of the liberties depends on the vigilance of the people of the nation. In honor of this great leader, of the memory or trie leaders In the war for independence the display of the flag in this city by citizens is urged and a general recognition made of the great part in history that George Washington has occupied.

Graveling Systems Will Mark County in Few Years Plans for Three East and West State and County Highways and Five or Six North and South. The work now outlined and that planned for the future for graveling in Cass county should place our county in good shape in the next few years as regards graveled highways and give every main road practically a surfaced roadway and interconnect ing with each other so that the resi dents of the county can reach any part of the county with convenience and comfort. 1 The gravel movement aided by the .offer of the board of county commis jsioners to go half with the precincts (that raise the funds for traveling jhas resulted i nalmost every section of the county getting into the gr;.vel ! game and preparing to pull them selves out of the mud with the help ling hand of the commissioners. The east and west roads that will serve the county are the "O" stieet road in the extreme southern part of the county, the Red Ball high way from Murray west and the Plattsmouth-Greenwood road, one of these is already graveled, the one has been a state road for two years and will eventually receive the nec essary aid from the state and the jlast named road is being rapidly j graveled as precincts along the line are stepping in to make this an all season road and the movement is on also to extend the Mynard road west for some distance and the Cedar Creek road also for the con n't nee of the residents in that section. On the north and south roads Louisville has had gravel in all patts of their precinct and now Center proposes to hook onto this system to the south and leaving but a few miles between this and the Weeping Water gravel when a road from the Platte river to "O" street and then on into Avoca would exist. Stove Creek precinct is getting a road east and west through the precinct to connect at Klin wood with the north and south gravel. Greenwood pre cinct is to have gravel from Alvo for the length of the precinct to connect up with other gravel projects and Eight Mile Grove with a graveling program along the Louisville road extends up into the town of Cedar Cieek itself. With the gathering in of the still ungraveled section's of the highways and the tying up of the roads Cass county will have a fine highway sys tem and one that will place almost every section of the county in touch with the graveled roads or but a short distance from them.
