Organization to Look After Needs of
Civic Improvement Is
Being Planned
ARRIVES IN CALIFORNIA
The organization of a Community
Service committee, dedicated to the
work of civic improvements and par
ticularly the beautifying and the pre
pervation of the natural beauty spots
of the community, is now in the mak
ing. the first step being a meeiin
held last evening at the K. H. Wes
cotr liome and where the plans for
another meeting on next Wednesday
at the Sattler home at 4th and Vine
streets.
There are a great many naturally
beautiful spots over the citv that are
disregarded and given little thotigh
when they might be made a real as
set to the community, and to see that
these are developed and preserved
is one of the aims of the suggested
organization.
I oo often tne most attractive na
tural scenery is neglected or allowed
to be removed or defaced, when a
community awakening to the advan
tage of these gifts of nature, would
lead to their being kept for the fu
ture residents of the city and not
destroyed.
The program of usefulness that
can be filled by an organization of
this nature is large and in the ranks
will be represented the city govern
ment. park board. Chamber of Com
merce. Woman's Club and Rotary, all
of whom are largely civic in their
scope of work.
Other fraternal or social organiza
tions have large fields of their own
to care for that would not allow of
their taking the active civic work
into their hands that would be pos
sihle with the organizations named
above and who can do a great work
in making this city one of the most
beautiful in the state. Nature has
been lavish in her gifts to this sec
tion of the state and in which this
city has its full share which should
be preserved, improved and banded
down to the future generations.
JTienus here have received word
from Carl Kenner that he has reached
the shores of the blue Pacific after a
most pleasant trip via the southern
route to the west coast and is now
visiting at hanta Monica. He had
enjoyed a visit with his brother, Har
old Renner and wife and found them
doing very nicely and Harold busv at
his trade of baker in one of the large
baking concerns on the west toast.
Carl slated that he was just prepar
ing to enjoy his first dip into the
waters of the ocean and was antici
pating very much the thrill of the
event.

From Saturday's Dill
The selection of the class of 1929
for their class play, "The Lion and
the Mouse," that drama of big busi
ness, politics and the judiciary, was
one that served to make a very fine
vehicle for the talents of the young
people selected for the cast, and its
presentation last evening at the Par-
mele was witnessed by a very large
audience.
This play is one of the greatest
success of the past twenty years and
offers a great opportunity for the
talents of the ones selected for the
cast and in the hands of the young
people of the class of 1929 was pre
sented in a very fine manner and one
that reflected the greatest credit upon
all of the cast and upon Miss Mary
Jane Tidball, the director of the pro
duction, and Miss McVey who had
assisted in the preparation of the
cast.
The story was based on the efforts
of the "Lion," John Burkett Ryder,
(Robert Hadraba) to drive from the
bench in disgrace Judge Rossmore.
(Robert Fitch) and the heroic work
of the daughter of Rossmore, "The
Mouse," Shirly, (Miss Vivian Living
ston) to save the father even by
bearding the lion in his own home.
The dramatic qualities of the play
were touched with the romance be
tween Shirley and Jefferson Ryder
(Joe Hartford.)
The cast supporting the principals
was composed of Miss Laura Skalak
as Eudoxia, tne tempermental mam
of the Rossmore home. Miss Janet
Snyder as "Miss Deetle," sister of the
"Rev. Pontifex Deetle," which role
was taken by Homer Spangler. Miss
Irma May field as "Miss Nesbit," the
banker's daughter, gave a pleasing
touch of comedy. Chris Bulin as
"Hon. Fit2roy Bagley," the secretary
of Ryder was also one of the chief
fun makers of the production in his
characterization of the English noble.
Miss Hilda Johnson appeared as the
wife of Judge Rossmore and Leonard
Stoehr as the butler, "Jorkins," a
part of the Ryder household. Miss
Leona Hudson appeared as the wife
of John Burkett Ryder.
In the role of Senator Roberts, the
political tool of Ryder, William
Mrasek was very effective and Miss
Catherine McClusky as "Kate Rob
erts," the daughter of Senator Rob
erts and whom the Lion had destined
to be the bride of his son, Jefferson,
proved a very pleasing character. As
the legal advisor and friend of Ross
more, Hamilton Meisinger gave a fine
presentation of the part. In inciden
tal roles Miss Margaret Iverson as the
maid of the Ryder family and Joe
Knoflicek as the expressman, assisted
in the completion of the fine cast.
Miss Tidball was called before the
curtain and responded to the warm
greeting of the audience with the
statement that two of the plays she
had desired to see given had been pre
sented, "Smilin' Through" and "The
Lion and the Mouse" and she was
hopeful the 1929 juniors would make
their play. "Lilac Time."

concerts during the coming summer,
which it is hoped to have started at
an early date. In addition, the civic
body voted $15 from its funds to
help defray the expenses of sending
Homer Spangler, Plattsmouth High
school athlete to Chicago to partici
pate in the national high school meet,
he having clipped off a mile at Lin
coin last week in just five seconds
less than the present record among
High school students over the coun
try.
Other minor matters were disposed
of, including plans for extending
greater courtesies to strangers with

have been prepared, extending wel

and states parked on our streets from
day to day.
At the conclusion of the routine
business. Postmaster Holmes intro
duced II. W. Peterson, of the Boeing
company, who gave a brief address
on the air mail service. Mr. Peter
son cited the fact that two years ago
the total investment in air transport
equipment over the country did not
exceed live million dollars and in
cluded but one transcontinental air
mail line from New York to San
Francisco, while now the investment
represents an outlay of over 150 mil
lion dollars and comprises a network
of mail lines with day and night fly
ing schedules that permit of getting
a letter from this part of the coun
try to any point in the United States
within one day's time. There are 31
independent companies engaged in
mail transportation of which the
Boeing concern is one.
Mr. Peterson cited the fine service
available here as compared with Om
aha. Letters can be mailed in spec
ial air mail boxes there as late as
11:40 a. m. for dispatch on after
noon planes from Fort Crook, while
here the time limit is only 4 0 min
utes earlier, or 10:00 a. m. For the
night planes, letters sent from here
on the evening Missouri Pacific flyer
are promptly sent on their way when
the night planes go out around mid
night.
Mr. Petersn touched on the pos
sibilities of air transportation and ex
hibited pictures of the new 12 pas
senger planes the Boeing company is
now placing in service between Salt
Lake City and the coast, and declar
ed that by the first of September an
exclusive passenger service would be
instituted through Omaha, using an
even larger cabin type of plane, cap
able of carrying 18 passengers and
weighing upwards of nine tons.
Passenger rates are figured on the
basis of 10 cents a mile, including
transportation to and from the fields
at terminals, meals en route, etc., and
compare favorably, he declared, with
rail rates which average upwards of
C cents per mile, considering Pull
man, diner and like accommodations.
He also cited the fact that one
can leave Omaha for San Francisco,
spend a day there transacting busi
ness and return to Omaha before a
party leaving for there by rail has
even reached his destination.
Up to Start the Concert
Season Soon
A DIRTY TRICK
Norris Peoples, son of N. K. Peo
ples, has for a long time been cutting
lawns in the summer and odd jobs
in the winter, with the avowed in
tention of purchasing himself a
lawn mower that he could use in the
cutting of lawns and be able to se
cure more of this class of work. Nor
ris finally raised the necessary
amount and bought the lawn mower
and has been busy since with his
jcbs. Yesterday he was cutting the
grass at the Waterman place and de
cided not to take his lawn mower
home but placed it under the porch
of the house and this morning dis
covered his mower wTas gone and an
old worn out mower had been sub
stituted. This is a dirty trick to play in
taking the mower that the young
man has worked so hard to secure
and the loss of the grass cutter has
been a very grevious one to Norris.
From Friday's Dally
The Eagles band of this city last
evening resumed their practice for
the purpose of the opening of the
concert season in the near future
as soon as the weather permits and
warmer and dryer conditions will al
low the open air concerts to be
staged.
The band concerts which have been
featured here for the past several
years are always a very delightful
form of summer entertainment not
only for the residents of this city but
for those from nearby communities
who drive here to enjoy an hour. of
excellent music and the announce
ment that the concerts will be re
sumed will be hailed with a great
deal of delight by the general pub
lic.
The Plattsmouth band numbers
some Tery Tine mnmcians and with
the veteran members of the band will
be found a number of the younger
musicians who have in the Juvenile
band secured excellent experience
that will stand them well in hand
nd with their playing in the main
band will assist them in becoming
finished musicians.
To assist the concert season the
Chamber of Commerce directors have
voted $100 to apply on the fund and
this will doubtless be followed by
the retail section of the civic body,
comprising the business interests of
the city and the matters will then
be tnken up later with the city to
secure what funds mav be available
for the support of the concert pro
gram for the season.
The concert season gives the mem
bers of the band a small return for
the work of practice and study dur
ing the winter season and while not
providing a heavy cost for the con
certs gives the members the know
ledge that their efforts are being ap
predated and that the city and the
residents of the community are proud
of their work and delighted that we
have as fine a band as we have to
represent the city in the musical
field.
INSTALL NEW BINS
Several hundred dollars worth of
Lyon Steel parts bins have just been
installed by the Plattsmouth Motor
Company, to be used in handling the
new Model A and AA parts. The
Lyon bins are considered the best
on the market and are made so that
they take up very little room and yet
allow enough space to handle the
parts in a systematic way.
The stock of Model A and AA parts,
held ready for the needs of the new
car owners, is in addition to the
$10,000 stock of Model T and Tractor
parts carried by this firm.
It is the policy of the Ford Motor
Company to stock all thei rdealers
with a complete line of parts so that
the parts are always available to the
users of their cars wherever they
travel. The local dealership has al
ways tried to carry out this policy.
