Bridge Opening
May 1 6th to be
Gala Occasion
Shcps and Stores to Close During
Afternoon Many Accept In
vitation to Luncheon.
The largest crowd in Plattsmouth
in years that is what is confident
ly looked forward to on Friday. May
lGlh the occasion of the formal
opening and dedication ceremonies
of our new Missouri river bridge.
A crowd of 28 notables from Lin
coln, other delegations of two, three,
four and more from towns east and
west, including mayors. Chamber of
Commerce officials and newspaper
editors the mails are daily bringing
in, acceptances to attend the noonday
complimentary luncheon that starts
i lie afternoon's program off in proper
manner.
The luncheon will be held at the
Legion community building and pres
ent indications are that the entire
service equipment for 200 banqueters
will be brought into use.
Following the luncheon, comes the
parade of floats and decorated cars,
bearing the distinguished guests, and
followed by cars of the hundreds of
local and out-of-town people, to the
parking site on the east side of the
river. The parade will be led by the
17th Infantry band of Fort Crook,
one of the finest musical organiza
tions of the middle west.
To be Half Holiday
The dedicatory ceremonies and
christening of the bridge are to begin
at 2:30. being held on the high pla
teau just west of the Nebraska ap
proach to the structure.
In order that the ceremonies may
be attended by all Plattsmouth resi
dents, every effort i3 being made to
secure a half holiday for all store
keepers, clerks, county officers, shop
men and school children. Superin
tendent Baird of the Burlington rail
way shops, has arranged for permis
sion to close on Friday afternoon in
stead of Saturday and operate a full
day Saturday and it is -quite probable
the DREVX shops will be able to give
their employes a half holiday. The
school board has granted permission
for the closing of the schools that af
ternoon and the attendance of the
school children at the ceremonies.
The retail Bection of the Chamber of
Commerce is co-operating in the hope
of having every business place in
town closed at least during the hour
and a half required for the dedica
tory program. An effort is also be
ing made to have a half holiday de
clared for court house employes. In
this manner, practically everyone will
be able to get out on the street and
mingle with the crowd, ride out to
the bridge and attend the ceremon
ies there.
The bridge company is throwing
the bridge open to free traffic thru
out the day and evening and the
American Legion will give a public
dance at its community building in
the evening to help provide enter
tainment for the visiting crowds.
Casco Milk to be Used
State papers are beginning to give
publicity to the opening and during
the coming week the name of Platts
mouth will be read by more people
than any other town in the middle
west. The combined circulation of
the sixty daily and weekly newspap
ers in Iowa and Nebraska to which
news stories and photos of the bridge
have been sent totals well over one
million readers.
Among the features drawing pub
licity from the alert publishers is
the plan of President Wescott to have
the bridge christened with "milk"
Casco "certified" milk from the
contented cows of farmers who are
patrons of the local creamery. Wheth
er this plan is carried out verbatim,
or the fluid of the grapes grown on
yonder hills below the bridge site is
substituted for the ceremonial, it has
been unique enough to gain the at
tention of the editors and helped to
get space advertising the new bridge
and its official opening.
Outsiders are invited to come to
Plattsmouth bridge opening day;
those who live here are urged not
only to be present themselves but to
write their friends in nearby places,
inviting them to also come and at
tend the festivities.

delightful occasion.
FORMER RESIDENT HERE
From Tliursday's Dally
Yesterday afternoon Mr. and Mrs.
Ellery Vroman and daughter, of De
troit, Michigan, were in the city for
a short time visiting with relatives
and old time friends in this locality.
Mr. Vroman has been away from this
city the greater part of the time for
the past twelve years, having been
located at Omaha before going to
Detroit. Mr. Vroman has been en
gaged in the practice of law for the
past few years and is en route to
California where he expects to locate.
While here he had the opportunity
of meeting a number of the old
friends altho the many new people
here and those who have reached
manhood and womanhood since his
leaving has made him somewhat of
"a stranger in a strange land."
Forger Works
Checks on Sev
eral Merchants
Small Checks Are Cashed at Several
Store Before the Valnless
Paper Revealed
From Thursdays rarty
This city was visited yesterday by
a forger who while apparently not
an expert was able to get away with
a considerable number of checks
whose value is estimated at from
$30 to ?40 unless other of the kited
paper should make its appearance
later.
The young man visited several of
the stores and according to the po
lice he used the name "Carl Maize"
as the person in .whose favor the
checks were drawn.
The first person to discover the
bad paper was George Conis of the
Palace Shining parlor where the
young man called shortly after the
noon hour and purchased a box of
candy and some cigarettes, tender
ing a check of the Farmers State
bank made out in the sum of $6 and
which was signed by the name of
Martin Nelson, a well known resi
dent of near this city. The young
man was given the change and left
the shining parlor and Mr. Conis
having occasion to go to the bank
later took the check with him and
on presentation it was pronounced
to be a very rank piece of forgery.
The check had been marked "for la
bor" and which had a great deal to
do with disarming suspicion in the
minds of the clerks in the stores
where the checks were cashed. Places
visited by the forger include the
H. M. Soennichsen Co., and Bestor
and Swatek.
Mr. Conis states that the young
man was light complected, five feet
six or seven inches in height and
wore a dark colored topcoat or heavy
raincoat and also wore a black hat.
The police department have sev
eral clues that may lead to the iden
tification of the man passing the
forged check and which leads to the
suspicion that the party is one who
has been residing here for some time.

'New Brooms
Ably Presented
by the Seniors
Presentation by the Members of the
Class of 1930 Very Cleverly
Given Large Audience
From Saturday' Dally
In recent jears the members of the
graduating classes of the Platts
mouth high school have selected
plays of hirh character from well
known stage successes as the class
play of the year, but none has proven
more entertaining or pleasing than
that which the class of 1930 selected
and which was presented last night
at the Parm-ele theatre.
The play was one based on the
age old struggle of the experience
of age and the optimism of youth,
the desire to supplant the old order
with the visionary idealism that
proved unequal to the task. The
story was laid around the lives of
Thomas Bates, broom manufacturer,
Thomas Bates Jr., his son and cri
tic, who was given full control of
the factory by the father to try out
his ideas as to management which
were radically different from that of
the father, but which brought with
it the experience the son bought at
the price of hard work and the real
ization that the methods of the father
was, after all, the best. In the role
of Thomas Bates, Sr.. and Thomas
Bates, Jr., Robert Livingston and
George Sayles were splendid and gave
very forceful presentations of the
main roles of the play and were sup
ported by a very able cast, chief
among the characters being "Ger
aldine Marsh," housekeeper and sec
retary of the Bates' family and who
won a permanent place in the family
circle as the wife of Thomas Jr.,
Miss Marjorie Am making a most
delightful presentation of this char
acter. The role of the daughter,
"Ethel Bates" was taken by Mis3
Marie Vallery and that of her sweet
heart "Wallie Nowell." by Chester
Lund, while Miss Jeanne Parker as
"Florence Wheeler," one time sweet
heart. otTom" . also added to the
romantic touehes of the play. The
part of "George Morrow," oil stock
salesman, who later won "Florence"
from "Tom," was taken by Gerald
Sperry, who made a most realistic
"blue sky" salesman, while ' Charles
Nowacek was seen in the role of
"Williams," the old family butler,
giving a very fine rendition of the
part and Miss Alice Taylor was
chosen as "Margaret," . the house
keeper that had stood all that she
would of the bad temper of the head
of the Bates household. The other
members of the supporting cast in
cluded Warren Farmer as "Mr.
Kneeland." the factory superinten
dent, Ira Mumm as "Rev. Phillip
Dow," the soliciting clergyman and
friend of "Tom," Fred Wehrbein as
"Simpson," the much promising deb
tor of the Bates' and Roy Turner,
who was cast as "Nelson," the labor
agitator, each of the young men giv
ing a very striking rendition of their
roles and adding much to the inter
est of the situations that developed
in the sequences of the drama.
The members of the class made
their expression of appreciation of
the aid of the public in the success
of the play through Frank Schack
neis, class president, who also pre
sented Miss Mary Jane Tidball.
teacher of dramatics in the high
school and who had the direction of
the very successful play. Miss Tid
ball deserves a great deal of praise
for her work as she has directed the
last three class plays and scored out
standing success for the school.
During the intermissions and as
the curtain raiser the orchestra com
posed of Donald Rainey. violin; Wini
fred Rainey, piano; Marvin Tritsch
and James Comstock, cornets; John
Albert. Robert Hall, Donald Cotner,
Edward Egenberger, saxophones, and
Sam Arn, drums and director, gave
a very pleasing musical contribution
to the evening entertainment.
Miss Margaret Shellenbarger, out
standing musical artist of the high
school, gave the refrain of several
of the numbers of the orchestra in
her usual artistic manner that always
makes her appearance on a program
a real treat.
The play as a whole was one of
the best the school has given and the
director and young people can feel
well pleased over the success of the
presentation.
ASKS FOR DIVORCE
From Saturday's Dully
An action was filed today in the
office of the clerk of the district court

Veteran Editor
Sends Congratu
lations on Bridge
J. A. Gardner, First President of As
sociation to Urge Bridge Across
the Missouri River Here.
From Saturday's Dally
-Hie local Chamber of Commerce
has received a letter from J. A. Gard
ner, formerly editor of the Eagle
Beacon and now publishing a paper
at Lewellen. Nebraska, in which he
sends his greetings for the bridge
opening on May 16th. Mr. Gardner is
net only running a paper in the west
part of the state but is also seeking
the republican nomination for lieu
tenant governor at the coming pri
maries. The letter follows:
"Lewellen, Nebr. May. 8.
"Mr. C. C. Wescott.
"President, C. of C.
"Plattsmouth, Nebr.
"I want to congratulate you, and
through you the Chamber of Com
merce, the progressive men of Platts
mouth and Cass county and the en
tire State of Nebraska, upon the com
pletion and dedication of ths Mis-
J. A. GARDNER
souri river bridge, a project in which
I have been permitted to play a small
part, and an achievement which we
all feel proud of.
"At this time my mind reverts
back to one severely cold night more
than four years ago, when the first
general meeting was held at Eagle
in response to a call issued by my
self. Your Chamber of Commerce had
a bridge committee and was alive to
the importance of such bridge, and
welcomed the co-operation of others
in the movement. As I remember
yourself and more than a score of en
thusiasts from Plattsmouth attended
this meeting, driving 40 miles on the
bitterest night of the year. Also Bert
George and Chas. Roper came out
from Lincoln to aid in the good work.
At this meeting the Cass County
Bridge and Highway association was
formed with myself as president, H.
E. Frantz as secretary and Senator
W. B. Banning as treasurer. There
were also delegations from Elmwood,
Weeping Water, Louisville and other
points in the county, and it was here
that the idea of a program of eight
bridges was incubated and the cam
paign opened which culminated in
this and other bridges. At the invi
tation of other towns, meetings were
held at Elmwood, Weeping Water,
Plattsmouth and Louisville, at the
latter pl?ce a delegation from Omaha
having learned of our activities, came
down.
"This meeting resulted in my call
ing a statewide meeting at Omaha,
over which I presided, and at which
time a state association was formed,
with John Hopkins as president and
Judge Begley a member of the execu
tive board. This state association
carried the bridge program before
the legislature., and while the bill
sponsored was not entirely success
ful (owing to the opposition of part
of the Douglas county delegation) a
bill was passed, a sort of 'Enabling
Act' which has in a measure been a
benefit to the enterprise. Whether
credit goes to the Chamber of Com
merce or the Cass County Bridge and
Highway association for initiating
the program, or whether the State
Bridge association is credited with
'carrying-on,' the fact is that with
out the untiring work of Henry
Schneider, Judge Begley and other
Plattsmouth boosters, the present
dedication ceremonies would not have
been possible. I rejoice with you in
the achievement, which means so
much for Plattsmouth and Cass coun
ty. Keep on carrying on with the
C. of C.
"J. A. GARDNER."

SUNSHINE ERINGS PLEASURE
From Thursday's Dally
The sunshine of today proved a
real treat to the residents of this lo
cality in every walk of life and es
pecially to those whose labors are
either on the highway work or in
the sand pits north of this city. The
road work has been tied up for the
past several days and it was impos
sible to proceed with the praving
operations on highway No. 75, north
and south of this city. The curtail
ing of the road work has also lessen
ed the output of the gravel pits but
with good weather the paving work
and graveling projects can be re
sumed and this of course, will mean
that the pits will be operating at
their full capacity in the next few
weeks unless the rain interferes.
