C. of C. Meeting
Chamber of Commerce Urees Support
of Burlington Report on Oc
cupation Tax Ordinance
From Thursday's Dally
Talks by Vm Baird and Emil
Wurl were eard today by thirty
three members of the local Cham
ber of Commerce on matters of vital
interest to the citizens of this com
munity. Mr. Baird spoke to the group
as a citizen and member of the Cham
ber of Commerce relative to the re
lation between the Burlington shops
and the people of this community
He called attention to the fact that
heavy inroads have been made into
the earning capacity of the railroad
companies over the country and that
a curtailment of expenses has been
necessary. These inroads have been
made by the bus and truck traffic
which operate on the highways and
from a standpoint of taxation rep
resent a tremendous difference from
the taxes paid by the railroad com
panies. Mr. Baird called attention to
the fact that the closing of shops
over the system for short periods
had been due to decrease in business.
He stated that he felt that the Burl
ington Company would be greatly
pleased to know that the people of
this community were doing every
thing possible to support them. At
the close of Mr. Bairds remarks, the
Chamber of Commerce voted to ap
point a committee of three to draft
a resolution urging the people of this
community to support the railroad
company by their patronage.
Mr. Wurl described the work
which has been done to date in re
gard to the occupation tax question.
He stated that the work has been
progressing rapidly and that visitors
and officials from towns in eastern
Nebraska will be here next week to
go into the matter more intensively.
Chairman Rea of the Finance
Committee reported that there were
109 members in the Chamber now
and good prospect that there would
be twenty or thirty more.

A number of Plattsmoutb men
who are engaged in working at the
Ford plant at Omaha, making the

the unpleasant experience of having
the vehicle of travel stolen from the

on North Sixteenth street
The car was owned by Robert
Painter and had been used by VN'il-
liam Gorder to supply the workers
w-ith a car while the one they for- ;
merly used was being overhauled, and
this had been the second day that
the Painter car had been used in this
way. The car was left parked as ,
usual in the street in the parking j
space as the men went to worK at
7:30 Wednesday morning and at
noon one of the men using the car
happened to visit the parking space
and found the car missing. The theft
was reported to Omaha police but
so far the car is still missing.
Mr. Gorder drove to Omaha to se
cure the workmen and made efforts to
locate the car but without success.

served the world around as a public
day of prayer. Locally there was
gathered at the Methodist church
parlors a goodly company of ladies
who well represented the different
denominations of our city.
The subject of the devotional per
iod was "Ye Shall be My Witnesses,"
and the meeting opened with silent
prayer for the service here and else
where, and a quartet sang "Trad
Softly, the Master is Here." Then
followed the call to worship and in
vocation, after which came prayer
of personal confession and consecra
tion. This part of the service closed
with a duet "Come Holy Spirit," by
Mrs. Barkus and Mrs. Troy.
Attention was then directed to
"A Witnessing Church." Scripture
readings of early churches which
sent out missionaries, and prayers
of thanksgiving for the work they
had done for us, were given. The
quartet, composed of Mesdames Pat
terson, Schutz, Schulz. and Miss Gor
der sang very impressively, "Jesus
Saves."
"Witnessing Through the Ages,"
was presented by scripture and quo
tations from "Via Christi." followed
by prayers for a crusade of right
eousness throughout all organiza
tions from church io government,
special prayer that those who are
truly interested in world peace might
be directed in all their efforts and
accomplishments by the mind of God
in this matter, was emphasized and
that youth might accept the divine
leadership of Jesus Christ in these
times when so many new doctrines
for Uving are proposed and different
policies of political government are
agitated.
The auciience was then called to
gjve their attention to a very small
task which
is being done by the
unile(j efforts of the women's mis
sionary organizations. This was a
review of the interdenominational
work done in the islands of the
Caribbean sea Porto Rico. Cuba,
and Haiti and most ably given by
Mrs. McClusky with the help of a
map which visualized for those pres
ent the actual conditions found there.
The projects for this Day of Pray
er were four. Women's Union Col-
lieges in the Orient of which there
are seven. Indian work among 30,
000 students in our government
schools. Migrant work for those al
ways on the move during canning
seasons and Christian Literature in
native tongue for women and chil
dren of foreign lands.
Prayers of dedication of ourselves
to renewed effort and giving of time,
talent, and possessions as God would
lead us, closed the devotional part of
the service. All joined in singing
"Liead on O King Eternal" after
which the benediction was given in
unison.
LATTER DAY SAINTS WIN
From Thursday's Dally
The basketball team representing
the Letter Day Saints church of
Omaha was the opponent here last
night of the local "town" team, and
aside from the saintly qualities of
the visitors they were a good fast
team that had little trouble in
smothering the array of vanished
stars by the score of 28 to 15.
The visitors took a decided lead
from the opening tipoff and the lo
cals lagged at all stages of the game.
The local team was apparently suf
fering from lack of practice and team
work, while the visitors were clear
to be seen had been playing with
each other for some time as their
plays were more accurate.
For the locals Hubert Dew was the
best both in his shooting and the
floor work.

Gravel of High
way No-1 of Much
Benefit to County
Road West From Murray Through
Center of County Will Re Used
by Hundreds of People
The state department of public
works is planning in a very ahorl
time to start the graveling of statt
highway No. 1, the first authorized
state highway in the commonwealth.
running west from Murray to the
vicinity of Elm wood. This road was
laid out and graded a number of
years ago bur was k it unpraveled as
the state decided upon the gravel of
the "O" street road east and wst
through Cass county, while the Mur
ray road would have served hundreds
in all parts of the county.
There is no question that both
roads are needed and now that the
Red Ball or highway No. 1 is to be
graveled there is reason to feel very
much pleased all over the county as
this road touches practically all lines
of communication over the countv.
The road will connect with the
"O" street project at Elmwood and
Weeping Water, also touching the
Weeping Water-Louisville north and
south highway and then east to ar
rive at paved highway Xo. 75 north
through this city or south to Union
while from the extreme west of the
county the residents of Greenwood
can be able to reach the gravel in
the vicinity of Affcy and Murdock
and then on into this section of the
county.
The graveling of this road has
long been boosted by the Murray
business and the community as well
as the Plattsmouth Chamber of Com
merce which joined with our neigh
bors and it is pleasing to learn that
the task has proven successful.
The road is already graveled west
of Murray to the old detour a dis
tance of four miles and the new gra
vel project by the state will take the
surfacing on west to the vicinity of
Elmwood.
