Santa Claus to
Visit This City

Will Bring Large Party of Assistants
as Well as Dog Teams and
Reindeer
On account 01 the long distance
we understand that Santa Claus 5?
making a very limited number of prt
Christnias trips into this part of the
country. His recent visit to Omaha
was on account of his friendship with
Mayor Metcalfe who has known San
ta for a Ions while and in this re
spect we are also very fortunate too
because our own Mayor Sattler knew
Santa quite well in the old country
is "Kris Kringie" and he is coming
to Plattsmouth to see him as well as
all the boys and giris of this vicinity.
The date set for his coming to us
is Wednesday. Dec. 16th. and Mayor
Sattler wants every hoy and girl in
this neck of the woods to help him
give old Santa a royal welcome. The
deers are so tired out by their recent
trip to Omaha that he feels obliged
to leave all but one of them at home
to rest up and be ready for their long
jaunt on Christmas eve but he tells
us he will bring with him this tim
two teams of swift running dogs so
that he can make the trip much fas
ter. One team will be of the black
Siberian dog inured to hardship
amid snow and ice and the other team
will be Alaskan dogs such as the
Kskimos use. They will bring Santa
down here in record time and it will
be the thrill of your life to see them
dash down Main street pulling San
ta's sleigh behind them. In the other
led he is bringing along one of his
pet dters so the boys and girls can
see a real deer and pet him if they
want to.
The present arrangements are that
Santa will arrive ttre sometime in
the morning of Wednesday, Dec. 16
and he will stay till about 3 in the
afternoon so everybody will have a
good chance to see him and talk with
him. He will also put on some ex
hibitions with his dogs to entertain
the boys and girls. Watch the papers
for further announcement and plan
by all means to be on band DerlfilB.

Pay Tribute to
Retired Burling
ton Employee
Testimonials by Intimate Associates
of Sept. Baird are Given at
C. of C. Luncheon.
From Friday's uaily
Twenty-six members of the Cham
ber of Commerce board of directors
were present at yesterday's luncheon.
Upon completion of roll call, com
mittee reports were called for, and
several committee chairmen respond
ed, including William Baird, of the
New Industries committee who told
of progress being made on the latest
matter occupying the attention of
this committee.
Under Good Roads call, W. F.
Nolte, well known farmer and poul
try raiser who is a member of the
C. of C. directorate, offered a sugges
tion of further improvement of the
roads in northern Cass county, urg
ing that concerted action be taken to
pet the Plattsniouth-Louisville-Green-wood
road paved. At the conclusion
of his talk. President Schneider out
lined the road situation in Cass coun
ty, stating that the first east and west
paving out of Lincoln is slated to go
either on O street or the Syracuse-Dunbar-Ncbraska
City route, and in
his opinion, after that, unless Nebras
ka adopts a bond paving program, it
will be a good number of years be
fore additional east and west paved
routes will be available in this vicin
ity. Following the explanation of
Mr. Schneider, County Commissioner
George Farley stated that no govern
ment aid would be extended for non
federal roads and no state aid given
on ncn-state roads, also that while
the Plattsmouth-Louisville portion of
this route had recently been added to
the state system, the law provides Im
provements should be made in the
order in which roads were taken into
the state system. He also said not a
rod of the Louisville-Greenwood, or
church road, is even now In the state
system, which would mean ten years
before adequate relief would be avail
able for this road, even if the next
legislature were prevailed npon to
add it to the state system.
On the other hand. O street road is
entitled to both state and federal ap
propriations, should it be decided to
pave this route, and thus Cass county
would benefit by the securing of some
thirty miles of paving it has no pos
sible chance of getting in any other
way or over any other route for a
good number of years to come.
The suggestion of Mr. Nolte for
better farm-to-market roads in this
vicinity was. on motion of S. S. Davis,
referred to the Good Roads committee
and it is hoped tangible results will
follow along this line.
Chairman Duxbury of Civic Im
provement committee told of a plan
under consideration of obtaining suf
ficient street brooms to give work to
floaters in exchange for something to
eat and a place of shelter on the cold
wintry nights ahead. He promised to
have definite recommendations for a
solution of this problem by the date
of next meeting.
Honor "Billy" Baird
At the conclusion of committee re
ports. President Schneider turned the
conduct of the meeting over to Vice
President Davis, who stated a little
personal testimonial meeting had been
arranged as a tribute to William
Baird, who. after twenty-three years
in our midst, has decided to "locate"
in Plattsmouth. Searl called on At
torney William Robertson, who has
been more or less closely associated
with Mr. Baird in railroad work dur
ing the years since 1908 when Mr.
Baird came to Plattsmouth as shop
superintendent, instructed, Robertson
declared, to make a decision as to
whether the Burlington should con
tinue to operate its shops here or
withdraw entirely from Plattsmouth.
Not only did the Burlington remain,
but Baird cleaned up the shops, put
them in order and increased produc
tion with the result that Plattsmouth
benefited by two decades of Burling
ton payrolls that might otherwise
have been lost to the community.
Now, with economic conditions de
manding the curtailment of railroad
activities, Mr. Baird had prefered to
retire and live here in Plattsmouth,
dather than be transferred to another
point! and continue work for the rail
road. Mr. Robertson recalled numer
ous instances when Superintendent
Baird had stood between employees
and the company and saved them the
loss cf their jobs and property in
terests here.
Following the talk by Mr. Robert
son, Roy E. Bailey, president of the
Plattsmouth Roatry club, of which
Mr. Baird is a charter member, was
called upon to extend Rotary's felici
tations to Mr. Baird, and responded
in brief but to-the-point manner, re
counting the past five years he had
known Mr. Baird and the many pub
lic spirited services he had performed,
both for Rotary and for the commun
ity at large.
Mr. Baird. himself, was called up
on and spoke a few words of appre
ciation for the fine compliment paid
him, stating it was his desire to live
in Plattsmouth the rest of his life, to
die here and be buried in Oak Hill
cemetery.
The meeting adjourned a few mo
ments after the customary hour
1:30 p. m.
