Mynard Com
munity Club Has
Annual Election
E. H. Spangler Is Selected as the
President of the Organization;
Plan Active Tear.
The Mynard Community club en
Joyed an interesting meeting, on Fri
day evening, November 27, at their
annual business meeting which is
for members of the club and their
families. The meeting was opened
in the usual manner with the singing
of several songs, with Miss Janet
Vallery leading and Mrs. C. C. Barn
ard, at the piano. Reports of the
various committees were read, and
plans for the coming year were dis
cussed, among which, a membership
drive was voted on and two captains
were appointed Sherman Cole for
the West side and C. L,. Wiles for
the East side. Steps were taken, also,
to investigate and fix the heating
facilities of the hall, and a commit
tee of three members of the club
were appointed to work in conjunc
tion with a committee from the
church to attend to this matter at
once.
The retiring president, C. C. Spang
ler, was given a hearty ovation, from
the club as a note of appreciation
for his services to the club, during
the past year.
The following officers were elect
ed for the coming year:
President Ed. Spangler.
Vice-President Lawrence Leon
ard.
Secretary Mrs. Sherman Cole.
Treasurer John Vallery.
The following committees were
appointed:
Program East Side: Miss Helene
Perry, Mrs. Roy O. Cole. Richard
Spangler; West 3ide: Will Nolte.
Guy Kiser, Grace Livingston.
Fellowship C. L. Wiles and Sher
man Cole.
Betterment Rev. McKelvey, Jul
ius Pitz.
House C. C. Barnard, C. C.
Spangler.
Refreshment Mrs. A. W. Leonard,
Mrs. C. L. Wiles.
Song Leader Richard Livingston.
Pianist Mrs. Roy O. Cole.
Reporter Mrs. C. C. Barnard.
At the close of the business session
a sumptuous oyster supper was served
to the members by Mrs. John Vallery
and Mrs. Sherman Cole of the re
freshment committee.
This marked the close of another
pleasant year of this splendid organ
ization. It is hoped that the club
will continue to grow and be so en
larged that they may avail them
selves of a larger field, in which to
select talent for the many entertain
ments that they expect to put out,.
The same standard of entertain
ment will be followed the coming
year, a type of amusement that is
wholesome, and. also educational,
for the benefit of both old and young.
A membership drive is on, and a
nominal charge for dues is all that is
required to become a member of this
community organization.
A RECORD TO BE PD0UD OF
In normal times the United States
has the highest standards of living
in the world. And the same is true
of depressed times. Temporary con
ditions may causa unemployment
and some decrease in wages but it
will be, found that these effects are
felt to a lesser degree here than else
where. It is impossible to escape the fact
that this is largely attributable to
the greater avilability of mechanical
power per worker in this nation than
abroad. In 1930 the United States
produced about 41 per cent of the
electrical power of the world. The
kilowatt-hour production was almost
four times that of Germany, the
second ranking country, and more
than ten times the production of
either Great Britain or France. In
those countries, it is well to point
out, government has been an inpor-
tant factor in electrical development,
in contrast to this nation where
power has been developed through
private enterprise.
The United States likewise enjoys
an exceptionally low rate for its
power. The cost of electricity to the
average manufacturer is less than
2.5 per cent of the total value of his
products whereas 30 cents out of
each dollar of corporate profits, on
the average, go to meet the cost of
government. Today one person out
of ten is employed by government
and in less than 40 years taxes have
increased 13 times as rapidly as
population, three times as fast as na
tional wealth, and almost twice as
fast as our increase in national in
come. During this period the cost
of power has been constantly drop-
Ping.
The American electric industry.
privately financed and operated, and
regulated In the public interest by
the states, has made a record to be
proud of.
CHAIN STORE TAX UPHELD
Washington For the third time
in the year chain stores received bad
news from the supreme court, this
time in a decision upholding the Vir
ginia tax on warehouses which dis
tribute to more than one store. Law
yers for the great Atlantic and Pacific
company argued their case was dif
ferent from those decided by the
court in approving Indiana and
North Carolina chain store .tax-es.
The court did not think so, however.

Not to Make Race
for State Senate
Senator From Cass-Otoe District An
nounces That He Will Not
Seek Re-Election
William II. Pitzer, stale senator
from the second district, composed of
Cass and Otce counties, at Nebraska
City, Tuesday, announced tint ho
would not be a candidate for re
election at the coming primaries in
April. Mr. Pitzer. who wiis elected
in 1930 as a republican, in his state
ment as to his position, states that he
has business interests that demand
his attention, which lie cannot afford
to sacrifice for a longer time in serv
ice in the legislature..
Former Senator W. B. Banning, of
Union, who was representative of the
second district for several terms, is
being groomed by his friends in both
Cass and Otoe county, as the demo
cratic candidate for the senutorship.
the movement gaining a great deal
of strength in all parts ot the dis
trict. Senator Banning had a long
and distinguished service in the sen
ate and was in several of the ses
sions the leader of the democratic
members in that body and was re
garded by both republicans and dem
ocrats as one of the strong leaders in
the senate. It is expected that peti
tions will b; circulated over the dis
trict for the placing of the name of
Mr. Banning on the ballot at the
primary election.
Mr. Banning has not stated his
position in regard to the acceptance
of the nomination, but the friends
over the district are hopeful that he
may yield to the demand and accept
the petitions if filed.

Charles Joyce,
Weeping Water,
Dies in Wreck
Autcmcbile Driven by Joyce Crashed
Against Side of "S" Bridge
and Is Overturned.
Charles Joyce, 27, Weeping Wa
ter truck line operator, is dead, Irv
ing Nelson of that place, critically
injured and four other Weeping Wa
ter ycung men injured, as the re
sult of an auto accident a few miles
north of Weeping Water Saturday
night.
, The accident occurred at the bridge
north of Weeping Water, the bridge
sitting at ah angle to the road and
which makes it necessary to exer
cise care in approaching the bridge.
Mr. Joyce with five companions, had
left Weeping Water with the inten
tion of driving to Omaha, leaving
their home town between 9 and 10
o'clock. When the car approached
the bridge at a high rate of speed,
the auto struck the iron railing of
the bridge and was overturned.
Mr. Joyce was crushed in the car
and killed instantly as he was pin
ned with wreckage, the force of the
impact driving the wheel of the car
into the unfortunate driver, a piece
of iron on the bridge also struck him
in the forehead causing death.
Irving Nelson, who was with Mr.
Joyce in the front seat of the car,
suffered a fractured jaw, punctured
skull and had one ear almost torn
off. He was taken to the Clarkson
hospital at Omaha where his condi
tion is still very critical.
The other members of the party
suffered s-cvere bruises but no dan
gerous injuries. They were Warren
Harmer. Milton Prall, Jr., John
Welsh and Eugene Simmons, all of
Weeping Water.
The wrecked auto party was dis
covered by Frank E. Wood, when he
was returning home some time after
the accident and assistance was se
cured at once for the injured mem
bers of the party, the rescue party
also removing Mr. Joyce from the
wreckage of the car.
County Attorney W. G. Kieck and
Deputy Sheriff Ilex Young were later
called to the scene of the accident,
but as the cause of the death was of
an accidental nature there was no
inquest held by the officers.
Mr. Joyce is survived by a wife
and fourteen months old daughter,
as well as the mother and one bro
ther and sister. The family is well
known over Cass county and the
family have the deep sympathy of
the friends in the tragedy.
Sue Louisville
Truck Driver for
Large Damages
Action Filed in District Court at Om
aha by Charles Mertz, Member
of Wrecked Anto Party
Action was filed Monday in the
district court at Omaha by Charles
Mertz, a member of the auto party
that was wrecked on Sunday, Novem
ber 22nd. when the car in which the
Golden Pragie orchestra was riding
collided with a truck driven by El
mer Johnson, of Louisville.
Mr. Mertz, who was injured in
the accident in which one of the
orchestra members was killed, asks
damages in the sum of $23,000, from
Mr. Johnson and the owners of the
truck.
The collision occurred eight miles
west of Omaha, the location being on
a very long and steep hill, the truck
going west from Omaha, loaded with
the Sunday papers for distribution
in the several towns between Om
aha and Louisville, while the auto
was coming east from Lincoln where
the orchestra had played on Satur
day night. As the truck came to the
top of the hill one car appeared and
suddenly the second car containing
the orchestra came into view and
passing the first car, as Mr. Johnson
related, the car and the truck collid
ing headon, the truck forced from
the paving by the force of the im
pack and the auto pushed some dis
tance from the scene of the accident.
In the coroner's inquest held at
Omaha, Mr. Johnson was exonerated
of any fault in the collision which
was termed by the jury as an un
avoidable accident.
T0WL PUT OUT OF PICTURE
Omaha Police Commissioner
Towl's plan to be personally present
or to have a personal representative
present when police destroy seized
liquor in the future, was given a set
hack Tuesday when George Holmes,
presiding judge of municipal court,
informed police heads that hereafter
liquor would be destroyed only oh
the authority of a municipal judge
and only when the judge was pres
ent. Towl had ordered police to in
struct him when liquor was to be
destroyed so that the commissioner
or his representative could be pres
ent. The order of Judge Holmes was
taken by police officials to take pre
cedence of Towl's order, and if the
commissioner or his representative
was not present when the court or
dered liquor destroyed, police offi
cials didn't see what they could do
about it except to destroy the liquor
without waiting for Towl.
