Luncheon Thursday To urge Highway 'Improvement The Chamber of Commerce diree torate at yesterday's luncheon took k u..u,r.B t Mu...,, mv..e mem uie endorsement oi ine uovern - ment's "Baby Bond" campaign aimed to bring forth hoarded money and get it back into the channels of trade and Industry, where it will have a part In wiping out uia Man repression, wno has hovered over us for the past many monins. The purpose of 'the campaign is not to sell bonds to those having their money at work in private business en terprise or through the medium of banks or building and loan associa tions, but rather to those who have let fear overcome their ordinary good judgment and removed their money from banks and industrial channels to run the risk of losing it in tomato cans, socks or what not. Estimates of the amount of money thus tied up over the nation run into a startling figure and it is to' minimize this ten dency that- the government Is an nouncing the "Baby Bond" campaign in which bonds of moderately small denomination will 'be offered to In vestors who would otherwise hoarde their money. The Chamber of Commerce gave the proposition enthusiastic endorsement and when the bond campaign gets un der way, will aid it further by pub lishing an advertisement setting out the important facts such as the time the bonds run, the interest rate and the opportunity to turn them into ready cash quickly should necessity arise, at par value. Urge Road Improvement 'Another matter taken np was the oiled road running from the end of the pavement to the Platte river bridge. This stretch of highway Is acknowledged, as the worse anywhere in the state and requires slow and careful driving to avoid damage to the cars of those who pass over it. The opinion was that instead of attempting to "patch" the broken- down sections, as the highway depart ment had once indicated it would do. the best thing- to dp would be to break up the "hard spots" and make the road once more just a graveled road. as it was. much better that way than since, the oil treatment. The matter was referred to the Good Roads com mittee-with instructions to ask the highway department to take early ac tion to get the road back in shape for safe travel. . - j Another matter referred to the Good Roads committee was that of paving Sixth street with state aid, as provided by a recent act of the Ne braska legislature. Butter Makers Present Wm. Baird, of the Industries com mittee Introduced the two local but termakers. who were guests of the club at this meeting as a part of the Get-Acquainted with Home Indus. tries" plan. Both ' Mr. Hetrlck and Mr. Hoffman responded with brief re marks regarding 'market conditions and their ability to pay a little more for their; cream when the butter is sold near at home, than where they have to ship to eastern wholesalers and ' gamble on a market nearly two weeks In advance of date of purchase of the butterfat. - Samples of their product were distributed to each of the thirty directors present at the meeting. ' ' Street Improvement Urged Mr. Baird also advised the members of progress being made ' in locating the canning factory in their buildings in the shop yard and called attention to some grading and street improve ment work that would be up to either the Chamber of Commerce or the city filed acqinst three Cass county resi dents in: last few WHY TAKE A Fcr-C: . - . :i. - A. council to arrange for. This includes removal of the sidewalk from the east to the west side of Lincoln ave nue for a distance of one block, where the canning company plans to locate its scales and dump. The president named a special committee to confer with the canning company officials wnen thy are in town Monday and to have the ground looked over by the city authorities as well, with a view to getting the work done in whole or in part by the city. Postmaster J. W. Holmes reported on the train chanees effective Sun- day and nointed out that although 1 Borvo,i w;. fewer trains than ever before, mail connections into and out of Plattsmouth will be better than at any time in recent years, since the rail retrenchment program was first begrun. Th5s is due to tne 8tar route service betwppn attamnnih anA Oreapolis and between Plattsmouth and Pacific Junction each afternoon. Mr. Holmes also stated the nostal authorities have given permission for the carrying of passengers by the mail messenger, thereby Increasing the ability of rail travelers to get in- to or out of Plattsmouth. There being no further business, a motion to adjourn prevailed at 1:25 five minutes ahead of scheduled time. Louis F.

The report of the librarian of the Public Library for the month of Jan uary, 1932, shows 36 registrations, 18 of which are of new borrowers. The total number of books exchanged was 4319. Of these, 1902 were adult fction and non-fiction. The largest daily circulation was 295. It may be of interest to note how much the library is being used by adult patrons. The librarians kept a record, during the month of Feb ruary of the number of adults who came to the library to exchange books and to use reference facilities. The highest number, February 13, on Saturday, was 82. But on February 8, a Monday, there were 72 adults who used the library. On February 15, 3C adults came in and 20 used reference facilities. On other days the following numbers were noted: 65, 50. 33, 57, 52, 73. On doing a little figuring it was found that an average cf 46 4-5 adults used the library every day in the month of February. This should certainly be convincing evidence that school chil dren are not the only ones who are benefiting by the library facilities furnished by the city of Plattsmouth. The most called for books are: "White Bird Flying." "Shadows on the Rock," and "The Magnificent Obsession ," all by Nebraska authors. Fifty bcoks in foreign languages have been received from the state university to be used for a time by patrons of our library. There are 44 in German and 16 in Bohemian. The Y. L. R. R. A. new books are now ready for circulation. The ftory hour Reason is proving most successful and the library audi torium is filled to capacity each time.
