C. Luncheon Thursday To urge
Highway 'Improvement
The Chamber of Commerce diree
torate at yesterday's luncheon took

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.

Mr. Hoffman responded with brief re
marks regarding 'market conditions
and their ability to pay a little more

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

in the shop yard and called attention

removal of the sidewalk from the

the canning company plans to locate

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

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.

ENJOY CHURCH MEETING
From Thursday's Daily
The first of a series of Wednesday
night meetings to be held through
March, was enjoyed by a large gath
ering last evening at the Presbyter
ian church. The purpose of these

sociability.

Synod of Nebraska. He gave the
church members a stirring address
on the different activities of the
church work, stressing the place the
missionary occupied in the welfare

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.
Mrs. Woster'a : Camp Fire girls had
chargo on February 29th. Colum
bian school gave a Lincoln and Wash
ington entertainment. Miss Farley's
room gave a Washington playlet in
ccstunie. Miss Helene Perry had
charge of the playlet entitled:
"George and Martha Return."
CLERK'S HEARING SET
