Detailed Report
of Convention of
the N. F. W. C.
Each Day of Session of Convention
Covered in Interesting Manner
by Mrs. R. 35. Hayes.
Report of 31st annual convention
of first district Woman's club held
at Plattsmouth, April 3-4, 1934:
There was the excitement of anti
cipation, then the joy of realization
and now the reflection on accomp
lishment in the coming of this dis
trict convention to Plattsmouth.
Credentials committee reported the
general federation director for Ne
braska six state officers and chair
man, two past presidents, the four
district officers, sixteen district
chairmen, five county presidents,
twenty-two club presidents and forty
reven duly elected delegates with 157
visitors registered. A total of 265
guests whom we have entertained
and enjoyed knowing during the past
two days.
It ha3 truly been a meeting of in
spiration, education, and information
along lines of activities for which
many came to gain help and ma
terial. Since music seems to te the
best means of calling folks to order
Miss Phyllis Straub of Avoca chair
man of music, led the assembly in
pep songs from copies distributed to
all. In her report she said the ob
ject cf the department is to acquire
through study an increased knowl
edge of American composers and
their compositions and obtain more
fruitful use of leisure time through
music. Music week is May 6-12 to
be observed with fitting programs.
Musical numbers were solos by Mrs.
E. II. Weseott, Plattsmouth, 'The
Happy Song," by Del Diega; whist
ling solo by Mrs. Chester Stone of
Xehawka; Plattsmouth Woman's
club presented through Mrs. Figley,
local chairman; Miss Mildred Kno
flicek in violin solo accompanied by
her sister, Beatrice, at the piano.
Mildred ranked superior in the M-I-N-K
contest this spring. Also Dwight
Harmon of Weeping Water gave two
cornet solos, accompanied by his
mother at the piano. Dwight r.lao
ranked superior at the M-I-N-K con
test. For the banquet hour the
riattsmouth male quartet composed
of Messrs. Cloidt, Cook, McClu.oky
and Knorr, entertained with three
delightful number;, "Bells of St.
Mary's, ' Out of the Dusk to You"
and "Land of the Sky Blue Water."
The Pawnee Coterie club gave a
musical comedy "The Quest of the
Gypsy," in very colorful costume and
with solos and chorus numbers that
carried one out into the wildwood
life of the gypsy and also carried a
touch of the modern girls' way with
man, the unsuspecting creature.
Louisville supplied a delightful solo
number, but names slipped us, and
Elmwood sent a little lady in Ger
man costume to sing Brahm's Lullaby
and Tannenbaum which added an
other variety and if not understood
by all was duly appreciated.
Nebaska City supplied a bit of
entertainment with their musical
comedy "The Visit of Rev. Brown,-'
who was preceded by an unexpected
book salesman, thereby creating a
humorous situation.
A sextette from one of the Lincoln
clubs gave several delightful num
bers and had with them a soloist who
sang three numbers suitable to the
springtime and love of flowers. We
are sorry they came and left so
quickly that we didn't get more in
formation about them. A fitting close
to mu-ic of convention was given by
Mr. and Mrs. Jack Figley of Platts
mouth. They gave the duet "I Never
Knew," which was enjoyed by the
audience. Mrs. Reed, local president,
accompanied them at the piano.
Of course clubs are always inter
ested in the messages brought from
higher officers and tho Mrs. Nuquist,
federation director for Nebraska re
gretted that her talk had to be all
business, the members were glad to
hear her explanation of the Endow
ment Fund which was stressed by
Mrs. Minnier in 1929, but had got
ten lost in the days of depression.
But it must come up and be settled
if it takes fifty years, that the gen
eral federation may have mear.3 to
continue their good work. Officers
have raid from $10 to $25 from own
purses each year to keep tho work
moving. The request was $3 per cap
ita for three years half to national
and half to state. Nebraska has
stood second to Massachusetts until
this year in keeping up payment.
The principal i3 wisely invested.
Nothing has been lost during these
hard times and only interest is used.
Now the project is afoot to make a
birthday gift to Mrs. Pools, general
federation director at the general
fsderation council at Hot Sprir.g3,
May 2126, to bring our gift to the
fund and bring us back to second
place if possible.
There is also tho publication of
the General Federation Club Woman
which must be taken care of with
payment of $1 along with sending of
dues which pays for free copies sent
each club. The amount received thru
clubs does not half care for the ex
pense of furnishing each club with
this valuable information.
Then she spoke of the trip 33
women took with Mrs. Poole as guide
on tour to visit every club in for
eign lands. It was not hand picked
group but anyone who could afford
to go on a voyage of goodwill and
the countries visited appreciated it
as such. Next year a trip is planned
to the Orient, thous binding women
around the world in o-.e common
ideal of home and its possibilities.
State President Mrs. Scott found it
difficult in so short a time to explain
to any extent the different objections
of the year's plan of work. The club
theme is "Lifting Standards for This
Nebraska."
Slogan, "Nebraska women united
to achieve goals common to all." Ma
jor projects, Public welfare, Junior
Federation, County Federation, Edu
cation American Homes, Home Fi
nancing, World Peace. Space does
not allow for details in these projects
or for figures, but we are requested
to study civic questions, both na
tional and local, such as child labor
amendment, CopelandfTugwcll bill,
world peace, education in regard to
use of alcohol, American schools
problem from limited finances and
any subject that comes before nation
al government that reaches the home
and its welfare.
The state parliamentarian review
ed the necessity of peaceful assembly
and how it was one of the three prin
ciples gained at Runnymude, along
with habeas corpus and right of trial
by jury. She gave three things neces
sary for each asembly a presiding
officer, a secretary, and a set ot
rules, and be sure the set of rules
were present no matter how inferior
they might be. Have a good text
book for class work and a reference
book such as Roberts Ruler, Revised
or Jefferson's Manual which was
written for his own use and out of
which came this order of business.
The state chairman of Junior clubs
reported 26 clubs in the state and
seven of them in the first district.
Mrs. Ingersol, the district chairman,
from Tecumseh, gave very fine dem
onstration of how to form a Junior
Club and what tiiey do by using the
girls who were delegates. They pre
sented in this way the objectives and
why and why federate with other
club and even gave the audience a
treat with a whistling solo by one
number and a reading, "Gettin Chil
dren off to School on Monday, Wash
day," by another.
The chairman of art, Mrs. Quante
cf Brock, illustrated her objective by
a little story cf ten men passing a
beautiful woodland scene. Only one
saw it and put it on canvass for the
other nine to buy. At the evening
program she presented the state
chairman cf art, who gave a chalk
talk on flowers with appropriate
stories and said if she had helped one
person to better enjoy her garden it
was well worth the time. Attention
was called to art program now being
lven over a coast to coast networn
at 7 o'clock each Saturday evsning.
They r.re well worth listening in on.
The contest on life insurance was
reported by Mrs. Johnson. No speak
er arived but essays had been sub
mitted. Mrs. Frank William of Arbor
Lodge received first prize of 3 and
Emma A. Raywalt of Avoca the sec
ond $2. Dora Jackson of Tecumseh,
received honorable mention. The
prize essay was read.
Three outstanding address were
the book review of Tuesday after
noon by Rev. Frank G. Smith of the
First Congregational church, Omaha
in which he first gave us a talk on
bock appreciation and said better
read a few good books than many
best sellers. Once reading a book is
not sufficient. It needs to be re-read
to appreciate the beautiful passages
and get the philosophy of the author
hidden in the story. Of course the
story is illustrating and so he gave
that of "Little Man What Next,"
applying it to present day conditions
and leaving us as well as the book
i in most trying condition.
Dr. W. II. Morton of the teachers
college of the University cf Nebraska
gave us the three steps in education
and around them were many items
and illustrations of interest. There
Is first education just to earn a liv
ing, ceeond to know how things are
done mechanically and third to feel
appreciation or a soul satisfaction
such as we get from knowledge of art
and music. He was so in earnesf
about these three steps that he said
if it were to choose between a lesson
in mathematics and one in music he
would choose the latter because of
necessity we must lsam the first. But
we must bring all with this third

The closing address of the even
ing was given by Mrs. John R.
Hughes on her attendance at the
Congress of Woman at the Century of
Progress and only she can give the
full import of such a meeting. The
very choice women of every country
had come together to talk of how
they might help each other and just
to meet and know these people gave
a better understaing of world condi
tions tLan all the reading we might
do.

relatives in Weeping Water on Eas
ter Sunday, where he was enjoying
a very fine visit.
Mr. and Mrs. A. N. Wright were
guests on Easter day at the home of
their son, Louis Wright and family,
all enjoying a very fine visit.
Elmer Coleman, of Ashland, was a
visitor in Greenwood on Monday of
last week, coming to look after some
business matters and remaining for a
visit with relatives here.
E. O. Miller, of Ashland, was a
visitor in Greenwood on last Wed
nesday, coming to look after some
business matters and as well to visit
with his many friends here.
Miss Catherine Coleman, postmis
tress, and Mrs. E. A. Landoh were in
Lincoln last Thursday, where they
were visiting with relatives and
friends as well as looking after some
shopping while there.
Operator Hueston, of Malmo, was
in Greenwood to relieve Agent Holt
during the time he was called to
llanibal, Mo., where he was attend
ing the funeral of his brother-in-law,
who passed away early last Wednes
day. Mrs. Delia Thomas, of Red Oak,
Iowa. Mrs. W. P. Sanborn and Mrs.
J. W. Vick, of Omaha, all sisters of
Mrs. P. A. Sanborn, together with
Mrs. Louis Storz, of Omaha, were
guests from Friday until Monday at
the P. A. Sanborn home.
The meeting of the Greenwood
Woman's club, which was to have
been held last Thursday, was post
poned on account of the death of a
near relative of Mr3 . Niles Cole
man in the west, the remains having
been brought here for burial. The
date when the meeting will be held
will be announced later.
Many C. C. C. Applicants
G. W. licit, L. C. Marvin and
Clyde Newkirk all drove to Platts
mouth recently to take youths from
this vicinity there to register for ad
mission into the Civilian Conserva
tion Corps, taking the place of those
who have served a year and are now
being returned home. The C. C. C.
will function again this year on an
even larger scale than last year, and
provide employment for many young
men with dependents. The total so
far alloted to this county is only 15,
.10 it has been necessary to limit the
number that any community could
send.
Surprised on 10th Eirthday
Mary Rita Mockenhaupt, of Man
ley, was very pleasantly surprised on
her tenth birthday. She received a
.'jreat many beautiful gifts. About

will be able to give employment to
an even greater number of men. At
present there is a bridge crew work
ing between Greenwood and Lincoln

out surfacing, while a welding crew
is to come on later. All this provides
work for a considerable force of men,
and helps to check the depression
and general unemployment that has
existed for several years.

farmer in this vicinity, but who has
been making his home in the west,

RAILS EXTEND LOWER RATE
Chicago. Two cents a mile trans
portation for passengers on western
railroad lines will be continued for
another four months, H. G. Taylor,
chairman of the Western Association
of Railway Executives, made the an
nouncement after a meeting here.
The extension carries the rate into
effect until Sept. 30. It was inaug
urated last December by all the west
ern lines. Eastern and southern
roads have refused to lower rates.
Taylor said statistics indicated
that the reduced fares have met with
a favorable response from the pub
lic and, tho revenue returns have
not been as great as hoped for, never
theless the executives felt that an
extension of the experiment is war
ranted. END TO PRICE CUTTING

oil industry was agreed upon by
leaders of the petroleum industry

Morgenthau is
Pleased with the
New Bond Issue
Treasury Secretary Says New Billion
Dollar Government Paper Is
Going Over Well.
Washington. Secretary Morgtn
thau find3 the treasury's new billion
dollar bond issue going over "very
well" on the basis of first day re
ports. New cash is not being sought.
The only subscription the treasury
will accept are two issues of out
standing securities a billion in call
ed fourth Liberty bond3 and $244,
234,600 in notes.
"We will give a reasonable time
for owners of these obligations to
exchange them," Morgenthau replied
when asked how long subscriptions
would remain open. Last October the
treasury called for payment on April
15 $1,875,000,000 in Zi percent
fourth Liberty bonds which other
wise would run until 1938. On an
exchange offering at that time, the
government received 872 millions of
the called bonds in exchange for a
new bond issue paying 4U the first
year and 3 '4 thereafter. After the
first year, this would mean a saving
on the public debt interest charges
of more than 8 millions.
For the remainder of the called
bonds, the treasury onw is offering
another 10 to 12 year bond issue, but
I this time the interest rate starts and
continues at 3U percent. A 100 per
cent exchange would mean a saving
cf 10 million dollars a year.,
Morgenthau said the treasury has
ample cash on hand to retire matur
ing securities which were not ex
changed for the new bond issue. Tho
present cash balance, excluding $2,
810,000,000 of profits on dollar de
valuation, is nearly 2 billions. Mor
genthau urged members of fourth
Liberty bonds toexamine their cer
tificates and determinew hether they
may take advantage of the exchange
