What Does Platts
mouth Need Most?
Passage and the putting into op
eration of the gigantic work relief
measure, will make available a grant
cf work relief money in every city,
village and rural area in the country
now beset with unemployment and
relief problems.
The machinery for administration
is being rapid!y put into operation.
At a meeting of the county-wide com
n.ittee held in Weeping Water today,
preliminary approval was given to a
number of "first need" projects, in
cluding the repavenient of Sixth street
in Plattsmcuth.
Reports from that meeting indicate
money will be made available for both
labor and material to construct ap
proved undertakings of merit and for
which there is need.
The Journal has heretofore pointed
out, and reiterates, that city officials
will not appropriate money or in
crease the city's bonded Indebtedness
to further work relief projects. How
ever, with the government furnishing
material and labor cost, there ARE a
greater number of much-needed and
worth-while projects that can be un
taken, than could possibly be allow
ed. The problem, then, is to settle on
those most needed for the general
benefit of the community, formulate a
prograon and urge its approval.
Some of those mentioned include
construction of an ampitheatre in the
athletic park, extension of under
ground storm sewers along the ave
nues, provision of Eewer outlet facili
ties to the Missouri river, preparation
of adequate dumping ground with a
suitable road leading thereto, con
struction of a swimming pool, etc.
All are worthy projects, and with
Sixth street paving first on the list
(being already tentatively approved)
it will be up to the public to deter
mine what other projects should be
applied for. Doubtless there are many
additional ideas. If so, they should be
presented in concrete form to the
committee that will make up the city's
formal request for allotments. Cost
must be predetermined to a degree of
accuracy that will permit of their
completion within the allocated sum.
To the end of shaping up such a
program, it is urged that citizens sub
mit their Ideas in writing, either to
the office of the secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce, E. H. Wescott,
cr to Mayor Lnshinsky.
Prompt action is essential, for the
machinery of administration is being
rapidly put Into motion at Washing
ton, and the work program will be
upon us, almost before we realize it.
In Plattsmouth precinct, the big
program i3 hard-surfacing of feeder
or "farm-to-market" roads, which is
indeed a most worthy enterprise.
Funds for the approved projects
will be made up of government and
state gasoline tax money, coupled
with proceeds of the county relief
levy, and provide work for a large
number of Cass county unemployed,
under the regulations as to hours and
wages laid down by the government
administrators.
CAED OF THANKS
We wish to thank the many friends
and neighbors for their tender kind
ness during the sickness and death
cf our loved husband and father.
Their kindnesses will be always a
very loving memory to us all. Mrs.

Fifty Years of
City Library a
Civic Festival
Community Joins in Tribute to Miss
Olive Jones, Librarian, Who Also
Has Served Half Century.
The Plattsmouth public library
which has in the last half century
grown to be one of the most im
portant civic centers in the commun
ity, the source of knowledge and en
tertainment to thousands, Thursday
was the scene of a great community
demonstration.
The members of Chapter F, P. E. O.
had arranged the splendid tribute to
the library and to Miss Olive Jones,
who unselfishly in the years has
served as the librarian and friend
and counsellor cf the patrons who
came to the library in search of the
i best that the world of books might
offer. The committee in charge was
headed by Mrs. E. H. Wescott, the
splendid attendance and the fine pro
gram attested the efforts of the mem
bers in arranging the event.
To those present at the anniver
sary cf the library and its loved and
honored librarian, who has been
familiar with the original library, it
was a far cry from the small shelf of
books that fifty years ago constituted
the Y. L. R. R. A., located in a small
room over one of the business houses,
to the fine building and several thou
sand volumes that today serve the
Plattsmouth community with read
ing matter.
The auditorium of the library was
the scene of the observance and this
had been arranged most attractively
for the occasion and the stage bright
ened by the many fine boquets that
had come as personal remembrances
to Miss Jones.
The programs were presided over
by Mrs. Wescott, committee chair
man, the afternoon section of the ob
servance being opened by a group of
the old songs by Mrs. E. G. Shellen
barger, one of the well known vocal
ists of th city.
In the afternoon Mrs. L. S. Devoe
gave two beautiful piano numbers,
Mrs. Chester Wiles several of the
well known songs and Miss Mildred
Knoflicek, talented violinist, a very
artistic violin numbr.
Superintendent L. S. Deyoe of the
city schools, spoke briefly on "Our
Strong Arm" in which he recounted
the splendid service the library has
given to the city schools in the years
past and relieved the schools of the
necessity of maintaining a reference
library for the use of the students.
In the city library the pupils of the
schools had found a source of aid to
their education that was without
price.
Mrs. L. O. Minor spoke of "What
Someone Told Me," giving a review
of the work of the library and its
faithful and devoted librarian in all
the years.
Mrs. Virgil Perry, in her short re
marks urged the support of the pres
ent Y. L. R, R. A. which has been
the means in all these years of sup
plying the library with many of their
fiction works, which after they have
been on the association shelves a
year ere placed in general circula
tion. The small membership fee has
aided greatly in the upbuilding of
the library.
Little Miss Elizabeth Perry, grand
daughter of Mrs. T. H. Pollock, one
of the group that first established
the library was presented as "The
Third Generation."
On behalf of the general commit
tee, Mrs. Elbert Wiles, past president
of the P. E. O. society presented the
handsome bronze plaque that com
memorates the 50th anniversary of
the library and the services of Miss
Jones and which will occupy a prom
inent place in the building, as well
as chairs that have been secured In
the community fund for the anniver
sary. E. II. Wescott, president of the li
brary board, on behalf of the board,
made acceptance of the gifts and
spoke eloquently of the service of the
library to the community and paid
honor to Miss Jones for her great
part in the service to the public that
had made the library so important to
the community.
A number of guests were present
to enjoy the occasion and who were
introduced by Mrs. E. H. Wescott,
among those being Mr. and Mrs. A. D.
Eigenbroadt, Mrs. Fannie Dickson
Miss May Richey and Mrs. Sam Bal
lance, of Lincoln and Miss Fay Eades
of Omaha, all former residents here.
Miss Jones was called upon and
gave a review of many Interesting
incidents that filled the busy years
of her work In the library and the
many friends that had been factors
in the library support.

cleanest, rubstantial villages in Cass
county; with less lawlessness than
in any ether town; with more home
owners, that take great pride in thu
upkeep cf the same, than in most
places, that believe in higher educa
tion, of which the consolidated high
school, with its eight teachers is a
fine testimonial. It supports a strong
church, with a flourishing Sunday
school of 140 average attendance.

population. Not many men have the
chance to see such development. He
is very proud to belong to them.
