period was by the Platters paced by
Wooster, who led the scoring with

Civic Body is
Advised of Game
Preserve Plan
Representatives of Federal Park and
Wild Life Preservation Heard
at Meeting Thursday.
Members of the Chamber of Com
merce directorate heard plans for
the game preserve and bird sanctuary
being made at the government rifle
range north of this city, when Harry
Hart, government wild life tech
nician, Kenneth Jone3, inspector for
the national park service in Nebras
ka, and R. S. Young, project super
intendent, addressed the organization
Thursday noon.
Hart spoke at come length, ex
plaining the steps to be taken when
weather permitted and telling what
was expected of the preserve. His
remarks were supplemented by Jones
and Young.
According to Hart, the bird sanc
tuary will not be available for public
use, duo to an agreement with the
army from which the land used, was
obtained. Exclusion of the general
pubic is simply a safety measure,
Hart said.
Answering a question as to whether
students of bird life would Lo permit
ted entrance, he said that ho doubted
if the army would relax the ruling.
Agents of the state game commission
will be permitted entrance he said,
and would disseminate information
; gained to the general public.
Hart said it was hoped thr.t such
'an excess of bird lit'o would bo raised
j within the sanctuary that it would
(infiltrate into the surrounding area,
and he suggested that local citizens
or organizations should try to acquire
surrounding territory tor conversion
into public parks! -
The guest speakers were introduced
by A. L. Tidd, who has long been in
terested in this type of work.
L. S. Devoe. entertainment chair
man, announced that Governor R. L.
Cochran would speak at a banquet to
be sponsored by the chamber of com
merce, his subject to concern river
! improvement work. The date of the
banquet has not been definitely set,

city meeting of Rotary club3 to be
held in Plattsmouth March 9.

River Improvement association, but

lating of water rates, was laid on
the table for a month, by motion.
Guests introduced included Joe
