Los Angeles Wixh the return of
cold weather, California and Florida
are ence again confronted with the
problem of coping with the flood of
vagrants who head for the south or
v. est coast at first warning of win
ter. Although the situation is acute in
several other states also, it is in
Florida and California where th2
p.obletn is most pressing. The army
cf homeless and impoverished drifters
which was so increased by the de
pression has grown to alarming pro
portions. Nor has the recent eco
nomic upswing materially diminished
the number of these "knights of the
road."
This winter the situation threatens
to be even more acute because most
cf the federal transit camps have
impended operations and the govern
ment has closed down many of its
CC'C camps. Both Florida and Cali
fornia are alarmed over the prospect
of playing host to a crowd of vag
rants ar.d are taking steps to avoid
tuch a situation.
Border Patrol Helps
During the past two winters both
stales have established border patrols

I which meet the new arrivals on entry
'into the state. If they are "financial
1 ly embarrassed" and have no prospect
of a job they are turned back and
.refused entry into the state.
It is estimated that more than
I 20.000 vagrants were barred from
j Florida during the past two seasons
and a similar number kept out of
j California. Gov. David Scholtz has
taken the matter in hands in Florida,
I while police of Los Angeles and other
J California cities have co-operated in
J making the vagrants keep on the
j move.
j Despite this policy of vigilance at
j the slate line, there are inevitably
imar.y who evade the border patrol.
, Local authorities usually catch up
i with them, however, and send them
J racking.
There is a bad angle to this method
! of eliminating undesirables because
jof the impression it leaves on visitors
j when they are subjected to a cross
: examination about their plans and
I purte.
I Cine of the serious angles to the
situation is the direct relation be
tween the number of vagrants and
the number of crimes. Since the two
states established their border pa
trols, the amount of criminal viola
tion has been considerably reduced.

Platter Stars
Shine in Tarkio
Football Team
Kenneth Armstrong Rated as One of
Eest in Conference of Which
Tarkio is a Member.
The three Plattsmouth represen
tatives on the Tarkio college foot-i
ball team, played prominent parts in
Tarkio's thrilling 21-20 defeat of
Mirsouri Valley college at Marshall,
Mo., last Friday. Kenneth Armstrong
booted three kicks from placement
following the Owl's three touch
downs for the three exact points and
one of these proved to be the margin
of victory. Armstrong is the biggest
tackle in the Missouri conference and
seems to have found himself in the
last four games. Opposing teams
have found him to be a power-house
on both defense and offense as he
blasts his way through like a young
tornado. Missouri spcrts writers have
already indicated that he will win a
place on the all-conference team.
Weighing 235 pounds, Armstrong has
enough power to stop anything that
comes his way. With two more years
of competition left, he gives promise
of being one of the greatest linemen
in Missouri college competition.
Stuart Porter, another Plattsmouth
husky, has been moved from tackle
into guard and played a whale of a
game against tae lkings last week.
Weighing 205 pounds, Porter has also
been assigned to back up the line on
the right side and is doing a fine job.
Because of his size and aggressive
ness he also has prospects of being
one of the coming linesmen in the;
Missouri conference.
Geo. Adam, watch-charm guard,
weighs only 145 pounds and has to
compete with men of the size of Por
ter for the guard position but he has
been playing in every game. What he
lacks in weight, Adam makes up in
aggressiveness and speed.
Tarkio's victory over Missouri Val
ley sent the Owls into second place in
the conference standing. Tarkio is
the only Missourf conference team
to defeat Valley in the lat two sea
sons. Tarkio will close the 1936 sched
ule with two Nebraska teams, meet
ing Hastings at Tarkio Friday after
noon ar.d Peru Thanksgiving day.
Hastings is defending champion in
Nebraska and has a powerful team.
Tarkio lost to the Bronchos 18-14
in the last three minutes of play at
Hastings last Thanksgiving day.

REMOVING OLD LANDIvIARK
The tearing down of the wood and
tin veneer building at Seventh and
Main streets, is removing one of the
old landmarks in tlie main part of
the city and which has stood for
more than a half century.
In its day the Duilding was one of
the hot spots of this section of the
state, old residents claim. The build
ing was erected in the early eighties,
the late Frank Carruth being the
builder of the structure which had
as its first purpose a roller skating
rink. At that time the roller skating
fad was sweeping the country and
Plattsmouth had one of the largest
and best rinks in the wett.
In a few jears the roller rink had
passed and the building was then
used for a three year period as a can
ning factory, this being along in
1SS7 and 1SS9, the plant being oper
ated by Mr. Carruth and Henry J.
Streight with Frank Coursey as the
manager.
With the change of the canning
factory to a plant on South Third
street, the building became a livery
stable and for many years it was used
to house old dobbin and where the
swains of the community might rent
a horse and buggy to take their gals
for a ride, rather than the modern
method of talking father out of the
car ke3's.
