the Age of Ice and Water
Dow Armstrong, instructor of his
tory and geography in the Platts
mouth junior high school, talked on
"Nebraska" following the luncheon
of the Plattsmouth Rotary club

theories of Nebraska through the age
of water, ice, and wind then told of
the early exploration of the state by
Coronado in 1540 and by later ex
plorers. Mr. Armstrong Btated that Nebras
ka's manufacturing ranks higher
than her agriculture in returns to
the state. Ke mentioned the cream
eries in Omaha as the two largest in
the world and that Columbus has the
largest wooden shoe manufacturing
plant in the world. Other outstand
ing industries were mentioned.
Norris Hennings and Robert Kiser,
high school guests for the month of
April, gave their farewell addresses.
Miss Ruth Westover of the junior
high school presented a piano solo
which found enthusiastic reception
among the Rotarians.
L. S. Devoe had charge of the
program. Kenneth Woods was a
guest. A number of the Rotarians
were attending the convention in
Fremont so were not at the luncheon.

idea of having a Parents' Day when
all the parents could visit their chil

see the campus and buildings. The
first meeting proved to be so great a
success that the Parents' Day has be
come an annual affair.
The parents enjoy looking over the
campus and the different buildings ed the program
and becoming acquainted with the .were:
things so closely associated with "Alas for Dolly"

In spite of everything, it paid him to take ads seriously, you
see, else he might never have tried Oil-Plating. First of all
be was impressed by the explanation of Oil-Plating.
Simple enough, if youH think what happens as
Johnny's dirty little hands touch the wallpaper. Any
thing greasy or oily on his hands becomes quite a per
manent part of the paper. You'll say permanent!
In much the same way forgetting technicalities
"Conoco Germ Processed oil forms a lasting attach
ment for every working part of your engine. A gen
uine, enduring Oil-Plating is brought about by the
Germ Process patented.
Thus the Germ Process not only multiplies the
strength of the usual flowing type of oil-film, but
creates Oil-Plating besides. And once Oil-Plating
goes on, Conoco Germ Processed oil does not let it
come off in minutes, hours, days ... or miles.
Thus Oil-Plating kills the old fear of starting "dry." Like
wise Oil-Plating refuses to let go in all the fury of 5,000
revolutions per minute. That's why your "good old car" or
the latest model will stay more like new, with its engine Oil
Plated. And your whole Summer's driving will take less
