"William Long, 07, town marshal of
Elmwood and in charge of the water
pumping plant of that place, was
i discovered dead this morning in the
engine room of the plant, his man
gled body wrapped around a shaft
where he had been battered to death.
The accident had occurred at
10:15 as the broken watch of the
dead man had stopped at that time,
it being some time later that parties
coming to the plant discovered the
t
tragedy. j
It was evident that the foot of i
Mr. Long had been caught in a rope
attached to the pully and cogs and
apparently he had been dragged into
the revolving shaft to a terrible
death. The bones were crushed and
the body pounded terribly.
The body was removed from the
shaft and at that time it was dis
covered that his foot was caught by
the rope.
Mr. Long and family have made
their heme in Elmwood for the past
twenty years, he being engaged in
the blacksmith business and in late

Thirty-Two
Local Students
Aided by NYA
$870 Expended Here During School
Year in Work for Students
of the School.
National Youth Administration
part-time student aid jobs provided
earnings totaling $S70 for thirty-two
Plattsmouth high school students
during the 193G-37 school year, ac
cording to Gladys J. Shamp, NYA
state director. ,
This money was paid to the stu
dents at a rate not exceeding six
dollars per month for each f-tudent
and was remuneration for actual
work performed on student aid proj
ects, which were arranged and
supervised by the school faculty. All
students did not earn the maximum
of six dollars per month, since in
some cases the school officials per
mitted students to earn less than the
maximum wage in order to spread
the funds to benefit a greater num
ber of students.
The NYA student aid program was
carried on in 533 high schools and
23 colleges in Nebraska with an
average of 3.SCC high school students
and 2,327 college students appear
ing on monthly payrolls.
Regarding the student aid program
during the past year. Miss Shamp
said: "The primary aim and chief
benefit f the NYA student aid pro
gram has been its enabling of needy
youth to remain in school. It is ob
viously better for young people to
continue in school, where they may
better fit themselves for future jobs,
than for them to be thrown upon
the labor market before they are able
to satisfactorily perform work of
value to their community.
"The untimely ending of educa
tional careers has been averted by
the NYA part-time jobs, which have
provided sufficient funds to make the
difference between a student's attend
ance at school and his dropping out
because of financial difficulties.
"The NYA student aid program is
not to be confused with the NYA
program for out-of-school youths,
which is also operating in Platts
mouth. The young people employed
on the student aid program are not
necessarily eligible for employment
on the program for out-of-school
youths." ;
