A large number of the friends ol this popular couple are expected to attend the gathering. Work Begun on 0 Street Work preliminary to the actual paving of the ten mile gap on the O street highway ( U. S. No. ,.4 has been started and a detour set up, running south from the Ft. George service station one mile, thence east I into Avoca and from here north to the highway, a total distance of three miles, all on graveled road. The purpose of the detour is to permit the rebuilding of the bridge located just west of the Missouri Pacific grade crossing. This bridge has been a narrow structure and although markers along the high way notify motorists of that fact, a number of accidents have occurred there when car drivers either failed to heed the sign or thought they could "beat" the other fellow to the crossing. The structure will be made standard width. Later, the work of paving this ten mile stretch will be undertaken. A great many of the residents of this part of the country are disap pointed that concrete pavement is not to be laid on the balance of this road, matching that already in place. The black top or oil macadam high way is considered all right for roads with less traffic than O street car ries, but even that breaks down in time and becomes uneven and rough (nuch faster than concrete. However, Prompt Closings " FARM 4 L0AI1S JOE LAPIDUS Hotel Plattsmouth w $ $ $$$$$$$$$$ 33 IP the state highway department has reen fit to award a contract for the black top surfacing and the only thing to do is to make the best of it.

The tribute was penned by Grace Miles Hall, of Grant. It follows: "They are not lost, who journey on. Into a Country Fair, To be with loved ones, gone before, Who're waiting for them there. They've only crossed a little snan And vanished from our sight; But, while we grieve, they're dwelling in A 'Land of Pure Delight.' Away from every care and pain. They wait on that Blest Shore To welcome us, to Lands of Love Where partings are no more! We, who are crushed that thev are gone, Because we love them so. Must learn to visualize their joy, And their sweet peace, to know. God's promises are ever true His Heaven is not far; And if we're faithful to the end, We'll go where loved ones are. There, parting tears we will forget, Rejoice they journeyed on. Across the rpan that separates The Darkness from the Dawn. When we beheld them once There'll be no achinir heart a in, Nor tears and when we compre hend That we shr.ll never part We'll understand the meaning, then Of this, our crucial test; And realize, as ne'er before That God knows what is best. So let's be brave, and carry on. As God would have us do; .So there will be a "Welcome Call Some ciay . . for you and me." By Grace Wiles Hall.

' - .- - f... -. . - - --rj Louis' Apathy Called Virtue in Mind Study Psychologist of Howard University Says Fighter Never Will Be a Night Club Champion. By HILLIER KRIEGHBAUM United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON (UP). Dr. Ernest Y. Williams of the Howard University School of Medicine has taken Joe Louis apart psychologically and predicts that he will be a "good" champion because he isn't the type who "steps out" at night. The assistant professor of neur ology and psychology at the Negro university believes that Louis would accept the responsibilities of being in the public eye because his emo tional makeup is such that he will not try to show off now that he is champion. The same traits that will help to make him a "good" champion are those which helped him to climb to boxing success. Dr. Williams said. He explained that Joe was the vagtonic type of individual or the one that is phlegmatic and hard to arouse. To explain his point, the professor said that Louis was reported to have slept almost up to the time of the light. Likewise, he said that Louis' backers had to supply the drive to keep him going and had to build up his interest in wanting to win each fight. Louis Extreme Type In contrast, he said, some boxers are all "needles and pins" just before a bout and for them to sleep, as Louis did, would be impossible. These in dividuals belong to the sympathec tonic type, Dr. Williams said, and their reactions are entirely opposite from the phlegmatic individuals. I Because Louis belongs to this phlegmatic type. Dr. Williams pre dicted that he will be content to fol low his former manner of life, which was more or less routine, instead of setting out to show the night club world ho v.- a champion could go through his paces. Louis, the professor explained, stays in the background except when there is fighting to be done; then he struts his stuff. Joe is so unable to break away from his type that he is not a good radio rpeakcr and lacks glamour except during ring perform ances. Another Word for Color Dr. Williams said that in the ring Louis fights in the most dramatic manner. In this he is like Dempsey because bcth champions had what Br. Williams called neuromuscular co ordination. In baseball, Babe Ruth exemplified the same quality. This perfect and almost instinctive timing, whether in the prize ring or on the baseball diamond, gives the crowd a thrill because it al' happens so suddenly. There is no chance to see the mental "processes before the action or even the various parts. There is a sort of explosion and a homer has been blasted out of the ball park or a mighty right has floor ed the boxer's rival. co-operative union. Thus united, they plan a very aggressive campaign against sin in all its forms. They will meet soon to adopt a constitu tion which has been drawn up by Rev. F. C. Weber, Rev. Calloway of Louisville and Martin Bornemeier, living near Murdock. The officers of the new union are Rev. Ernest Baker, pastor of the hri.stian church of Elmwood up un til the past week, when he resigned to accept a CCC camp pastorate. president; Rev. Small, pastor of the United Brethren church at Nehawka, vice president, and Rev. F. C. Weber, of this vicinity, secretary-treasurer. VISIT IN OMAHA oni Friday's Tiaily Mr. and Mrs. L. B.
