POEMS IN CONTEST
The following are the completion
of the poems submitted in the recent
contest held among the school chil
dren of the city:
School's End
Now at last our'work is done;
Now's the time we have our fun.
Schools are closed; our worry is past;
Now aside our cares we cast!
Summer days are full of joy.
For everybody girl or boy
Now we can play or fish or hike,
Oh, its the summer days we like.

He likes to play with puppy
Because he is Terry Lee.

A reminder of God's promise true,
A promise for me and for you.
I thought "If I'd follow it into the

One day he went to a cafe

And there he tried a dish
Of spaghetti.
Now he eats both of these
At all of his meals;
And is it not strange
How funny he feeis?

Vibrated Concrete Said to Eave In

Available at Small Cost
A new type of pavement for- resi
dence streets that can be laid very
e'-oiKiiuically in areas where rock is
available is coming into favor thru
out this territory. At Tecmnseh, an
extensive WPA project has been un
der way for some time, paving a
I.rce portion of the town. In Ne-
i
I hraska City, after city officials had
j gone lo TiK'umseh to view the work
being done there, application is being
made for thirty or more blocks as

j "pea soup' style of paving.
Briefly, the pavement is composed

for t hat purpose.
By means of the vinrnting process
the concrete and cn:sh'd rock are
welded into a homogeneous mass of

than could be accomplished without
the vibrating process, in fact, as

than regular concnle laid the old

The vibrating mo. -nanism is not
unlike the modern pneumatic tamp-
ii;g devic-s used quite generally by
cement block and tile manufactur
e's. The greatest difference is that
the concrete mixture in this type of
pavement construction is much thin
ner than could be used where there
are forms to be removed.
In Plattsmouth there are numer-
