Young Speeder
Paroled for Four
Ice Cream Cones
Mayor Exercises Pardon Power for
Trifling: Sum Had First Ask
for Four Malted Milks.
From Thursday's Dally
For six hours yesterday eighth
grade boys from the Junior High
school were in charge of city affairs,
and at li p. m., after a model coun
cil session, when they turned back
the reins of government to Mayor
George Lushinsky all felt it had
been a "noble experiment" and one
that will long be remembered by
every bor who had a part.
In fact, before adjourning a
reso-
luticn was passed thanking Mayor
Lushinsky and other city officials for
making "this day possible" and to
their teacher. Coach Boggess for
originating the idea.
At three o'clock yesterday after
noon these eighth graders were
"sworn in" by Mayor Lushinsky, anr1
from that time on most of them
found plenty to occupy their at'en
tion. Rome of the duties were per
functory and routine in nature, but
to some there came real thrills as;
they went about their tasks.
Police Have Fun
This was particularly true in the
police department, where four boys,
George Rhoden. Frederick Jasper,
Edwin Final ley and Gerald Blunt
donned badges and went forth to
look for law violators, direct traffic
and clear parking space for the vis
iting Beech-Nut circus car. It was
all very real.
Highlighting the police experi
ence was the "arrest" of Jimmy
Mauzy for exceeding speed limits on
his motorized scooter. Armed with a
warrant, the "pinch" was made as
Jimmy waited at Fetzers to have his
shoes repaired. The trip to the city
hastile (otherwise known as "hoose-
gow" ) was real fun for the cops, i
but on arrival there the tables were '
unexpectedly turned when, after the;
boys had their prisoner safely be-J
hind the bars someone dropped the
lock into place on the outside door,
and not only the prisoner but the
entire police force were locked up.
Pleas to City Chief Barclay to re
lease them fell on deaf ears, and it
was not until Mayor Donald Martin
arrived and approved letting them
out that they were able to get loose.
In the meantime other complications
had arisen.
Mauzy. sentenced to jail for speed
ing was trying to get a reprieve from
His Honor the Mayor. After a con
ference of the inner-circle
officials
i war- agreed this could be "arrang
ed" for "four malted milks." These
being refused, a compromise was ef
fected with four ice cream cones as
the "price" of this unethical bit of
city management and the Mauzy
fountain "came throug." Talk of
"pinching" the Mayor was met with
the statement he would "can" the
entire police force and appoint a
new one.
The climaxing feature came with
the council session in the evening.
Every councilman was in his seat
as the gavel was sounded and stand
ing room was at a premium in the
spectator's "gallery" at the council
chamber to see these red-blooded,
fully-alert and up-and-coming boys
do their stuff. No new mayor tak
ing office in recent years has faced
a larger crowd of spectators than
this overflow crowd that extended
out into Judge Graves' office and
the stair landing outside the hall.
The meeting brought its amusing
incidents that had to be heard to be
best appreciated, and we will not
try to bring them to you. If you
weren't among those present
t
you
missed it, that's all.
We do present below the official
minutes of the session as written by
City Clerk Cary Marshall.
A picture of the youthful mayor
and clerk, taking over the gavel and
minute book from Mayor Lushinsky
and City Clerk Olson, together with
an account of how "Eighth Grad
ers 'Manage' Plattsmouth for a Day"
appeared in this morning's World
Herald. Thus is climaxed a program begun
more than a month ago and spon
sored by Coach Clark Eoggess, who
thought up the idea and put it over,
first through the creation of a mythi
cal city which the Journal chose to
call "Boggessville." and yesterday
our own municipality, in the man
agement of which the boys gained
several hours of valuable experi
ence. Having but recently published a
complete roster of the "Boggesville"
officials, e will ttot repeat it at this

Nebraska Newspapers to Feature
Popular Slogan for Standard
Red Crown Gasoline.
"Everybody likes zip and pep with
plenty of get-up-and-go energy,"
says Standard. They like it in people
they like it in music they like it
in games and they certainly like it
in hteir c: rs. And, according to 193S
way and one good word that de
scribes it al ... "UMP-FF!"
That's what it takes and that's
what Standard believes motorists
will find in the Special Summer Red
Crown gasoline, now on sale. They
have, therefore, released to Nebraska
newspapers a series of "M ore
Vmp-ff!" advertisements, each and
every one fairly bubbling with per
sonality, humor, human interest, fast
moving copy and convincing facts.
Be sure to watch this newspaper for
future ads. According to our advance
information, you are doubtlessly go
ing to enjoy them.
In line with Standard's rigid ad
vertising policy, there will be no
false claims or exaggerated copy
used. All advertisements are amus
ing, interesting yet forceful in their
sincerity. The entire campaign will
invite motorists to drive into Stand
ard Oil Dealer's stations and try a
tankful of this Special Summer Red
Crown gasoline. Then, motorists are
to judge for themselves, the longer
mileage and added power it gives
their cars.

recollection of the various types of
transportation of mail in Platts
mouth, in his boyhood recalling the
thrill of the arrival of the steam
boat from clown the river, bringing
the letters and papers from the south
and east, the stage coach that ar
rived with pouches of mail for the
then frontier settlement. Later came
the railroad and with the much
swifter arrival of mail from the far
distant points. The last was the air
plane that dropped from the skies to
mark a new epoch in mail transpor
tation. SEARCH FOR "DEAD MAN'
