The American Legion led the pro

ADDS RADIO FEATURE
KOIL has added a handlcapner to
its coverage of the Ak-Sar-Ben races.
The KOIL handicapper i3 heard each
racing day, Tuesday through Friday
at 12:30, giving his choice for win
ners in each race of the day. On
Saturdays the handicapper comes on
at 1 o'clock.
KOIL also carries the feature race.

approximately 4:15 p. m.
How do you get the correct Om-
juha time into a program from Holly
wood? And how do you get the
Omaha weather forecast and tem
perature inlo the program?
These are two questions that have
puzzled listeners ever since "Sun
kistime" opened on KOIL a month
ago. This musical clock type pro
gram, with networking annoanecrs
Ken Carpenter and Bill Goodman,
is heard each weekday from 7:30
to S a. m. At the end, the program
is identified as coming from Holly
wood. But the thing many listeners seem
to overlook is that at the opening
and closing, the program is identi-
j fied as a transcription. So putting
in Omaha time and temperature is
! a very simple matter. Engineers
simply fade the recording down to
a low volume and Bill Baldwin steps
to a KOIL microphone and delivers
the local data during a musical
number. Then the engineer brings
the transcription up to full volume
and "Sunkistime" goes on.
This method also accounts for so
many Omaha winners of the crates
of oranges given away on the lim
erick contest. A KOIL winner is
selected every day, and the announce
ment of the local winner is made by
this same fading method.
BULLET IN TREE 122 YEARS

Farmers of this vicinity are com
plaining of the over abundance of
rain which thtey say is causing rust
on the wheat. It is of the red rust
variety which the grain can stand
much better than black rust. One
of the farmers was telling of a white
dog chasing a jack rabbit through
his wheat field, and when the dog
emerged from the lield, it was red
instead of white. Some clear weath
er and a little wind to stir the rap
idly growing wheat foliage will go a
long way toward remedying this
defect, and anyway it is better to
have a little too much moisture than
not any as has been the case for
several years past.
Visiting; in Avoca
Wendell Burchard. a cousin of
Fred Marquardt. was a visitor in
Avoca for a time last week, coming

Camporee to
be Held This
Mon.-Tuesday
Boy Scouts of Arbor Lodge District
Looking Forward to Pleasant
Two-Day Outing Here.
This Monday and Tuesday, at
Camp Wheeler, south of Platts
mouth, there will be held the Arbor
Lodge District Camporee of the Boy
Scouts, bringing 150 or more boys
here from the towns of Nemaha, Otoe
and Cass counties that have Scout
troops.
The boys are due to arrive about
4 p. m. and continuing up to 7, if
impractical to get here earlier. They
will come in cars to the Murray cor
ner, from which point they will
hike to the camp, a distance of one
and three-quarters miles, carrying
their personal equipment and food
the same as though going on an over
night hike, which is what a cam
poree really amounts to, with this
difference, instead of one troop there
will be ten or twelve, and inter
troop competition will be engaged
in for camping honors.
The regulations prescribe that
tents and heavy equipment may be
taken into camp by auto.
On arrival at the camp, the differ
ent troops will be assigned camping
sites, facing on a company street,
and proceed at once with the erec
tion of their tents and making prep
arations for their overnight stay, in
cluding the preparation of their
evening meal. All camps are to be
readv for inspection by 7 p. m. A
possible 300 points can be secured
based on the following: Condition of
equipment; how carried; its com
pleteness and the percentage of troop
members present.
The day will close with a Conn
cil Fire, around which the troops
will gather for an evening of com
petitive stunts, yells and songs.
Taps will be blown at 10 p. m.
Tuesday morning, reville and col
ors at 6 a. m.. followed by cookcraft
competition in the preparation of
breakfast. Each troop may prepare
additional food, but judging will be
on bacon, scrambled eggs and cocoa
The noon meal at 12:15 is also to
be judged as part of the cookcraft
project. Again other dishes may be
added to the menu, but the articles
on which rcoring will be done in
clude hunter's stew, cornbread, hoe
cake or twist on a stick and rice
pudding. The total point score on
this is 250.
Personal inspection comes at 7:45
a. m. 125 possible points. The final
camp inspection with 520 possible
points, based on condition of all
camping equipment, kitchen, shel
ter, beds. etc.. will be held during
the early forenoon, followed by a
program of six highly competitive
field events.
The total possible points a troop
may make is 2255. Troops scoring
1S25 or better will be rated "A,"
while those scoring 1350 or more
will be awarded "B" rating. Any
thing over 675 rates "C."
The local troop committee will
furnish in addition to its campsite,
a goodly number of adults as guides
and scorers for the different events,
wood for cooking and campfire, a
tank of water for dish washing and
personal cleanliness, as well as pro
vision for fire protection. Numerous
citizens of the community are being
contacted by E. H. Wescott, general
camopree chairman to lend their aid
to the committee in making this the
first camporee of Arbor Lodge dis
trict a success.
The public is invited to visit the
camp at any time, especially during
the evening of the opening day when
the Council Fire follows the even
ing meal.
A high standard of camping will
be the foremost aim. Troops will be
under close observation from the
time of their arrival at the Murray
corner, until the grounds have been

Noted Foot Authority says every type of Foot
CAN be comfortably fitted in the proper shoe.
The man who has done more than any American individual to help
America regain its feet (physically) Dr. Wm. M. Scboll. says that there
is really no foot that is too hard to fit if the shoes arc; of the proper typa
and construction, and if modern, scientific shoe-fitting methods are employed.-
Here are some unusual types of feet.
There is the long, thin type of
foot; the foot with a painful bun
ion; crooked, overlapping toes; the
short, stubby foot; the weak foot
or flat foot; the foot that has corns
or tender does; and there is the foot
with the high arch. When ordinary
shoes are fitted in the ordinary man
ner these feet do present a shoe
fitting problem, but such should not
be the case, says this world famous
Food Authority who pioneered foot
health thirty-three years ago.
Demonstration in This City
Thursday, June 9, at
Fetzer Shoe Co.
In order to prove his point. Dr.
Seholl has arranged to have his rep
resentatives direct from the Chicago
factory, visit the above store in order
to conduct an all day shoe-fitting
demonstration and display of Dr.
Scholl's Scientific Shoes.
Tvery type, size and width (men's
6 to 14 women's 2 to 13; widths
A AAA to EEEl, shoes in proper size
for children and growing girls will
be included. In all, there will be
622 fittings. Advance Fall and Win
ter styles will also be shown. Fit
tings will be by X-ray. Stepping on
this device and looking at your feet
feet through the visor, you can see
through your shoe not only the bones
of your feet and their position, but
the tissues as well. Other methods of
scientific shoe fitting, perfected by
Dr. Scboll, will also be used.
Dr. Scholl's Shoes are designed on
policed after the noonday meal Tues
day and the command is given to
"break camp."
Bulletins have been sent out by
the local committee with final in
structions on how to reach the camp
and other last minute details, and
all are loking forward to a most
enjoyable two-day outing.
The camporee will be under the
direct supervision of Willis V. El
liott, associate Scout executive of the
Cornhusker Council, who comes here
from Lincoln early Monday morning
to complete the final arrangements.
As stated above, he will be assisted
in grading the troops by local adult
merit badge counsellors and others
interested in boys and outdoor life.
Scoutmaster Raymond Larson re
ports 19 Scouts from Plattsmouth
troop No. 364 have signified their
intention of attending the camporee
next Monday and Tuesday. Accord
ing to present arrangements, six of
these boys will occupy shelter (pup)
tents and the remainder will occupy
larger tents.
For convenience and organization,
the Scouts who will attend the cam
poree have been .divided into three
provisional patrols just for the dura
tion of the camp. After the camp.
the boys will continue in their old
patrol organizations.
The composition of the three pro
visional patrols is as follows:
First Patrol. Corbin Davis, patrol
leader; Nason Babbitt, Gerald Hen
nings. Billy Robertson. Jim Brown
and Bob Webb.
Second Patrol, Ed Hiber, patrol
leader; Bill Cloidt, Lars Larson,

Keith Dashner.
Third Patrol, Johnny Morris, pa
