lice was without a car. At this time

car on the street in the daytime

car.

Dr. Frank Smith
Speaks on the
Frontier of Time
Rotary Club Hears Very Fine Address
on the Subject and Need of
Learning: to Live.
Tuesday at their weekly luncheon
the members of the Rotary club had
the pleasure of a visit from Dr.
Frank G. Smith, noted Omaha divine
minister and who brought them a
thrilling message of "Frontiers of
Yesterday and Tomorrow." Dr. Smith
is one of the noted orators of the
west and in his message left much
food for thought In the needs of hu
man understanding and friendly re
lationships in the future years.
Dr. Smith took up the gradual con
quering of the territorial frontiers,
the first landing of the peoples from
the old world on our shores and
gradually the forcing back westward
of the frontier, first the states of the
great lakes and the south, then west
ward across the Mississippi, the
opening of the great plains territory,
in this he giving a great deal of
Plattsmouth and Nebraska history
as this was one of the chief points
of the westward migration of the
hardy men and women of the late
forties and fifties. When these terri
torial frontiers had been swept aside
and a great nation now exists, it
was up to the men and women to
face the frontiers of the tomorrow.
the chief of which man must learn
to conquer, that of human relations,
the knowledge of how to live, the
betterment of relations between in
dividuals as well as nations, between
employer and employee. Only in this
way can the last great barrier of
a world of peace and usefulness be
secured.
The meeting was in charge of E. J.
Richey as leader and who presented
the speaker and members of the visit
ing party. There were some ten from
Qmaha here as well as visitors from
Nebraska City.
John Tidball and Joe York, high
school students who have been the
members for October, gave their im
pressions of Rotary in a fine manner
and expressed their appreciation of
their pleasant associations.

YOU remember March" 5, 1933 Uio
"Bank Holiday"
That morning when it Pawned upon yon
that the small change in your pocket was all
the money you had, all the money you could
get to live on . remember how you felt?
How dazed and dumbfounded, how stunned?,
And you remember, too, that daring those
few days of "bank holiday," business suf
fered ... jobs ended for many persons .
confusion and uncertainty preyjuled! j
r,
You realized then, from actual experience,
what lack of Bank service means to a com
munity ... how helpless tee ara without it.
In many small towns of Nebraska there has
been no end to "bank holiday." No bank has
reopened; no new Bank started. In these
communities of our State, businens is still
handicapped and people - are still incon
venienced by Isck of a Bank! ,
O LET'S BE FAIR 5
This condition is no fault of our small towns.
They may not be able to maintain a National
Bank; they easily could maintain a State
Bank. But an old Nebraska law imposes
double liability on stockholders, whflgh is now
unfair to State Banks and discourages people
fi-om operating a State Bank.
State Banks can insure deposits, the same as
National Banks. So double liability is no
longer needed.
Let's be fair to our email towns that need a
Bank. Be sure to vote on the proposal about
State Banks and vote "FOR" repeal.
BOTH PARTIES HAVE ENDORSED IT
For the good of Nebraska, BOTH major
parties hare endorsed repeal of the unneces
sary and harmful double liability law. ,
Regardless of your politics, your party aski
you to vote on this proposal at the coming
election and vote "FOR" repeal.
COMMITTEE FOR REPEAT, cf Double Liability

William Lewis, 73, a former resi
dent of this community, and who
