A telegram received about noon Wednesday. April 5 by Robt. B. Ward brought information of the death of hi9 Bon, Warren L. Ward, who lost his life in an airplane crash which occurred at Krueger Field, an aux iliary landing field eight miles east of Randolph Field, Texas. The news of the tragic death of this splendid young man came as a shock to his wide circle of friends throughout this community. No young man was held in higher regard by those who knew him and com ments made by friends included the expressions of profound sympathy for the members of his family. WThen the accident occurred he was practicing 180-degree approaches to the landing field and had com pleted two of the three turns included in the maneuver when the BT-9 training plane fell off into a tail spin and crashed from an altitude of from 200 to 300 feet. The body reached Auburn Friday morning, April 7, accompanied by his roommate. Flying Cadet Robert Dean Postlewaite. Warren Leonard Ward, son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert B. Ward, was born at Auburn, January 23. 1912, and had attained the age of 27 years, 2 months and 13 days. He attended the Auburn schools and graduated from the high school with the class of 1929 and in the fall of the same vear he enrolled as a student at Ne braska Wesleyan university at Lin coln where he received his A. B. degree in the spring of 1933. All through his school and ollege career he ranked as an "A" student. After he had graduated from college he worked with his father at the Johnson & Ward filling station in Au burn. Last summer he was employed as government inspector on the river project at Brownville. In October he gave up this posi tion and enlisted for a four year course in the army flying corps at Randolph Field as a flying cadet. On February 24 he -passed the; -required tests which qualified him for the rank of upper classman and the rank of corporal. In letters to Mr. and Mrs. Ward, officers at Randolph Field paid high tribute to his character and worth. Col. John B. Brooks, commanding the Air Corps wrote: "Youf son's record at this school was an excellent one and many remarks of tribute have already reached me. Kindly ac cept the heartfelt sympathy of my self and every member of this com mand in the untimely death of this young man. It is regretted that his career should be so abruptly. termin ated." Col. A. W. Robbins wrote: "His work at the training center was of the highest order and his death is not only a great personal loss to us but a distinct loss to the service. He was held in the highest esteem by all who came In contact with him and his untimely passing is deeply re gretted by all." Warren was a licensed amateur radio operator, operating under the call letters W9VQB and was a char ter member of the Southeast Nebras ka Radio club.

VISIT AT FALLS CITY Sunday Mr. and Mrs. A. N. Sulli van of south of this city, with Mr. and Mrs. Herman Tiekotter and Janet, motored to Falls City to spend the day. They were guests at the home of Dr. and Mrs. J. M. Greene, Mrs. -Greene being a sister of Mrs. Sullivan. I REMEMBER By OLIVE GASS As a part of the celebration of Music Week, May 7-13 I have been requested ot give some reminiscences of Plattsmouth's musical activities, especially during the early days. Plattsmouth, Nebraska was settled in 1853-54 and as early as 1858 we find an organization of the members of the community for the purpose of a general advancement in mental growth. It was called "The Literary Circle." WTe are fortunate in having had the secretary's book of this "Literary Circle" preserved for us. In it there are frequent refer ences to "singing by the members," with critical comments on the same. As, for instance, "The singing to- nieht was fair." or 'Tonight, the 3inging was mellifluous!" But on nther occasions, the comments on the singing were definitely caustic. J. N. Wise, with his tuning fork, was the leader of these "sings." The names of some of these first families in this group, were Mr. and Mrs. Ezra Bradford, Mr. and Mrs. Perry P. Gass, Jonathan Wrise, Parker Wise, Burwell Spurlock, Miss Nancy Spur lock, Miss Ella Duke, Miss Margaret Duke, I. N. Karraga. This secretary's book is important because it gives us the date (1858) of the first organization to have vocal music regularly on the pro gram. I have depended on the secretary's book for these earliest historical facts, but the remainder of this article is strictly reminiscent, as 1 took part in all that I relate. Soon after the close of the civil war an opera was presented here by local talent. I remember that at the age of S years, I made my debut as i singer in the chorus of that opera. What the name of the opera was, 1 do not know. But I distinctly remem ber that my mother made for me a new ruffled white dress with many gilt papeV stars sewed upon it, so presumably I was an angelic fairy The operas of Gilbert and Sulli van were very popular during the latter part of the 19th century. Plattsmouth musicians organized for the purpose of presenting some of these, between 1S87 and 1900. The. operas selected were: "H. M. 3. Pinafore," composed in 1878; Pirates' of Penzance, composed in aSSO, and the "Mikado," composed in 1S85. I wish to digress from my subject, .0 comment on the fact that this year (1939) the jazz-swing maniacs have attacked "The Mikado" and IitV now present it to a long-suffering public, under the title "Hot Mikado." I wish I knew a soft pedal word mat would be a synonym for "lazy." But I do not, therefore I must say that these self-styled ultra-modern-Isis ure too lazy to do serious, orig inal work, and therefore they attach jazs-swing" like parasites, to cor rect musical forms of real merit. hoping thereby to participate in the success of the meritorious work from which they receive sustenance. Following the presentation of the Gilbert and Sullivan operas, we be ?an the study of oratorios. "Elijah" was given about 1S92, directed by Mrs. G. W. Noble. "The Messiah" was given about 1893 and was also directed by Mrs. G. W. Noble. '"Queen Esther" was given In 1898 directed by Mrs. Lillian Swearingin-Hasse One of the earliest music clubs was the "Mozart Study Club" whose members were earnest music teach ers and students whose object was to ' become better acquainted with classical music and composers. In 1887 the "Zither Orchestra" was organized, witht he following play ers: Zithers: Mrs. Ida Wraterman Wagner, Miss Anna Wrechbach, Mrs Alex Clark, Mrs. C. M. Butler, Miss Kate Stadelman; Violins: Miss Lll llan Kauble, Mr. A. Eigenbrodt; Cor net: Mr. Alex Clark; Guitars: Miss Olive Gass, Miss Lydia Wechbach. Miss Alma Schmidtmann; Bass viol: Mr. Hodabt. We not only gave our entertain ments in Plattsmouth, but we pre sented our concerts in neighboring towns. Besides these group activities along musical lines, Plattsmouth has sent out professional entertainers who have been a credit to the city. Among them are Alice and Ethel Dovey, Dora Swearingin, L. D. Hiatt, Lil lian Kauble, Agnes Knoflicek and Richard Avard. In closing, I wish to compare the status of music in our city in those early day3, with the advancement of today. During my school days, we had no music supervisors and no music taught. However,' we sang every morning at opening exercises a capella, and enjoyed it. Today, "music" is found In the curriculum of every-school in Platts mouth. Two of the most efficient and wide spread means of cultivating a knowl edge and love for music are the Vic- trola and radio and to these must be given much of the credit for the remarkable advancement in music ap preciation, in Plattsmouth, today. PRESENT OPERETTA Friday evening there was a very fine audience present at the high school building to witness the pre sentation of one of the most delight ful of the light operettas, "H. M. S. Pinafort?," which in its day had been one of the most popular of the tune ful musical operas.
