FINLAND CONTEMPLATES
ISLAND FORTIFICATIONS
HELS1NGFORS, Finland, May "
(UP) Reliable sources indicated to
.Jay that inland might proceed with
fortification of the strategic Aland
islands despite the objections of So
viet Russia.
Although no official information
v.js available, indignation was
mounting in responsible government
lircles against the attitude of Mos
ow which has insisted on postpone
ment of a decision on fortification of
the islands and has indicated sus
picion of Finland's motives.
(The Aland Islands at the mouth
jf the Gulf of Bothnia might be
used in war time to bottle up the
Soviet fleet and would be of vast
importance to Germany in keeping
:pcn her communication lines with
Sweden's iron mines.)
Finnish officials expressed hope
that Britain and France would join
them in persuading Russia to accept
the fortification proposals. Failure
to achieve satisfactory settlement of
the question, it was indicated, might
influence the attitude of Finland aud
Sweden toward the League of Na
tions. The islands lie between Fin
land and. Sweden which have said
they sought only to strengthen their
neutrality by fortifying them.

questions, the president said he had

CHANGE IN BOXING PLANS
Plans for the boxing class at the
American Legion hall have undergone
a slight change, due to the difficulty
prospective pupils might have, to pay
the fee for tuition. The change has
not made any difference Jn the small
amount asked for the course, but
have made it even more convenient
for the younger element to take ad
vantage of the opportunity to learn
the art of boxing under the direction
jf a former world's champion.
The new scheme will permit the
youngsters to join a newly organized
American Legion Athletic Guild for
only a dollar a month and the entire
membership will be entitled to in
struction, if they want it.
There are other privileges given
to members of the new guild, includ
ing use of the athletic equipment
ind a 50 per cent rate reduction on
the price of admission to each of
the amateur tournaments to be
3taged by the Legion this fall and
winter.
This new scheme will permit Mr.
Average Citizen to aid in the health
building and happiness of the young
er generation, by buying a member
ship in the new American Legion
Athletic Guild and being rewarded
for their interest in a material way
with a half price privilege of wit
nessing the "scraps" at the Legion
hall this fall and winter.
Membership cards for the Amer
ican Legion Athletic Guild will be
ready in a day or two and all citizens
of this territory are urged to "join
up" and thus help amateur boxing
in this section of the county and also
save fifty per cent on their "fight
tickets."
MAY PLAY NO MORE
NEW YORK, May 2G (UP)
Friends of Ignace Jan Paderewski
feared today that he would never play
the piano in public again.
rmeen tnousamj-persons were in
Madison Square' Garden last night.
The great piano on the stage was
open, waiting for the old master's
fingers. The audience buzzed with
antic'patory conversation. The hour
for the concert parsed. The audience
clapped hands impatiently. A voice
Doomed out over the public address
system.
"Mr Paderewski will be forced to
postpone the concert because he has
been subject to a slight heart attack."
The 78 year old pianist and states
man was taken from his dresing room
to his private railroad car on Grand
Central terminal and will be taken
to a hotel suite today. During the
night, his representatives canceled
the rest of his tour and his attend
ants made plans for an early sailing
to his home in Switzerland. Dr.
Theodore Dunham described his con
dition as "fair."

Local Couple
Celebrate 60th
Anniversary
Mr. and Mrs. Cyril Janda vHaye
Happy Day as Children of Their
Heart Gather to Pay Honor
Today is the sixtieth wedding an
niversary of Mr. and Mrs. Cyril
Janda, old and highly respected resi
dents of the community in which
they have lived their wedded life
with the exception of a few months.
In the passing years their splendid
lives have served as an inspiration
and example to the residents of the
community' in their beautiful home
life and outstanding Christian char
acteristics. Mr. Janda was born in the prov
ince of Moravia, then a part of the
Austria-Hungarian empire on Febru
ary 2, 1860, where his youth was
spent and where he learned the trade
that he later was to make his life
avocation in the new world.
In his native land on May 27, 1879
Cyril Janda and Paulina Matenk
were wedded at their village church
and a few months later with brothers
of Mr. Janda left their native home
to come to the United States to dwell
In the land of which so many reports
had been sent by an elder brother,
Thomas Janda, who had come to
this country and located at Platts
mouth in 1878.
Mr. and Mrs. Janda arrived in the
United States on August 1, 1879,
with his brothers, Frank Janda, An
ton Janda, Joseph Janda and John
Janda, as well as their father and
mother, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Janda,
Sr. Two sisters, Petrolina and Karo
lina also came here to make their
home, Petrolina then being Mrs.
Nowacek and in later years was mar
ried as a widow to Anton Chaloupka.
Karolina' was married to Joseph
Vyhleda'l, and for many years lived
in the central part of the state. The
sisters and four of the brothers have
passed away.
Mr. Janda well recalls an amusing
incident of the arrival at the port
of New York, where the brothers,
all musicians, filled with the joy
they felt at reaching the land where
they planned to make their home,
3tarted to play their instruments that
they had brought along from the old
world. TJiey played a concert on
the wagons that hauled their equip
ment from the docks to the hotel
where they were quartered until
leaving for the west.
On their arrival at Plattsmouth
they were met by the brother and
several other of the old friends who
had migrated from Moravia to this
place, who received the party with
joy and assisted them in 'getting
settled. At the time of the arrival
of the Janda family, the western
part of the city was largely a wilder
ness with trees and hazel brush and
it was here that they" started to clear
out a location for their home.
It was in the late fall that Mr.
Janda commenced building nis per
manent home In the cleared off land
and which has been for many years
a comfortable and attractive home,
where they have reared their chil
dren and gathered at their hospitable
fireside old friends of the many years
past.
Mr. Janda has been a gifted musi
cian since his earliest days and his
love for the beauty of music or its
nlaying has not dimmed even with
Ihe approach of the older years. He
was instrumental in organizing1 the
Ijrass band here that was known for
nany years as the Janda band, com
posed of many of his family, which
for their own pleasure and in public
entertainment proved a pleasant part
at the community life. He also con
ducted the Janda orchestra and
which added to the musical culture
Df the city for many years in enter
tainments and dances.
Mr. and Mrs. Janda have been
very devout members of the Roman
Catholic church and during their
residence here Mr. Janda has been
an outstanding figure in the work
of the church in the community. In
1890 when a very large number of
the persons of Bohemian and Mora
vian descent had located here, the
matter of building of a church and
creation of a parish was started by
leaders in the . church membership,
the result being that the permission
and creation of the Holy Rosary par
ish was made by Thomas Bonacum,
bishop of Lincoln.
The work of erecting the church
building was commenced and Mr.
Janda served as the chairman of the
building committee of the parish
and with his co-workers completed
the structure and which was for
mally dedicated and consecrated in
1892 and has since served as a house
of worship for Mr. Janda and those
X
of his fellow countrymen. For more
4-
than forty years Mr. Janda was the j4
leader of the choir and the organist
of the church, serving at the masses
with faithfulness and when weddings
or the last rites were to be celebrated
he was found at his post to play for
the masses and services. It was on
the occasion of the. funeral of an old
neighbor, Frank Slavicek, some -i
years ago, that Mr. Janda exper
ienced one of the saddest of hi3 ex
perience while he was at the organ
of the church. His beloved sister,
Mrs. Petrolina Chaloupka, was a
member of the choir and singing in
the mass when she was fatally strick
en and touching the brother to at
tract his attention sank into rest.
Mr. Janda was employed by the
Burlington railroad in the local
shops over a long period of years and
was a faithful and highly honored
employe in the years that he srved.
He had gone to work just a short
time after his arrival and soon was
engaged in his trade as carpenter
and cabinet maker in tne coach shop,
his skilled hands helping to turn
out hundreds of coaches for the rail-
road and his fine workmanship was
quickly recognized. He was an as
sistant for the late Washington
Smith in the years that he was the
foreman of the coach department. He
was over thirty-three years a gang
foreman in the shop. In 1922 Mr.
Janda terminated his services with
the railroad and has since led a re
tired life at the home in the west
part of the city.
Here at the home in the gentle
companionship of the beloved wife,
they have both watched the declin
ing years, firm in the love of their
home, quiet now that the children
of their hearts have gone forth to
in turn build their homes. Content
ed in their love and happy in the
consolation of their religion, they
have truly experienced an enriching
old age.
Their children, all of whom are
with them today are Thomas Janda
of Omaha, Charles C. Janda of Oma
ha, Mrs. J. A. Pitz of this city, Mrs.
Vincent Slatinsky and Mrs. Henry
Brinkman, of Sedalia, Missouri, and
Cyril Janda, Jr., or Omaha. One
daughter, Mrs. Mary Rummel, has
passed away.
There are twenty grandchildren
and five great-grandchildren.

recently discovered spec.f.c for ces
tain types cf pneumonia, on which
much of the experimental work had
been done in the surgeon's own lab

Wednesday night it be came apparent
further transfusions would be of no
avail. . i
