PRAISES GOOD WORK
Everyone who has driven through
Plattsmouth has noticed the Off ser
vice station on U.-S.-75. It is dls
M'u.tive not only because of the at
tractiveness of the Etarion but be
cause of the unusuainoss of the name.
Many an auto accident victim has
jome to know the name of Ofe, and
the boys who work in the Ofe station.
Equipped with Red Cross parapher
nalia for treating accident victims,
the station has three men who took
the first aid course and a pick-up
truck available for highway duty.
Twice in the last two weeks the
Ofe boys have gone out on serious
accidents. They are known all up
and down the- highway, frequently
arrive before the doctors.
Dr. R. P. Westover created inter
est in Red Cross first aid work in
Plattsmouth about two years ago
and it was he who conducted the
course. Otoe county has stations
equipped to handle accident victims,
but they haven't become as well
known as the Ofe boys as yet. This
is a service of the Red Cross that is
well worth while. Nebraska City

In the Bag
"Well, then, Jadge, if you.-insist
lii.it Floyd is innocent of stealing
my watch," Tloyd's aunt was saying,
"i will Jiavo to hold you responsible
for its loss .-.rid expect you to pay
for it."
"Yes," chimed in his uncle, "that
watch was valuable, and if you don't
ray for it, next election time it will
be just too 1 ad for you."
"We've told you over and over,"
Auntie took up the refrain, "that
there was no one else in the room
where I left it that Sunday Floyd
and his folks were out except Floyd.
Even his father and mother believe
that he stole the watch and hid it,
but we can't convince you. Nobody
else but Flo j' J could have taken it."
The evidence was conclusive, but
Floyd and the Judge had talked the
matter over quite thoroughly during
an hour and a half on his first visit
to court. If the statement of four
adults were rue, it was pointed out
ti- the boy. he surely must have
taken the watch. Nevertheless Floyd
was so straightforward and so em
phatic in his denials that the judge
began to doubt that he had stolen
he jewel.
The parents were requested to
liing Floyd back to the office in
about three days, at which time the
details were tarefully reviewed. Pri
vately the four grown-ups were
given the opinion that Floyd did not
srcal the watch; but that if he had
sloven it, he since had had a com
plete lapse of memory. Uncle and
ai.nt were '.mbittered, father was
d.fiappointed that the judge had not
wrung a confession from his son;
but mother, -ike most mothers, dis
played some confidence in her boy's
honesty and integrity.
The disappearance of - the watch,
i'b judge concluded, would ever re
main a mystery, and dismissed it
from" his mind.
Six . months thereafter the. uncle
and aunt ca.ne into the. office and,
i-i tears, apologized for their con
duct toward Floyd and the court.
They had just receive letter from
the seed house to which Ihey cu
ttmarily sold seeds, saying that a
beftutlful. ladies' wrist-watch had
been found in one of the sacks of
I ciihs they r-nd 'shipped. If it was
theirs. he .5eed company would be
glad to return II by Insured parcel
Auntie then-remembered that on
thy mornlrig of the Sunday Floyd
and his parents visited the farm, her
husband had asked her1 to hold the
jsacks as he filled them with beans.
Taking off iier wrist-watch to pre
vent any possible injury to it, ne
had placed :t in her apron pocket,
from which it slipped into a bag of
lx.-i.ns. and lay, unharmed and un
noticed, until the seed house em
ployee found it.
Often, not seldom, a judge must
decide between the word of an adult
and. that of a child. Misunderstand
ings such as this so easily occur that
patents, teachers and judges should
hesitate to' accuse a child of theft.
In known c-avps, parents and police
officers have brutally whipped boys
to force confessions, only to learn
later, much to their sorrow, that
the youngsters never committed the
t'ansgressions for which they were
?o outrageously punished.
