Local Young
Lady Home from
- the West Coast
Enjoys Meeting Prominent U. S. Doc
tor and Japanese American-Born
Wife in California.
Miss Helen Smetana, daughter ot
Mr. and Mrs. Alois Smetana and sec
retary of the J... W. Egenberger
Agency, returned home Saturday. eve
ning following a three weeks' vaca
tion spent on the west coast. Miss
Smetana left Plattsmouth Saturday,
July 1 for Omaha where she was met
by a group of friends whom she acj
companied.
The group covered the northern
route, motoring through Wyoming,
Utah, Nevada, Oregon, and then on
into California. In each of these
states the Plattsmouth young lady
and the Omahans had the opportunity
of witnessing . an outstanding fea
ture of each. While in Nevada they
saw the Boulder Dam. and in Salt
Lake City viewed the Tabernacle, a
beautiful Mormon structure. They
also attended an organ recital in the
tabernacle.
Upon entering California Miss
Smetana went directly to San Pedro,
California where she was a guest of
Miss Ann Sanders. While in Cali
fornia she met and visited with a
number of former Tlattsmouth people.
Among these were Dr. and Mrs.
Thomas Rogers, Mr. and Mrs. Fred
Egenberger, Mr. and Mis. William
Fisher, and Mr. and Mrs. Frank Lind
ner. , One of the most unexpected and
educational features of the trip was
the acquaintance of Dr. and Mrs. E.
Allan Peterson, an acquaintance made
possible through Mr. and Mrs. Lind
ner. It is recalled that it was Dr.
Peterson who made the much-talked
about trip from Shanghai to the
United States in his Chinese Junker In
193S. Dr. Peterson, whose profession
is that of a medical surgeon in Los
Angeles, went to Shanghai for medi
cal research work. While in Shang
hai trouble between China and Japan
broke out and he and his Japanese
wife accompanied by two white Rus
sians, sailed for the U. S. on April
20, 193S in the smallest boat that
ever crossed the northern Pacific. The
boat, which the doctor purchased In
Shanghai for $250, is sixty feet long
and nine feet wide and has" two
masts. The- four passengers -traveled
8.000 miles, ar.d they arrived in the
United States on August 3, 1938 in
the boat which was hand hued by
the Chinese. During their voyage.
Miss Smetana quoted Dr. Peterson .as
saying that they had not contacted a
ship or boat for eighty-five days
before they were given any fresh
food. Before making the trip with
the two white Russians, Dr. Peter
son stated that he had to get per
mission from the American consul
and upon doing so he had to
put up a cash bond of $1,000 for each.
The party landed at San Pedro, Cali
fornia. Dr. Peterson anticipates ship
ping this boat to Houston, Texas,
and later sail on to New Orleans. He
expects to tour the Great Lakes and
then go on to the Olympics in Fin
land and from there to Ireland. Miss
Smetana considered this interview as
the most enjoyable and interesting
part of her entire vacation.
The San Francisco exposition and
the Aimee Semple McPherson Temple
were viewed by the group and they
A-ere able to hear one of Mrs. McPher
son's lectures.
On their return to Plattsmouth
they visited in Portland, Oregon, and
Yellowstone national park, and re
turned to Nebraska Saturday. Miss
Smetana resumed her regular office
duties Monday morning.

The building is being redecorated
in a three tone effect of green and
white with red trimmings and

PAST AND FUTURE
There was once when I was happy,
That was many years ago;
When I was in my childhood.
No sorrows did I know;
When life was all a pleasure,
As it passed from day to day;
The world and all seemed happy,
When I was a child at play.
iWhat little hurts and troubles.
There seemed to be to me. '
Were kissed away, by Mother
Upon my mother's knee;
If one could only realize.
In those younger kiddlsh days,
What future life bad in store.
It would take ail joy from play.
But we grow up with our troubles.
From childhood unto man,
And the meaning cf so many thipgs,
We cannot understand;
We must take them as they come.
Our sorrows, grief, and pain.
iThey are all sent for a purpose.
Some point in life to gain.
When we have all grown older.
And have wrinkles upon our brow,
We look back o'er our childhood life.
And see quite different now;
We say. if we could live It over.
There's things we would like to do,
But the past is gone, yes gone forever.
Yet there's a future, for Me and
You.
When this earthly life is over.
There's a promise to you and me;
We shall again be free from trouble,
As when upon bur mother's knee;
And meet again those dear ones.
Who have passed on long ago;
So let us prepare and be ready.
When our time shall come to go.

Boosters Win by
a 11 to 5 Score
Merchants Start Out Strong But Fail
to Hit Gerard in Critical
Stages of Contest.
The Plattsmouth Merchants lost
the return game with Nebraska City
Sunday, by a score of 11-5.
The Boosters were hitting the ball
and got the most of every hit, and
really took advantage of the Platter
miscues.
The game saw the advent of two
new Merchant hurlers this season
Floyd Thierolf was still out with a
lame foot, and John Jacobs, Les Thim
,an and Gerald Keil did the hurling.
Keil, a lefthander fared the better of
the trio of pitchers.
Plattsmouth started out as if they
would have another victory, by scor
ii:g two runs in the opening inning,
on hits by Hayes and Sedlak, Ault's,
sacrifice and Phillips being safe on an
error. However. Nebraska City came
back in the same inning, and scored
three times and from then on were
never headed.
"Red" Gerard again pitched for the
Boosters and this time held the
battling Merchants in tow Trom the
first inning on, allowing only 5 hits,
while his team was securing 14
safeties at Tlattsmouth's expense.
The big game of the coming week
is to be Thursday evening at 6 o'clock
with Millard of the Elkhorn Valley
league. Fay Spidell does the catching
for this fast aggregation.
