Bargain Travel Checked by Heavy Snow of Saturday Through But Services Cut Sunday and Many County Roads Re ported Blocked. The heavy snow that fell through the mid-central states on Saturday placed an effective bar on the usual heavy Sunday auto traffic by closing roads and making the travel even when necessary far from pleasant. One of the sections hardest hit in ihe &ncw storm was that surround irp, Kansas City, where t lie storm had reached blizzard proportions. The snov.- through that section was so heavy that bus service.-, between Hid Kansas City was closed Sunday. Th; southbound bus of the Inter state company leaving lute at mil night Saturday, was able to reach Falls City, but from there south the snow had blocked the highway. The bus returned to Omaha Sunday after noon to pick up passengers from Falls City north. The storm did not seriously a:ect the train service and which was rolling on the regular schedules dur ing the day. East and west roads in the coun try were reported as well blocked by the snow and fanned by the stiff breeze Sunday to make travel ex tremely difficult. But few residents from the farming districts braved the bad road conditions to drive into this city. Most of the important Nebraska highways were kept open by the work of the state highway depart ment, snow ploys and maintainers being in use all day in clearing the drifting snow. MERIT PLAN APPROVED LOCALLY Opposition to a merit system for county assistance workers made re cently by the Douglas county as sistance committee, is not approved by members of the local assistance staff, the Journal learned today. All members of the Cass county assistance technical staff (director and home visitors) took. and success fully passed a merit examination ii 1938, when most counties in the state voluntarily agreed to the state assistance department's plan for a merit system. All say they are willing to submit to another such examination, in order that partici pation of the state in the federal as sistance program may not be jeo pardized. Fear has been expressed that fed eral funds will be withdrawn from the state unless a uniform personnel system can be established. Withdrawal of federal assistance funds would throw a heavier bur den on the county relief funds, it was said. Because such action would cause drastic reductions in old age assistance, blind assistance and aid to dependent children grants, supple mentary relief grants by the county would be needed, causing a heavy drain on funds appropriated for coun ty relief. LEGION POST PASSES QUOTA The Plattsmouth American Legion post now occupies a place among the posts of the state that have exceeded their quota and will carry on to in crease the membership to a higher figure. This is the first time since 1932 that Hugh J. Kearns post has gone over the top with its membership. In te first years of the organization the ouote was much larger and a neater field offered for membership than at the present time. The membership is now 71 and it is expected tnai mis win ue in creased as a number of those annual ly enrolling have not as yet reported. The success of the drive is due in great deal to the personal efforts of Commander George Conis and the excellent committees that have been in the campaign. Commander Conis has been right on the job and feels well pleased that the eligible vet erans in tne community nave ic- sponded so well to the call of mem bership. VERY HAPPY OCCASIONS Mr. and Mrs. C.
