VISIT KMA JUBILEE The KM A jubilee at Shenandoah, Iowa, has attracted a large number the past few days to enjoy the fine program arranged and seeing the pancake eating contest which was one of the features. Fridav Mrs. Caesar Baumgart, Mrs. Norman Renner and Mrs. John Jordan motored over to enjoy the day and report a very large crowd and a fine entertainment. The local ladies were pleased to learn from Frank Field that the visit of Mr. May and himself here last week had given them some very valuable Ideas on the operation of the jubilee. They had visited the Plattsmouth flower show and, im pressed by the fine manner of ar rangements and the large array of flowers and plants shown, had plan ned their show along the same lines. SHOWING MUCH IMPROVEMENT From Saturday's Part Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Tippens were down in the business section of the city today to greet their fr'.ends after their return from Chicago where Mrs. Tippens has been under going dental treatment. They had one of the leading specialists In teeth to care for the case and the re sult has been very pleasing. Mrs. Tippens is now feeling much better and it Is hoped will be back In her former good health. RETURN FROM IOWA TRIP From Saturday's Patty Mr. and Mrs. Charles M.

CCC Boys Can Perform Vital Battle Work Husky Youths Know Army Routine; Ready to Repair, Drive Tanks, Lay Phone Lines, Etc. Weep no more because the hoys of the CCC have not been trained in the manual of arms and close-order drill. They have learned other things that make them more vital cogs in the system of national defense, that make them in fact, men too valu able to be handed a gun and sent into the front lines. If war comes, the men of the CCC will be specialists in a dozen fields, masters of noncombatant technique as vital to the carrying on of con flict as firing a rifle or machine gun. Here are the things they know that make them soldiers already, in fact if not in name: They know how to live together in barracks, under discipline that is as rigid as that of an army camp even if punishment is less severe. Any psychiatrist can tell you this alone is an important factor in the making of a soldier. Thousands of them know minutely the workings of engines, and how to tear them down and rebuild them in a hurry. Modern war travels on its machines, and the CCC mechanic would fit perfectly into the person nel of a mechanized division. A tank is only an armed and armored tractor, and the CCC mechanic who knows the workings of a caterpillar would find the motive machinery of a tank no puzzle. Many of them are expert drivers of heavy tractor. There is little dif ference in the process of driving a tractor and driving a tank. Many of them are expert drivers of transport trucks. It is the same truck, loaded and handled by the same military rules, as the truck a soldier-driver would handle. Many of them are expert welders. There is no difference in patching the steel flanks of a tractor torn by a landslide and patching the steel flank of a tank torn by a shell. Many of them are expert telephone men. There is no difference In lay ing an emergency line from a CCC camp to a fire-fighting crew in the woods and In laying a line from a command post to an observation out post in no man's land no difference except the danger of death, and not even the army can train its men under actual battle conditions. Many of them are expert wood workers, and there is no difference in the tools and techniques vsed ir mcklng wooden frames for truck cabs and the tools and technique? used in making wooden pontoons for bridges. Many of them have better than a fundamental knowledge 'of the use of surveyors' Instruments and the techniques of throwing a temporary span across a stream. There is no difference in their talents in these lines and the talents of the German "pionieres" who kept the mechan ized troops of Hitler moving even though bridges were down in their path. Many of them know the operation of field radios, having been trained in this task by fighting fires. There Is no difference in their knowledge here and the knowledge of a signal corps man In the army. There are even parachute experts among them. In the far northwest CCC men have been trained to Jump FEED YOUR HENS TO LAY In the feed which you put out for your laying birds there must be a good supply of the elements needed for egg produc tion. Gooch's Best Lay ing Mash fed along with your grain will supply the necessary vitamins and minerals needed. We recommend GOOCH'S BEST and feel you will be pleased with results it gives. Remember, it comes packed in usable dress-goods bags good quality fabrics with which you can make many useful ar ticles for the home or to be worn by yourself or members of your family. PLATTSMOUTH CREAMERY LOWER MAID St. PH0KEO4 from planes to fight small isolated fires in backwoods areas where no truck trails lead. They are supplied by planes dropping equipment packs and keep In touch with headquarters by portable radios. There are expert photographers among them, and mapping a forest area by photography is little differ ent from mapping a battle terrain. Know First Aid They all know first aid. There Is no difference in patching the leg of a comrade struck by a splinter of shell and in patching the leg of a comrad gashed by a falling rock. Some of them are expert carpen ters. The barracks they build for themselves are no different from the barracks they might be called upon to build If war came. There are expert cooks among them. They cook the standard army ration on the standard army range, with the standard army utensils. They observe the army standards of cleanliness and of order at table. They have been soldiers all along, whether they knew it or not. They are soldiers now trained in every thing but the techniques of slaugh ter. The day of a CCC enrollee, fol lowed from dawn to dark, shows clearly how close their lives parallel the life of a soldier In camp. They rise at 5: SO to the notes of a whistle instead of a bugle. They dress in the same fatigue clothes that a soldier would wear. They sro through the same calisthenics that a company of soldiers would go through. They go in to breakfast at 6 o'clock the same breakfast they would get in an army camp. At 6:30 lhey police the camp, the same rou tine a soldier would follow, even down to making the beds and fold ing the covers back in the regulation West Point fold. They stand to for roll call, Just as tne soiuier answers una can. Even the terminology of the army is used. A company is a company, md though a squad is a "crew." the man who heads It may be on the books as "assistant leader," but to the men he is a corporal. By the lame token the "senior leader" may draw his pay under that title, but o officers and men alike he is "first sergeant." At 7:05 they load into trucks, to be hauled to road or forest for their lob. If they were troops, entrucking to be hauled up to the battleline they would not vary this routine one whit. 1 Mess is hauled to them on the iob, and tliey eat from the same messkit that a soldier uses. The food brought up to them in the :ame niarmite cons that would be lsed by an army field kitchen send- ng grub up to the front. At 3:45 they are back In camp. to take up again a routine almost exactly like that of the army. They o to school at night, to study the specialties for which they have shown talent. They read or relax in a recreation hall. They turn in at 9: SO when the "lights out" whistle blows. One might well wonder Just how many men have been trained in these special techniques that could so quickly be converted to wartime use. "Happy Days," the national weekly newspaper for the conservation corns. published at Washington, tells the story. What Has Been Itone There are 1.500 CCC cnmp. There are 44 central repair shops now training 2.000 skilled mechanics, and there will be 63 by fall. In addition, each of the 1,500 camps has It own garage, giving basic mcchnntrnl training to 9,000 men a year. Thero are 4,000 pieces of automotive equip ment operated by enroloes. A total of 72.000 of them a year lenrn to operate trucks, tractors, bull-rioters, drag lines and scrapes. More men learn than are used In nrttinl not ation of machinery. In 1939. 45.- 000 learned to drive trucks nnd trac tors, 40,000 learned how to replr them, 17,000 learned blackenilthliig and 8.000 learned electric welding.

A CCC cook is as good as any to keep that stomach filled. Last year alone 52,000 men learn ed first aid. Since the CCC was founded 300,000 have graduated. There are 3,000 CCC medical aides and orderlies in camp hospitals. As engineers they have built 114, 000 miles of roads over the rough est terrain in the United States. They have spanned streams with 7,000 bridges. As communications men they have laid 79,000 miles of tele phone wire through rough country. They have been trained in short wave radio operation until now there are 18,000 of them who know this important war-time technique. There are 26,000 photographers among them. Let there be no feeling the nation has failed to help defend itself by not training the CCC in the manual of arms and close-order drill. MANY ATTEND MEETING Prom Friday's Patty Last evening a large number from this city attended the republican rally at Omaha at which Wendell Willkie, presidential nominee, was the chief speaker. They report Mr. Willkie as being impressive and forceful in his remarks and parti cularly in the part where he depart ed from the prepared speech.

A. Schneider and Thornton Eaker. SCOUTS HAVE OUTING Friday afternoon six of the boys working , for their advancement In the troop of Boy Scouts sponsored by the Christian church, were at Camp Wheeler. The boys with their leader.
