From Tuesday's Daily Last evening the members of the Junior Chamber of Commerce and a few friends threw dull care away for a passing hour or two. hastening in the pleasant spring twilight to the banks of the Platte river north of the city. Here by this placid stream, slowly flowing into the mighty Mis souri, thence to the sea, the members of the group enjoyed their annual picnic party. The friendly shelter of "The Shack" of W. R. Holly, afforded a fitting place of gathering, where as the twilight faded into night, the members gathered to spend the pass ing time at cards. Finochle, pitch and other of the popular card games served to ffnss the time while merry stories also added their part to the evening's entertainment. Not the least of the features of the evening was the luncheon, one that embraced many of the dainties to tempt the appetite as well as suitable beverages. The Junior Chamber has had a very successful year, one that well deserved the pleasant social time along the Platte. URGE EOXING PROGRAM As a rule, summer weather isn't conducive to thoughts of indoor sports, but this year, everything seems to go backward, or something. Generally, boxing is a fall and win ter sport, yet, there is group of young fellows in Plattsmoutli, who are, even now, preparing for the fall amateur boxing tourneys. At present, it appears that local entries for simon pure boxing, will have to go to Falls City, even for the preliminaries and as so few of them have any means of transportation, the Plattsmoutli entries may be few, in spite of the fact that there are quite a number of local enthusiasts. Some time ago, there was a move ment on foot, to have a license issued to one of the Plattsmouth incor porated organizations and have pre liminary tourneys right here at home. This plan has seemingly floundered and nothing appears to have been done about it lately. Why can't some of the local club men or business men, jump in and help Waldemar Soenniehsen get this plan going and get former world's champion, Kid Graves to prepare a contingent of Plattsmouth's young boxers for a fall tourney, here in our home town? ELITE DEVILS TO PLAY FRIDAY The Plattsmouth Blue Devils who drew a bye in the opening round of the state high school baseball tour nament, will meet the winner of the South-Lincoln fray. South is favored to turn back the Lincoln team, encouraging the Blue Devils who defeated South in the first game of the year. If the locals win the South game they will be pitted against the winner of the Tech-Creighton Prep game. The Blue Devils won four and dropped three games in the season, winning twice from Papillion, once from South and Louisville, losing to Omaha Central and twice to Tech. Seniors on the team are Captain C rover Parriott, Gerald Petet, Al bin Chovanec. Joe Noble, Harry Shiffer and Tom Gradoville.

Canning for Health Defense All over Ne braska homemakers are preparing an "all-out" drive for bet ter health. With gardens as the source of supplies and the home kitchens as factories, they are ready to turn out the kind of food their families need to aid defense efforts. America's ability to defend demo cracy rests basically -on physical strength and mental brightness and these in turn rest fundamen tally on the right kind of food. The kinds of food that means year-round balanced diets and the kinds grown in gardens and canned in many of our kitchens. Balanced diets mean fruits and vegetables sum mer and winter, and the surest way to have these is to start canning the first products available. Two products, asparagus and rhu barb, which are oftentimes over looked in the canning program, are in their prime right now and should be given immediate attention. Ex tension circulars !926 and 9927 give explicit directions for canning fruits and vegetables. To retain the color and flavor of rhubarb try one of the following methods: Do not peal rhubarb. Wash and cut into pieces one inch long. Add i as much sugar as rhubarb by measure. Bake until tender. Pack boiling hot. Process in hot water bath five minutes. Another good method is to pre pare as for baking but book in a double boiler. This gives a product with a superior flavor. Pack hot and process 5 minutes. Farm Pacts and Pun Recent developments in cereal chemistry will be discussed on the weekly Farm Facts and Fun radio program this Saturday over a special statewide wireless network. R. M. andrtedt, acting chairman of the agricultural chemistry department at the college of agriculture, will present the information. In addition, there will be a dis cussion about plans for observing Rural Life Sunday throughout Ne braska on May 18. Farm Facts and Funs is heard ?ach Saturday afternoon from 1 un til 1:30. 4-H Club Week June 1 to 7 are the dates for the twenty-sixth annual boys and girls 4-H club week. Varied and interesting programs are being arranged for the morning sessions with educational excursions planned for afternoons. Capacity en rollment centers around four hun dred individuals, so those interested in attending should get their appli cation in right away. Treat That Sorghum It won't be long until some Cass t-ounty farmers will be planting grain or forage sorghums and now is the lime to consider treating the seed for the control of kernel smut. Sorghum seed may appear to be perfectly clean but it may have the seeds of spores of smut clinging to it. Directions for treating and a diagram for treaters are contained in Extension Circular 148, "Seed Treatment for Cereals," which farm ers may obtain from the office. The seed treatment costs about 2 cents a bushel. It is .an inexpensive crop insurance. 4-H Club Enrollments Four-H club enrollment for 1940 throughout the United States sho-.vs an increase over that of the pre vious year. Nearly 1 million boys and girls were listed as 4-H members. The increased enrollment thruout the country reflects more interest in 4-II work. Here in Cass county, a total of 428 boys and girls were in clubs last year. The 1941 enrollment drive is now on and the goal set is 300 members. The 4 "IPs" typify the training of head, hand, heart, and health. Over 8 million boys and girls have been members of 4-H clubs since the work became nationwide with the passage of the Smith-Lever Act of 1914. 4-H club training has had an im portant part in helping young people to assume their responsibilities as citizens and leaders of rural Amer ica. This year, their attention is focused on the program of national defense. Recently organized 4-H clubs here include: Classy Homemakers, Mrs. Sterling Wiles of Weeping Water, leader; Learning to be a Home maker, Mrs. L. W. Rase, Murdock, leader; the Tie-a-Knot Rope club, R. J. Grunwald. Union, leader, and Learning to Cook, Mrs. Leonard Doty. Weeping Water, leader. More Conservation Minded Farmers throughout Nebraska are becoming more conservation minded. For the state as a whole, approx imately 5U times as much acreage of old crop land was seeded so per manent grasses in 1940, as in 1939, according to recordsof those par ticipating in the AAA program each year. Likewise, seed used last year in reseeding old pastures amounted to nearly four times as much as the seed used the previous year, and the acre age of pastures rested in 1940 was 140 per cent of the 1939 figure. Commenting on this development, D. L. Gross, extension agronomist at the Nebraska College cf Agricul ture, said. "No higher type of soil conservation can be carried out than that of putting land back to per manent grass or preserving and im proving grass land that is already established. Nebraska farmers are to be commended for the rapid for ward strides they are taking in this respect." 3-Point Food for Defense Program Local farmers and homemakers co operating in the nationwide food for defense" program will have a three-point goal to work toward. Essentials of a sound program which will benefit both the nation and the individual farm family in clude: (1) Convert feed into food: (2) Grow into livestock. (3) Feed the family for health. "Cooperation in the food-for-de- fense program will not mean any radical change for most Nebraska farm people. It simply means we'll all need to do a little better job then ever before in farming, home making, or 4-II club work. Boys and girls can help by enrolling now in 4-H clubs to learn sound methods, of food production and preservation, good citizepship and healthful liv ing. Homemakers can plan their part by raising more gardens, canning more food, helping cut down on waste, and planning healthful meals for their families. Farmers of course can step up production of such things as pork, dairy and poultry products by good feeding and good management. These are practices which have been emphasized in the Farm-and-Home Living, and Pasture-Forage-Livestock, and 4-H club program. Merchants!
