The banquet, held at the Fellow ship room of the Presbyterian church, was one of the most enjoyable events ol" its kind that has been held in the city for many months. The tables were tastefully ar ranged in holiday settings of pine cone3 and cedar sprays as well as the candles to add their charm to the scene. The high school band was present to play the national anthem, "The Star Spangler Banner," this being very appropriate on the 150th anni versary of the adoption of the Bill of Rights.

He is a son of Mr. anad Mrs. Charles Sundquist, the father working here in the Bur lington shops for several years, until the family left here in March, 1902 for the west, where they engaged in farming. The section where they re side is a great potato country and i ;the Idaho potatoes are shipped to all parts of the country. While here Mr. Sundquist visited Plattsmouth Downs Pappio by Score of 36-25 Locals Show Improvement in Play in First Home Game Pappio Stages Third Quarter Rally Trom 'Wednesday's Tinny By BERNARD ULRICH The Plattsmouth basketeers won their first game of the year last night at the local gym by using a good mail to man defense and taking advantage of the breaks that they had. Although they won by eleven points the game was never in the bag even though Pappio was only once ahead and once they were in a stale mate. Bob Reimers looked best for Pappio and Larson, Hilt and Slatin sky led Plattsmouth. The first quarter was very much Plattsmouth's and they held the boys from Pappio without a basket, although they garnered three free throws. And in this quarter many setups were missed by Plattsmouth. Time and again Eratt, Larson and Slatinsky stole the ball from the invaders, only to miss the hoop. In the next canto the floor play of Fobby Reimers stole. He passed the ball to Petersen who scored two bas kets and at the end of the half the score was 19 to 9 in favor of the Blue Devils and the score at the end of the first quarter was 11 to 3 in the locals' favor. But It was a different story at the start of the third quarter and Bobby Reimers saw to it that all he did was score four baskets and a free throw and guard man on the court.

PLAN PRESIDENT'S BALL Miss Anne Knieke, who has been appointed as 1042 Cass county chair man for President Roosevelt's Ball, has named Miss Wilma Swatek as co chairman for the event. The two young ladies will begin to map out Ilans for the gala affair about the first of the year. This year's ball is expected to be largely attended, and it is hoped that proceeds will exceed the amount of last year. This ball is given in order to raise funds for stamping out infantile paralysis. NOTICE Strayed from my place, red heifer, white face, tag No. 3 in ear.
