Attendance At Papillion Meeting Monday Small Because of Bad Weather Despite the heavy snow storm of Monday, the organization meeting of the Victory Home and Garden pro gram held at Papillion, with the assistance of G. W. Erickson, county Extension agent, made plans for the fulfillment of this activity In Sarpy county. As many who were expected at the conference were prevented from at tending the meeting by the heavy snow fall, it was decided by those present to hold local meetings and the following places and dates were set: Feb. 26 Thursday Gretna City Hall. 10: a. m.; Springfield Library, 2 p. m.; Papillion Court House, 2 p. m., and Bellevue High School at S p. m. All who are interested in this all out program for production of suffi cient food stuffs in home gardens to ease the burden caused by the great demand of our armed forces, as well as those of the united nations, upon the packing facilities of the country, are urged to attend these meetings. This great demand on the com mercial packers'is manfest in many ways, one of which is the impending shortage of tin for cans, and all home packed fruits and vegetable will greatly aid the nation in this hour of national need. In fact, it is claimed by some that the very out come of the war depends on the pro duction and conservation of garden stuffs by all those who are able Land have available or can procure ground for home gardens. County Agent Erickson asks for a good turn-out at the meeting this evening in the local High School at S o'clock, and says that the whole of the all-out program will be taken up. BELLEVUE COMMERCIAL CLUB The regular meeting of the Belle vue Commercial club was held Tues day evening at the city hall. In the absence of President Cockrel. the meeting was presided over by W. II. Shallcross, vice-president. The report from the lied Cross shows that Bellevue had gone over the top for the war drive, their quota being $400. The county, whose rjuota was $1700, turned in $2500. This report was given by Elmer Johnson, chairman for Bellevue. The matter was also brought up of renting or buying the American Legion hall for a meeting place. Since the WPA is using the second floor of the city hall, the club has no place to meet. A committee was appointed consisting of II(yt Free man, chairman; Wilbur Shaffer and S. W. Steffan. to see if the Legion building couldn't be bought or rent ed. Clarence Frazer, treasurer, report ed that to date there was $200 in the treasury, and it was decided to get out a book on Bellevue, includ ing a director This matter is in charge of Randall Eiart and Fred Lease. Due to the weather there were only 17 at the meeting this month, but it is hoped that more of the members will be able to turn ot for the March meeting. h LUGSCH GLEANERS PLATTSMOUTH PICKUP AND DELIVERY SERVICE IN BELLEVUE MONDAY, WEDNESDAY and FRIDAYS TWO PLAIN GARMENTS $-fl 25 SPECIAL . . -B- Leave Bundles or Advise BELLEVUE BARBER SHOP OR ROBERTS' BELLEVUE DRUGS On the Boulevard, at 20th Telephone No. 1 Our Truck will Call Ft"" V: :' 1 O " A iA if i ilium immiA WjLJ LAIRD CREGAR" the 300-pcmnder who, as Gestapo chief dogging Michele Morgan and Paul Henreld In RKO Radio's "Joan of Paris," playg a role as heavy as himself, 1b on the upbeat in Hollywood . . . yet only 18 months ago he was camping out at night on tho back seat of a friend's sedan.

Cregar, when 8, was sent to Winchester School, Eng., where he spent two years. He played boy parts with Stratford-on-Avon Play ers during vacations. Returning, he attended Winchester Academy, Longport, N. J., and later entered Episcopal Academy, Philadelphia, He appeared in all theatrical pro ductions of both schools, and also wrote numerous plays, seven of which were presented by school dramatic clubs. This won him a scholarship at the Pasadena (Cal.) Community Playhouse. Cregar went back to Philadelphia and a job in the Federal Theatre in 1937, returning to the Pasadena Play house in 1939. When rcting jobs faded, other jobs passed him by for lesser men, and he slept in the sedan.
