From coast to coast patriotic citizens, consumers and retailers alike, are waging neigh borhood campaigns against rising prices. They are determined to keep down the cost of living ... to stamp out black markets in food .... to "hold the price line" in their communities Your government has taken two important steps to eliminate increases in food prices and to assure everyone a fair share of food. Essential foods have been rationed. Top legal prices have been established on practically every essential food item in the family market basket These are wartime prices for your community. The American housewife is making it her personal war job to keep down the cost of living. Now she knows what she should pay for things! She has made the Home Front Pledge and she is dedicating herself to make it work every day! She watches for the published list of top legal prices for her community, clips them out of her newspaper, and carries them with her when she shops. It's her responsibility to check her dealer's selling prices against the top legal prices. She knows that. And she is doing it faithfully! The retailer is giving his full support to this program. He is working side by side with consumers to uphold the principles of the Home Front Pledge. It is his defense against dishonest dealers. By giving ration goods only in return for ration stamps he guards himself against profiteers and black market operators. And he is able to keep his own shelves well stocked! Visible prices protect him as well as his customers. We are all on the firing line at home in the fight against rising prices. It's up to every one of us to help to protect the value of the American dollar to preserve our present way of life to plan for a sound economy in the future. Let's keep faith with our fighting men by keeping our home front strong. This is one contribution you can make to the war effort, within your own community. Team up today! Join the Home Front Pledge Army. Your community needs your support! The Plattsmouth Journal Commissioners Proceedings Cass County, Nebr.

Ash land made several attempts but fail ed to make any yardage so they kicked to their 40 where Plattsmouth took over the ball. Due to numerous losses by penalties, the "Platters" kicked and Ashland received the ball on their own 12. The stubborn for ward wall of the Platters caused Ash land to kick off to the Plattsmouth T.O-yard line where the latter with successive end runs carried the ball across the goal, making the score 6-0, the touchdown being made by Capt. Ed. Gradoville. The attempt to make the extra point was a failure so the score remained C-0. The sec ond kickoff was kicked out of bounds on the Ashland 45, and from there, Ashland took over the posses sion of the pigskin and since numer ous attempts yielded no gain, they kicked, Plattsmouth taking the ball on heir own 40-yard line. The first quarter ended with Plattsmouth in possesion of the ball cn the 50-yard line. Platts then kicked to Ashland's to become one of the numerous penalties the former received during the game. It was in the second quarter that the Platters lest one of the titles when they had a first down scored against them. Ed Gradoville intercepted a pass attempted by Ashland, and ran it back to their 40. A pass was com pleted from Eaton to Joe Gradoville who carried it over apparently (to the crowd anyway,) making another touchdown. The enthusiastic cheers of the spectators reluctantly turned into grumbles and groans as the run was called back 5 yards due to field motion. For the second touchdown.

Sayles County Clerk successfully kicked the ball over and made the extra point. Again riattsmouth kicked where they were stopped on our 12. An other touchdown was bagged in the last minutes of the second quarter when Eaton raced over for the third touchdown. The score was now patter landing at 17-ft. Joe Gradoville tried to place kick for the extra point but it proved a. failure. Ashland re turned the kick off to the 18-yard line when the whistle shrieked, de claring the nd of the second quar ter. At the start of the third quarter Plattsmouh kicked off again to Ash land where the latter was downed on their 10-yard line. Futile attempts on the Platter's line forced the Ash land eleven to kick again to their 25. Thfc Blue and White took over the ball on the 25 from where in just two plays Joe Gradoville trounc ed over the Ashland goal making the first touchdown in the second half, boosting the score to 25. The extra point was attemped by a forward pass from Eaton to Livington but was incomplete. Plattsmouth kicked off where the ball was brought back to their ((Ashland's) 35. Again Ashland tried to complete a pass but it was intercepted by Ed Gradoville of the Blue and White, who carried it back 23 yards. The Platters after threatening to score again, lost the ball on a fumble. Ed Gradoville after just losing the ball, regained it when Ashand attempted another pass. From our 6-yard line, Ed took the "leather bit" over-to raiBe the score 31-0. The extra point was attempted by Joe Gradoville's place kicking completed, making the score 32-0. For another time Platts kicked down into the territory of ' Ashland, just as the third quarter ended. Ashland being . penalized, were brought to their, 4-yard line, from where they tried 3 passes, and none being successful, they , kicked, and Joe Gradoville broke the pant for the Platters by recovering and fall ing on the ball behind the goal posts, still boosting the score, as well as converting the extra point by a place kiek, making the tally 30-0. For the last time, . Platts kicked to Ashland. The latter took the ball and made another 15 yards on pen alty, thus giving them the first down. Subs were sent In in the firet part of the fourth quarter, replacing the front wall of the Blue and White of the Plattsmouth eleven. Soon, the first string " returned to duty, immediately stopped the for ward movement, and forced Ashland to kick. Ed Gradoville caught the punt and carried . the ball back to Ashland's 25. Due to penalties, Platts mouth was forced to kick, where they did so back to the Ashland 40. Thus the game ended with the score 39-0, adding another rung to the "Blue Devils' " ladder of success ful football year. All in all, the Plattsmouth forward wall did its best work of the season, and the block ing and tackling of the team was sharp and wonderfully efficient and effective.
