PAGE FOUR THE JOURNAU, PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA THURSDAY, JANUARY 2S, 1945 CITY COUNCIL APPROVES CHANGES IN WARDS OF CITY -TWO WARDS The city council at its session Mon- bridges committee to use the city day evening voted to change the present set up of five wards for the city, to two only, this being im bodied in ordinance No. 783 that was placed on its second and third readings and under the suspension of the rules adopted. The ordinance provides that all that part of the city lying north of Main street and to the city limits, r.hall be the first ward, and all that section of the city south of Main truck in hauling the tin from the school grounds where it is to be col lected. The parks and improvement com mittee was given power to have the water system in the basement of the city hall adjusted if they found necessary. Residents of Oakinont addition to the city presented a petition asking for the installing of two new lights along the drive through that addi- street, to the city limits, shall be tion and for the moving of a light the second ward. Each ward will have I on Chicago avenue to near the en- two councilmen. The ordinance while parsed cannot be effective until in 1946 when the mayor and members of the council expire. Councilmen elected this com ing spring will be for the term of one year only. The council al-o heard the read ing of a proposed ordinance cover ing the regulation and inspection of the places in the city where food is sold, the measure calling for regula tion as to the handling of the food for sanitation. This was referred to the judiciary committee for further action. Chairman Schneider of the tax and property committee brought up the matter of resident of property that the city had tax certificates upon, being allowed to pay off the delinquent taxes in small payments. This plan had been approved in cth Church Group Is Building Attractive Downtown Center One of the Small Buildings in the 400 Block Being Made Into Club, rooms For a great many years the small one story building on the north side of Main street, from 4th to 5th, stood idle .and unoccupied until one after another received remodeling and become useable business buildings.

Councilman Vroman brought up the matter of large trucks parking near the Wimpy Inn on Chicago avenue, the trucks without light and making a dangerous condition. There is ample parking space provided by the Inn but the drivers park out into the main highway. The police were notified to look after this con dition.

The hunters will meet at the junc tion of highways No. 1 and 50, west of Murray at 1 :30 o'clock Sunday afternoon. The west and north lines will meet at the corner east of the Immanuel Lutheran church. An added feature will be the fact that two "cub" planes will probably! be on hand from Omaha to partici pate in the hunt and to observe the coyotes from the air. Trucks will leave the court house in this city at 1 o'clock Sunday and take the hunters to the scene of the hunt. The proceeds of the hunt will go to the American Red Cross. cation: Philpot, Orviile M., 2-B Kuhn, Glen J., 2-A (F) Wolfe, Robert E., 2-B (F) Tyner, Claude C, 4-A Kalasek, John F., 1-A Renter, Ernest M., 1-C (Ind) Cook, Robert M., 2-A (F) Brandt, Raymond 1-A Beckclman, Emmett C, 1-C (Ind) Graham, Arthur, W., 1-C (Ind) Campbell, Geo.

Fauquet, two traffic cases were filed bv the state I Biuns Mrs. Mary Parker, 73, who has been critically ill for the past week, passed away Monday night at the home of her daughter Mrs. Elizabeth The last of these buildings was that located just east of the Dwyer building, this finally attracting the attention of Rt. .Rev Monsignor George Agius, pastor of the St. John's church, who conceived the idea of a downtwn hall or center for the use of his parish. He carried the idea farther, made the purchase of the building on his own intiative. Securing the building, Monsignor Agius then placed the proposition up to the members of his church organi zations, finding a ready response, the result that the building is rapidly beng remodeled and made a place that will be invaluable to the church people, as well as the community. The building will be known in the future as the St. John's Hall, de voted to the activities of the parish outside of the church itself. While there is still a great deal of work to be carried out, the trans formation on the interior of the building has been wonderful. Frank Konfrst was called in to do the carpenter work, Emmett Rice the plastering and James Wondra. the electrical work. John Libershal.l who looks, after the church property, added his part and has been busy in getting the work lined up so that the building might be complete. It was necessary to pipe water and gas into the building and this has been done. While the painting and several other finishing touches must be made, the structure is now nearing its final completion. At the south front of the build ing there is a good sized room that can be used for larger meetings and that may be enlarged by the use of the room to the north that will be curtained off when not needed and used for the smaller group meetings. The north end of the building is devoted to the kitchen where the ladies of the church have taken over and really are going to town. They have secured the necessary equip ment for the kitchen use, stoves and steam table being already on the scene, awaiting installing.A part of this kitchen equipment was secured through Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Langer from ther former restaurant equip ment. The ladies are securing a full set of dishes and other needed arti cles for making this a real up to the minute place for preparing luncheons when needed. The rooms are to have .fluorescent lighting throughout and will be pro vided with the rest rooms and all necessary accomodations for those who use the building. "One Square" a Day at School Did you know there's a movement afoot to stamp out "lopsided" eat ing habits in this country? It's part of the Food Fights For Freedom pro gram which is starting a drive for better breakfasts and better lunch es, especially in homes having war workers and school children. One of the main ideas is to dis courage the habit of sending children off to school with coffee and a roll for breakfast; a sandwich and piece of cake in their lunch boxes, and then piling most af the day's food into an evening meal. True, this system allows the homemaker to concentrate on making the evening meal a "super'' one, but most likely her family will come out on the short side, nutritionally speaking. Nutrition experts say that each meal ought to carry its share of daily food requirements, so efforts are being made to make mothers con scious of the meal which starts off the day for their families, and to follow through at lunch time. Odds Against Some But when it comes to lunch for school children, many mothers have the cards stacked agains them. They are the mothers whose children ride on buses to attend school in neigh boring towns, or who for some reas on can't come home for lunch. These mothers must either pack one-third of their children's daily food needs in a lunch pail, or else the child will go on eating in a "lopsided' fash ion, unless something is done about his lunch at school. This is where the community school lunch program fits into the picture. Under its plan if a type A lunch is served, the child is provided with about one third of his daily nutritional re quirements. This lunch provides at least one-half pint of milk; 2 ounces of meat or meat alternate; cup of a vegetable or fruit; whole grain or enriched bread or rolls, and 2 teaspoons of butter or fortified Rotarians Pay Lewiston Visit Tuesday Night Rural-Urban Meeting Held at Community Center Ladies Serve Very Fine Dinner Tuesday evening the Plattsmouth Rotary club paid a visit to the Lewiston Community center, south of this city where they were hosts to an equal number of the farmers of that section of Cass county. The ladies of the community had arranged a chicken dinner that was greatly enjoyed by all of the party, proving a fine treat. The meeting was in charge of Arthur Troop and was an occasion that all enjoyed, the men getting togeiner in a social way tnat is characteristic of the Rotarian ob jectives. Mr. Troop presented Prof. Fro- lich of the experiment station of the University of Nebraska, one of the well known authorities on farm ing and crop production. The speaker discussed the produc tion of crops, the necessity for the rotation of the crops, also the mat ter of securing proper seeds for the planting season to produce the best results.

LEARNS OF DEATH Entertains for Visiting Sailor The home of Mr. and Mrs. G. O.

That the school lunch plays a vital role in the efficient feeding of young America was recognized by the Congress and the President when J $50,000,000 was appropriated again i this year to assure the War Food, Administration funds to help schools needing financial aid in carrying out their locally sponsored program. Local gruons must have the same high regard for the program, for it is largely by the efforts of such as local school boards, parent teacher groups, church and civic organiza tions, that better lunches have been made available in local schools of high school level or under. Unseen Results But the virtue of the school lunch program doesn't stop at providing the child with a better lunch. The program has a whole set of virtues. One of them lies in the tendency of children to imitiate at home what is learned in school. Better eating habits learned in school and brought home may mean the school lunch program will lead indirectly to a better fed adult popu lation. Purchase by local sponsors of nu tritious food locally abundant, for use in the school lunch program, also provides a welcome market for lo cal producers, but in a larger sense it means more, for it is an import ant part of the school lunch pro gram which marks a step forward in the drive to give American school children "three squares' a day, so they won't feel "kinda hungry" all day at school, and "stuffed" after dinner in the evening.
