THE JOURNAL, PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA' MONDAY, AUGUST 6, 194S Plattsmouth Committee Passes $15,000 Quota For Masonic Home Fund Plattsmouth Masons Tuesday had passed their original goal of $15,000 in local contributions to ward the $350,000 fund to be raised by Nebraska Masons for additions to the Nebraska Mason ic home for the aged here. Efforts of the local committee were not to be slackened, however and work will continue here with the hope that Plattsmouth will go far beyond its quota, said Henry Schneider, chairman of the committee. Others on the committee are E. II. Bernhardt and Henry Nolt ing. More than $75,000 cash from over the state had been turn ed in to the fund, Wm. F. Ever, superintendent of the home, said Tuesday. Many lodges have not as yet turned in cash although an un estimated amount has been pledged. The move was believed to be gain momentum, however. J The $350,000, when the cam paign has been finished, will be used to construct two four-story additions to the home. The addi tions would eliminate a fire haz ard presented by the older build ings, and permit admission of many additional aged persons. Two wings would be added to the partially completed structure built as an infirmary in 1924 and now used largely for living quar ters for aged persons requiring special care. Members of the 284 Masonic lodges throughout Nebraska have teen asked to contribute and crmmittees named for solicitation in each of the lodges. How long it would take to complete the drive Evers could not estimate Tuesday. "If they would all do as Platts mouth is doing there wouldn't be much to it," Evers said. Throughout the years since the home-was established in 1903 it has been maintained by the grand lodge of Nebraska. The present campaign is the first in which Masons have been asked to make specific contributions to ward a building fund, according to Leslie E. Martin, chairman of the board of trustees, Omaha.

The new order becomes effective Monday, Ed Tutt, chairman of the board said. Persons who have been allotted only five pounds of sucrar for canning and who need more may make application for an additional five pounds by letter or post card. Anyone who has been allotted no sugar for canning may apply for ten pounds, the ration office said. No supplementary allotments will be granted anyone who has received ten pounds or more per person. Much confusion and disappoint ment was caused when OPA on expecte 1-y ordered canning sugar allotments cut to five pounds per persons several weeks ago. Most ration boards were in the process of granting additional five pound allotments to the original five pounds which was available for each person, when the order was rescinded. At that time many persons had already received their extra fiw pounds, others had applications in the processing. Still others who had planned to ask for the sup plementary five pounds were cut out completely. Those whose ap plications had been processed were lucky, those who hadn't ap peared to be out of luck.
