WE SCOTT: "We JbV re ceived a good Tesoonse to our re tnat will be need ed when the pipeline workers ar- A rive in Plattsmouth next TfiDqth. But about 30 percent of the work-- ers will want apartments ana we simplv have no apartments to of fer them.' RORFRT BESTOR: "Platts mouth needs both low-cost housing units and some larger houses.

Hart Meets With Otoe Commissioners To Discuss Roads ORCHIDS Orrhida this week to ROBERT COLE who has won the highest honor that can come to anv ;4-H riK TYiPmbpr in the CornhuKer state a trip to the National 4-H Camn to be held in Wasbineton u. C. this summer. BOB ha a re markable record of outstanding achievements in 4-H Club work and to him we extend our sincere congratulations. r.Qs C n n t V - Commissioner William Hart, of Louisville, met TPPPntlv with the Otoe county commisisoners in Nebraska City to discuss the road improvements proposed by the state department of roads. Eugene Nutzman ana cir son, Gene, acocmpanied Hart to Nebraska City. 'W talked with F. C Smith frnm the state engineers office about the secondary roads that are to be improved," Hart explained. "There was one particular stretch of road, about two miles long, that was scheduled to be improved but there are so few people living on it tnnt vr decided it would be better to fix up a road where more people need it. The Otoe commis sioners were very cooperative and I believe we have an arrangement now that will benefit the most people." BUILDERS NEEDED The problem of obtaining more houses in Plattsmouth remains at the ton of the list of the town's immediate needs. Every day, fam ines who want to live here, want o go into business here aire literally turned away because there is no housing available. There is no argument on the situation. No one denies that houses are needed and are in de mand. There are two main ques tions. They are: Can anything be done about it? And, who's going to do it? The answer to the first ques tion is a straight "yes". But it will not be easy. It will take plan nine and oreanization. It will pro bably have to be done throueh gov ernment priorities received from the Federal Housing Administra tion. And it will have to be done soon. Plattsmouth missed the boat completely as far as obtaining movable units from the govern ment is concerned. The town need not be left, in the cold a second time. ' And who is goine to do it? It will require an individual or iowid with capital, and an interest and stake in the town's future. It will reauire someone willing to take hold of the complexities of the situation and try to straighten them out for the common good.
