Lester Schrader Named to Cass FHA (Continued from pag-3 1) perienced members'. - The Cass county committee has an important place in making supervised credit available to lo cal farmers, according to L. T. Hanks, county supervisor. Before any money can be bor rowed through the agency an ap plicant must have the approval of the county committee. In the case of farm ownership loans, the farm to be purchased, enlarged or improved must also be ap proved by the committee. "The members know agricultural con ditions in the county, are often familiar with the farm the appli cant plans to operate," Mr. Hanks explained. In addition to approving loans the committee cooperates with the county supervisor in over all administration of the pro gram in the county. Periodically they review the progress of bor rowers to determine whether they have reached a financial position that would enable them to refinance their loans through private lenders. A farmer who is eligible for credit from regular lending sources is not eligible for a loan from the Farmers Home Administration. "Using this system of oper ation, the ' agency has helped many, families in Cass county toward better farming and better living with farm purchase and farm operating loans," Mr. Hanks' said. In the past twelve months 45 applications have been received for this type of credit. John H. Palacek of Omaha was in the city today (Thursday) to visit with his father, John Pala- cek and his sisters at the family home as well as' with the old friends. He is on his vacation at the U.

Attempts to Solve Keene Case Failed The slaying of James M. Keene, 22, well known in Platts mouth and a grandson of Mrs". Mike Kerns, of this city, is still unsolved Omaha officers state all clues have failed to reveal any trace of the parties that shot James Keene to death with a 25 calibre automatic on Seventy second street s'outh of Pacific street. , The shooting was two months ago and the case is no nearer so lution than when first revealed. The persons doing the slaying made their escape through a field near the s'cene and it is believed tore their hand on a wire fence as he fled. Attempts to find the killer ran into blind leads. A leather jacket found near the scene was sent to the FBI at Washington for an analysis, but while the stains were made by human blood, they were too old for typing. No attempt had been made to rob the yoimg cab driver and as far as could be learned from members of the family, he had no enemies but there was one evidently as the crime shows. Former members of the Ma rines in Omaha raised a reward fund of $300 that is still awaiting claimants. Deputy Sheriff Hugh Cutler of the Douglas county sheriff's of fice stated that all attempts at solution had failed but the case was still being investigated and kept alive in the hope of tracing down the guilty pasty. Mrs. Glenn Burns, mother of the slain youth, calls each week at the office of the sheriff at Omaha to learn what progress, if any, had been made in the case. Interviewed as to the case the mother stated: "I'll never give up the hope that Jimmy's' mur derer will be caught," she said. "And when they do find the murderer, I want to talk to him. I want to tell him what an aw ful thing he's done."

Historical Society Has Fine Meeting The Cass County Historical society met on Wednesday at the court house to assist in the form al opening of the new rooms on the third floor that have been placed at the disposal of the so ciety. The rooms help a great deal in making a place for the exhibition of the many historical pictures and articles that have been do nated, but the s'ociety can use a number of articles that no doubt many of the older families of the county have stored away in their homes that would be of untold i value to the people of Cass coun ty in the years to come.
