THE PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA, SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL PAGE SIX Thursday, September 23, 1948 Hillcrest Home Well Operated Hearing Shows (Continued from Page One) Senator W. A. Metzgcr stated that he had made a personal in vestigation of the Home and found it in fine shape, visiting everyone of the rooms it was found that the linen on the beds was clean, the kitchen was the best and a personal examination cf the trays on which food was served individually to the pa tients were clean, as he had made close examination of them. He had found the patients treated kindly, and a great affection and appreciation apparently for Mrs. Cox as she had led him through the- rooms of the home. The exercise yard was well con ducted and only one patient was restrained on account of her vio lent disposition. Mr. Metzger stated that all precaution was taken against fire in the build ing and he approved the fire guards in the Home at all time. Commissioner Young explain ed that the county rented the home to Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Cox for $50 a month and had nothing to do with the aclual operation of the Home.

Without this spirit of helpful ness and interest shown in the work it would have been im possible to achieve the great suc cess that the carnival proved to be. There is no praise too great for the fine men and women and children of our community that worked so hard to make the an nual festival a great success. Again I assure you of my deep personal appreciation of our ef forts, each and everv one. HENRY J. DONAT, Chairman of King Korn Karnival Committee. Perhaps the best testimonial of the Home and its operation came from R. H. Ingwerson, who resides at the Home at his own desire. Mr. Ingwerson stated that the food was good, plenty of it. that the kitchen was clean and well maintained. He had been at the Home most of the time in the past year and had seen no one abused. Miss Muir, after hearing the evidence offered, and the appre ciation felt for the efforts of the welfare department and Miss Hall as well as the capable han dling of the Home, suggested that a re-classification of pati ents over the state be made so that they might be placed in Homes where they could be ar ranged in proper grouping. Mrs. Stukel stated that Hill crest was well operated in her ; opinion and gave good service. She told of the difficulty in se- curing help as one of the bad I features of the operating of these I institutions. i The visitors were invited to make a personal call at the Hill crest Home. Funeral of Mrs. Grant Parish Today Funeral services were held this (Thursday) afternoon at 2 o'clock at the Caldwell funeral home at 7 th and Oak street, for Mrs. Grant Parish, who died Monday morning at Phoenix, Arizona. Mrs. Parish was a former resi dent her in her childhood and was brought here to rest in the family lot in Oak Hill cemetery. The services at the chapel were conducted by Charles Allen, reader of the Christian Science church and a number of the rel atives were in attendance at the service. Pall bearers were relatives; Joe Mrasek, Earl Kline, Donald and Howard Mrasek, Edward Egenberger, Vincent Kelly. 1 Mrs. Parish was a cousin of i Mrs. Joe Mrasek and Earl Kline of this city. Circus elephants are usually fe males, because male elephants have uncertain dispositions and might prove dangerous. THOMAS WALKING CO.

Mrs. Jula Wehrbein Tells of Sparrow War Mrs. Julia Wehrbein, of Ben- j nington, wife of Victor Wehr- I bcin, tells in the Douglas County J Gazette of her warfare with the elusive sparrow that make their headquarters around the family home. The description of the bat tle of the sparrows and the housewife is very interesting. "They are bums," of course." Mrs. Wehrbein pointed out. "They do not care for a perma nent residence during the day, but need a place at night to sleep it off. "My cure is as sure as two blocks of wood for killing a mos quito. And in five months I got rid of 40 sparrows on the front porch. "The procedure: Gather about a dozen good, clear-toned cow bells, a five-gallon pail of water and dipper, two long fishing poles. Keep your throat sprayed, the better to yell, and maintain eternal vigilance. "On an average day I turn on the radio as soon as I enter the house to prepare supper. This is for deception. The first scout sparrow, hearing the radio, reas ons that I can hear nothing but the radio and the cream sepa rator. "So he returns to spread the word. The sparrows swoop in on the porch, nearly dislodging it. This rings the bells lor my sig nal. "I drop the stirring spoon, for getting to turn the fire low. As sembling the equipment, I rush out, ring more bells, prod the vines vigorously with the poles, throw water around and yell bloody murder. "The water is fine for the porch vines, by the way, especial ly if it hits them. The sparrows leave immediately and do not re turn for at least 10 minutes. "By keeping up these tactics, until 9:30 or 10, I have complete ly discouraged the sparrows. A minor problem is what to do when there's company and I must be the dignified hostess. "But I can report that after five months, the sparrows are So weak and beaten they do not venture near the porch." Mrs. Wehrbein is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. V. O. Troop of Nehawka and is a former resi dent here. . SPEND DAY IN CITY Mr. and Mrs. Glen Niel and Mrs. Leland Briggs of Omaha were in the city Sunday to visit at the' home of Mr. and Mrs. William Hartwick, parents of the ladies and with the old friends.
