Canaday has written to Dwight Dell, state Christian Rural Overseas program direc tor in Lincoln, suggesting that the Bloomfield project be com bined with the CROP Goodwill Train project this year, since he has found it necessary to make his a hurried trip. - Residents of Kamen have ap plied to the people of Bloomfield to try to help them save their factory which makes railway parts. The plant, which employs I over 100 men, is marked for lm ; mediate dismantling, Canaday reports. Canaday has with him peti ; tions which were circulated in ; Knox county asking that the i town be permitted to retain its facory. He left for Washington Oct. 14 and from there for Frankfort, Germany Oct. 15. '"There we will try our best to do something useful, if only to let our friends in Kamen know that we recognize the injustice of the dismantling of useful in dustries," he wrote. Canaday was dubious about joining the CROP project this fall when he was approached by Dell. He had plans for his own program and had intended to have arrangements made so that he could spend a month cr more in Kamen after the November elections. Kamen's sudden emergency and appeal for help, however, caused him to change his plans and ask that CROP help him out. He expects to be gone two weeks or more in his effort to help Kamen.

It's made of saw dust, coal dust and a tarlike substance, and has six times the heating value of the real thing. It's much cheaper, too. These men work between piles of coal dust and sawdust.

Two of Football Team Win New Hats In the past two years Wes cott's, Plattsmou'ih exclusive clothing store, has made it a policy to each year award a number of hats to members of the football squad that perform certain outstanding service at designated games during the seascn. The firm offered a hat to the player making the first Piatts- mouth score of the season, this j was won by Dan Rohan, captain cf the team in the game with Auburn on September 17th in the Nemaha county city. The firm then offered a hat to the best linesman on the team for the homecoming game here with Wahco on last Friday. The team all played heads up ball and made the task of the judges a difficult one. The committee selected by Coach Merle Stewart had a hard time in determining the winner and finally decided two of the players were such that it, would be necessary to have two hats awarded. The judges selected Carl Ofe and Tom Rohan as the outstanding linesman and the boys will be presented with the champ hats at an early date. The last award will be for the player who makes the last score for the Blue Devils in the years schedule. It is seldom that two brothers are slated for two honors but the Rohan brothers have really won the champ hats. ' Checks Out r- - ' - -1 t : 'Vs-'" :" -.r Fiddlin Family Takes to Road Like music?
