LETTER BOX The Journal welcomes letters from readers for this column on any subject. Your name must be signed to all articles Intended for publication, however, by request. It can be omitted from the letter appearing in print. (Contents do not necessarily express the opin ions of this newspaper.) Omaha, Nebr. Editor Plattsmouth Journal: I saw in your last edition a picture of a Darling truck wrecking an electrolier and two new autos on your Main street. Now, why should that truck be allowed to unload freight in front of a place of business when it should have been in the alley? And another thing, why are the stores of Plattsmouth having their freight shipped by truck when you have two rail roads serving your town, and so many men working for the rail roads who do their buying from Plattsmouth merchants? When you come to think about it, there are about 400 Burlington men in Plattsmouth besides the "Mop" men, and there are a large number of Union Pacific shop men and people working in the Union Pacific headquarters who do their buying from your Platte mouth merchants. Shouldn't the Plattsmouth merchants give their business to the railroads. If all the railroad people were taken from Platts mouth, the merchants would see the difference. How much do the trucking companies buy in your town and how much taxes do they pay? None at all, when you come to think about it. The railroads can give just as good service as the truck com panies and won't wear out your streets and wreck your property. Yours truly, Railroad Employee Death of Baby At Hospital The many friends of Mr. and Mrs. Leo Brink of this city will regret to learn of the death of their infant daughter, Carol Ann, born Monday, January 30, at the St. Joseph hospital at Omaha, passing away on Wed nesday morning at the hospital. The body was brought here to the Caldwell funeral home at 7th street and Avenue B to await the funeral. It is expected that a short service will be held by Father Tuchek on Friday morning at ten o'clock at the Holy Rosary church and burial will be at the Holy Sepul chre cemetery. The babe was granddaughter of Willard Brink, Sr., and Mr. and Mrs. Earl Harris of this city. Visiting hours at the funeral home will be this evening from 7 to 9 o'clock.

Short, Sr., and. en joying meeting the Plattsmouth friends. Mr. Short is located at Amarillo, Texas, for the present and the family will remain here until they can be located in the south. Widows Are Different OSLO, Norway (UP) Divorc ed women prefer bachelors when they remarry, the Oslo statistical bureau finds. Widows, however, very often marry wi dowers or divorced men, and for many years the figures have been constant, the bureau said. When You Think of SHOES Think of X-RAY FITTING Road Program Of State Set At $15,000,000 F. H. Klietsch, state engineer, stated Monday that at least fifteen million dollars of state and federal money will be avail able for highway construction next year in Nebraska. Of the total, he told the Ne braska Chapter of the Ameri can General Contractors Asso ciation, $1,867,180 has been ob ligated for improvements, and bids on an estimated $2,500,000 of work will be received late next month. In all, the state plans to con tract work for eight million to nine million dollars by July 1, and the balance during the last six months of the year, he said. Mr. Klietsch said so long as new revenue measures the higher gas tax and the motor vehicle license fees remain in effect, and Federal aid money Is available, Nebraska can count on 15 million dollars a year for highway improvements. The money is needed, he said for "a large-scale, all-out effort to build state highways." In creasing use of motor vehicles at higher speeds, the hauling of heavier leads, and highway de ficiencies accumulated during the war have made it essential that Nebraska highways be at tended to, he said. He urged the contractors to "explain and justify the need for continuing the new revenue measures," to be submitted to popular vote next November. Mr. Klietsch said a mil e of road now costs twice as much as during the 16-year period 1S26-41, when the state spent an annual average of $7,500,000 o n highway construction. Therefore, the 15 million dol lars now available is needed merely to keep pace with the past. The gas tax has been raised only 50 per cent, from 4 to 6 cents a gallon, since the 1930's, Mr. Klietsch said, and "most people would call that a bar gain."
