Civic Body Discusses Coming Plans (Continued from Page One) represented to be a 4-H project, in this city, and many expressed their disapproval of ine matter. It was decided that anyone that wished to solicit for anything first get a written notice from the secretary of the Chamber of Commerce that they had reg istered, but Secretary Peck an nounced that he was not giving any official approval to solicita tion. Charles Patch, head of the re tail department of the Chamber of Commerce announced that one of their objectives, a class in retail selling, had been ar ranged for and would start on Monday, March 2?th at 7:30 p. m.

McHUGH ATTORNEY-AT-LAW Office in Corn Growers State Bank Muriock Nebraska Farmers Get Notice of Corn Allotment Notices of farm acreage allot ments for 1950-crop corn were mailed to corn growers in Cass county by the county Produc tion and Marketing Administra tion committee on March 10, 1950. "Each farm was considered separately by the committee," says the chairman, Evan H. Armstrong of Greenwood, Ne braska. "The allotment assigned to each was based on the farm's tillable acreage, crop rotation practices, type of soil and topo graphy, taking into considera tion the relation between the "usual" corn acreage for the county and the number of acres in the county allotment availa ble for distribution to eligible farms. The production data gathered from farmers for the years 1947, 1948 and 1949 was given weight along with the other factors, says Mr. Armstrong. He also points out that consideration was given to the effect of adop tion of an improved conservation farming plan on a farm's "usuar corn acreage during the "base period." "We believe," says Mr. Arm strong, speaking for the com mittee, "that the allotments as finally determined represent the fairest possible distribution cf the acreage available in the county allotment." The chairman points out that any corn producer who has rea son to believe that his farm al lotment has not been properly determined and can offer facts to substantiate his claim, may file an appeal with the county PMA committee for reconsidera tion. "Such appeal must be filed within 15 days after the notice of allotment was mailed from the county office," Mr. Arm strong emphasizes. "Provision is also made for appeal of the county committee decision to the state PMA committee, and director of PMA's grain branch in Washington, D. c, if neces-i sary." j The chairman stressed the fact, however, that all appeals must be filed originally with the county PMA committee.

St. Paf rick's day the world ov;r, v.-as a very quiet one in Plattsmouth, as there are few if any of the Hibernians, who at one time had a large representation in the community, still living here. The most active demonstra tion was the appearance of Ed ward Donat, Sr.. with his famous green vest, imported some fifty years ago from the old world. The vest was borrowed by some one supposedly an Orangeman, three years ago and this year suddenly reappeared on the scene. Older residents of the city in discussing St. Patrick's day, tell of the activities here in the 80's and 90's when there was a very large number of the Irish living that had come with the build ing of the Burlington. In those days there was little labor per formed on the 17th as the resi dents gathered at their favorite spots to recount the valor of the Irish race, and, if necessary, to prove it to the doubters.
