MRS. '.RACE ELVBON, Ccrrupmdem . x High school commencement is scheduled to be at the Metho dist church on Wednesday even ing, May I 7, and the community picnic. at the school grounds, Friday, May 19. Mr. and Mrs. Carl Ashworth of Grand Island spent three days at the home ol Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Schulte and little Becki Jo, helping thein get i settled in their new home. They are the parents of Mrs. Schulte. A number of ladies from here attended the Eastern Star con vention at Lincoln this week. The Monday storm and flood caused many basements to have i water in them and caused gar- dents to look bad. Stove Creek was at its highest level, and spectators viewed the waters that night. Now things have settled nicely and residents are thankful that it was no worse, but have sympathy for others. Among those stranded by the high waters were Richard Pratt and his grandmother, Mrs. Laura Deles Dernier and her sister, Mrs. Davis. They had been to Lincoln to see the new daugh ter of Richard. They were enter tained at the homes of Mrs. Pansky, and Mrs. Floy Buell and reacned home the next day. Monday was sneak day for the seniors and in companv writh their sponsor, Miss John, they went to Omaha. Drivers of cars for them were Henry Wendt, Lloyd Vogt, and Eldon Oehler king. They visited a number of interesting places, including the World-Herald office, the Grain See IIAROLD C. ELLIOTT Secretary-Treasurer Weeping Water, Nebraska Phone 64 Exchange, The Union Pacific Museum and the Fairmont Ice Cream Co., where they were treated to strawberry sundaes. ! They also drove out to Boystown. a? j FOR THE CLASS ;OF 1950 4 WE'RE ALL ROOTING FOR you.

CAPITOL NEWS LINCOLN The. possibility of a special session of the Nebras ka legislature has been raised in the wake of the state's worst floods in nearly half a century. Gov. Val Peterson said at week's end that he was consid ering the possibility of sum moning the senators to Lin coln to pass an appropriation to repair and replace scores of bridges weakened or washed away in the floods. The governor asked the coun ty commissioners of ten south eastern Nebraska counties to furnish reports "as soon as pos sible" on the bridee damaee j situation in their areas. The counties are Lancaster, Saund ers, Cass, Otoe. Nemaha. Gase. Saline, Pawnee, Johnson and Richardson. Peterson also requested infor mation on the counties' ability to pay lor bridge work. Federal authorities, the Gover nor said, had told him no U. s. funds are available to build per manent structures such as bridges, without specific con gressional approval. Earlier, the governor had naid high tribute to the part played in flood rescue work by the Ne braska National Guard. Peterson reminded his npws conference of the disaster plan which grew out of Operation Snowbound by which the guard automatically called to duty in an emergency when a eountv sheriff requests aid from the adjutant general. The first call for assistance in last week's flood came from Lin coln at 10:30 D. m. Mondav Rv 10:45, guardsmen were on rintv and 15 minutes later, men and army "ducks" were in the flood V, - : T " ? -. x : i. ... .-" . - fail' Tr&ii SPRIXTER . . .

Caldwell Funeral MS n former Dakota County school superintendent and former may or of South Sioux City. Though Reed said his job would keep him from waging an active campaign, observers look for one of the most spirited bat tles of the campaign in the race for the non-political, four-year job. A member of the Nebraska Press Association staff last week rode across Nebraska on the special train of President Truman. Here are some of his observations: "I watched Truman campaign i in lo wa during 1948 and while his Nebraska tour smacked of the same cockiness and good humor he displayed then, there were no shouts of "Give 'em hell, Harry!" or "Pour it on!" during last week's junket. "Most of the audiences were people drawn more by a desire to see a President of the United States, than because they agreed with what Mr. Truman was say ing. "Here at Lincoln, the event was almost literally a washout and that was a big disappoint ment to the presidential staff. They felt the Brannan plan de fense was one of the best of Mr. Truman's speeches. This view was shared by some opponents of the plan, who were open in their delight that a downpour and faulty public address system kept the throng from hearing much of what the chief execu tive said. "Throughout the rest of the night, at every stop, Mr. Tru man referred to his Lincoln speech and asked his listeners to read about it in their newspap ers. "It wasn't until the last ap pearance in the state that Mr. Truman referred to the problem of world peace in a talk at Sene ca. Because of the lateness of the hour, most papers had gone to press and the remarks were largely unpublished. "Tonight,' the president said. T want to talk with you briefly about the greatest problem we have today. That nroblem is how to obtain world peace.' '"Some people foreet that what we do here at home has a direct bearing on whether there will be peace in the world or not. Peace depends on our stay ing strong, and remaining pros perous, and making constant im provements in our democracy. That is why we need to see that business and industry continue to grow. That is why it is so important for us to press for ward with better housing, better health, better schools for all our people. That is why it is so im- j portant that we.have strong and ! prosperous farms. j "In all. Mr. Truman talked to I something over 25,000 Nebras-! kans. It was his birthday. De spite the rain which fell at al most every stop, the crowds were good-natured and applauded and cheered his appearance. "And the cheers were just as i loud when he introduced "the boss," Mrs. Truman, and their daughter, Margaret."
