Sun. 2:30 Nights 7 & 9:15 17 L isms A nice note from Mrs. Belle Hay, of West Los Angeles, Calif., requesting The Journal be mailed to her address. Mrs. Hay, as many folks here will remem ber, is a niece of Mrs. C. R. Troop and sister of Mrs. W. O. Troop. We appreciated greatly adding Mrs. Hay's name to our ever growing list of readers, but she made us Just a little bit en vious when she added that weather their had been beauti ful and they had enjoyed peas, radishes and lettuce from their own gardens for over a month. We here in Cass county may not get started on nice weather as quickly as our friends out in California, but we'll certainlv show them up when we start into the home stretch the first of next month. Our radishes, peas and lettuce will be a little more wholesome, although de layed, we remember one of our friends out on the coast saying once that if California had Ne braska's soil he would believe he had reached the "Promised Land." We can't use the exact words of this ex-Nebraskan due to postal regulations and gen tleness of many of our read ers, but with a few variations it went something like this: "To grow anything in California you need one shower of rain to five showers of fertilizer." A note from Oliver Hudson, another fine Plattsmouth citi zen who fell victim to Pacific Coast advertising brochures, states - they are enjoying ex cellent health and fine weather. Which, this Thursday morning is most unwelcome news with two inches of snow on the ground and wind creeping up your pants leg. That's one nice thing about a Nebraska Cham ber of Commerce, no one is ever censored for reporting the weather. A number of localites have called our attention to a letter from "Disgusted" appearing in the Omaha newspaper the other day relative to minors being barred from a particular night spot. Of course, we have a good idea of the spot referred to, but never having been there we are in no position to comment, and heresay is out as far as this newspaper is concerned. We must admit, however, that we elders here in Plattsmouth have been most lax in providing clean, wholesome recreation for our local youngsters. Some ef fort has been made during the past three or four years, but it's still not, enough. The VFW has done,, and is still doing a mar velous job with their ' Keentime Club every Friday night, borne out by the fact that at this date more than 300 local youngsters are participants. They enjoy games, dancing, together with other recreation from 8 to ' 11 once a week under proper chap erones and management. Only two years ago the folks voted a $30,000 bond issue to ' create an athletic field for sports ventures of all kinds. This field should be utilized to the greatest extent. Planned and sponsored outdoor sports should be provided for all age groups during spring, summer and fall. To date it seems the field has been monopolized by older groups, leaving younger boys and girls to fend for themselves as far as recreation is con cerned. This condition should be corrected this year a few hundred dollars to pay a sum mer salary to a high school in structor to supervise and plan would solve this problem pron to. It still simmers down to the fact that Plattsmouth lacks an adequate building for enter tainment where growing boys and girls can while away their hours during the winter months. Its in the. planning stage and some day it will be a reality but until that time fathers and mothers must do a better job themselves. A word to "Disgusted" and all the rest of you 'kids' here in Plattsmouth Your letter rings familiar to statements of sev- ' eral old timers around here we can recall you do a lot of squawking but never do any thing about it. Why don't a number of you come before the Chamber of Commerce, Rotary Club, or any other organization and tell us' what you want? Jot down on a piece of paper your ideas as to what the oldsters can do to make your life more happy and send it to The Jour nal you'll be surprised at the cooperation you'll get by putting forth a little effort on your own. RRF March Brothers Get Assignments Mr. and Mrs. Dick March of this city have received word from their sons, Donald and Ronald, who were here recently on leave.

Ill Plattsmouth Nine Meets Boys Town Indoors Thursday Plattsmouth high school base ball players experienced a dif ferent approach to the game Thursday afternoon when they opposed Boys Town in an in door eame at the field house of the Cowboys. The game was slated for about three o clock Thursday. While the indoor diamond does not provide full game reg ulations, hitters, pitchers, and in fielders can operate under normal playing conditions.
