Presentation oi diplomas was forced to subsist on pensions, are being hard hit by the pres ent high cost of food, clothing and shelter, Willis said. "That is why the success of our 1951 Buddy Poppy sale is more de serving of the support of patri otic citizens of this community than ever before." Money to be raised through the sale of Buddy Poppies will be used exclusively for the wel fare of veterans and their de pendents. "When Buddy Poppy Oommisioners ietermineOass 6o. Population Cass county will remain in Virginia Mayo Day is over in Plattsmouth, I hope that every man, woman and child will be wearing one of veterans, i these symbols of our gratitude to the men who have served their country in time of war, with honor to themselves and to our great nation." The present war in Korea adds another element to the sale of poppies. For every day, many American servicemen are join ing the ranks of disabled veter ans. As the need grows, the sale of poppies must be greater. Many business men in Platts mouth are also urging support of "Buddy Poppy Day." Test cases, as pointed out by Case, reveal that federal cen sus figures do not actually de termine the population. . At the hearing, county offi cials explained to the satisfac tion of the commissioners that they actually service more than the 16,361 listed by the federal census.

Nolting's Single Spoils No-Hitter Gene Nolting's single in the top of the seventh with two out saved Donat's from being the victim of a no-hit no-run game in the Papillion Softball league Tuesday night. As it was. Offutt blanked the local nine 6-0, as pitcher Wil liams whiffed 16 batters. Offutt salted the game in the bottom of the first with three runs, on two hits and two of the 12 walks yielded by "Skeeter" Webb. They added single runs in the second, fifth and seventh. Webb's wildness was the dif ference as he yielded only three hits. He struck out four. Only four of his mates got on base, two dying after reaching third. Williams did not walk a batter.
