Mr. and Mrs. Robert Wall and A letter from "Hoagy"' Tram mell, tiny secretary of the Plattsmouth Chamber of Com merce, from New York, states that his trip there to Nebraska Week at the Roosevelt Hotel is paying off. He states that he has already met two good pros pects for industrial expansion in this area, "One of which will get underway within two years." The trip to New York by the Plattsmouth Chamber of Com merce secretary is another feather in the cap of a group of progressive local business men who financed his trip through contributions from $10 to $25 each. Knowing that per sonal contact with heads of in dustrial concerns contemplating expansion programs into the midwest was one sure way of knowing that Plattsmouth was being given consideration, these men 'kicked in" the kitty so that the trip could be made and would not be charged off the Chamber of Commerce budget. Mr. Trammell added that "I have had a nice day with C. V. Price, Division of Nebraska Re sources, and Wayne Dawson, secretary of the Lincoln Cham ber of Commerce, talking about the potentials of Plattsmouth and this area. There is not a doubt in my mind but what we should have a community-wide planning survey to anticipate the industrial and residential neds of Plattsmouth for the next five years. Great growth and expansion of industry is on the brink of bursting forth." This should be the answer to a few local die-hards that in sist businessmen and women of Plattsmouth make no effort to promote the welfare of the city or attempt to influence busi ness and industrial expansion in Cass county and it takes money to promote all these ex tra activities. Less razing and more support of your Cham ber of Commerce will get the job done and a few bucks thrown into the general fund whether a member or not would be a big help.

Farmers Advised To Check Hops Before Moving Farmers preparing to move hogs into winter quarters this month should first check their herds for signs of sneezing pigs, or hogs with "pushed in" faces. the American Foundation for Animal Health suggested today. These two symptoms are warnings of a dangerous new swine disease, atrophic rhinitis, which has been spreading rap idly on many farms, the Foun dation said. Pigs which sneeze, or show facial distortion should be eliminated from the herd, because they can readily spread the infection to the entire drove, veterinary spokesmen tay. ''Failure to halt the .r-:"ad of this infection may force the owner to ttil hi, hc-rd and go out of the her? business." Foun dation authrides reported. Atrophia r .Initis has varied symptom :. young pigs, .sneez ing may Le the only warning, v.nile c.Jcr hegs develop the 'dished-ii ' face. This facial distor dca also occurs in anoth er di.ase known as "'hull nose," so a diagnosis is required to de tciniue which disease is pres ent. The Foundation explained that the disease may follow a three year cycle. The first year may result in only a few pigs sneezing, but during the second year some facial distortion may be noticed. By the third year, the infection may have spread through the entire drove, forc ing the owner out of the hog business for a time. If a herd becomes infected veterinarians recommend a 90-day period of disinfecting before more hogs are purchased. It is believed that atrophic rhinitis is introduced mainly through purchase of infected hogs.
