Checking back statements, board members learned that in previous years. Lugsch had handled the repair ' account. I Records showed that it was sent out of town for the first ! time in 1951. A comparison of i work and prices seemed to fa vor the local concern. But board members also re viewed statements to out-of-town sporting goods stores am ounting to nearly $600, and rernmmendrd that whenever possible, goods be purchased j 1 II.. 1, I, T 1 . . . 1 .

A check with local merchants showed that identical ; equipment can be obtained at ; comparable prices. i As a result, the board approv ed a motion requiring a monthly 1 statement of expenses of the athletic department, however it turned down to have all expen ses over $25 submitted for ap proval. At the Monday night session, which lasted until eleven o' clock, the board also considered a report submitted by Mrs. Alta Reade, special therapy instruc tor, concerning youngsters who were recently taken to a special- j ist tor hearing diagnosis. : Gifts for TB i Patients Prepared j By 8 & 40 Salon ' Cass county Salon of the 8 I & 40 met recently at the 40 & 8 club.

Junior Women Plan Christmas Party on Monday Junior Woman's Club will hold its Christmas party and meeting at the home of Mrs. Esther Do nat on Monday, December 8 at eight o'clock.

Mr. Niel announced that the 1 postoffice here will remain op j en on Saturday afternoon. Dec 1 ember 13 and "December 20 un ! til five o'clock. ! But he also suggests that mailing of long-distanc? pack- s be completed before those j dates. The recent snow storm ! here is a good example of the benefit of early mailing. Such J storms tend to delay mail car- f riers on all levels and as such, packages presumably sent in time could be several days late in arriving for the Christmas holiday. Many residents here went without mail service for sev eral days until roads were clear ed, and the same thing could happen in other areas where packages are being sent. By mailing early, residents will be assured of package de livery, and the overall load on the local department will be cut to allow better pre-Chrlstmas service. Calendar Monday. December 8 Plattsmouth Garden Club will hold its Chirstmas dinner at the home of Mrs. William Keeiey at noon Monday. Dec. 8. A 50-cent gift exchangewill be held. Monday, December 8 Plattsmouth Senior Woman's Club will meet Monday night, December 8, at eight o'clock at the 40 & 8 club.
