J&ystery;. Surrounds KKK Skeeterweighi CoEitersders ar! (harlift Perry "Kid" Graves, trainer- manager lor Plattsmouth's box ing hopefuls today announced names of contestants for the King Korn Karnival boxing ex hibition to be held in late Sep tember. Drawing preliminary assign ments for the five-bout show will be middleweight Wesley Waltermire and Jim Favors. Following them into the ring will be Jake Van Winkle and Larry Long, welterweights. The third bout will feature a pair of lightweights, Bob Sheard and Fete Porter and the semi-wind-up will feature Cody McDermott and Don Conyers. But Graves refused to name opponents for the main event. That'll bring together bruising battlers of the "skeeterweight" division. Selecting that skeet erweight champion of Platts mouth will put interest back in to the sport at Plattsmouth, Graves predicts. Graves said, however, that the skeeterweight opponents are in vigorous training and will be in tip-top shape for their main go. Asked what the "skeeterweight" division is. Graves advised that 'just stay out of their way when they head for the ring." The ex-welter king said names of the main event contenders will not be revealed until the night of the contest at the King Korn Karnival.

Was P longer Reserves Test Machine Gun ernins require before Cuffing mh, City Warns City Councilmen sounded a warning to residents to make certain of permits to cut curbs before any work is done. The Issue was brought to the attention of the council by Street Commissioner Howard Hirz, who told of viewing one such job where a driveway was to be constructed, and where the repair work had not been satisfactory. Before cutting curb for drive days, property owners are ad vised that they must seek a per mit from the city and work must be done under the supervision of the Streets, Alleys and Bridges committee. City's Liquor Ordinance !s Altered Slightly Plattsmouth City Councilmen voted unanimously 3-0 Monday night to adopt an ordinance re vising city regulations on liquor.

It provides for only three chang es, he told his collesues. Changes in the ordinance pro vide for opening at 6 a. m., cor responding to state law and clos ing at 1 a. m., also in accord ance with the state statue. Pre viously liquor stores could not open til 7 a. m. and were re quired to close at midnight. The new statue also provides a stiller penalty for violations of the ordinance. Maximum penalty was hiked from $50 fine to $100. Carl T. Charling, native of Mead, died at his home at Elm wood on July 26, 1953, at the age of 73.

Plattsmouth. County Farm Bureau Presi dent, M. Dale Stander, reported on his return: "The American Farmer must decide what he wants done in the public policy field; and the most effective way to make these decisions known is through organized discussion in county and unit Farm Bureau groups. This is ternational level Is interested in policy discussion of World Peace; Who shall speak for farmers; the General price level; Federal budget; Role of Government in Agriculture; the Free choice choice system; and Labor-management relationships. Nebras ka Farm Bureau members also need policy discussion and for mation on such issues as taxes, and assessment, roads, schools, the Constitutional Amendments to be presented at the 1954 elec tion, and other state and local problems. The Lincoln meeting was one of a series of nirie such district meetings held throughout the state. Meetings were scheduled a process Farm Bureau has been i for Fremont, Norfolk, Beatrice, using lor many years. our County Farm Bureau and its units are planning to cooperate fully in making- it possible for the opinions of farm families in this county to be heard through organized policy discussion meet ings.' ' He said that emphasis has been given to policy discussion meetings through the request of Secretary of Agriculture, Ezra Taft Benson, that the members of the three general farm or ganizations of the nation make known what they want in the way of farm and public policies. However, he added, the request of the Secretary does not require that Farm Bureau change its methods which have been fol lowed for many years to deter mine policies of the organiza tion. The request of the Secre tary, he said, emphasizes the Lincoln, Grand Island, Holdrege, McCook, Ogallala and scotts-bluff. Commissioners Ray Norris of Weeping Water and . Herman Bornemeier of Elmwood and their wives were among guests of the Lincoln Equipment com pany at a picnic dinner at An telope park in Lincoln Sunday evening. Subscribe to The Journal. J.
