This seemed obvious in a statement issued by the Platts mouth police department. Police Chief John Hobscheidt told the Journal today that he was requesting the cooperation of parents of minor drivers op erating vehicles on school and learner permits. He said the Plattsmouth police force had no desire to be arbitrary or oppres sive but that he did expect to enforce the state, lr-.w governing .i:Brara,;;::a::!;;B;:cika:!c:B,s;!B::;;a Edwin T. iMcHugh 1 n H ATTORNEY P Office in Corn Growers ...

Chief Hobscheidt called par ticular attention to the provi sions of the law governing the right to operate vehicles -by youngsters who had either a school permit or a learners per mit. He requested that these pro visions be published for the in formation of drivers and par ents alike. A school permit can be issued to a minor under 16 years of age and over 14 years of age for the purpose of driving a ve hicle to and from the school building where h e attends schools, if such minor lives at least one and one-half miles from school.- The chief stated specificallyv that the law pro vided , j that; such permit can be used only in driving to and from CONTROL Dial 7142 Boy's Short Sleeve SPORT SHIRTS T Men's $-j 00 $1 00 SWIM 2 $1 00 SWIM for Men's White T SHIRTS 2 Ravon Summer PANTS Boy's KNIT BRIEFS and SHIRTS $ooo for school "by the nearest highway or street from his place ot re sidence" and that "such permit shall be used for the sole pur pose of transporting such min ors to attend school." Chief Hobscheit also called at tention to the change made by the 1955 Legislature in the sta tute allowing learners permits to those who are at least 152 years old. The law previously re quired the holder of a learners permit to be accompanied by a "licensed operator It now pro vides that the person accompa nying the holder of a learners permit to be not only a licens ed operator but also to be at least 21 years of age and to be actually occupying the seat be side the driver." The chief appeared to be espe cially concerned about some stu dents habit of driving around the city during the noon-hour and after school hours. He said that he hoped that there would be no necessity for any full scale enforcement drive but added that unless he had the parents' cooperation this might become, necessary.

The Blue Devils got their first taste of scrimmage on Tuesday when Coach Burdette Hansen ent his charges through pre liminary "for real" football. "I was a little disappointed," said Hansen. The single wing, being install sd by Hansen this year, a switch from the T-type formation, used basically by the Ken Schroeder coached squad last year, appear ed to be confusing to the pre sent squad at first. Hansen's single wing basic for mation in regular down the line except that the tail back is mov ed in a little closer than the book single flanker,. John Adkins and Cecil Mc Knight, assistant football men ders were on the job as Coach lansen showed the way. If the Devils don't succeed, it won't be because they failed to work. Practice has taken them out at 7:30 in the morning for the first session and in the af ternoon for another one. Wells Drilled On a Weekend Solve Problem Water isn't much of a prob lem to Bert Pollock on his farm just east of Plattsmouth. This summer the Morehead Brothers, who farm the land, and Mr. Pollock, pumped water from the Missouri river through sprays to irrigate part of their corn planted there. It was a suc cessful venture. Where the corn was irrigated, Mr. Pollock says he believes he will have a fair stand of corn but where irriga tion water was not used, the corn is ruined by dry weather. There was only one hitch, and last weekend, that was solved. The Missouri river was too far away from the corn fields. Two wells were put down, requiring about 6 hours each in the drill ing. They are 70 feet deep and about a foot in diameter, and will yield, rated at 1,400 gallons per minute. Mr. Pollock said the -driller found a fine bed of gravel con taining water on the river bot tom land and entered perforat ed casings into the wells, pack on the outside with gravel to allow flowage into the well. w Eagle Schools ' Will Open Aug. 29 EAGLE Schools will open here Monday, Aug. 29, it has been announced by school offi cials.
