Say, "I Read it in The Journal" By Margaret Duigman Journal Staff Writer People planning on having automobile accidents . should make certain to pick thir vic tims from Plattsmouth. Mr. and Mrs. Carl Schneider are the proud owners of a re cently purchased pink Cadillac. They with the L. A. Caldwells visited the Schneider's son in an Omaha hospital and on the re turn to Plattsmouth were In volved in an accident. Traveling with the green light, the Cadillac (which we have heard is so long that the traffic light turns red before it cross es the intersection) "was hit by a lady driver, no less, running a red light. As luck would have it, the lady driver had no driver's li cense with her. All were taken to the Omaha police station. The Omaha driver admitted she was in the wrong, that her child riding with her had dis tracted her attention, causing the accident. In the conversation it was learned that she did have in surance, but not the cash for her bond. Mr. Schneider put up the cash for her bond. Now, we Cass County people have known for years about the Schneiders generous acts sup porting and donating toward worthwhile organizations that make Plattsmouth and Cass County "the white spot of the nation."
