THE PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA, SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL PAGE SIX v Thursday, September 20, 1956 Blue Devils Ready For Orangemen Coaches Burdette Hansen and John Adkins have been working the local gridders overtime in preparation for the invasion of Class AA Beatrice and their one two punch Fischer and Witt. Fischer, 230 pound tackle is the Nebraska state champion in the 12 pound shot and discus throw and a two year letter man in football. Witt is a 155 pound seatback and loves to carry the mail. To combat this duo the Blue Devils will nut 200 nnnnH MiU-p i Lewis against Fischer and run a - couple of pretty good country backs in workhorse, Larry Long and Tom Winscot, against Witt. The Blue Devils came out of the Cre,te game in good shape. Only injury was to guard Bob Hutton, and he should be in shape for the Orangemen. This should enable the local gridmen to-be at full strength to avenge the 14-0 setback on the Beatrice field a year ago. Beatrice and Falls City play ed lo a 6-6 stelemate last Fri day, so both teams will be try ing, for their first win tomorrow night, and should provide a real offensive show. All Local University Students Pass English Superintendent T. I. Friest has been informed that all fresh man students at the University of Nebraska this year passed their English examinations and will not be required to take non credit English their first year. Lack of English preparation on the part of high school stu dents entering the University has been a major point of con troversy during the past year or longer. It has been the sub ject of a series of articles in one metropolitan newspaper. The record of Plattsrnouth high raduates of 1956 is a distinct cnor for the local schools. The death toll on the nation's highways over the Labor Day weekend, 435, has been sur passed only twice previously. CT3 ass U heatre Plattsrnouth SUN..

Boating Days On Missouri Are Recalled Sunday was a notable event in bringing to the Port of Platts rnouth, a reminder of an earlier day, when boating was the chief means of travel in this part of the west. This was the Rendezvous ar ranged by the Council Bluffs Boat club and participated in by boating enthusiasts from Lin coln, Nebraska City, and Oma ha. One boat from Beat rice and one from Milford ac companied the fleet from Ne braska City led by Commodore Ken Wiles. There was estimated to be 110 craft when all had assembled on the beach to enjoy the festal event. Lincoln, far removed from the Missouri River, had twenty craft in the cruise that started from Nebraska City at 10:30.

(Contents do not necessarily express the opinions of this newspaper.) September 18, 1956 The Plattsrnouth Journal Dear Sir: As we all know, a couple of young men was dragged from Ihe river Sunday morning, where they had drowned a few hours before during the night, an in cident which brought tragedy and heart-break to at least two families. What perhaps we don't all know, is that Pier 608 where it happened is a favorite late-at-night meeting place for those who wish to drink and carouse, not excluding teenagers. It is an out-of-way rendezvous with no curfew or other restrictions, not even lights. . This seems to be in line with the "tolerance" demanded by our city councilmen when re cently the mayor tried to have enforced Section Six of City Ordinance 885 to keep children and other persons not of legal age, from remaining in plaees serving alcoholic drinks. At the time tavern owners protested long and loud against the ordin ance and they got their way. I'm asking that my name be withheld, but if anybody wants to verify my statement of con ditions here in Plattsrnouth, he need only take the time and effort to find out for himself: how, for instance, in a .back room filled with booths and a juke box, beer is served in the company of teenagers, both boys and girls; that the usual bar room profanity and vulgar talk, and disrespectful remarks a bout women can be heard. If this is not enough, another es tablishment can be visited where the proprietor himself gets just as drunk as any of his patrons. Yes, we are indeed tolerant. Perhaps we should be more tol erant and turn the town wide open, and keep it open all night, then there may be no further need for nocturnal pilgrimages to Pier 60S. Sincerely, JUST A CITIZEN Farm prices declined 3 per cent in the month of August.
