Flattsmouth last vear lost out in the semifinals of the district here when Holv Name overcame a one-point Plat. mouth lead in the final 23 seconds. Here last Friday night, Platts mouth warmed up for the tour nament by winning its 5th in the last 6 games and running up its highest score of the season, 63 56 over Southeast of Lincoln. It was the 13th win in 20 for PHS. It was an interesting game, one of counter rallies and mark ed by great free-throw shooting by the Blue Devils. They con verted 21 out of 25 throws to keep out of danger most of the game. Field goals were 21 out of 57, .430 for Flattsmouth, 20 out of 57. .331 for Southeast. Plattsmouth got away from the starting line fast and led by 16-6 at the end of the first quar ter before SE began to close in. It was 30-25 at the half with Tom Martin ge tting 11 of his 20 points in that stretch for Plattsmouth. Martin got 7 points to help his team lengthen its lead early in the third period but Southeast switched to a fast break to pull up fast. It was 42-40 for Platts mouth as the quarter ended. The third period saw the exit from the game of Ken Dasher of Plattsmouth and Dave Myers of SE. The two wrestled for the ball on the floor after a jump ball call and official asked them to sit out the rest of the game. The incident did not appear to be dangerous. Plattsmouth rooters and Mar tin got a scare early in the 4th quarter when Martin grabbed a rebound and fired a quick shot, at the wrong basket. It didn't connect, however. With the pressure on, Platts mouth rebounded better and was quicker on defense to win going away. Jim Shown came through with 10 of his 13 points in the last 8 1 Barrett minutes and Larry Cundall got! Sihmoker 4 Plattsmouth (63) fg ft pf pts Cundall 7 3-3 1 17 Long 1 1-1 5 3 Hutton 0 0-0 0 0 A.

Someone Likes Drifting Snow It's an ill that blows nobody good, and Game Commission Project Leader Phil Agee, along with Max Hamilton and Ray Linder, Game Commission re search biologists stationed at Fairmont, impatiently awaited the heavy drifting snows most people are anxious to avoid. They were not in a hurry to test out new longhandled under wear or parkas. It was simply that such extreme conditions which fill ditches and dense co ver patches with snow are 1 deal for making the aerial ph easant counts. "All cocks," Agee explained, "wil not band with the hens at this season unless the climate is adverse. With snow and wind, however, they will pull Into flocks. Then we could make pop ulation checks and sex-ratio counts." When conditions are correct, Agee, Hamilton and Linder will take to field to probe the secrets of the pheasant. A low-flying plane will cruise study areas in Clay and Fillmore counties. Numbers of pheasants will be checked. The ratio of cocks to hens will be counted from the ground. In this manner, the Game Commission Is able to determine the extent of last season's hunt ing harvest and will also be able to estimate the reproduction po tential for the coming breeding CPPDAimsTo Save $100,000 During 1958 A savings of $100,000 in oper- j ating and maintenance expense es this year Is the goal of Con sumers Public Power District. That subject wp.s the highlight during a 3-day meeting in Lin coln of about 70 CPPD superin-1 tendents. engineers and other su pervisory personnel. H. L. Carson. Columbus, CP-! PD's operations manager, told the field operating personnel that Consumers must continue to provide economical and efficient electric service but with "watch dog" checks on frills and nones sential expenditures. J He specifically stressed that! CPPD's statewide construction j budget of more than $5 million' was prepared by "playing econ-1 omics close to the vest." He ur-i ged the supervisory groups to "tighten up your belts, econom-; ically by cutting expenses in j such fields as transportation, getting the very maximum out of all equipment, watching the lit tle extra frills not needed in our operations and not letting up on top-grade service." Carson said today's rising costs must be uppermost in the minds of all operating or super visory personnel when they start a project. "Provide the custom er with continued low-cost, ef ficient and courteous service. Transmission and distribution work must be completed but cut out the fat in such fields as trans portation, bookwork, adminis tration and other snots where the little extras can be trimmed without impairing good service."
