7-0 Auburn homecoming Foe Here Decision on Vacating Road Pends A decision on whether or not It will vacate a section line road a mile north and a mile west of Klmwood will be made by the Hoard of County Commissioners at their next meeting in two weeks. An hour-long hearing was held on the proposed vacation Tuesday in the Commission room in the courthouse. Objectors to the proposed vacation were represented by Mght men and an attorney. They presented a petition sign ed by about 85 persons object ing to the vacation and asking the road be restored to driving condition. The county surveyor had re commended that the road, be tween sections 9 and 4 in Stove Creek Precinct, be vacated. It has been unused for 52 years and is overgrown with brush and trees. Restoration of the road would entail building a bridge, instal ling culverts, clearing of brush and trees and grading. A question about the road had arisen when Vic Schomaker asked for a way into an 80-acre plot of ground he intends to farm. There was no other means of ingress except across private land. Subsequently, the Commis sioners purchased a strip of ground amounting to 97-hun-dredths of an acre from Howard Vogt and Mrs. Grover Hill. It cost about $870. An estimated mentioned at the hearing for restoring the mile of section line road was be tween $15,000 and $20,000. Statute requires that the board wait until the subsequent meet ing before announcing a decis ion on the matter. LEGIONNAIRES Don't Forget MEEING TONIGHT 40 & 8 CLUB NOV. 6, 1958 8 P.

' T 1 1 PHS Seniors In Last Game; Konfrst Out Eleven seniors, but not ace fullback John Konfrst, will wear Friday night in the Homecom ing game here. And, it's a real toughie for the senior Blue Devils to play as a career-ender. Auburn brings in a perfect 1958 record and has had noth ing but respect and success on the football field this year. It ! has won 7 straight games, is ranked near the top in Class B in the state. But, Coach Bill Hawkins of Plattsmouth isn't crepe hanging. He says, "We'll be ready for them." He wasn't belittling Auburn, which he feels is a "good ball club" but he says "they can be stopped and we know pretty much what they'll run." Plattsmouth is fresh from one of its best performances of the season last week, a 25-12 win over Fairbury. Seniors who will perform for the last time for Plattsmouth Friday night are tackles Ed Hohrnan, Ken Pritchard and Ron Toman, ends J. C. Draper, Rich Kellison and Jim Bulin, guards Jerry Haase and Jerry Wurtele, fullback Lauren Todd, halfback Tom Winscot and quarterback Ray Ford. Konfrst, first string fullback for two years, missed last week's game with a severe leg infection and was taken to Doctors Hospi tal, Omaha. Todd filled in ably last week and will be called upon again this time. He has been a defen sive star two years but perfor med just as well on offense against Fairbury. All tha seniors on the squad will be co-captains for the sea son's last game. Plattsmouth goes into the game with a record of three wins, three losses and a tie. Against common opponents, the two teams have fared this way: Auburn beat Nebraska City, 25-0; Plattsmouth lost, 18-12. Auburn beat Falls City, 20-8; Plattsmouth lost 41-19. The kickoff Friday night is at 7:30. Homecoming festivities, in cluding crowning of the queen and king and a dance, follow the game at the high school gym. "Farewell" Local Date Is Set The long wait for a Cinema Scope, De Luxe Color screen version of Ernest Hemingway's immortal classic of war and love, "A Farewell to Arms," will be realized Sunday-Wednes day at the Cass Theater when David O. Selznick's production starring Rock Hudson, Jennifer Jones and Vittorio De Sica is premiered. Shot entirely in Italy, the film features a huge case of inter nationally famous feature and supporting players as well as over 10,000 extras, most of whom are used in the excitingly stag ed battle scenes. Often called Hemingway's fin est novel, the story of the diffi cult love of an American am bulance driver serving in the Italian Army and a lovely Brit ish nurse has been re-created with the unique touch of Produc er Seiznick and ace director Ch arles Vidor. In addition to the monumental dramatic problems concerned with translating a Hemingway story faithfully and accurately to the screen, the Seiznick "ar my" had to transport tons of props and machinery high into the Dolomite Mountains of Nor thern Italy where the authen tic battle scenes were photo graphed upon the very ground over which the original conflict was fought. Preview audiences acclaimed the film one of the finest yet produced, even by Seiznick who has such pictures as "Spell bound," "David Copperfield" and of course, the all-time great, "Gone With the Wind" to his credit. Adv. Burning Sacks On Highway Calls Out Firefighters Early Wednesday morning a large number of sacks used to protect new concrete paving on the U.
