CASS Watsreen Attciuy Practice .it : i if W' :-J for juc the lakes and marshes October 10 through December 8. Geese are legal prey from October 10 to December 23. Due to northern drought con ditions, less Dakota and Canad ian ducks will be winging over the Central Flyway this year. This is reflected in the reduced bag and possession limits for the 1959 season, three and six res pectively. The goose bag and possession limits remain the same as last year, five for each. Bis incentive for goose hunt ers this year is the longer sea- I son, giving Nebraska nimrods a better chance to .gun the later Canadian geese on the western Nebraska routes. Red-headed ducks, rubby ducks, and canvasbacks are in low numbers this year. Conse quently, the total bag and pos session limits of duck hunters may include only one canvas back, or one redhead, or one rubby duck. So long as a person has one of these species in pos- session he may not include one In a subsequent bag. The total possession also may not include more than one wood duck and one hooded merganser. Goose hunters may fill their bags with five snows or five blue rsQ Wo come flying when policyholders need help! Steve" STEVE DAVIS AGENCY Plattsmou'.h, Ncbr.

However, possession opt ions are one white-fronted goose, two Canada geese, or one white front and one Canada goose. Early shooting will be best, with locally-produced mallards and blue-winged teal ple'ntiful enough to afford some fine tar gets before they migrate south. Nebraska is situated on the southern edge of the duck-producing factory of the mid-continent. The state's duck breed ing conditions were not as criti cal as in areas further north. Shooting hours for all water fowl species are from sunrise to sunset of open days, except on the first day of the season, when hunting, shall commence at noon. In previous years' of 'duck' hunting daily shooting began one-half hour before sunrise. The entire state is open, except for federal and state sanctuar ies and refuges. Prohibited are live decoys, or bait, and also the use of livestock as camouflage.

Oct. 10 2-a-Day Sessions To Continue for 'Anyone Interested' Plattsmouth High today be gan football practice with 22 players at the morning session and more expected at this af ternoon's workout. Coach Bill Hawkins and as sistants John Adkins, Cecil Mc Knight and Stan Cole have just three weeks to get the squad ready for the season opener on Sept. 11 at Tecumseh. The home opener is the fol lowing Friday, SeDt. 18, against Crete. Hawkins today tendered this general invitation: "Anyone in terested in coming out for foot ball is invited to do so. Prac tices will be at 8 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. this week." Workouts both morning and afternoon will be preceded by chalk-talk classes, the classes to start at 8 and 2:30. Field drills are being held on the new athletic field behind Central school since the Wash ington Ave. field was graded and seeded this spring and probably won't be used until games be gin. This morning, the limited ear ly turnout of players ran through plays in shorts, had some wind sprints and got equipment in preparation for start of serious work this afternoon and Tues day. Others will draw equipment as they join the squad. It was plenty warm today and sweat flowed freely, for both players and coaches. As practice progressed this morning, trucks were hauling earth to the east end of the new field to fill a washout in the em bankment caused by recent big rains. Local Reserves In Step with Reorganization FORT CARSON, Colo. Plattsmouth's hometown unit of the Army Reserve wound up its annual two weeks' summer train ing here Saturday with a new view of its role in national de fense. Three officers and 44 enlisted men of the local Heavy Mortar Company of Nebraska's 355th Infantry Regiment tiave swung into step with the sweeping re organization of the 89th Infan try Division. This year at summer camp the Plattsmouth reservists shifted emphasis from learning to sold ier to learning to teach other men to soldier. The change is part of the re- designation of the parent 89th Division as a training unit. Under command of Capt. Cecil M. Karr, the mortarmen spent two weeks in training designed to enhance their effectiveness as military instructors. This fall the company will be re-named Company H, Second Battalion, 355th Regiment (BCT). The BCT stands for Bas ic Combat Training. At future summer training sessions and in event of mobili zation, men of the present Hea vy Mortar Company would be given the job of instilling com bat skills in trainees under their jurisdiction. For a start, Heavy Mortar members taught each other in classes conducted at Fort Car son facilities. Linder Firestone To Move To New Location on 6th Boyd Linder, owner of Linder Firestone Store in Plattsmouth, announced today the purchase of the former Ruback store build ing on North 6th Street.

Kinnamon, member of an old time Plattsmouth family, living nt Spokane, WaMi., writes in to renew his subscription. He states he lias in his possession a Journal ot 1307. i Winscot Played 'Good Game' Plattsmouth Coach Bill Haw kins, one of the South coaching staff members for the Shrine Ail-Star high school football game Sunday in Omaha, was pleased with the performance of Tom Winscot of Plattsmouth. Last year, Winscot played quarterback and halfback at tim es, did much of the passing and the punting and was a good run ner for Plattsmouth. Sunday night, he played most of the game on defense for the South in its 7-6 win over the North. He made one vital save when he was the last defensive player between a North runner and the goal line. His tackle got the ball for the south- and the threat ended. At the time, the North led 6-0 and a score at that point would have been costly if not fatal for the South. Today, Wlnscot's picture ap peared in the Lincoln paper as he made a stop of a North ball carrier. LETTER BOX Citizens: A few months agd the County Board authorized a second de puty for the sheriff's office. To date this vacancy has not been filled. When filled, it will con stitute the first increase in the sheriff's office of a full time bonded officer in over one-hundred years. The sheriff's office's 1959 es timated budget contains approx imately $5,500 for extra deputy. Thjs is for his salary, estimated mileage, two-way radio and other allied equipment. The reason for seeking the assistance of an additional de puty were; 1. To help relieve the ever increasing demand for ser vices being placed on the sher iff's office. 2. To give more night coverage to the western part of the county where improved roads have brought about more night traffic and an increase in night offenses. 3. To give some relief to the present officers' 12 to 18 hour days. During winter months the crime rate is usually higher but this year the summer months crime figures are up to those of winter months. Likewise during the. normal summer months the jail is either empty or had a low count but for the past three months the average jail count has been up to ten daily. These two items, the extra deputy and the increase in jail count are the two main reasons why the estimated sheriff's of fice and jail budgets were rais ed for the 1959-19G0 fiscal vear as published. Tom Solomon, Sheriff Accident on Highway 50 A two car accident occurred at 1:30 a.m. Aug. 21, six miles south of Louisville-on Highway 50. A car driven by Walter E.
