The answers to "What Things
Vinita Needs Most" printed in
the Daily Chieftain from day to
day indicate beyond doubt that
even the children all know that
Vinita is sadly in need of few
things. A few years ago pretty
nearly the same questions were
propounded and the answers at
that time were: Electric lights,
telephones" and such things, and
in some instances, at least, we have
acquired. SO it is to be hoped in
this CT 60, we will soon get the
things the children are mention
ing.
