Another persons life was extended
for another month, at least, by a.
donation of $40 to the Hoover fund
solicited by students OF Spaulding high
school and, therefore, the students
should be credited with the saving Of
90 European lives instead of 50, a.
shown in this paper previously. Prin
cipal Hunt believed yesterday that he
had the final figures for the total
amount collected by the student body
during the two day drive, but was in

which had been solicited by high
school student. went directly to Mrs.
George n. Tildcn; yet should have
been credited to the school. The
amount to date collected by the stu

probably the total.

upon tho roof by the fire, and many of
them rolled off the roof to 4he snow
