These pages are vital to the thought and action

nation without newspapers or magazines would
be nation in the dark. 1t would be easily stam-

Indiana and was 73 years old. He
is survived by two sons, Deputy
Sheriff Charles e. Nice and +. O.

ter, Mrs. Mary Clement of Brawley,
also sister who lives in Indiana.
Arrangements for the funeral

munity is extended to the Nice
family, who have suffered the loss
of their parents in such a short
time.
