The Children's Mayor
The Police Force of Minneapolis is
numerically below that of other
American Cities of the same size.
While raising our City to topmost
rank in the nation in law enforcement,
policemen are still found available to
protect our every school crossing,
thus giving Minneapolis the lowest
child fatality rate in the nation.
Mayor Leach has sponsored sports
programs for our youth, realizing
that innocent sport is the surest and
cheapest means of Juvenile crime pre-
vention.
He is personally active in the
original project and helped secure the
fund needed to organize the child
guidance clinic that has helped reduce
our baby death rate to the lowest in
the world. Surely this service to our
children merits our continued support
and our vote for Leach for Mayor.

al of an efficient Police Chief. While

Mayor Leach has proven to be be-

when legitimate attack is impossible,
and an evidence of such impossibility.
The faithful soldier, firm but kind

Not only in athletics is Miss Rem

Feminine honors were gained by
the Mccain sisters-Bell, Sal and
Patti. They burst into songs and
dances at the slightest provoca-
ton and the audience never seemed
to tire of them. Brother Andy Nc

two song birds whose work stood
out.
