Indy IS name
OF "TAG'S' PONY
Boys and Girls Make SugSs-
lions for Comic Strip Character

Indy is the name of Tagalong
McGoosey's pony. ..-
The last letter of the last big
bundle of letters that have come
to the Herald suggesting names for
the new pony in the ''Freckles and
HIS Friends comic strip has been
checked and rechecked, And the
result is
Indy.
Now, besides giving the pony a
name that he likes. and that
treckles and Tag and all the rest
OF the pen-and-ink kids like, these
hundreds of letters prove some
thing that New Britain mothers and
fathers can be pretty proud of. For
they prove that Colonel Charles
Lindbergh is the present-day hero
of childhood.
| Youths Greatest Tribute
The man whose whole life has
been an example of clean living.
whose lovable personality Is half
submerged in boyish modesty,
whose ideal is indomitable courage
IN striving for worthy accomplish
ment, whose ambition is for some
thing infinitely greater than self
advancement-that is the man who
has won first place in the heart q.
Young America ....
The boys and girls who read
treckles and His Friends - and
there are hundreds of thousands of
them - expressed their admiration
OF the flying hero in the most sin
cere way they knew. They gave his
name to the frisky little black play
mate that they watch for eagerly
every day on the comic page.
Letters were sent in by children
in every state in the Union, for
"FrecKles and His Friends" appear
in hundreds of newspapers. The
Herald was swamped with letters:
1t was the greatest response that
children ever have made to con-
| test
| $4,000 Suggestions Received
When the very first sack of let
ters was opened and the Job of
checking the names was started, it
was clear that several favorite
names were going to receive a food
! of votes. For this reason it was
agreed that the name that received
the most support should be given
to Tagalongs pony. Tag and Freck-
les and Mr.. Blosser, the artist who
draws the strip, decided this would
be the best plan.
In all. there were more than $50
| names suggested, SO you can see
what task it was to keep an ac-
eurate check on every one. And
! the total number of letters from
/ boys and girls all over the country
was nearly $4,000. Others. too late
for the contest, still are coming in.
Boy Suggests Own Name
Many young reader OF the
comic strip suggested names made
up of the initials of characters
in the story. This one came from
girl in Ohio:
Il would call Tagalong's pony
TAFO. becauses:
1T is for Tagalong, A is for Alex,
f is for Frecllles. Q is for Oscar
A boy in Tennessee who is pretty
proud of the name that his parents
selected for him suggested his own
name. Several children who are so
well acquainted with the pony that
they can draw pictues OF it. sent
in colored sketches with their
choice of names.
To be sure. since Colonel Lind
bergh is the hero of the hour. his
nickname was not the most original
of the names sent in. But since it
shows the sincere admiration OF the
youngsters. and since the name was
! so many thousands ahead OF any
other name suggested, the Herald
