A charge of such misuse was made

printed on the Technical high school

They were printed, delivered with

being printed in union shops this

Given the bullet used in a crime

experts can determine quickly when
that gun actually was used.
The expert fires a shot through
the gun. The two bullets are placed
under double microscope, con-

minute scratches blend into a single

bullets came from the same weapon.

Election of the CITIZEN S

civic movement, rather than a po-
litical event, was advocated today
by H. Nathan Swain, former Demo
cratic county chairman.
Our schools are by their nature

Mr.. Swain commended the CITI-
ZENS' SCHOOL COMMITTEE as
having no interest except in the
election of honest, competent school,

Neither Democrats nor Repub-

about working shoulder to shoulder
for the success of the CITIZENS
