Letters From Readers
YOUR VOTE WILL COUNT!

Mr.. and Mrs. John @. Public,
you are called on again, for the
fifth time this year, to vote on a
school question. Now forget all
your petty differences and vote for
the best interest of the little fell
low that doen't understand why Pa
pa and Mama won't let him play
with the kids in the next lot.
In my opinion the Junior High
is a little previous, under the cir
cumstances, as the PWA money is
not available at the present. Let
us concentrate our efforts on a
Grammar school, to take care of a
dire need NOW. We can buy our
new school site and build as far as
the money available will go, and
when more more money is available,
build more then.

the one of building up new public
Fairgrounds, and a report made to

it the thought that its purchase
will contribute to the success of
some unfortunate child who does
not have the means to pay for need

the major activity of the Coolidge
Lions Club. It has purchased dur
ing the past year five pairs OF eye
glasses for students in our schools.
Recently, eye tests were made and
1t was found that sixteen children
are badly in need of eye glasses

He said the child was dead when
he arrived at his own home 10
minutes later, indicating he was
strangled by the handkerchiefs.
Hoover said Mccall told him the
reason he kidnapped the boy wa
that "he had been wanting the
things of life for his wife and him
self and had been unable to get
steady employment
According to Hoover, Mccall con-
ceived the kidnap plan two weeks
before the child was snatched
Hoover said Mccall admitted he
first considered kidnapping two other
young Princeton boys, but eliminat-
ed them as possibilities and decided
on the son of J. B. Cash.
Delay in announcing final solu-
tion OF the case was due, Hoover
said, to the fact that Mccall made
an original statement duplicating
r. A. Cash, uncle of the boy, in the
kidnap plot
Hoover said, however, that r. A
Cash had been exonerated and that
the case lis closed.

States has been due partly to con-
Germ for the safety OF his family,
because Of crank threats over there,
and also because of the unWelcome
public attention to which the Lind
berghs were subjected.
In the two and one half years
since Lindbergh left the United
States. he has found what he sought
"a feeling of safety Tor his chill
dren and almost complete freedom
from public notice.
Since his arrival, when the Brit
ish broadcasting corporation took
the unprecedented action Of broad
casting an appeal for respect OF his
privacy, the British public and
press have responded with aStonish-
ing good will
Although he IS among the fore
most figures in the world, as far
as public interest IS concerned.
Lindbergh, when he wishes to. can
be almost as inaccessible as the
Grand Llama of Tibet. Few men III
Europe-not even the dictators-
can cloak their movements in such
secrecy as Lindbergh.
Voluntary censorship by the pub
lie, press and friends, operate in
the colonels favor. Often for months
at a time the press publishes not
line about his movements and it
is extremely difficult for any but
closest friends to ascertain his
whereabouts.
