$4,000 short. If everyone who has
planned on contributing sends in their
donation, the drive should be closed
satisfactorily, according to Sigurd F.
Olson, chairman.
Some of the other range towns have
already finished their drives Last
year Ely finished first. If everyone
cooperates it will be possible to close
the books on schedule. Please make it
a point to drop in at the First Ma

According to a letter received
from Father Flanagan of Boys
Town, Nebraska, the project is
not doing so we'll, financially,
as it's Importance to the world
would warrant. 1t seems that
the production of the picture
with Spencer Tracy and Father
Flanagan led many to believe
that the founder was a super
man who was able to get what
Boys Town needs and receipts
fell off until it is a herculean
task to keep the ball rolling.
On seeing the picture everyone
was under the impression that
everyone else is sending money
to Boys Town. and their mite
was not needed.
The situation at Boys Town
is further complicated, says
Father Flanagan, because the
publicity of the picture has in
creased the number of applica-
tions for admission. During
the past twenty-five years,
thousands of otherwise desti-
tute homeless boys have been
provided with a home, given an
education, taught a useful
trade and reared in their own
religious beliefs, whether they
were Jew or Gentle, white or
black, Catholic or Protestant.
No royalty is being paid Boys
Town for the picture which has
Melted several million. Father
Flanagan made a mistake, he
admits, in not having such an
understanding with the pro-
ducers but it is too late to cry
over. He is writing letters in
explanation and asking his
hordes of friends to subscribe
as Honorary Citizens and the
youthful mayor and six COM
missioners will send you a GER
tificate as honorary citizens of
Boys Town. Any amount will
be thankfully received towards
the excellent work being done
in Nebraska.
