News From Lincoln
County Librory

At the beginning of each school
year the Lincoln County Free Lii
brary presents a Reading Plan to
the teachers of Lincoln County ele-
mentary grades and in the spring
pupils who have read enough to
qualify receive an attractive GER
tificate provided by the Library
and signed by the Librarian and
teacher. The Reading Plan does not
stress quantity of books but quail
ity, the minimum award being for
20 and the maximum award for 40
acceptable books. for all grades ex-
cept the first which has minimum
of 10. However, the children get
enthused and some read over 100,
one even reported 1870.
This past year showed a sub
stantial increase in the number of
certificates earned, 392 being given
out. These 1872 pupils reported on
1894 books or an average of
slightly over 40 each. This does not
count the books read and reported
by those not earning awards.
Mrs. Jessie Fagerberg, County
Superintendent Of Schools and Miss
Inez Ratekin. County Librarian are
pleased with the results of the
plan and the cooperation of the
schools. They feel that the reading
of good books is an essential fac
tor in a child's education and helps
to correlate their other lessons also

"A Citizen representative. asked,

cash their bonds, now that the
60-day limit has expired. Yes, sir,

GUAM, June 4. Jap
propagandists were busy to-
day trying to counterfeit the
effects of President Tru-
mans message to the Jap
people, copies of which have
been dropped over Japan in
quantities of half a million
at a time.
Jap radio announcers told
their listeners that the part
of Tokyo that had been de-
stroyed i by firebombs has
had railroad traffic, cleo
tricity and water restored,
and that the efforts of the
United States to scare the
japanese populace sprung
from a desire to end the war
because the Americans are
far more war weary than
what we are"
They said further that
American cities will be de-
stroyed by bombs as Japan
csc cities have been destroy
de, declaring that balloons
containing high explosives
are being released daily, and
that they will eventually ex-
'plode in American territory.
They said further that the
balloons are sent up into the
stratosphere and are piloted
by Japs, "who will see to it
that they will fall on the
United States"

involved with a couple of other peo-
pie whose proportions also were con-
slderably above par. One was William
+. BOyce, daShing grandfather OF
.d9, who once conducted a transcon-
tinental medicine show and who, u
years ago, won second place in a ma
tionwide contest for the most attrac-
tive male physique.
The second was Mrs. Byrd Boyce,
Williams wife, who used to be phys
ical culture instructor before becom-
ing Miami Ration Board secretary.
Mrs. Boyce was strolling along the
Miami beach the other day when,
she said later, she saw beauty whom
she identified as Irmgard, and her
luSDeulN Vi dAiiIlS ihBiDoll 6AeiSoCo III
the latter'S speedboat
That evening she trailed William
to the apartment Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Tommy Jacobs in Miami Beach, she
said, and. listening outside the door,
heard him telephone for someone
10 come over. She took off one of
her high-heel shoes and waited for
the visitor When the visitor. Irm-
gard, arrived, she went to work so
effectively that the beauty contest
winner, arriving in court the next
morning with a bandaged head and
one hand in a plaster cast, charged
her with assault with intent to kill.
An offer was made later to with
draw the charge, providing Mrs
Boyce would say it was all a mistake,
because the publicity was not only
deterring Irmgard's efforts to get her
citizenship papers, but was also de
laying her intended departure for
Hollywood.
