Nine Children Conducting
Interesting Project OF

TO DONATE PROFITS

A group of nine children in The

Quoting an interesting project dur
ing vacation from school, the pub
ication of a weekly newspaper
called Junior Special, which is is
sued on Saturdays. At present the
paper is being typed and the
youthful editors have as their first
aim the saving of enough money
to buy printing press. Any pro-
fits over their expenses will be
donated to polio sufferers. The
first edition on August contain
ed spot news, social and personal
bits, a humorous section, reports
by the rowing reporters, and the
Saga of Smyrna, a serial story
of suspense. The brief story end
ed with the words: "Police Chief
Jacobs was chasing the criminal
when all of a sudden a shot rang
but" Joan Niles, editor, said that
they hoped everyone would want
the next issue to see what hap
pens next. Other members of the
staff include Nelson Everhart III,
assistant editor; Jerome D. Niles
III, chief reporter; Karen Ever
hart, proof reader and reporter:
Bruce Potter, reporter and assist
ant paper boy; James Everhart,
Kay Everhart, John Truax, and
"Bucky" Still, reporters. The pap
er is produced at the Niles home,
and is sold to 81 subscribers in
Lake Como Gardens, and costs
five cents each issue. In order
that they may not be sued" all
news has to be looked over by
the following chain of command
to control items: first, the top
reporter, followed by the proof
reader, assistant editor, and edi-
tor. There is no juvenile delin-
quency in Lake Como Gardens
with project such as this going
on and being taken seriously by
the youthful workers. There is
need for a reporter about ten
years of age, and one who is able
to write well, according to the
editor A qualified person may
make application to the staff
