Fourteen men were shot,
among them a policeman and

No doubt the fact that Mr. and Mrs
Steiner had several day previously
become the proud parents of a daugh-

the choosing of this particular giving
project
The Senior Scouts delivered their
gifts to Mr.. and Mrs Steiner Mon
day evening. They are living tempo
rarily with her parents in Pandora.
The gifts included bedding and re-
placement articles which were burned
in the fire.
The seventh and eighth grade girl
scout troop also purchased gifts for
Mr.. and Mrs. Steiner and delivered
them to Pandora. These were items
of clothing.
The sixth grade girl scout troop
went to the Memorial home and dec

The combined meeting of the 7th,
9Th and 9th grades was held as a
Christmas party at the home of Mrs.
