i u ranee that Armstrong - himself would
do all within his power to aid the boy.
His ' message to those interested here

the charges against him, because of their
high regard for the boy and their be
lief that he would not get mixed up In
such a crime, and that Armstrong him
self would come to Oregon to render any

he has always . been such a good
hearted " boy to everyone, and has ;i al
ways been so good to me.
"Uut I am trusting in God and ' an
honest and sincere "and sympathetic
jury for his -acquittal, and am waiting
to see my boy coming home to his aged
mother. He is my baby boy. and my
" heart-, has gone out for his return every
hour since I have learned of 'his troa
ble, , ',..,- .
KIND TO HIS MOTHER
"Oh: If the people there only knew
what a good-hearted boy Russell is.
con t believe they could hold him; as
one accused.' I have -always . tried to
bring up my boys to be honorable and
upright, and I can truthfully say he
has always been kind to mej and: al
ways fhad respect for all with' whom h
came ' in contact. Russell has many
friends who are waiting to welcome; his
return. - . i-' ,.f)
Trusting In God for his liberty! and
safe : return. God.., only knows how 1
love my baby boy. and him ; so far

Dental clirilcs will probaly be estab
lished in the Portland schools this year
under the auspices of the Portland Den
tal association ' and sponsored by the
Junior Red Cross. Mrs. Blanche Blu
ms uer appeared before the board and
expressed the desires of the two organi
sations and the benefits to be obtained
therefrom. The plan would involve two
central clinics, three portables for the
outlying schools, five full time nurses,
the visit of each school once a year and
the formal charge of 10 cents for each
operation. j f
ACTI03T DEFERRED
The directors expressed themselves
heartily in favor of the move, but de-j;
f erred action until the return of Super
intendent D. A. Grout. The clinic will
be of no expense to the district and
while It will in no way interfere with
parental prerogatives, it ; will afford
each child opportunity to have his teeth
examined and cared for. Recent report
of the medical association showed that
80 per cent of the children need dental
care. ' v
That the old Couch school building,

is structurally sound except the. ex
Lterior steps and porches, was the verdict
of H. E. Plummer, building inspector,
who made a thorough examination.
REPAIRS ARE URGED ' jj
Plummer recommended that under the
present conditions of high cost of build
ing, the structure be renovated. Installed
with heating, plumbing, wiring and other
new facilities, painted and remodeled;
sufficient to warrant Its use for a num
ber of years. The board voted to have
estimates made of the expense. j
Until the James John high school will
be ready for use this fall, tbs three
portables at the school will be used so
far as possible for the students of the
first two years. The overflow ". will be
accommodated in the Peninsula ' school
