YOUTH IS SOUGHT
Hope Naw. ef Boy Will Prolong
Grandmother's Life
Somewhere this very morning
a lad is roaming far from hi*
Springfield, Mass., home—if in­
jury or deah has not befallen
him—the while his mother, Celia
Chodrofve, is sending queries to
all parts of the country in hope
of getting word of him.
His grandmother is critically
ill, and it is hoped that news of
his safety would prolong her life.
Hi* name is David J. Chodrowe
but his mother thinks he may be
using the name "David James.”
For those who may have seen
the lad, the mother gives this
description :
His height. 6 feet 2 inches;
weight, 195 pounds; complexion,
medium; eyebrows, dark and
heavy; eyes, hazel color; “quiet,
unassuming,
doesn’t
make
friends”; uses perfect English
and is a constant reader of good
literature—visits libraries.
His mother will be glad to
know if any one has seen him
any time in the past year, and
where.
Write to Mrs. Celia Chodrowe,
121 Daviston St., Springfield.
Mass.

VOTERS KEPT POSTED
Probably at no previous election in this dis-
trict were the people furnished with a more com-
plete descriptive outline of the grade school con-t
ditions prevailing, the assessment of taxes, etc.,
than at the bond election held Tuesday.
Two members of the school board, W. w.
Wolff and A. C. Knauss furnished facts, figures
and all other information for the benefit of the
resident district tarpayer who was eligible to vote,
so that he could go to the polls, with an actual un­
derstanding of increased taxation.
The findings of the Citizens Advisory Board
committee which had been appointed by the school
board to assist in determining means to improve
grade school conditions, were published in a series
of articles in the Eagle, and letters were also mail­
ed by members of the committee, to those eligible
to vote, so that every conceivable fact regarding
the proposed school bond election, and the purpose
of holding such an election was brought to the at­
tention of the public.
The Eagle congratulates the students and
teachers of. Washington school on their prospects
of soon being housed in a modern beautiful school
building, and the home paper also wishes to thank
Messrs Wolff and Knauss for unselfishly giving
their personal time, advising the voting public, the
absolutely necessity of a new grade school, supply­
ing the individual resident taxpayer with straight
clean cut facts before the election.
