Prize List in Campaign Just Opening
This is Nomination Week in the Stamford Leader’s
Great $4000 Automobile and Prize Circulation Campaign,
so called because a particular effort is being made to get
the ambitious folks to enter this week and thus get an ear-
ly start toward one of the motor cars or other awards to
be given to those who will assist in still further increas-
ing the circulation of this publication.
THE CAMPAIGN IS JUST OPENING and it is im-
possible to tell at this early date who will be in and who
will not. There are a number of men and women think-
ing about entering the campaign. They would like to have
a new car. They would like to make $1,345 in a few short
weeks. They could do it if they would. But there is
something lacking. Decision is lacking. The action is
missing. They see the opportunity—yet, they hesitate. If
you are one of those who are waiting and wondering,
wait no longer. This is likely the greatest opportunity of
your life time. Grasp it. Every day you wait now means
just that much time lost You could be piling up a big
vote and placing yourself in a position to win.
Votes will determine the winners of three won-
derful automobiles and these are obtained by clipping the

Col. Lindbergh is Greeted by Thousands
Abilene Last Monday, Though Weather
Bad. 60,000 People Crowded Streets
There was never such a day
for Abilene as last Monday.
It will likely he many days
l**fore there wijl be such a
day.
Lindbergh was there, and
as he has done some of the
most daring things in the his-
tory of mankind, the main big
thing being the solo flight over
the Atlantic, in wind and ram
sleet and snow. The people
were there by the tens of
thousands. In the matter of
estimating the crowd. 60,000 to
75,000 people would not go far
afield.
It was a great day. There
was not a hitch There was a
fine sj>eech by Mayor Thomas
E.Hayden, Jr., there was a fine
self.
Stamford was glad to have a
l>art in the crowd,-and the ferur
people who represented Stam-
ford as special receivers of
*‘Lindy” certainly felt pleased
to have that honor, there being
four in the crowd, namely:
Mayor Warren B. Taypjan, Miss
Rebecca Harlan, G. tE. Inglish
and Frank M. Locke. These rode
in one of the eighty automo-
biles that made up the line of
march, there being an average
of four persons to every car.
It would he great to have
Lindbergh visit Stamford, but
when we consider that it took
every sort of wire-pulling and
influence to get him to go to

sion last Tuesday evening went
on record again in the matter
of HEALTH for the pupils and
teachers of the Stamford Pub-
lic Schools. Miss Waggoner,
Nutrionist, Red Cross, was pre-
sent to urge the consideration
of hot lunch service at least at
the Elementary schools on Mor-
an street and at the High
School. The need is apparent. A
committee of principals, teach-
ers, and a board member has
been named to go into details
of the matter. A meeting has
been held alreadv. At 'Ms time
no definite statement has been
prepared to indicate what the
committee may be thinking to
recommend. It is hoped, how-
ever. that the service may be
begun at both of these
schools.. If so, it would only

VEGETABLES FOR ALL
It makes little difference about the time of year,
fresh vegetables are always good for the tired man,
no matter what he works at. Of course, we are now
entering the seasons of the year when some people
• say they must have more or less meat, and they may
l>e right. We have that for sale, too, in cured meats
such as hams, bacon and tinned goods. But we have
the fresh goods in the line of vegetables that we are
particularly anxious for you to call and examine.
By the way: Remember the Parking Space is
Free here and the Speed Copper will tell you it is all
right, too.
