July and January next year,
office space for all 150 state

and new committee rooms will
be provided. A painting con-

Any suggestions?
That lost fishing lantern

week is still lost. Sam said
the hight had already gone out
when they got there. However,
Boots said Sam was dragging
for the thing with a baited h-
ook, about six feet off the b-

Congratulations, 18-year olds.
For decades you’ve been old
enough to fight and die in wars,
be treated as an adult in the va-
rious courts of our land, as
the case may be; and a few
other monor umpleasantries—
And now you have the right
to help elect or vote down those
who have and will make the laws
of this nation.
Your ideas and especially
your vote can change other in-
justices, wherever they may
occur.
Get with it.
DID YOU KNOW?
For every thousand req-
uest to one large missing per-
sons tracing agency to locate
a missing husband, it receives
only four requests to locate
a missing wife ?
Do fewer wives run away
or do husbands of missing w-
ives care less than wives of
missing husbands.
