OIL MAN SEEKS TO CARE
FOR 40 BRITISH CHILDREN
Kopperl, July 21.—Application to
bring 40 English children to Bosque
County for care, schooling and pro-
tection has been made by Barney
Carter, Tyler oil man and owner of
farm lands near Kopperl.
Carter proposes to erect dormi-
tories on his farms, and to employ
supervisors to care for the children,
and has made informal application to
enroll them in the Kopperl school.
The entire proposal, however, is
said to depend upon whether the
English and American governments
agree upon a plan of bringing Eng-
lish children to this country, and upon
the availability of ships and convoys.
