With no Kiwanis Crippled Clinic this month, the next regular clinic will be held at the basement of the Rosemary Baptist Church on Wednesday, Sept. 16. All patients are requested to return for treatment then and persons knowing of any crip pled persons, especially children, are requested to bring them to these clinics. Editorially we again ask for letters from our } readers on any public question. And we do not mean such as this one received from nearby: “— -has been in the — grade — years. She went to the creek yesterday and she cried if any one threw water on her. She would say you hateful devil. I am going to tell my mama on you. Please put this in the Herald next week. From One Who Knows.” We print this, with the name left out at the first, for just one reason. It was evidently written by a child about another child but that does not keep it from being spiteful. It would only have caused some little girl to feel worse than she already feels. And the writer did not have the courage to sign his or her name. Our reason for printing as much as we did is to show the kind we I will NOT print. Nothing spiteful, nothing unsign ed and nothing we believe to be untrue or defama tory.

Early in an interview today regarding action of the City Board of Commissioners in discharging him Tuesday. “I have not been officially notified yet of my discharge and to date have beard it only by street gossip. I had no intimation that any such action would be taken as there had never been any official criticism or suggestions or ad vie kfrom the Mayor or Board concerning my office. The three members of the Board who voted to retain me have agreed to my request for a hearing before the Board in order that I might hear the charges against me for tile first time. East night, a fourth member of the Board also agreed that I was entitled to a hearing. All I desire is a chance to protect my self so I can make plans for the future of myself and family.” i ne only otner thing 1 desire tos say publicly at this time is to quote the words of Woodrow Wilson: ‘I would rather fail in a cause that will some day triumph than to tri umph in a cause that will some day fail’ The above statement came as a result of the City Board meeting Tuesday, when, on recommendation of Mayor Jenkins, the Board tied up three to three on motion to dis miss Chief Early. The Mayor un tied the tie by voting to dismiss. At the same session, the Board appointed H. E. Dobbins as Chief of Police to assume his duties when Mr. Early leaves.
