Tentative plans call for the for and of the ex- penditure of approximately $150,- 000, the cost in excess of the bond issue being available for the pur pose and coming in part from the sale of property at the coun ty home.

ANN HALE BROWN Betty Jean McNeill Second; And Susan Singleton Third With Saturday ending the first period in the Popular Baby Contest and a decline in votes thereafter every contestant tossed all their accumulated votes into the box and brought about a ballot few changes in the Honor Roll stand ing. Ann Hale Brown slipped into first place with Betty Jean McNeill showing up for second. Susan Sing leton came up from fifth to third position. Then Ann Malloy, last week’s headliner, went into fourth place closely following by Stephen C. Chasen in fifth. James Malcolm Varnum stepped up one place to sixth while the rest of the field remained about as last week. This switching around of the top six candidates just goes to show how closely they are bunched to gether and also indicates how just the matter of five or ten years of subscription can make a candidate step up three or four places the honor roll. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12.
