Ray
Beard Says It Was “Blue Slip” He Found.
--- 5-10-34
The transient boy who received a pair of roller skates had gone to parts unknown, but the story lingers on. The Tribune last week printed the story giving its several different versions, one in which Mrs. Alice King, formerly a caseworker in Cowley county, said she had paid for the skates; a second by Commissioner W. F. Walker in which he had written that the county order for said skates had been “sent in” “rejected”, and “of which we now have.” Still a third version in which Ray Beard, of the skates

correct, no doubt accounts for Mr. Beard’s mistake. He then told the writer Mr. Walker desired to talk to him over the wire. The commissioner then accused the writer of not desiring to publish Mr. Beard’s correction, despite the fact he had been told a short time before that the true status of the said county order would be published. He called the writer a cur, a liar, after which verbal assault he threatened violence of some sort or other. The writer only heard him say something about, “I'll whip you etc.,” and about coming right down to the Tribune office, but did not do so according to the quaking writer’s seismograph. He was told the latch string was always out.
The writer who has now been delegated to the ranks occupied by Miss Martha Mary Brady, Mrs. Alice King, J. R. Smith, A. S. Kin-inmonth, L. C. Brown, Fred Leach, Attorney Janicke, and perhaps others, attempted to give the commissioner over the telephone a personal reading but he had hung up the receiver. Most distressing! Voila! _
“Well won’t that be just ducky?” was all the writer could think when he was promised that the commissioner might be down to the Tribune office to administer a chastisement. Thoughts of a fight since the old abdomen has become rotund, brought back memories of childhood when the writer thought as a child and he too was going to whip somebody and Grandma would say, “Son where do you bury all your dead?” She was the first fight-trainer the writer had and as Kentucky women did she believed in man defending himself against man, or even duck out of season, when it became necessary but above all to try to win by equalizing a heavy weight class with his own by whatever methods were necessary. References can be given that the early -eachings made him “virginal” in -aving to take lickings. Grandma always told the other children of he neighborhood; “That boy is especially dangerous when he is smiling.” And the writer is smiling now as he is composing.
The Tribune does not find it humiliating to correct any errors X rather delights in getting the -acts right. So when it proclaims hat Mr. Beard says he did send -n the original county order it is happy to publish the statement. It Would have it no other way. Oh goodness, the writer hopes this clear “its” skirts, and is signing off with its nicest woof! woof!
Present Demands To Commission
A group of members of the Unemployed League called at the Tribune office following the meeting of the county commissioners Monday of this week. They stated that they had sent a committee to Winfield to demand the resignation of L. J. Bennett from his office. The members of the committee representing the League were A. H. Bradbury, J. H. Mott, Frank Coberly, Tom Burris and Bill Laniger. Mr. Laniger acted as spokesman for the committee. After the committee had presented its demand the board members said a meeting would be held to make a decision in the matter. The Unemployed were asked to file any requests or charges they desired to make for bettering poor relief, they said. 5-10-34
Mrs. Millers’ Report
A total of 1,665 cases were investigated by county case workers during April, Mrs. Jessie Miller, case supervisor, announced in her monthly statement made public Thursday. This total represents a dependency total of approximately 6,435 persons, Mrs. Miller said. 5-18-34
Y-SCOUT DRIVE RAISED $4,110
Campaign Comes to Close; Not Quite to the Goal 5-11-34
The grand total of the Y. M. C. A.-Y. W. C. A.-Boy Scout finance campaign came to $4,110 it was reported Friday noon as the workers on the drive held their final luncheon in the Y. M. C. A. building. Although the campaign is officially over, there are a number of cards still out, and the total should be several hundred dollars more when the last card comes in.
C. B. Tingley, general chairman of the drive, commended the workers on their efforts and cooperation, and gave a special word of thanks to Lester Osborn, whose fine record here helped materially in collecting the amount obtained.
In behalf of the Y. M. C. A, organization, Mr. Osborn gave his thanks to Mr. Tingley the workers for the unselfish support which they had given to the campaign. He said that although the $6,750 quota set at the beginning of the drive had not been reached, the Y. M. C. A.. Scouts and Y. W. C. A., would get along on the money they had and continue to “hit the ball.”
After praising Harry Long for the work he had done, and expressing thanks for publicity that was contributed, Mr. Tingley called on the division leaders, Alfred Sowden and Dr. Parker C. Hardin, who thanked their workers for the support which they had given.
More Thanks
Mr. Tingley also thanked the Caine family for furnishing enjoyable music each day that the workers met, and to the cooking class of Miss Edith Ames, who waited on the tables.
Harold Loucks called for a rising vote of thanks to Mr. Tingley, and after enthusiastic applause for the general chairman the meeting adjourned,
Charles L. Hinchee led the workers in several songs during the meeting.
