Hoch replied that Post often sent for the recommendations and acted on them.

At 2 o'clock, however hope was being held out for | young Carter's recovery. } Mr. O'Keefe, who is listed as a laborer at the Standard Refinery, re- ported himself to the police as being the driver of the car which struck Carter. He indicated to the police that he had been going “pretty fast" that the boys turned out in front of him, and that he could not stop the car in time. It is believed at the hospital that the impact of being hit by the car threw Carter against the curbing, this accounting for the serious injuries to his head. COUNTRY TODAY
