'While Indian' Girl To Return To Texas Works In Store To Finance Her Trip FITCHBURG, Mass., UP — Million dollar babies aren’t the only thing you find in the five-and-ten-cent store. “White Indians,” too! Yalamulankastidanamutson, or Kim, as she prefers to be called, was discovered today working in a dime store here. She explained that she’s earning money to finance her triumphant return to Texas—on horseback. . “I’ll be leaving here May 9, my 18th birthday,” said the gray-eyed brunette. “I’ll follow Route 11 to Meridian, Miss., then route 80 to Fort Worth. Shouldn't take me more than three months.” It was near Fort Worth that Kim was found living in the woods 16 months ago. She convinced some people she had left a wandering tribe of “White Indiana” near the Yukon and made her way south. But a. device of. paJefaca.,sivWation betrayed her. An alert sheriff discovered her real name—Yvonne Hanks — on her brassiere. Police records showed that she was listed as a runaway. Her father, Richard Hanks, who runs a tavern here, went to Texas and brought her home. Howpver, a taste of Texas was all Kim needed. She loves the wide open spaces and is determined to go back there to live, on a ranch. Already she has her black riding habit, her boots and saddle and, what is more important, her horse. The horse, gift from an aunt, is a registered Morgan bay named Honey. For protection on the 1,-900-mile trip Kim will take along her collie, Shaitan. “I didn’t have any trouble when I hitchhiked last time,” Kim said, “and I don’t expect any this time.” National Forests in North Carolina cover 1,118,063 acres, the largest amount of land in the state under single administration, as the Pisgah - Croqtan and Nantahala forests have been combined into a single group designated as the North Carolina National Forests.

Sitdown Strike Is Staged At School Mother, Son Wage Strike In Illinois HALF DAY, 111., UP —An irate mother said today that she and her 13-year-old son Will continue a schoolroom sitdown strike, now in its fifth day. until the boy’a expulsion is lifted. Frank Dawson was expelled for misatng Haases too often. But be and. his mother, Marie, 39, have a perfect attendance record since they started occupying folding chairs at the back of the seventh and eighth grade classroom last Wednesday. Mrs. Dawson said she wouldn’t miss any of teacher-principal Charles F. Kerry’s classes until Frank was readmitted to the eighth grade. But the school board met today to find some way to force her 'into truancy. Neither the officials or Mrs. Dawson had any idea, however, what steps might be taken. “it would be pretty hard to ju»t throw her out,” county superintendent of schools W. C. Petty said. Mrs. Dawson said she didn’t know what the board planned either, but she and her husband, Joseph a farmer, didn’t want to talk about the case any more. Petty said Mrs. Dawson’s feud with the school started aboqt two months ago when Frank missed • classes for a week. The boy bad been promoted to the eighth grade, Petty sold, on condition that his “poor” attendance record last year be improved to “almost perfect” this year. Kerry apparently thought the boy’s week-long absence waa nßt Justified and sent him back to tie seventh grade, Petty said. The boy walked out. His. mother sent him back with a demand that he be given an eighth grade test. The school refused. Then Frank stayed out six weeks and finally was expelled, Petty said.
