FACTS DUE PUBLIC Advertising b y political andidates has been regulated by an act of congress, and one such advertisement in las^ A’eek s Daily Banner came under this act. It was the one signed by “Committee of Taxpayers.■’ The advertismer.t was paid for by Mrs. Myrtle I Codings, candidate for joint senator from Putnam and Montgomery counties on the Democrat ticket. The advertisement content also inferred that Sen. Lane voted for the widows’ pension bill. The Scnite Jouri al. official record >f the upper house, docs not carry the name of Sen. Lane as voting for this bill.
Ycuth Activities Deserve Backing Among the youth activities within Putnam County that deserve financial backing of Putnam county citizens in that of Girl Scouts. This fact was established when the Board of Directors of the Putnam County Community Chest placed that organization among the benefiting groups of the Community Chest fund. The campaign is ceheduled to open November 12.
