Lawrence Drafts Legislative Bills
Jesse H. Lawrence, State Representative from the 42nd District, and the only race member of Kentucky's law making body announced to The Leader this week that he has prepared two of the bills which he will introduce to the Assembly during its present session. Bill H. B. 12 has to do with provisions to give more assistance to the "needy aged with a reasonable subsistence compatible with decency and health." The bill would increase the monthly allotment from the present $21.60 to $45, as a minimum to a maximum of $50. The second bill to be offered by Mr. Lawrence has to do with a formal course in citizenship to be "taught in the ninth grade as a part of the regular curriculum, in all the common schools ... having for its goal, the development of the pupils, of a more tolerant attitude toward all their fellowmen; the [inculpils?], of that quality of character and integrity of mind which is consistent with a democratic heritage as expressed in the Federal Constitution and Bill of Rights; and the forceful recognition by the pupils of those individual responsibilities arising out of citizenship in a political and social organization founded on freedom and justice for all.

CHILD BURNED IN THREE-STORY FIRE Bobby Jean Styles, 3-year-old child of Mrs. Lela Styles, 1506 W. Chestnut, was burned to death as a result of a fire which firemen believed started when an oil stove exploded in the room.  The child was declared dead from burns when carried to General Hospital.  Mrs. Leola Wooden, who lived in the second-floor apartment saved her six months old baby by dropping her out of the window into the arms of the firemen, who took four other persons from the upper floors by ladders.
