GOOD NEIGHBORS' FUND TURNED OVER TO DIST. 71 BOARD Good Neighbors' fund for Mrs. Edward Hilmer and her children reached $1,591.75... The Telegram today turned the fund, which is on deposit in Central National bank, over to the three members of the Dist. 71 school board - Otto Arndt, Ervin Mueller and Wm. J. Euteneuer - who will administer it, jointly, as trustees on behalf of Mrs. Hilmer and the children.
