Newspaperboys Save and Spend on National Day

Governor Allan Shivers proclaims Newspaperboy Day to honor boys like Billy Stevens and George Frederick.

Both walk thickly populated routes, one saving money while the other spends. Billy is son of Mr and Mrs W W Stevens and George is son of Mr and Mrs J F Frederick.
