Reward Increased to Three Hundred for Missing Lester Stafford
John Toale guardian of Lester J Stafford of Guilford raised the reward to 300 for the recovery or body of Stafford, who vanished from home in October. Earlier a reward of 100 was offered.

A search extended toward Leyden Maks, and concerns arose about who died first if his body is found for estate distribution.
