Dear Jimmie:-

I am Just bone, after a few days at Lexington; and
while there, I saw Colonel Henry J. Stitee, an attorney
at law with offic«.as in the .'“truflzs Wilding. '

Colonel Stitos is Vice-President of the Board of the
Iiindman Settlement school; and during the course of a con-
feronce which WU hold, he inflow-zed me that the cortwnoenont
exercises for the school will be held on May 81, 1949. He
invited me, because cf the feet that I become President of
the Kentucky State Bar Association on April 5th., to preside
as Chairman of this meeting; and the principal apeelrer at
the commencemmt exercises will be Governor Clements who has
already accepted the invitation to doliVor the address.

Colonel Stitea informed me that there would be a largo number
of outstanding bfielcillCCS and professional men from Eastern
Kentucky and other sections of the state, invited to be present
on that occasion; further, thet there will be a general rc-
quoet for all friends 0:: the school in Knott County and adjoin-
ing counties, to be present and to provide food and have a
picnic upon the grounds on that day; and that it was onticipat-v
ed that there would be three thousand or more people there

for timt meeting.

It occurs to me that it would be an interesting; item for
you to home a special article in regard to the school, accom-
panied by photographs in your magazine section or the Courier
Journal some time about the first or second Sunday in May;
and that this should be followed up with 9. special write up
of the amazement exercises and of the address of Gov-wrnox'
Clements; and any other phase or the meeting on May Blot.
which would be interesting from a news point of View.

I do not know of any scho:l in Eastern Kentucky or else-
where which is doing: a greater work for people, then does
