He immediately gave it to his teacher, Miss Lina Abbott, who inquired at the church for the owner. Then she phoned all mothers living near the church and next contacted the school-but no re- sult, Lastly she decided to con- tact each of the grocery stores, and on the first attempt "struck oil". Although Mr. Lankin knew nothing, yet Mrs. Lankin knew that it was the six-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Joyce who lost the money. Tuesday afternoon the $2 bill was returned to Mrs. Joyce who was much relieved to get it back, for money doesn't grow on trees in 1967. Billy had decided to give it to the League of Loyalty if the owner could not be found.
