Charles H. Schneer, twelve-year-old Jewish boy of this city, has just completed a series of articles which appeared in the Roanoke World-News on the Century of Progress at the Chicago world’s fair.
Young Schneer sent his stories from Chicago and they appeared daily in the paper with his photograph and “by-line.” For the most part the stories were unedited, according to the newspaper executives, and were well-received by the readers of the paper.
