Eight-year-old Yvonne Schmeets, one of eight children, living at 20237 1/2 Saticoy St., Canoga Park, found $140 in a bank money bag Wednesday afternoon and unhesitatingly gave it to her father. 'I couldn't help but be impressed with such honesty from a man with eight children and a wife,' Officer R. S. Stanford wrote in his police report after Hendrick Schmeets gave the money to him."
