But not if 250 signers of a petition can stop him. Here, Mrs. Shorter Rankin, right, signs the petition held by Mrs. John J. Dunn, leader of the signing project, 12306 El Oro Way. That's Lee Rankin, 3, held by his mother. In the background are Mrs. Lon Blunt, holding Beth, 2, and Mrs. Norman Nielsen with Kenton, 5.
