Although it is not pos- #ible to make cemplete analysis and comparison between figures for this and last year, as this report covers only nine months, it is noteworthy and self evident that the number of men and women placed on probation for drunkenness and misdeeds re- sulting from the use in intoxicants, I still on thd decrease. In fact there is & marked difference in the number of total arrests for all kinds of mis- demeanors, due to the practical abolishment of the saloon and en- Court Among the to officer for There forcement of the Volstead act. There is yet, even in our own city, persi tent and wiiful violation of the fed- eral law. The net, however, is grad- ually being closed and wsome of the men who thus violate the constitu- tion may sooh find themselves in trouble. As the social and moral at- mosphere becomes purer and the is- #ue involved clearer, all law abiding citizens are interested in seeing the law upheld and obeyed. and future generations protected from the evils we Fave had to contend with resulting from the liquor traffic. “The Bo irresponsible and care- free as he is, appears to have been on his good behavior, as the arrests show o less number have gottem into trouble.

Both of these’ agencies have been a factor in keeping the boys and girls out of court. New Britain is to be congratulated on the new building now in course of erection for the Roys’ club, made possible by the generosity of her citizens. The good work already ac- complished by the Cook brothers is indicative of what will be achieved when the building is completed, as with increased room and equipment they can more readily ,handle the s who take advantage of the privileges offered by the club. Miss Cora M. Beale, our part time woman officer, continues to lay the emphasis on preventing the girl and woman from acquiring a court rec- ord. The major part of her proba- tion work is carried on in the manner best adapted fo this end. Miss Beale's Work.
