Swift— Red Cross Fund $1,252.50—Birthday Surprise Party. Wednesday morning Steve Faber ‘was brought before Judge A. M. Brown on five counts’of not sending his daughter Alice to school for five con- secutive weeks. On the 14th of April she went to see Mr. Buchanan, the state truant officer, to obtain a work- ing certificate. She was told that she could not have this until she had passed the fifth grade and could pass the state test. She was told to go back to school but did not. Word was then sent home through her brother that the law said that she/ must come to school or the father would be ar- rested and made to pay a fine—yet she came not. Then the principal went down to see the father in the Slater Mills and the law was explain- €d to Mr. Faber by an interpreter but he said that he didn’t care whether he went to court or not. Then the mat- ter was reported to Mr. Buchanan who took the pains to write a letter to Mr. Faber explaining the laws again. The letter was registered so it was receiv- ed. No effect. Then Mr. Buchanan came down and had Mr. Faber sum- moned into court. The case came up .| Wednesday morning. The man.was fined $25 and costs which amounted to £10.36, making- a total of $35.36. The man was given the choice of paying this or if he would send the child to school after this time that he would let off with a fine of $5 and costs amounting to $15.36. This arrange- ment was finally agreed to and this fine was paid. Another vital matter of importance came to the attention of this court. When the man was interviewed at the mills he said “America no good—no good.” This man was warned against repeating_any such statements in the future.

Frechette boys, Arthur and Louis, have been ‘“over there” one year May 23, they have not vet been fortunate enotigh to meet at any time. Louis, the younger brother, entered France as a private, and by faithful work has now the rating of sergeant. Arthur entered the navy and is today navigator on the U. . S. Howard. Arthur has had the pleas- ure while in France of meeting two of his earlier friends, John Prior and Herbert Gates, well known Moosup young men, who are sailors in Uncle Sam’s navy. Both the Frechette boys are in the best of health and although they would like very much to be back in Moosup they are glad to be in France doing their bit toward gaining world-wide democracy. Send-off Given Local Boys. A large number of local people ga- thered at the station Wednesday af- ternoon and gave the boys leaving for Camp Upton, a rousing send-off. The young men left Moosup on the quartet of three train for Willimantic to re- port in the evening, leaving today (Thursday) from Willimantic for the camp.
