10TH HELD UNDER
$4,000 BONDS FOR
SUPREME COURT

Andrew 10th, formerly of Madison.
now or PeJepscot, was before Judge
Elmer w. Sawyer at a hearing in the
western Somerset Municipal court
tuesday afternoon, charged with
hon-support of his wife and child,
one year old. County Attorney
James II. Thorne of North Arson
represented the State and the res
pondent was represented by Attor-
ney J. E. Clifford. Jr., of Clifford and
Clifford, Lewiston, as the parties are
S!avs. John Margecan Jr of Lisbon,
VINO speaks eight languages, was en-
pioyed as interpreter. The States
witnesses were Mrs. Andrew 10th.
who carried her little child in her
arms and Mrs. Annie Mingan, both
OF Madison. The defense called the
respondent and his sister-in-law.
Mrs. Joseph 10th of Lisbon. The
state claimed cruel and abusive
treatment beside non support and the
defense put in testimony trying to
prove in all conduct between Mrs.
roth and her cousin, Steve Cher
genah, who boarded at her home, and
that the respondent was willing to
reside at home with Mrs. 10th and
little child, if she would 60 to
Pejepscot and live with him. There
was much discussion on between
some four or six thousand dollars
which had been saved by the Toths.
during the time that Mrs. 10th had
worked in the mill and which. was
entered at the bank in both their
names until recently, Mr.. 10th haG
changed the account to his own
name. At the close of the testimony
both attorneys made forceful argu-
ments. Judge Sawyer stated that
both in the testimony presented and
in the arguments made much had
been brought in beside the general
issue of non-support which Attorney
in his argument claimed the State
had not proven. County Attorney
Thorne claimed that the respondent
had refused to pay dime toward
the support of his wife and child.
The case was outside the jurisdic-
ton of Judge Sawyer. who found
probable cause apd held the respond
ent for the grand jury at the Sep
TENDER term of the Supreme Judicial
Court, placing the bonds at $4,000
which were furnished. The inter-
prefer and Mrs. Joseph 10th went
as bondsmen.

authoritative Information on this i'm
portant subject in the hands Of the

activities Of the Maine Public Health
Association this summer. Under the
auspices of the association Mrs.
Winifred Hathaway, Secretary of the
National Committee for the Proven
ton of Blindness, New York. has
just concluded a special course Of
lectures at the University Of Maine.
This week. with the cordial coopera-
ton of the State Department Of
Education, Mrs. Hathaway IL lectur-
ing on Conservation Of Vision at the
State Normal School At Castine.
Those who are attending these
classes do not hesitate to commend
them for the practical good that they
do. Many children are backward"
in their studies because Of eye de-
fects. Mrs. Hathaway points out
ways in. which these handicaps to an
tirely eliminated. The child with de-
fective vision is to be seated in the
school room in such a way that his
handicap will be mimimized. Often
the parents do not suspect that the
child needs attention given his eyes
and this situation Is to be met by
notes to and conferences with the
parents.
1t was through the efforts Of the
Eye Section Of the Maine Public
Health Association that Mrs. Hatha-
way was brought to Maine. Few
persons realize what IL means to be
blind or to have the eyesight i'm
paired almost to the point Of blind
ness" a member OF the M r. H. A.
Eye Section said today, "Nor do
they realize the difficulty which the
child of poor vision has in keeping
up" with the rest Of the class. Much
defective vision Is caused by diseases
of the eye which prompt attention

Maine Public Health Association
seeks to correct the causes Of these
eye troubles and to impress upon the
general public the need for more at
tention to this important phase Of
public health work"
