BILL TO

Itcbekas To Mect--Cathoiic Church
 Notes-Board of Relief Meets - Church Noticcs-Woman's Feder-
 ation Mccts--Plalnyillc Briefs. I Representative J. J. Kimmell Of Plainyille yesterday introduced a bill into the house of representatives which, if 1t passed, will help greatly town courts throughout the state and will also replenish the town treas uries for money which they are now required to expend in the prosecu- tion of the state motor vehicle laws.
 At present the law requires that any arrest for violation of the motor vehicle laws of the state shall be prosecuted by the towns in which they are made, and the cost thereof shall in the event that there Is no conviction, be borne by the town in which the case is tried. The same holds true when a conviction is made but the fines so imposed are paid to the state and used to make new roads and repair the present state highways. Town courts, although standing the costs of prosecution cannot take any of the fines for the town treasuries, and unless the ac- cused in the case is assessed also the costs of court, the town must pay M Representative Kimmel's bill calls for the reverting back of one half, of the fines imposed in the cases to the town treasuries in which the case is tried. For instance, if man i. apprehended in Plainville for a vio lation of the motor vehicle laws anc is fined $1O0 and costs, then instead | of the state getting the entire s1Q0 ; the town would get $50 or half of it
 If, however, the accused is found no
 guilty, the town will pay the cost!
 of prosecution and will receive nc money.
 The bill was referred to the judi ciary committee and will be dis
 cussed by the members of that com
 mittee and later reported back tC the house.
 Representative Kilem also ha introduced a bill into the house tt

CHILD HARMED
BY INDUCTION
OF FRIGHT
Fear Brought Into Lives OF
81 Per Cent of Children
of America

Chicago, May l3-Parents, rela-
tives and teachers, by means OF
threats, unsuitable stories or through
the contagion of their own fears,
bring fear into the lives of at least
81 percent of the children of AM
erica, the National kindergarten and
Elementary College here has deter
mined from questionable answer
ed by PIT Of the students.
Where fear was not attributed to
the home, it was usually supplied by
playmates and practical jokers or by
too close contact with the forces OF
nature, according to the college,
which blamed 81 percent OF the cases
of fear on these sources. Eleven
percent were unable to recall the
cause Of their outstanding fear, and
only little over l percent could
remember no fear at all.
The list of fears included vir-
tually everything that entered into
the life of the child, with the gen
eral exception Of members of his
family. The fear Of darkness rank
ed first. Animals, insects, gypsies,
fire, punishment, burglars, false
faces, cannibals, teachers, parents
and doctors were causes Of fear to
others.
"Less than 10 percent of these
fears could reasonably be considered
of value to the child as protection
against danger" said the college.
"The remaining 80 percent are worse
than valueless, they are menace to
the mental, moral, physical and social
development of the child. Their ef-
feet is not limited to childhood, for
more than half of these college stu
dents admitted they never had been
able entirely to overcome these fears
Normal fears, better termed 'rea-
sonable caution the usefulness and
necessity for which have been care
fully explained or demonstrated to
the child, do not leave this indelible
stain"
The questionable also asked for
suggestions as to the prevention OF
fear and first on the list was the
advice that the child should never
be frightened, either in fun or in
order to secure obedience that adults
keep their fears to themselves and
stop using the child as a safety
valve; that they learn to control
the child by other means that switch
es or darkness, and that they keep
the child from the fearful or horri-
bic element in stories, eithe: Of fic-
ton or Of real life.
