COURT BLACkLISTS
 220 HIGH STREET
Operator Of "Speak Easy''
 Draws Down $175 Fine

Joseph Andzejczyk, aged 34, of 1o7 Broad street, pleaded guilty to the charge of selling liquor in a store at 22o High street in police court this morning. Detective Sergeant Ellinger testified that he and Officer Strolls raided the stor last Friday evening and seized a bottle of al- cohol in a soda water box. Andze- jczyk admitted that he sold alcohol for 25 cents a drink, the police raid CTS testified.
 Officer John c. Stadler testified that he has observed the store and men of drinking habits patronize it. It Is open from 6:30 to a. m.: 11:30 Ia. m.. to p. m.; 4;45 to s p. m. The greatest number of customers can be found in there after p. m. Officer Stadler was so certain that liquor could be bought there that when he turned over the search war rant to Sergeant Ellinger. he also told him where and how to find the evidence.
 Attorney Colon, defense counsel. claimed that the count of reputation has not been proven.
 The mere fact that Officer Stadler was told that liquor could be pur- chased in the store is not su6icient to convict, he contended. and in view of the plea of guilty on the selling count, he asked for leniency. Prose- cutting Attorney Woods replied that when Officer Stadler said the store has the reputation Of being a place where liquor can be purchased. he told nothing but what he knew. He has done his work we'll for the state of Connecticut" the prosecuting at torney said.
 Officer Stadler observed the place so sharply he was able to tell Ser geant Eilinger exactly where to find the alcohol. I ask for conviction on both counts
 Judge filling merged the counts and imposed fine of SITS and costs and suspended jail sentence of 30 days, T want to announce right now that the next person convicted of violating the liquor law, at 22o High street will go to jail whether it is the first, second or fifth offense," the judge said.
 A store at 10 Silver street, which was raided last Thursday, Is open daily from 6:30 a. m., to about s p. m.. as general rule but the hours vary, according to testimony of Off cer John c. Stadler in the cases of Leon Honiski. aged 31. of 475 Bur ritt street, and Alex Klepacki aged |16, of 42 Silver street. charged with violation of the liquor law. Factory employees patronize the store, and women and children seldom go into it. the officer said.
 Judge W. F. Mangan represented both men and cross- examined the of fcer at length about entries the of- ficer made on a sheet of paper as a result of his observations of the store. The officer testified to seeing klepacki standing outside the store door and pass bottle ip to Honisli, who later passed it back to him. On the day of the arrests. Officers Stadler and Cosgrove saw Klepacki outside the store. Ie had bottles of liquor in his pocket and tucked un- der his belt.
 A glass having the odor of moon- shine was insido the store. Judge Mangan asked Officer stadler his reason for not raiding the store on the days he observed Klepacki pass the bottle through the door. The officer replied that he was not sure he could make . successful raid just then.

CITY SHOULD HAVE SWIMNING POOL

Another summer has officially passed, leading ore
to wonder how many will pass along the
calendar before Ell Centro has sort of municipal
swimming pool
Other cities in California, larger than E Centro
and not blessed with such high temperatures in the
summer months have plendld pools, where youngsters
and their elders obtain relief from the heat.
1t is fer the younger generation principaliy that
the need ot swimming pool here is urgent. Ell Cen
tro is il danger Of raising considerable number OF
youngsters who will resemble the late Dick Wick Hall
famous frog in that ehey will reach the age OF seven
years without having learned to swim.
Some OF the youngsters are even Older than that
and they cannot swim stroke The fault is not
theirs for opportunities to learn how to swim are
mighty slim around FL Centre. Their dads must feel
sort of guilty when they recall their boyhood days
around the old swimming holes back in the east and
middle west.
A modern swimming pool is not something that can
be built with 10 cents, and it requires considerable
executive and financial ability get the movement
for municipal pool started 1t be built however,
and FL Centre can build it.
The necessity of swimming pool Is recognized by
many FL Centre residents. Serious consideration OF
such project should be given by the city council the
chamber Of and every civic organization IN
