anxious to meet the parents of
the children and talk over food
problems with them. There
are no charges for the class.
Such groups are being formed
throughout the county, to bet
ter the nutritional conditions.
Remember, every Friday af-
ternoon, from 900 o'clock
until 800 o'clock, at the M. E.

would like everyone interested
in correct diet to come. Even
though your child is up to

problem upon which you need
help.

| by Private Detectives George
B. Campbell, of Phoenixville,
Pa, and Robert H. Kramer, of
Auburn, Pa, that body return
ed to the court on Wednesday
last twenty-six indictments for
violations of the liquor law
against residents of upper Cecil
county, mostly proprietors of
roadhouses in the vicinity of
Rising Sun, Porters Bridge,

The two sleuths who gave
testimony before the grand
jury are the men whom Sheriff
G.. Clinton Logan hired the lat
ter part of July to obtain evil

ing arrived the sleutha failed
to appear; then another date
was set, still the infOrmers
failed to appear.

services and work and he ap-
pealed to Judge w. B. Windle,
of West Chester, Pa, to revoke
Campbell's and Kramer's lie
enses as detectives. Saturday
was set as the date by the jur-
list for the two detectives to
show cause why their licenses
should not be revoked.
The detectives declared their
lives had been threatened if
they returned to this county to
testify. On Wednesday they
we're met at the Pennsylvania
State line at Sylmar, by two
State Highway officers, who
acted as a bodyguard, and es-
corted them to Elkton, where
they gave testimony that led
to the indictment by the Grand
Jury of the following:

ments; Earoy Steele, two in
dictments; Jack Dalton, one
