SHERIFF RAIDS
CENTRAL PLANT
OF LIQUOR GANG

Said by officers to be the central
distributing point for numerous
beer establishments about Brawley
and Ell Centre, an almost complete
brewery a mile and a half west of
Brawley on the Keystone road was
raided Saturday night by Under-
sheriff Rodney Clarke and Fred
Elliott, deputy.
Beer and manufacturing mater.
ials representing an outlay of al
most $500 were taken in the raid
George Washburn, "a, was arrested
on charge of possession of liquor
Officers expressed the opinion he Is
fall guy" for the owner OF the
liquor plant.
The raid was made at about
midnight Saturday. 1t was O'Clock
Sunday morning before the officers
had transported what beer they
did not destroy into FL Centre ana
TO the county jail. Sheriff George
L. Campbell and Don Campbell,
special deputy, aided in destroying
the liquor.
NlIle IuuuTeu quart DOtblcS OF
beer, 220 gallons OF beer ready to
bottle. and l6 large crooks were
confiscated
No glasses, tables, or other signs
that the beer was sold on the prem
lses were discovered. This led to
the assumption that the beer was
being distributed to retail estab-
lishments
Raiding of this place ends a long
search by Sheriff Campbell and his
deputies for the distributing point
they knew existed, but could not
find.

We weren't noticing him, when sud-

screen The baby bird cried so
loud that we took it up to the roof
where the mother bird flew to him.
We were all excited when the
mother bird found him.--Dorothy

Sometimes the wind is very un-
kind, but it surely was good to our
school one week. Wednesday it
blew so hard during operetta prac-
tice that our teachers decided we
would have 10 give our program at
Wilson school. We wanted 1t on
the partico at Lincoln where we
had practiced. / guess the wind
knew this, for it stopped long
enough for our program in the
morning, then blew hard all after
noon and Friday too. We were
lucky-Helen Tipps, 5-B-l.
We went to the Southern Sierras
plant and looked all through it. A
man told us what everything was
for and about the two power lines
that come, one from San Bernar-

We had a police escort who helped
us get across Main street and the

FRENCH FOREIGN
 LEGION FILLED

Paris.-(UP)-The six regiments of the French Foreign Legion are filled with recruits at more than full war strength, so the word has been sent around to recruiting stations that no more recruits will be accepted at present. The world depression and unemployment are blamed.
 At the same time that it put up bars temporarily against volun- teers, the legion cut from 5000 to 1000 francs the enlistment bonus which was once badly needed to attract recruits. French colonial regiments still offer 5000 francs enlistment bonus. but they will take only French soldiers.
 With the rush of recruits. the physical and mental examinations were made so strict that four out of five applicants were refused Things have changed in the legion and it is now as hard to get in as 1t once was to get out.

TERRYVILLE Fairchild House Is
 Razed For Reservoir
Located on New Watershed Many Farms North of
 Town Bought for Game Preserve

Work of raging the Fairchild house on the Harwinton road has been completed. The land on which this house stood has been purchased by the Bristol Water Company which has several reser- voirs located in the northern part of town. During the past few years the Bri- .ol Water Company has purchased several large farms in the northern part of Terryvllc and the southern part of Harwin- ton for their water shed and have razed many fine old colonial farm houses, on that land, much to the sorrow of local townspeople.
 Several of the farm houses which have been razed were rich in the early history of Plymouth and dated back to the Revolutary war times when this section had a great many tories. for which the East Plymouth section is noted for.
 The Water Company has set out thousands of pine trees on this land.
 Another piece of land which WAS purchased by a Waterbury group was the well-known Mt Tobe farm. at one time a k.--e poultry farm. It was proposed to turn this land into an airport for Waterbury and vicinity. The fashioned farm house was moved a quarter of a mile to a new site and the large barns and other buildings were razed, following which a fleet of trucks and two steam shovels were put to work in grading the land After doing much work during which several of the knolls were partly dug away and dirt piled in other sections of the 160 acre lot, and with the work of grading about half done, the machinery and 1. cks were taken off of the job and lt what was once an attractive farm. looking like a battle field after a fierce fight.
