FAMILY 'SPL|GHT
P|T|FUL, TIMES
EDITOR HEARS

Two children. mere babies in
years, a sick father and a desper-
ate mother have appealed to the
Goodfellow Editor of The Wash
ington Times for assistance.
The family's need Is urgent.
The father, an ex-service man, is
seriously i'll and has been out Of
work for two hard years. Unable
to pay rent, the little family has
been living in a makeshift house
car, travelling from vacant lot to
vacant lot. Until the bad weather
set it their case was pitiful
enough, but since the snow Of
last week aggravated their plight.
The children, a boy and a girl.
are five and six years old.
But. two days remain for the
city'S GoodfellowS to rally to the
support of this family and many
others whoSeS pitiful letters clut-
ter the Goodfellow Editors desk.
The response has been great.
The Volunteers of America will
aid the Goodfellows. But there
are still dozens of letters each
telling its own pathetic story,
which must go unanswered unless
some Goodfellow volunteers.

 In Schmidt's case he alleged that one Frank Pecka, 22. of Wolcott road had waylaid him near his home last evening and had beaten him with blackjack. He exhibit ed patch on his head, which he claims was little remembrance of the attack. The Carbonneau brothers testifying for the state also named Pecka as the aggressor
 Pecka claimed self-defense, but was fined $1O and costs on the charge of breach of the peace. The costs vii include the $1.80 which saved Selle from going to jail. The only souvenir Schmidt has for his experience and generosity is a lac- erated forehead.

The loyalty of three pals, who were willing to part with witness fees, saved Walter Selle, 22, of 26 Prospect street. Union City. from serving a week in jail. He was found guilty this morning of oper- ating a car without a license and was fined $2 and costs. A friend interceded and had the costs re- mitted, but Selle was without the g to pay and was ordered return ed to the cell room to await a ride to the county jail in New Haven.
 The complaining witness, Robert Schmidt of IF Stillson road, who claims to have been "blackjacked" last evening and Raymond and Wilfred Carbonneau, witnesses for the state in another case, went to Selle's rescue. Not one of the trio had any money with them. but they quickly realized that each had 60 cents coming to them. They pooled this amount and were still short of twenty cents of the desired
