 We all have right to feel joyful over adoption of No. 6l, he said. Tt showed the people at large, when they unoeIStdno, can do the right thing
 The vote in favor of No 61 strength ened our faith in the ability of the people to govern themselves The people, who have long watched the Prohibition performance, did this thernseves.
 T honestly believe from my experience that adoption of the measure will lift part of the tax burden and will improve morals.
 "The people should be circumspect how ever in making a transition and not go to the extreme in the opposite direction There is a happy medium The people must be sensible and not be. carried away by elation. They must guard their sacred rights which are tied up in this question"

The executive committee of the
Community Chest will meet next
Tuesday, at the request Of New
bold Noyes, chairman of the

cutting down the $575,000 deficit
with which the drive closed.

who had not completed their
quotas by the time the campaign
ended Wednesday night will keep
on the job in the effort to add
a substantial sum to the $1,845,.
651 already subscribed.
Look to U. S. Workers
Thomas E. Campbell, chairman
of the governmental unit. is es-
pecially confident. OF the quota

BY Barber Carried Into
Court by Policeman

Charges of abusive treatment
at Gallinger Hospital, made by
Rocco Socco, 81, unemployed bar
ber, were denied today by Dr.
Edgar Bocock, superintendent OF
the hospital. He said:
"The man is ready to ap-
pear in court at any time. He
is completely cured. My per-
sOnal opinion is that he wanted
a few days more at the hos
pital and played off yesterday.
He has been walking about the
hospital for a week and has
been doing barber work also."
Facing a charge of intoxication
made October %, the barber was
carried into Police Court yester-

broken collarbone which had
never been set. Judge Ralph

fered a simple fracture of small
bone in the leg, which usually
requires three or four weeks for
perfect healing. He said the cast
was taken off Socco'S leg a week
ago and he was pronounced
cured.
He also declared the broken col
larbone had been set. Another
examination was made today, DR.
Bocock said, and the findings of
a complete cure of Socco'S injur'
les were corroborated.

Perhaps that's one reason
why motoring is an all-year

of heating equipment.
This is pointed out in a re.

this timely bit of advice that may
some day apply to home-owners in

get look at the inside of your home
or to gain entrance. Patronize your
home men and play SAFE"
