as well as other articles of cloth ing. They also assist at the moth ers' clinic, caring for the children and act as hostesses in serving re- treatments.
 During Thanksgiving both boy and girl scout troops furnish dfn- ner baskets, and articles of food to the Lincoln House association.
 On Christmas, they repair, and finish toys and other articles for those families which otherwise would not have such. Many Christi mas dinner baskets are furnished, prepared and delivered by the scouts.
 z East year the boy scouts have aided the Lincoln House associa- lion during Thanksgiving and Christmas in the delivery of hun- dreds of dinner baskets. During the recent old clothes drive. both the boy and girl scouts cooperated with the general com : l mittee.
 Tine service programs of both the | boy and girl scouts are based large | Iy upon the ideal of service and conimunity consciousness" and are planned in such a manner as to involve cooperation Wltn otHer community organizations or insti- tutions.
 In. weighing the value of any joint endeavor, it is necessary to consider the ultimate purpose as well as the immediate good, and for this reason boy and girl scout community activities are planned to contribute to the social growth of the boys and girls, as we'll as to help the people.
 ! The majority of such activities of service, though little known to the general public, contribute largely to the welfare and happi- ness of many thousands of adults and deserving children of the com munity each year.
 The officials of the Boy and Girl Scout councils feel that the service rendered by scouting in the com munity, and the character building and citizenship training received by the scouts, justify their making "a financial appeal for funds that they may continue to serve the community through scouting.
 This campaign for funds win be conducted from November 2S to December 5.

was concerned when Paquette will ingly wrote in court this morning several lines dictated to him by Attorney DeCicco. Samples of the handwriting obtained in court were compared with the statements Paquette is said to have tried to have Chianese sign concerning the $50.
 Paquette denied that he tried to ext0rt money from Chianese as compensation for the insult to his wife. He went simply for an ex- plantation and an apology. on studying the two messages Judge McGrath, Prosecuting Attorney Meyers and County Detective Ko- land filling agreed that the hand writing was the same. The court accused Paquette of attempting to perjude himself and very frankly decided that the whole af- fair was frame-up. #
 Lieutenant Stevens described the layout of the store where the al- legged assault took place. Charac- ter witnesses declared Mir Chia- nese was man of excellent repu- tation and was held in high re- gard by his neighbors. A neigh boring merchant, who heard the rumpus between Paquette and Chianese, was unable to be in court this morning, but he would have, testified, the court was in- formed, that he heard the disturb ance and on hurrying into the sstore heard some of the argument about the $50. which Paquette de- clared Chianese owed him. Judge McGrath ruled that this evidence was not necessary as he had form ed his own opinion of the case.
 Chianese was a happy man fol- lofingr the courts decision, vindi- eating him.

< What strongly resembied an at- tempt at blackmail or e revised form of the familiar badger game'' was exposed in police court this morning in the trial of Anto- nio Chianese. z5, well known shoe repairer of 420 South Main street. He was the defendant on breach of peace charge, but as the case progressed it became very appar- ent to Judge John F. McGrath and to Prosecuting Attorney Mitchell c. Meyers that the acc cused was the victim of a rather crude effort to extort money. He was discharged. No warrants were issued this morning for the arrest of the alleged principals in the case, although Attorneys ,Pasquale DeCicco and Francis Mcdonald who depresenetd Chianese, inti- mated that they would place the evedence before States Attorney |. l.. Lewis for action,
 2 Chianese was arrestd on the complaint of MT and Mrs Philip Paquette of Al North Main street. Mrs Paquette alleged that while on q visit to the accused's store on South Main street he attacked her. When her husband went to him to demand an explanation Chia- nese is alleged to have used a club and to have assaulted Paquette over the head, infiicting number of cuts. On the strength of these allegations Prosecuting Attorney Meyers issued the warrant and it was served yesterday afternoon by Lieutenants Joseph Stevens and William Pollard. The outcome of the case today evidently was the reverse of what the state witness es had antivipated.
 It developed. in the presentation of the evidence by the defense that Paquette had attempted to have Chianese sign papers. stating that he was indebted to him for $50. He was willig to accept weekly payments of the claim, or, as it was intimated to Chianese, he would get into trouble for having insulted Mrs Paquette. Chianese denied that he had acted improp- erly toward the woman and also that he owed the man any moey for ay purpose whatever.
 Mrs Paquette stated that she was insulted on Friday November IS. Her husband was positive that it was on Friday, November II. and that he went seeking an ex- plana eight days later.
 The deciding point in the case was scored as far ais city court

Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts have shown themselves as a valuable as- set to the community when any general or special service is to be rendered. The training received by our boys and girls through their scouting program readily prepares them to be of great assistance.
 During the past year both boy and girl scouts have cooperated extensively with many .0rganiza- tions of the community, including collecting clothing for the Mutual Aid unemployed committee, and distributing posters and materials for the American Red Cross. The boy scouts assisted at the Ameri- can Legion state convention, by cooperation with the police depart, ment in handling traffic during the parade. They served as sushers and messengers for the community chorus concert to aid the unen,- ployed. rg
 The girl scouts volunteer their services to the Visiting Nurses. where they help on supplies, and make roll bandages. They are now serving for the Red Cross making booties and nightgowns for babies.
